thegaffer Posted 10 June, 2009 Author Share Posted 10 June, 2009 Wrong. Mike dosen't have a clue who might be taking over. He has had conversations with Matt but has the utmost respect for Matt and never asked the question. With you on that, not through any mystical power simply because someone told me that was the case but what I don't understand is the original poster is "as close as you can get to Mike Osman" who is close to some of the parties involved with the club/buyer so would have thought he was asking a question the answer to which he already knew...strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh oh Well probably because My daughter just got back with the rotisserie chicken and I lost my thought train at that point I then had to go and make Jalapeno Shrimp Ladders (Ainslie special on Beeb Food) for our "beach trip bbq at the weekend") As for MB - I have to leave at 6am and won't have internet all weekend so I really would like to know what Mr Law's new story is - surely he is running out of things to say as much as this place by now......

Will it be The aftermath of Patred's prank Who leaked the nasty Pinnacle stories The completion of the deal or uh oh Master Bates - better get up early tomorrow your forum may need youI reckon it is "investigative" journalism in the hope someone knows something the Echo cannot find out ie the money man. The fact that no one knows (or at least only a very limited number within the closed circle) is worrying many including our local rag. If you want to know you go fishing. Drop a bit of bait and wait to get something on a hook. Why is someone close to Mike Osman starting such a post. Why are the media fishing by putting up stories of Swiss alternatives? Because they do not know and worry why someone of the wealth suggested is not using Seymour Pierce's experience or someone similar? It is a complaint leveled against another player in this saga! Let us hope the worries become unfounded and our club is saved by Pinnacle and their money man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4737_carlin Posted 10 June, 2009 Share Posted 10 June, 2009 I have heard that the Daily Echo sports department have been running to the tune of the Begbies Traynor PR machine. The Jersey boys, then irish, then swiss all done to amplify a deal to get the creditors more money. I would even say the outing of Jackson was done to scare others into acting. One can only presume that all creditors where happy with what they where going to be paid before Tony Lynam announced his client was worth 'several hundred million'. I would call that a massive PR gaff btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would call that a massive PR gaff btw. I would be very surprised if a professional services firm is leaking misleading snippets to the media. It's just not done. As for the creditors, I imagine they realise that getting a decent return is more important to them than buying Saints is to the investor. Evidently, this is an opportunistic acquisition by someone who isn't going to be held over a barrel. If they were desperate to buy Saints they would have done so previously. That and the fact that the price would have been agreed prior to Lynam making his announcement, as WSS says above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who benefits IF during that time the buyers are "scared away" and another few weeks have to happen with somebody new...... And of course, who actually gets screwed?

Nineteen Canteen Posted 10 June, 2009 Share Posted 10 June, 2009 Any ideas on why the new owner won't reveal himself? Yes but before I do will the real Gaffer please reveal himself. One minute he is on here signing his posts as Mike Osman the next he is pretending to be someone close to Mike Osman but surely in any event someone who has links to MLT ergo probably knows the answer to his question already. But what is your question, do you want to know who the new owner is or why he won't reveal himself? Perhaps you know who the new owner is but don't understand why he does not want to 'reveal' himself because you are bursting to be first to spill the beans, is that the case? IMO some of your posts have a failed DJ sort of rhetoric to them. Please let us know who you really are you comedian, Ho Ho Ho, whatever mate.

VectisSaint Posted 10 June, 2009 Share Posted 10 June, 2009 It is not so strange when somebody has been asked not to spill the beans. Gentlemen can behave. Honour among thieves. Silence is a virtue. Take your pick. I will be happy to see us playing next season, end of. Probably subject of an NDA, just like the fellas looking to take over Newcastle. Matt and Lynam were probably allowed to break cover because in the end they are not the prospective owners, and announcing Matt is involved is a good thing for one and all. I would be more worried if we did know who it was, because that would tell me that the propsective new owner is not very discreet and probably not a good businessman. I know it seems to be taking an age, but patience is a virtue, and all will be revealed in the fullness of time however much gnashing of teeth we indulge in.
