don`t read it then!

But this was today. As I said in the OP I have been quite upbeat and even excited and optimistic myself but it was just something about the content of todays message that knocked that a bit. After all it has now gone from hoping to announce something before the Forest game to a possible bid in 5-10 days (what happened to us going out of business in 8?) and it could drag on. I hope that it was just my early morning interpretation of things and that all of the big names that are being bandied around can produce a really good buyer for us.

Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere but:- Listening to Radio Solent this morning, it was stated that the administrator hoped to have a bid on the table in the next 5 - 10 days with any possible take-over happening in about a month. Mark Fry also made a big deal out of the fact that because we were relegated it made our value a lot less. I have been fairly upbeat about this take-over malarky but (and it may be just me) this mornings utterances from Fry seemed distinctly down beat.

I think that if you took 10 points from the current top 3 in L1, they would still be in play-off positions.

Why thank you Mr Avenue! Yes I do remember Swaythling Athletic. Perhaps we should go to an Eastliegh game (easy for me-just along the road) and chant "Are you Swaythling in Disguise?" from our bath chairs.

Terry Toolbag?

Rupert Lowe to introduce exciting Dutch Total Football to revolutionise the CCC.

Possibly but I can`t imagine Swaythling v Saints on Daisy Dip just yet!

Only if we show the white spirit!

Eastleigh! Although I think that they may be on the map.

I am getting quite excited about the Johnsons Paint Trophy! Another chance to get to Wembley.

I think that it was John Lennon who said this in an interview.

Same as MLT then!

OH NO! I didn`t get that wrong did I??:shock:

I`m sure that he would get us back in the Prem. O.K., it may be by going through Poland first, but he would get us there.

Is this a cryptic clue (like "Trawlers and Seagulls)?? Bugger, my head is spinning now - but not in "The Excorsist" sense.

Bingo! Add him to the list! Loved him singing "Trouble over Bridgewater" Paul Simon must be worth a bit too.

Shut up you spoil-sport! This is fun! Brings back the golden days of LLS, Barry the Briefcase, St David, PA, HMR etc. BTW are you American (favor = favour)? Then you must be part of a consortium buying Saints! An American...called Art....over to you Trousers PI (and his assistant Mr Google).

Or Micheal Crawford.

I assume this is the Mike Leigh play with Alison Steadman. I have watched this many times. Makes me laugh every time. It is brilliant.

A beautiful British name!

Well she is "a household name"!

Had a bit of inside info that it might be Ben Steele and Quintin Hubbard from Guernsey;)

Not much new, but Echo reporting deal close. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4324510.Saints_buyout_close_but_not_sealed_yet/
