St. Sid Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billyg Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share 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 ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidg Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share 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.

Guest somner9 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Supposed to be an Ex-pat Scot based in America.

St. Sid Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTOF Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share 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..................................

Guest somner9 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share 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?' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud the Baker Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share 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! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
