chico Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 Oh no. Some mad Yankee asset stripper will buy Saints over and close us down! aye right. Quote
St. Sid Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 Your win-win scenario doesn't cover the most likely scenario, this story was made up by a London or Manchester based "journalist" who has never seen Scottish football at all. When did the Daily Mail last break and exclusive on Scottish football? To be fair to the Daily Mail they have run a few stories on the multi-failure takeover attempt by 10000 hrs, so they do have some interest in what is going on. It could be the selling consortium / 10000 hrs are trying to put us off the trail by not using their traditional press flunkies at the PDE, the BBC, and GMac in The Herald. I'm happy to keep an open mind on this though - unlike the CIC-cheerleaders who are already on the defensive. Quote
Guest somner9 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 Oh no. Some mad Yankee asset stripper will buy Saints over and close us down! aye right. I heard they had plans to sell-off Aaron Mooy's bike to Scottish power? Quote
billyg Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 That will be the end of 10,000 hours then. Heard an ex pro footballer is involved and they are all football men, which is good. We won't be some rich American guys toy for a few years. John Spencer ? Quote
davidg Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 I believe this bid is the real deal Sid and 10,000 hours takeover won't happen now. Quote
Guest somner9 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 I believe this bid is the real deal Sid and 10,000 hours takeover won't happen now. Cue stampede to shred DD mandates with banks! Quote
St. Sid Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 I believe this bid is the real deal Sid and 10,000 hours takeover won't happen now. Interesting davidg.....with your close links to GLS you'll have the conspiracy theorists in overdrive. Quote
davidg Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) Cue stampede to shred DD mandates with banks! I won't be cancelling mine just in case and nobuddie else should. There's been other interest before and that was no reason to cancel. If an official statement was released saying the club won't be sold to 10,000 hours I would cancel.

pod Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 Supposed to be an Ex-pat Scot based in America. Quote
Guest somner9 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 Supposed to be an Ex-pat Scot based in America. A-ha so we unravel a bit of the mystery surrounding the Unamed American! he used to be called 'Pat' and he is scottish! Quote
St. Sid Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 I won't be cancelling mine just in case. I If it is real we should look at switching the dd mandates to SMiSA and that way there will be a pot being built up just in case it is a bawls up. That was my thinking in relation to the 10000 hrs madness too. The 52% shareholding is the big threat here and a switch to traditional takeover doesn't make it any less dangerous. If SMiSA have a decent number of members then the new owners would be daft not to try and tap into that. Quote
slapamythighs Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 Is it a " mickey mouse " rumour!? read the article,,it wasnt mr m mouse,,it may have been a mr d duck,,i asked him about it,he said it was a definite maybe he would buy,,,but walt disney Quote
FTOF Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) I believe this bid is the real deal Sid and 10,000 hours takeover won't happen now. I hope it is for real David. I just want this whole sorry saga over and done with. So 10,000 hours won't happen? C'est la vie.We move on, and being a Paisley man,the bonus is that it means I won't be shelling out on a direct debit every month. Once any details are released, and I expect to kept informed of every financial detail concerning the bid , I'll make my mind up whether it's good for the club or not. Fingers crossed. P.S.Rest assured if it's not for me, I won't be boring you all to death with endless hot air fuelled rants, just because I've spat the dummy. However,I reserve the right to bore you with respect to other matters.................................. Edited July 25, 2012 by FTOF Quote

Why......it sounds like the unnamed american is using his own finances - f"k all to do with you. Quote
Guest somner9 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 will 10000 hours take the news of their demise with dignity and integrity intact? Or will they sight the underhand methods used by the US big shots in securing the deal as the reason they lost out? ReA explains in an exclusive interview 'The yanks really caught us on the blind-side! going in and making an offer they could deliver, just like that, tchhh who knew?' Quote
St. Sid Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 Just for fun....the American will be unlikely to want to be the Chairman....what if he puts KMG into his dream job. Quote
Guest somner9 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 Just seen on the Financial times website "Big Issue price rise, on back of overpriced loan going down the Gary Glitter" Quote
billyg Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 Just for fun....the American will be unlikely to want to be the Chairman....what if he puts KMG into his dream job. Maybe a current board member will stay on as chairman , who knows ? Quote

Bud the Baker Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 So 2 years and 10 months after the consortium's shareholding was put up for sale a rich American wants to buy it, not for the original asking price of £2M but for the £1.5 agreed with the CIC in May. Well if it's genuine then good luck to the BoD - send us a postcard from wherever it is you retire to. Take me to America GI! Quote
Guest somner9 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 The only one of the Mag 7 that is still alive is Robert Vaughn.....never know. Think you can pose a question for 10000 hours to answer? "Are you f**ked?" Quote
