Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

Agreed. Our side desperately needs some experienced players to complement and guide the kids coming through.

Not to mention 10 points to catch up!

Doubt we could sing that in the family section.

Depends whether it's Matt, Luke or Jeremy?

How about singing: "Markus Liebherr, has saved our club, Markus Liebherr, has saved our club" to the tune of Tom Hark by the Piranhas? Or too many negative connotations with the Redknapp reign?

Anyone else find it amusing that, even though news agencies are now broadcasting the news, the OS is still carrying a headline saying: 'Waiting for news? Tired of pressing F5 on your computer?' seemingly obliviously?!

Get In!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I ever meet you Marcus then, even though I'm a comparative pauper, the first drink is on me! Brilliant, fantastic, superb news. NB - note to Marcus: please feel free to spend like a loony on the team, always.

Knowing our luck: PAYMENT BEING BOUNCED NOW!!!

Optimism overload...!!!!!

Must be the 'conferencing hour' in the world of football.

Used to go around with his hand stuck up a green duck's arse.

Comments on the Daily Echo site are speculating that the deal has been done and a press release is being prepared. Hopefully, SSN are going to say something to this effect...

Someone is probably paying him an even bigger fortune to buy us now?

I've just spell checked your post and it would appear that you've misspelled this word...

Please tell me the message came from someone called Fry or Leibherr...!

As long as it's "the Administrator to Southampton Football Club is pleased to announce the sale of the club to the Leibherr Group" and not "Mark Fry is confident the deal will be sealed in the next 48 hours".

I'd imagine that if the deal has been signed this morning, and an announcement is not made until this afternoon, then I doubt whether there would be a PC today anyway. Way too rushed! Hopefully Diggers' rumour of an announcement this afternoon will prove to be true and a PC can follow whenever it likes, once the ink is dry on the paper!!!

I swore blind I wouldn't be checking this regularly today and then the Echo produces an article like this. F5, F5, F5...

aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

The 4-2 win over Newcastle when Kachloul got a couple. Fantastic game - we were one down at half time, if I remember correctly, and then came out 2nd half and scored four before the Toon nicked one back. It's particularly memorable, for me, for Stuart Ripley setting one up for Hassan and then running back to continue an argument he was having with a fella on the halfway line, while the rest of the team were celebrating!!

Would be fantastic, if so, but I thought he had a medical with West Ham on Tuesday? My wildly optimistic nature is hoping that a deal (with the Swiss?) could be close if Kelvin is even contemplating the possibility of turning down a move to a Prem side for us!!!

Agreed. The bloke has conducted himself with real dignity in quite uncertain and trying times and this at least gives the club some semblance of stability. He could (& probably should!) have walked away, especially with all the (as it turned out) presumptuous announcements from Pinnacle that they had an English manager lined up, but he didn't and that at least shows a bit of loyalty that many associated with the club have lacked in recent years.

Yes, they'll do. Now we've decided who our new owners will be, there's no excuse for not getting the deal done Mr Fry.
