Knowing our luck it will be Daniel Ratcliffe and the Hogwarts company behind us.

It won't be Jackson. It will be someone credible who will bin him off as soon as the deal is done, just like B'mouth.

I think he means 'exchange'.... Completion means you are sat with your feet on the sofa drinking your cup of tea.

Doubt it, Mondays and Fridays only.

I have heard the Swiss are neutral about bidding again.

The company structure was setup long before the FL rules came into effect. Leon Crouch (who post-dates the company structure) currently has no official capacity at the club, and nor did he at the time of formation so wtf is he on about?

The issue appears to be league membership, not the points deduction. Oh bummer.

If SLH is wound up it cannot exit via a CVA, thus putting the league into a whirlwind of contradiction!

Would they be subject to a points penalty?

Given that the 'Golden Share' is owned by Southampton FC Ltd, and Pinnacle are buying Southampton FC Ltd - not sure why the **** they would have to transfer it! I'd imagine it was never transferred to SLH after the reverse takeover so why tranfer it? Clearly we have (through luck not judgement) got a decent out on this.

The letter of the law probably is that we were not due to 10 point penalty, the spirit says we are. If it was another team we'd be screwing about it. Take the 10, just means we need to be 11 points clear to win league this year.

I am going for: Ratcliffe with the money Keegan in the boardroom Shearer on the touchline

I don't disagree with any of your points. My reference to the other two is that the general fanbase will be suitably underwhelmed by the appointment that the vast majority would never of heard of. A few bad results and he will be getting the Portaloo treatment.

For Tisdale read Wigley or Gray IMHO.

Based on your previous prediction I'll hold my breath thanks. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?p=311372#post311372

I think now the story has gone national the top sports hacks will be turning up a lot of stones to sell their papers tomorrow.

Perhaps our new owner is so rich we will be pumping millions into the the British economy and MK needs to oversee.

+1 Maybe one of those nice mods could do a poll with the following, just in case those nice chaps at Pinnacle are browsing. Keegan Ince Strachan Shearer Tisdale Dowie Wotte A N Other

Honest question, would you like the takeover to happen?

Leave it open with a quid in it, it will cost them more money to administer it each year.

Do I think Keegan is the best manager, logical choice, most stable or pragmatic choice for manager - No Would I love to see him appointed - OMG Yes. 10k on the gates, 110% on the field and Saints in the spotlight. We are a great club and for too long have been looking down instead of up. Ask yourself would Surman, McG and Lallana stick a season in Div 3 to work with him, I think so. The guy loves football, watch how he entered the stadium at St James' when he went back. No fanfare, he took his seat and looked a little embarassed by the whole hype which indicates he is a very private man. I agree with others that it is unlikely he will join us, I would also be surprised if he would take a job as I am not 100% what implication that might have on his tribunal against Newcastle. Anyway this Saints fan grew up when Kevin Keegan was as famous as Beckham and was one of the reasons I support the team I do now. So if it is okay, I am dreaming of this happening.

I spoke to Paul Allen today and he assures me Kev will sign.

Let the employee choose, that way he will feel 'bought in' to you.

I would imagine that all the ITK's will receive the secret code via text message. They will all meet at the given meeting point (the fabled Jackson's Farm) where a lightly chilled Chablis will await them. They will then rejoice in stories of how the wife of their brother in law was in a taxi the other day with someone who once met MLT to produce their FACTS. Following agreement a new band of Terrific ITK Using Non-standard TechniqueS (TIT****S) will be appointed, and toasted with Cigars and Brandy. Unfortunately for the Tit****s the previous land owner (Lord Lowe of ****-up) bestowed on himself all hunting rights to the said farm and has sent his men on a duck hunt. Either that or a press conference IMHO.

That will teach me for choosing the country air.
