Pinnacle clinch it.

[beatlesaint]

When all the information has been checked (final due diligence) all will be put to the Principal by Pinnacle for a final decision whether to proceed or not with the purchase.

 

Well that sounds scary...............i assumed the decision to purchase had already been made !!!

[OldNick]

Well that sounds scary...............i assumed the decision to purchase had already been made !!!

the decison has been made unless the checks made by the professional people appointed find some nasties in the books.

[SFC Forever]

Someone is trying to upset me and is succeeding.

[thorpie the sinner]

sorry

[Bakovnetski]

Couldn’t start a new thread as haven’t paid the fiver..

 

BWP is at Plymouth FC and looks likely that the transfer has been agreed.

 

Wake up and smell the coffee

I thought they'd already checked the finances and that this exclusivity period was/is to tie up the legalities ?

 

So no idea why people are still talking about the finances stacking up.... :confused:

you are right.

 

its for contracts, property issues, de-listing, sorting out ownership with fa etc.

 

and making payment!

You'd have thought de-listing was a good sign.

 

Apparently not for some on here

Ok, well thanks a bunch Weston for dropping that little soundbite in and then clearing off.

Normally you make me feel so much more at ease......not today.....hell we are in the home straight and I dont need this doubt nagging at me : - (

That would be the same Weston Saint who was backing the antics of the clown Jackson the other week?

 

Not sure he has any ulterior motive

If you think that you dont know Weston. He is as open and honest as they come - and merely advocated giving Whacko the benefit of the doubt - because he likes to see the best in folk.. nothing more sinister than that.

[gordonToo]

If Due Diligence shows no surprises then the deal should still be on. If, on the other hand, a Lowe poison pill is discovered hidden inside the books then the Principal may decide to walk away. That's what DD is all about.

Have been told today by a friend who has spoken to my source this morning:-

 

All is progressing very well & the official confirmation will be announced on Friday. Pinnacle ARE in talks with PI re the managers position.

I thought it was merely a coincidence that PI was in touch with the media today.

Maybe not.....

[crouchi]

He was on Radio 5 Sunday talking about a return to manage in the Premiership, even if via a Championship side or a League 1 side - so he must be keeping his options open

[hugh]

Oh God, Ince, Noooooooooooo.

[miserableoldgit]

Oh God, Ince, Noooooooooooo.

I remember people saying the same thing about Gordon Strachan.

[sotonist]

At least if he joins us it will signal that the funds are there to match his ambition, judging by his words to the press.

[Matthew Le God]

If we were to interest Paul Ince at a League One level it is a great sign of the level of investment to come in order to tempt him here.

 

Personally I think he'd be great for us. I know alot on here hold something against him but he'd get us moving upwards quickly. Before Inter Milan come calling

[Colinjb]

Ince was brought up to the premiership before he was ready. An ideal choice, he has already won trophies at this level.

[Ludwig]

Ince was brought up to the premiership before he was ready. An ideal choice, he has already won trophies at this level.

 

Which?

[Matthew Le God]

Which?

 

I think he means the Football League Trophy(Johnstone Paint) and League Two Champions

[Ludwig]

I think he means the Football League Trophy(Johnstone Paint) and League Two Champions

 

League two is not this level. So he's won a trophy, a meaningless one, but it's hardly trophies.

[Matthew Le God]

League two is not this level.

 

I never said it was. That was Colinjb

[Saint Fan CaM]

Key point - has there ever been any 'issues' or celeb type contact between MLT and Ince in the past? Will there be a meeting of the minds (5 year plan to the Prem might be a good start!)? If so and its sustainable, then I can see no reason why Ince might not be a superb appointment actually.

 

He was on course to achieve with the Dons what Pearson did at Leicester but without the money and that is the biggest issue with him - will he turn his back on the club the moment a bigger offer comes in, or will he stay the course? This is something even Pinnacle will not be able to answer, but if they've got a good strategy it will include indemnity against the manager being poached if he's getting results.

Shame.

