buddiecat Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) Funny how these rumours always start with "a journalist called me to ask my thoughts".... You Would think the journalist would be better advised calling the club? No the journalist actually got an answer - No, he would not even have got an answer from the board. Having said that, wake me up when there is actually a deal on the table and it has been made public by a board member, then i might listen.

pod Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Yeah maybe the buyers are connected to them , in a consortium type of way? I know I'm clutching at straws here! Would be nice to get this over once and for all but only if the buyers have the clubs best interests at heart. Maybe I, maybe naw. But if there was a buy out and it all went pear shape, the present board would get the blame anyway. It's the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pod Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 English with Scottish connections? Rod(Celt*c) Stewart and Matt Elliot. No way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northendsaint Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I really should know better in this section of the board in particular but I'll post this anyway. I got a call a few mins ago from someone in the media asking me if I had heard anything about the proposed sale of the club. I said no. They told me there was very good information suggesting that English buyer(s) with "strong Scottish connections" had agreed a deal to buy the majority shareholding. I'm taking this all with a large pinch of salt as I've never had any information from this source before but I'll leave this here anyway in case anyone else has heard similar ? Better be concluded before Saturday as the boys on my bus are ready to slaughter me for telling them the club was in the midst of finally being sold.I firmly believe the club will be sold very soon and that we will have another player in this week.

div Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Couple of posters I trust here in this thread suggesting there could be something in this. Interesting. Hopefully it is close. I do feel the club needs new direction in the boardroom and if it isn't to be SMiSA then we'll just need to hope any prospective new owners are good guys who can help get us moving forward again.

stevie-dee Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 The guy that won billions on the american lottery is interested. A Reliable source who I met at the Braehead Road Roundabout Bus Stop told me that his Granny was a Buddy and was at the 59 cup final and always told him stories when he was a lad about how special Paisley is.

TsuMirren Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Hmm, Board sticking out duff info possibly to gee up SMiSA? If they'd ever give a selling figure it'd gee things up faster than any duff info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
div Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 The guy who called me today was a Bill Young who hosts a show on Rock Sport Radio. He called me tonight again and had me on his show, primarily to find out what the chat was on the site about Alex Rae. He mentioned his information on air again related to the sale and that it came from "an impeccable source". Now I don't know the man, only talked to him a couple of times on the phone so I'm not saying he's right or wrong but it's out there now. Think the show is on listen again so will link to it when it's published and you can hear for yourself what he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't trust him unless he shops at Asda. That's the one in Paisley or is it Linwood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevo_smfc Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 If it is the same consortium from last year, waiting a year has probably saved them a few quid on the valuation of the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint since 58 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 If this is true....does it mean we wont bring any more players in,due to potential new owners wanting to bring in their own management team and players?Lets hope if its true that a buyout will be swift and painless.

Lord Pityme Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Given the tenuous nature of the alleged source for this bid in year seven of the selling process.... Anyone getting that Friday feeling again..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
