Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

Home to Oldham

They probably wouldn't take the 10 points off such a big club stating it was because the owners, and not the club, who were in administration. Oh...

Dear Mr Davies. Please ignore any of the derogatory comments about Dave "better than Le Tiss" McGoldrick on this thread and on the forum in general. He's absolutely fantastic and just the man to fire you to the Prem. I can't believe how much of a steal you're getting for the measly £1million you're offering us. By the way, we take cash, cheques, direct debit, PayPal, banker's draft, postal orders, stamps and/or premium bonds. Don't hang around, you wouldn't want to miss out.

We are Southampton Football Club, no need for any alterations thank you! And there's no way we'll ever be United...

My cynical mind wonders whether Pinnacle's client (& our future benefactor) sees this as £400k of the £500k downpayment recouped!

http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=12442 I started a similar thread in April. Looking back, it's a prediction which is (now!) likely to come true.

Maybe we pinched his buyer. I hope so now.

Can't be talking about us. Don't recall our CLUB going into administration...

Overseas bidders - permission to hurry up and buy the club, granted!

Having re-read the article in non-panic mode, yes I can see what you're saying, as it does appear the Beeb have put a nasty spin on what was said. In the first instance they're intimating it's all over but the end they're talking of other prospective bidders. Nonetheless, I have a feeling that this isn't just squeaky bum time but a full-on toilet assault!

Indeed

Rupert Lowe ate club hamster

B*llocks indeed. It's such a surreal feeling donating money to pay those who are paid more in a month or 2 than I am in a year. I tell myself it's to save the club but in reality it's to subsidise those whose lack of pride and footballing inadequacy places us in League 1 next year.

Talks continue... Fry: Ok chaps, 9 mill for the club, stadium, train picture & everything else. Pinnacle: how about 8 mill? Fry: the creditors say 9 Pinnacle: come on, 8? Fry: 9 Pinnacle: 8 Fry: 9 Pinnacle: 8 Fry: 9 Pinnacle: 8 several hours later... Fry: 9 Pinnacle: 8 Fry: 9 Pinnacle: 8 end of day... Fry: 9 Pinnacle: 8 Fry: 9... oh, is that the time? Gotta be off now, good days work there chaps. Same time tomorrow...?

And being a natural right-back, it would allow James (if still here) to move into his more natural midfield position. Now, if we could just sort out the takeover thing, we can get cracking - now there's good chaps...

Is that a measure of confidence in your source or because further delay would tip you over the edge?!

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...
