Not sure that this is THE St David - yet!

Being generally a "glass half full" kind of person, I am prepared to place more reliance on the stuff that is coming from Pinnacle/TL/Farmer/Doggface/Echo than stories eminating from some strange website that people know very little about. The ITK`s are TL and Farmer. They assure us that all is going to plan and that such stories are BS. You make up your own mind.

No. The e-mails came from different people amongst all the other "frivolous" ones.

For all I know it may be. Do you know for a fact that it is incorrect?

No agenda here, but a curious bit of trivia - if true. Who is the odd man out in this list - and more importantly, why ? Lord Stevenson: Former chairman, HBOS. Andy Hornby: Former chief executive, HBOS. Sir Fred Goodwin: Former chief executive, RBS. Sir Tom McKillop: Former chairman, RBS. John McFall MP: Chairman of Treasury select committee. Alistair Darling: Chancellor of the Exchequer. Gordon Brown: Prime Minister and former Chancellor. Sir Terry Wogan: Presenter of Radio 2's 'Breakfast Show'. You're probably thinking .. "Terry Wogan" You're right. However, the actual reason might surprise you ................... Terry Wogan is the only one out of this motley crew who actually holds any formal banking qualification !!

No. It makes you TIK.

TBF people like Tony Lynham can`t win. People are desperate for info. TL was (if I remember correctly) asked to post an update on here and did so. He also posted again in the wake of the Ted Rogers "affair" to reassure everyone that things were progressing well. I am not aware of any other postings from him unless they were so subtle that I missed them. "Damned if you do - damned if you don`t!"

From todays Daily Mail:- Saints like Swiss timing Southampton have another option if the Pinnacle Group consortium, who have paid £500,000 to the administrators for an exclusive negotiating period, fail to complete the deal. A bluechip Swiss pharmaceutical company are also keen on buying the League One club — once described as Chelsea-on-Sea by the late Stamford Bridge benefactor Matthew Harding — and would have put down a deposit if property consultants Pinnacle hadn’t beaten them to it. Doubts remain about Pinnacle’s resources but consortium leader Tony Lynam says they have 10 times the necessary money while administrator Mark Fry says Pinnacle have satisfied his checks.

Well if it`s of any significance, I am just going to have one.

Probably.

Is this a Yes or a No then?

Don`t know how accurate this is, but this was sent to me today:- This is unbelievable, but true! Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 600 employees and has the following employee statistics . 29 have been accused of spouse abuse 7 have been arrested for fraud 9 have been accused of writing bad cheques 17 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses 3 have done time for assault 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges 8 have been arrested for shoplifting 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits 84 have been arrested for drink driving in the last year Which organisation is this ? It's the 635 members of the House of Commons, the same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us inline. What a bunch of b*****ds we have running our country - it says it all. And just to top all that they probably have the best 'corporate' pension scheme in the country!!

I think probably that both things were connected.

Agreed.

Does anything?

Aha! I plead ignorance!

I seem to remember that Charlie George was never fit during the time that he was with us. I think that he was injured when he signed and never really get over it, so we never really saw the best of him. Also, didn`t Gerry Gurr have a very promising career finished by injury?

Whoooooooosh?

Bloody Hell! A literary reference from a skate!

It was on the Sports Bulletin at 7.20am. TBF I think that to the vast majority of posters on this thread are reasonably happy to have Crouch on the Board. There are only a small handful of people that obviously have a real problem with him.

Bombay Dreams?

I bet they don`t discuss grammar on their forum!!

Mark Kermode was very scathing about it and the good doctor is seldom wrong!

If you haven`t heard it try "Live at The Massey Hall" . Solo live recording from early 70`s released last year. Excellent.

TBF the original report on Solent said a place on the board. No indication of him being Chairman.
