Pinnacle back in contention for Saints
10:20am Friday 3rd July 2009 in
-
- Exclusive By Simon Carter » Sports Editor
THE mystery overseas consortium’s hopes of completing a takeover at St Mary’s yesterday were stunned by the Pinnacle group’s return to the scene.
The worldwide financial services group were initially confident of announcing a deal had been completed after their lawyers had spent two days negotiating with administrator Mark Fry and creditors.
Former Football League chairman Keith Harris – head of Saints’ financial advisors Seymour Pierce – had also been working behind the scenes on their behalf.
But representatives of the overseas group – exclusively revealed by the Echo on Monday as being late arrivers at the bidding table – and their lawyers were totally bemused to find out at tea-time yesterday that Pinnacle, who withdrew from the race on Tuesday, were apparently back in contention again.
Pinnacle’s Tony Lynam exclusively told the Echo last night that “the last 24 hours have been busy, but probably not as busy as the next 24 hours.”

I think the reace is well and truly on now for anyone to complete - not just Pinnacle.
For the doubters amongst you out there - I think the Pinnacle bid is to late - someone else will buy the club for less money along with the guarantee of no further points deduction.
Thank-you Pinnacle - we sold two stars for a life line - but got no more deductions.
Play-offs here we come?
Well I don't think so because this lot will struggle to adapt to 1st Division football - look at our recent Cup performances against sides from this division.
So a year of consolidation before the big push in 2010-11.
Feel more optimistic this morning - don't know why, but whether a deal is done today or next month...I believe now we will have a team to follow.

I for one dont want Wotte in charge next year as he has allready proved he cant cut it! A good smooth talker but thats about it!
I also dont know why he sees Kelvin Davis as a key player and I certainly would not want him as captain again!
Look over the past few seasons and the stats and number of goals conceeded and then tell me hes a hero!
We need a total fresh look a total rebuild over time as if we continue with what weve got we run the chance of sinking further or at best treading water!
So pleaswe please wake up everybody and dont keep supporting Wotte & has been Svenson!

Only a few days ago they said they were withdrawing to be fair to Saints and let someone else come in to do the deal. This is not helping, they have had their exclusivity period and some. So they either walk in and sign at 9.00am this morning or they disappear into the night and keep their mouth shut from here on in.

Beggars can't be choosers.
Just because the other consortiums havn't said a single thing about who they are or what they will do, doesn't mean they will be any better than Pinnacle.
For all we know, the Swiss group may want to merge us with Pompey.
If fans here are so worried about who may takeover the club, then get up off your backside and set up your own consortium or fans trust to buy the club instead of moaning and yelling abuse at people day in and day out based upon hardly any factual information.

I think the administrator must be getting to the stage now where he loses whatever interest he had in selling the club as a going concern, and will just liquidate it to recover whatever he can for the creditors, which is what he is employed for anyway.

Did you go to any games last year? If you did you would have seen the outstanding performances Kelvin put in. Without him we may have been relegated at Christmas. A keeper of his quality in League 1 may make the difference in crucial games.
Just hope someone saves our club and in time to keep him

Most of them have come from supporters of the dark lord whose aim is to frighten off all other bids in the hope that their evil leader would sneak back in.
Remember this is just one more "battle" in the long war that was started when 80+% of us stood up in Jan 2006.

Best solution is selling as a going concern not to liquidate the assets as they'll be worth next to nothing - stadium not owned, players out of contract, etc.
There are a lot people here who seem to blame Fry at the moment. He has been pretty straight on this - have all the consortiums supposedly interested?

No doubt that any newspaper is out to sell newspapers, duh! But they don't get paid per hit and as far as info about Saints goes, I've been watching Sky Sports online (which is the uber source of info), BBC and the Echo. The Echo has always given me the latest news on saints because the nationals just don't care about league 1 teams as much. If you think that there is no valid opinion on the mess that has been the pinacle takeover, try reading todays business page in the newspaper! The Echo is a business like many others to make money but it's more bothered about getting the lastest local info about saints to the fans than any alternative and NO, I don't work for them!!

So if it's True Pinnacle, you've had your exclusivity period, you've had you reassurances from the football league about the points position, you got the contracts, all you have to do is supply proof of funding and sign the contracts and return, should be tied up this afternoon then.