 

I thought several on here had stated MLT was unlikely to work with Ince.

 

I hope it is an interview as one of a number of candidate before deciding on an appropriate choice, such as Tisdale.

[Matthew Le God]

Still close to Glenn Hoddle according to this...

[EBS1980]

So Paul Ince did well at L2 Macclesfield and L2 MK Dons and got his chance with Blackburn and it didn't work out. So in my opinion will have a point to prove wherever he goes next. He will want to prove to the doubters that he can manage and Blackburn was just a blip.

 

Could do worse than Ince IMO, an ambitious manager with a point to prove, sounds good to me.

[tommi]

PI?

 

Yes please, finally someone with a winning mentality!

[4737_carlin]

Shame.

Tisdale ?? FFS You are having a giraffe

[Carlos Fandango]

Keegan was at MLT's house today and that is from the same person who confirmed the JR link to me a few weeks ago. There is evidence to prove the MLT/KK link. I don't like posting rumours but this one has, in my opinion, a credible source. I suppose it doesn't mean necessarily that Keegan will be joining us, there could be a million reasons for him to be there.

Not sure if I'm 100% sure Keegan would be the right man for us in our position but at least it would (SHOULD) put bums on seats.

[Badger]

Tisdale ?? FFS You are having a giraffe

 

No.Tisdale has a track record of success - promotions to be precise -at clubs with limited or no resources.

 

Ince on the other hand is a charlatan.Sorry,can't think of an idiotic current phrase,idiom, or rhyming slang word to match your effort.He invented his own 'image' as 'guv'nor but went missing when men of true leadership were needed in a penalty shoot out.

 

His management career is based on Ray Mathias who knows the lower leagues at both Macclesfield and MK ( where the team was built by Martin Allen).

 

Long term, Tisdale has more to offer than most other candidates imho.

So that is two interviews that have been conducted according to informed posters on here.KK and Ince.

 

Fair play to MLT,if true, on casting the net.

I heard today from my source that all will be revealed on thursday. no details about who had been chosen for manager would be revealed. i do know dowie, tisdale, cotteril and ince have been spoken too but dont know which it will be.

[trousers]

I heard today from my source that all will be revealed on thursday.

 

Thursday? Oh my God...don't they realise that will disturb the space time continuum to the point of no return?

matt lives in bournemouth so seems daft to be at the stadium and home

[Verbal]

Thursday? Oh my God...don't they realise that will disturb the space time continuum to the point of no return?

 

If you travelled out into the universe fast enough, you could return the day before you left. That's probably what was meant by 'Thursday'.

 

HTH.

[Saint Charlie]

Do you think they have already agreed a deal with one of them? Also I assume MLT spoke to Tidsale in a non-SFC capacity, otherwise we would have to ask for permission from Exeter...well if the rules mean anything!!

[saint_mears]

Seen him around hedge end many times over recent weeks.

Yeah Im assuming a deal has been done. Gut feel its dowie but i guess well find out soon. MLT knows tisdale but your right offically he cant approach him. Then again I think we all know that noone plays by the rules.

Paul Ince would be great. A big name that will put bums on seats .

agree with all of that

[It's There]

Yeah Im assuming a deal has been done. Gut feel its dowie but i guess well find out soon. MLT knows tisdale but your right offically he cant approach him. Then again I think we all know that noone plays by the rules.

 

Why not? MLT has no direct connections to Saints, as of now, until the takeover happens! he can speak to anyone he likes, can't he, and noone can say he's poaching a manager because MLT has no job...so to speak. He can chat "informally" and make sure that the person they want is ameniable (sp?) and be ready to get the ball rolling on Thursday/Friday when he finally becomes chairman etc.

 

Or am I just being pedantic?

[saint lard]

Is there anyone else on here that thinks Tisdale would be the wrong choice?

[Thedelldays]

Is there anyone else on here that thinks Tisdale would be the wrong choice?

yes IF

 

we have money and COULD get a bigger name who can be backed with a decent amount of money

 

if we dont have a pot to **** in, then tisdale would be good
