The quote from the BS is a couple of months old. Cannot see how the Sun can get info that no one else can! I personaly feel it is the Suns lack of info more like which makes that story. They are probably not aware how advanced things are with pinnacle. This I believe is a tribute to pinnacle and all involved that no news or info is leaking out.

I doubt it has any more info. Farmer / Doggface Im sure would let us know if there was going to be a hold up..well i hope they would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 17 June, 2009 Share Posted 17 June, 2009 The Farmer said: No he is not, quite the opposite if you read between the lines. He found Rupert an 'interesting challenge' and his ideas somewhat 'out there' compared to the footballing knowledge and experience possessed by Strachan. In a sort of twisted manner, WGS enjoyed the banter between them, the ex pro and the football novice if you like. He credits Lowe with persisting to try and impose ideas (some Hockey based!!!) against stiff oppostion from all quarters. I think he admired Lowe's spirit and single mindedness, but also hinted that this would be his downfall in the football arena. WGS is an interesting and unique charachter himself and I think he found Rupert equally unique and in that respect found him 'amusing'. He may of complimented Lowe on his supposed business acumen but he is anything but complimentary to him on football issues, more patronising & belittling TBF.Is this knowledge a hint of who you have been talking to recently then Farmer??

What about the non refundable deposit which could be used as a lifeline if a replacement buyer needs to be found if all goes tits up. What about the swiss co waiting in the wings. I just think the sun story is based on no info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't post it, or a link, but in summary it says, Southampton will be hot favourites for the Bluesquare Premier League if this that and the other. The Peak moment will be Friday, when the deal is Crowned following last minute Summit talks with the Top Brass. Until them I'm staying here in my Troughicle. Ahhhh...'Pinnacle' eh? Also my favourite Golf Balls....let's hope no-one gets Frostbite on the way to the Summit eh???? ---- I would love it, just love it if I find out it's done Friday.....;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmer is a reliable poster as far as im concerned, and his summary was interesting as though they may have been in conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exit2 Posted 18 June, 2009 Share Posted 18 June, 2009 What people have to remeber is that if it doesnt happen Friday, it is not the end of Pinnacle or the club. Friday is the last day exculsivity thats all. Also that the deadline is 23:59:59 so nothing might happen until Monday. (exit2 gets down on his knees and prays it does happen on Friday:) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard pinnacle are looking for an extension till tuesday & that fry is playing hard ball & will not budge on the deadline.

The Pinnacle consortium has not been at all impressive so far, and if they fumble the ball right at the very start it doesn't look good for the medium to long term.

Saint_Ash Posted 18 June, 2009 Share Posted 18 June, 2009 Doesn't bother me if the Pinnacal lot don't get their shiz sorted by tomorrow and someone else gazumps thems. Having a club is the most important thing, I'm happy that there are other potential buyers out there that can step in. One thing that makes me think that it'll be ok though is the fact that the Directors have all been put forward to the FA. I think Pinnacle will clinch it tomorrow and we'll all be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