Although having been dead for over thirty years, sources say a late bidder in the form of Mr Tein's gran has been received. In an interview with medium The Great Wingo the late Mrs Tein explained how money stored under her bed from the second world war by her and a number of her now dead friends would be used to finance the bids. A number of mediums have been in contact with the administrator who was last night was in a circle holding hands with the five mediums fronting the bid. Experts believe this bid is as likely to succeed as any of the other half baked idiot schemes seemingly on the table

Whoever wins this bidding battle will have to spend a lot and quickly if we are to make something of the season. Last nights' echo reflected on the fact we only have 21 players on the books and some of those look likely to leave.
Whatever happens you have to show a lot of respect to Wotte for holding things together as much as possible. If he had done a runner then it would have been an awful position for any new manager and the players would have no guidance whatsoever. As it is he has served Saints well and whilst he may not become our long term manager he deserves praise for keeping the behind the scenes act together during this crisis.

This appears to be a classic case of gazundering on Pinnacle's behalf - asking for a last minute reduction in price which is timed to prevent the seller rejecting the lower price otherwise the sale will collapse.
In this case it appears the creditors called Pinnacle's bluff.
I still respect Matty, but Lynam stated that Pinnacle was backed by a single individial whose wealth was in the hundreds of millions. This now appears to be false - so how can we trust Pinnacle?

Remuneration is no object as players will not be paid. Must have own transport as the team bus has been repossessed.
Will need to buy, wash and iron their own kit and clean their own boots as all the apprentices are now in the first team.
Posatl applications only please (phones have been dosconnected) in confidence to Mark Fry.
Please send a SAE with application as the club has no funds for return postage.

I think the Echo should take care not to overuse the phrase 'dramatic twist' as it's really an excuse for lazy journalism. They may as well add the word 'gate' to the end of everything (the pinnaclegate affair etc). Also Echo copy writers, please don't confuse the term 'dramatic' with 'tedious', you seem to have been doing that a lot recently

version 2.
Fry; we have been talking to interested parties and we have struck a deal with **** but my fees are so high i want to keep this going a bit longer.

Please send a SAE with application as the club has no funds for return postage.what was the point of that post
Get a grip, these posts have no point, other than to cure boredom or have an occasional rant at world outside.
They also give the Echo a means to fill their pages when they run out things to print. (Most days)
If they are that important to you then there must be far worse postings than this that are messing with your mind.

I just think the Pinnacle Group called the Football Leagues bluff. There was a points issue - now the FL has come out and said "No further deduction in the case of Southampton because we have nothing in the guidelines to cover their situation". I think the reace is well and truly on now for anyone to complete - not just Pinnacle. For the doubters amongst you out there - I think the Pinnacle bid is to late - someone else will buy the club for less money along with the guarantee of no further points deduction. Thank-you Pinnacle - we sold two stars for a life line - but got no more deductions. Play-offs here we come? Well I don't think so because this lot will struggle to adapt to 1st Division football - look at our recent Cup performances against sides from this division. So a year of consolidation before the big push in 2010-11. Feel more optimistic this morning - don't know why, but whether a deal is done today or next month...I believe now we will have a team to follow.
Get ready to streak Witch Tits!

Fialka has no money - he's a chancer. Why on earth are they giving him more column inches - he's a fantasist loser who lives at home with his mummy and daddy even though he's 32. How many multimillionaires like at home with their parents in a modest house?
Every claim the Pinnacle Group made has turned out to be complete tosh.
He had Lynam front up his bid because he didn't like publicity and now he's seeking as much as he can get even though his bid has collapsed. He's clearly just an attention seeker - we all know now he's skint.
Why give him more coverage? Please just ignore him!

Guys, listen, we should all boycott the Echo.
They just write any old crap, stating one thing one day and another thing the next.
What a load of tosh.
I for one am sticking to Vodafone text alerts, which tell me definitely when something has happened.
Good luck if you're going to keep visiting these pages and posting comments; but remember every visit you make here gives the Echo another hit on their site!
In the old days the paper came through the letter box once a day and you could catch the sport's news on Solent, Radio 2 etc. Now we have 24 hour news. There isn't more news there is just lots more coverage.
I picture hundreds of Saints fans pressing refresh regularly all day and the Echo feeds them something every so often.
If you watch Sky Sports News for any length of time you see it go round and round with the same stuff - 24 hours coverage of a few minutes news.
If you sum up all the real hard news on the take-over over the past few weeks there are probably 5 or 6 proper developments that you could listen to in 30 SECONDS - the rest is just people at computers waiting, and the Echo feeding them. No wonder most of it is rubbish...

The reason why the FL are coming out with"we aint going to dock more points is quite simple. Pinnacle have shamed this lot into making it publicly known because if the club goes bust, they will be responsible.Who do you believe on the points issue,MLT or the FL.If the FL are so sure that Saints would not be docked further points,why not announce this as soon as the problem arose.Why wait until Pinnacle have pulled out to announce.Get into your thick heads that Pinnacle were only fighting for your club, and if they pull out of the deal it will be down to the negatives being spouted on here.

