Title: Bob Holt says..... Post by: adje on Tuesday, October 23, 2007, 11:58:07 "These new investors are people that we were in talks with earlier in the year but we were not going to be able to do anything until later in the year,which is now.This is a more realistic opportunity for us from people who are very successful"
Makes me wonder why they bothered with Best at all if they knew an opportunity with someone better was going to be available at a not too later stage. Title: Bob Holt says..... Post by: Sippo on Tuesday, October 23, 2007, 12:00:31 BESt offered more money i beleive...

I'm sure it was saide BEST were the preferred 'partners' because as well as offering more money they were 'football people that had the best interests of the club at heart'. Seem 'I can't beleive it's not betfair' (new investors) were painted as plan B. Whether or not that is true or the story that best fitted the scenario remains to be seen. Of course, just after the BEST deal was declared off Holt claimed the door was still open to them (even though it now seems firmly shut). Kind of backs up the theory that this is not the deal the board preferred. Title: Bob Holt says.....

Sturrock might have talked the board out of BEST. After all, they would have been a disaster for us. Title: Bob Holt says..... Post by: horlock07 on Wednesday, October 24, 2007, 11:31:01 Bob Holt says.... Relax
