Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

Ah, ok. I hope your source/friend is correct!

Seriously?

Is this from a source/friend, club texts or football texts from ITV/Clubcall/phone network? I need hope dammit!

Fingers crossed it will be because he's been summoned to SMS for smiley photos as the prospective new chairman of SFC. And not in a desperate bid to help resurrect a failing bid (as the other rumour(s) floating around seem to hint). I logged in, in the vain hope of some great Friday news, just for once, but I fear we're on the brink of either another disappointment or worse, news that talks have not proved successful.

Cheers for the info WS. I'm sure, short of a mega billionaire with a fixation on buying world class players taking us over, this will be for the best.

Definitely one to hold on to, if finances allow. Think he'll be an integral part of our midfield next year (if we make it that far!).

If we're on life support, does this mean we can go back to 1982, Ashes to Ashes style, and revisit the joys of Keegan, Moran, Williams, Armstrong, Ball, Holmes et al?

2 o'clock is the end of our lunchbreak and therefore our own internet usage time! Do I risk a further 10 minutes (& showing up on a report) in case of salvation or do I wait until the end of the working day??? Such dilemmas...

I'm sure I read somewhere that Fry (or it might even have been Wotte) said that 2 parties dropped out once we'd been relegated. With affection like that for the club, it's probably a good thing they did...

I was thinking the same but, I guess, if the administrator is aware of another imminent bid, he has a duty to the creditors to see what that has to offer before accepting the first bid, acceptable or otherwise. I guess it all boils down to who is offering the most pounds, shillings and pence.

Yootube please. I can't make the game on Sunday.

Would be great news if true (the buyout not the Surman deal); it will be interesting to see what money they're bringing to the table, if they're willing to let Surman go for a fairly low sum.

Just like that guy Spencer someone who tried to buy Aldershot. AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM!!!

Nothing on the Sky Sports website yet. Anything further on SSN?

Found this article on Strode-Gibbons dating back to August 2008. Thank goodness he never really managed to formulate a bid or we could've gone bust too! Oh... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/banksandfinance/2794539/Credit-crisis-one-year-on-How-sub-prime-put-a-stop-to-Go-Business.html

Can't find them on the Times rich list, so they won't do. Cross them off Mark and concentrate on the (hopefully) fabulously rich household name person/consortium!

Club survival permitting, obviously! http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4324509.Kelvin__I_hope_I_can_stay/ Would be a tremendous boost if he did stay, given his form this season.

Only an idiot would buy a football club and then mess up the opportunity to unite a fanbase, by making the club debt-free, and then employ (or encourage the involvement of) the most divisive figure in the club's history.

So we'd go from being one of the poorest clubs in the world to one of the richest (the Ambani's are 5th & 6th richest men in the world). I'm liking that dream...

The OS says Gillett is back in training although it might be a bit too soon to throw him back in. Probably a better option than Wotton, though, if he really is fit again.

Just had a thought! A wealthy Brit to buy Saints? Maybe they mean Britney Spears???

The former footballer's consortium, would that be Rufus Brevett & Southampton Football Company Ltd by any chance?

Today, I dropped my favourite Saints mug on the floor but it did not break. In these desperate times, I've taken that as a sign that we will go down but we will not go bust.

You're not fit to wear the shirt!

Wotte solves problem of mouth speaking before brain engages after "World Class Smith" gaffe.
