Adam Pearson Consortium

They didn't make a bid, which indicates that the problem was getting the right investors on board from their end rather than a Short issue.

Basically a lot of deals work best with a 'lead' investor who has a substantial proportion (50%+) of the money involved. I can imagine this was a tough sell.

I'm assuming this other (foreign) group you talk of is a different consortium to both the local one and this Pearson led one?

Were f***ing stuck with Short it seems. The club "books" must be an absolute f***ing mess. Apparently the same reason the people who ended up at Barnsley ran a mile.

This. For the amount of interest we've supposedly had in buying the club, the fact none of these deals ever seem to get particularly close suggests we're all over the place. Worrying times for what this relegation could mean if we can't find a buyer.

Hull FC owner Adam Pearson had been linked with possible #SAFC takeover. @James_Smailes of @hulldailymail reporting consortium no longer involved in talks. Pearson was asked to be involved at a v.late stage, before plans for bid were ended. No plans to go back in at this stage.

:rolleyes: this adds weight to the notion this story was leaked before the season ticket deadline.

Yep. I had zero knowledge of the Pearson consortium. Unless something has changed in the last 12 hours, the other bidder is still confident.

Everything is always a little further away than people let on in my experience (non-football) but from their side, there's optimism.

I don't get it
  • They both took over PL clubs
  • They both relegated said PL clubs to League One, clubs that shouldn't really be there
  • None of them 'care' and none of them turn up
  • Neither of them currently spend bugger all on transfer funds, even when needed on the pitch
  • If anything, the Venky's have probably got Blackburn's financial situation more stable than Short has ours
Sometime I think the only difference between Short and the Venky's is the colour of their skin.

Now I’m not having that mind I find that insulting