We need a total fresh look a total rebuild over time as if we continue with what weve got we run the chance of sinking further or at best treading water! So pleaswe please wake up everybody and dont keep supporting Wotte & has been Svenson!what a load of rubbish. Did you see Davis in action? even van der Sar would have conceded a lot of goals with our defence put in front of him. Davis is worth at least 20 points a season to us so for you to say he is not a key player shows me 2 things you either have something seriously against the guy or you have not been to a saints game since the first year of signing him. I am also of the note I dont care who buys are club just do it. COYR
Im a season ticket holder and havent missed aq home game @ St Mary's + been to a few away games too and if we stick with ~Davis were going nowhere!
He lost us our chance against Derby and behind any defence you need a keeper to take command and tnhat he certainly doesnt!
So no im no armchair supporter im a full time supporter having played a reasonablew standard in my time so please dont be fooled by the hype about Davis!
If he had anything about him he would be a West Ham player by now but he just wants an easy life out of the spotlight here if possible!and just take the money !

People are asking for news, but if the Echo publishes a story which isn't 'Club Sold' then everyone will give them stick for making things up. Likewise, people demand updates from TL, but if he speaks to the press then he's somehow not being professional So how about they proactively go and find some news are do what they are supoposed to new and get some headline news which the public want
If it's a strain on fans' nerves then imagine what it's doing to them. They must be too scared to even pop out for a fag in case something happens and they miss it.

Whilst you continue to believe what you say your are wasting your time.
The reason Southampton are a facing this are
1. Poor financial management
2. Poor playing results
3. Poor support from fans when things fell from what they believed is their rightful place.
Nothing else. The Football League wouldn't even ned to be considering the position if those failures were not in place.
Because they have to, they apply the rules that others have to adhere to to play in the competition. Any ultimate failure of the club rests entirely on the shoulders of those in points 1-3 above.

The reason Pinnacle had to withdraw from the negotiating table is because their real money man was none other than Michael 'King Of Pop' Jackson. Following the singer's sad demise last week, Pinnacle frontman Tony Lynham desperately spent the weekend trying to convince other members of the Jackson family to take over from Michael in providing the cash, but none of them have got any left.
Now, however, it appears that Lynham has managed to source alternate funding from Justin Timberlake. Timberlake, who has built a career out of paying tribute to Jackson, says "It's what he would have wanted".
Should the deal go through, however, Timberlake has insisted he be allowed to play for the Saints in the new position of SexyRightBack.
Right, where's my job?

I've not supported this team for over 50 years to see it go under. I would prefer the devil himself than have no Saints FC.
Anyhow, no-one is seriously suggesting he's on his way back. Although I would p155 myself laughing if that was the only way to save the club after the the successful putsch to get rid of him. Saints fans - don't ya just luv 'em.
Still let's hope for better things.

Andrew Pindar and family
RESULTS FOR 2008
Ranking: 1446=
Worth: £50m
Source of wealth: Printing
A new racing yacht was commissioned by the print and electronic media company GA Pindar to boost marketing. The business is headed by Pindar, 50, whose great-grandfather ran an eponymous printing group in the 1870s in Scarborough, still the base. Prestigious contracts include Yellow Pages and GCSE exam papers. We put a £45m valuation on the company, largely owned by the Pindar family and trusts. There are other assets.

and stick with the Swiss Group.
Do think Mark Fry may have something to do with the Pinnacle Group??
Think about it,
First he chose Pinnacle Group in stead of the Swiss Group and at the end of the 3 weeks of exclusivity period he extended the deadline, and now he has let then return back in the frame.
Ii makes you think.

What bemuses me with the whole scenario is that supporters haven’t been more critical of Fry. He has made grave mistakes in the whole process of selling Southampton Football Club (ie Exclusivity agreements, all eggs in one basket!! Etc.).
A lot have people have stuck up for Fry and his mickey mouse company. But personally having experienced Begbies Traynor at first hand (as they dealt with a company I used to work for going into administration), It wouldn’t surprise me if he had deliberately dragged his heels on the deal. I know for a fact that when in administration even admin staff are charged at over £100 pound per hour, Fry must be getting charged at least £250 per hour (which is guaranteed, even from donators money). It begs (pardon the pun) the question, would you drag the sale out if you were being paid that extortionate rate?
Apologies for the negative post, but I have experience of “Blagbies Trailing” at first hand, and my impression was they didn’t know there arse from their elbow, yet they still walk away with around £20k, to wind up a £7 million turnover company in one week!!
COYR!!
