lee_av Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 As for my comment last night LEE-av...... The Lerner bid speaks to the SA/VFC and shares ideas and now ST releases a statement that seems strangely timed given Padfields comments. Read into what I say how you like I have no need to read into what you say at all - I KNOW, and so do you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 The Muckraker last Sunday. He said he would likely be at VP this week, not specifically Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishful thinking imo I would genuinely be absolutely staggered if they, or anyone else bid. it just isnt going to happen, and the reason it isnt going to happen is that it is extremely rare for someone to make a losing bid in these situations. You bid only when you know you are going to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You bid only when you know you are going to win. I agree, i expect Padfield and Co have notcied the response that Randy has got from the fans, they will realise that it would be very hard, and their bid would have to be very very good to change people's minds. I think Randy was clever in the timing of when he made his bid, its no coincidence that it meets up with the Reading game. Even though i would of prefered it to be earlier, better late than never!

eholm Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Agreed, agreed, agreed....This is not like bidding for a player and hoping that it gets accepted before the transfer window. We are talking a multi-million pound business transaction that will only submitted if it is understood that it will be successful. IMHO the clock has run out.....

The clock may have run out on the AV06 bid - it was always playing catch up. There may still be some twists and turns.

This week could be interesting Well, i think the point I was making about only bidding if you know your bid is the winning one doesnt so much apply to Padfield or Neville or Still, it applies to Lerner. In other words, he bid becasue he knew he was going to win. IMHO this was over the day MON walked into VP. MON is clearly a Lerner man, and I dont think you'd go around appointing managers unless you were 1000% certain of the end result. Everything since then appears to be following legal formalities, its over, and has been for weeks imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANNY_DYER Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 No, I ain't bullshitting just had an email from someone who is close to and been talking to this AV06 consortium. Apparently they are pulling out and letting Lerner go ahead unopposed. It ain't bullshit cos I've just read the e mail from this person myself. Lets hope its 100% spot on and they don't change their mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsonrx Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Either way, I love the Smileys! If it IS true - then thats probably the most sensible thing AV06 have done yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
