@Pompeys12thMan: Following on from the Fans Conference meeting yesterday, a couple of points about the community bid & where it currently stands.. @Pompeys12thMan: Point 1. Regardless of outcome of next weeks court date, PST still looking at a completion date in early March. @Pompeys12thMan: Point 2. HNW's already put money into club to help running costs. This isn't a loan & won't be repaid but will be converted into equity.. @Pompeys12thMan: Point 3. If takeover doesn't happen HNW's lose this money (6 figure sums in many cases) That's how confident they are in the bid.. @Pompeys12thMan: Point 4. Money to purchase is in place. Call for fans to keep investing is to provide additional funds & show HNW's fans believe in bid too. @Pompeys12thMan: Point 5. PST unable to provide full details due to restrictions placed by PKF until court case over land purchase completed. @Pompeys12thMan: Point 6. Fans money is secure in solicitors escrow account. It will not be used to pay Chainrai, court costs or other fees. It's protected. @Pompeys12thMan: Point 7 (updated) If bid fails, maximum fans will lose is 2.5% of the amount returned subject to a maximum charge of £25... @Pompeys12thMan: Point 8. Council loan remains in place should it be required. It's being offered, with conditions, at extremely preferable rates to PST. @Pompeys12thMan: Point 9. Lots of clubs watching & willing this to happen. PST believe, HNW's believe. Pompey fans believe it too, it's going to happen!

@NeilAllenPN: .@OdemwingieP Fancy signing for #Pompey? We have 200,000 regular fans & generate £30m pa for the local economy. Wages won't be a problem.

@justinallen1976: @Zoggers87 There is also a Q&A which is in the paper only with him. He had a presence for sure. I also found he has a wicked sense of humour @justinallen1976: @Zoggers87 all in all a very impressive character. Players like him too. I could see that. @justinallen1976: @Zoggers87 There was an energy about him. That is what struck me.

Here's the Sun interview... @justinallen1976: #SaintsFC boss Mauricio Pochettino speaks exclusively to @TheSunNewspaper and @justinallen1976 in Barcelona. http://t.co/t8uxZRZH @justinallen1976: @SouthamptonFC fans can be assured Mauricio Pochettino is clever with much charisma and a great contacts book. I left Barcelona impressed.

Sounds like it's just a general write up of the trip rather than a specific one-to-one interview with someone then. Should still be a good read though.

Yep...

P.S. ITV's coverage is as second rate as ever

Posted at same time as your post above. I thought is was as much to do with Fulham standing off them if anything. Hopefully we'll press them more than that.

Dear Southampton FC, Please don't give Man Utd as much space as Fulham FC did today. Much obliged, Trousers

Yep, looking back, he got a slating for that too. Seems to be a self congratulating egotist...hmmm....maybe he should have interviewed Cortese....

@ArsenesArmy: Got to feel sorry for @wayneveysey. Invents an exclusive last night, tries to back track on it this morning and even got that wrong. #Oops @Arseholic: Mr @wayneveysey Gets everything wrong its not even funny.. He even attempted to make up a starting XI, guess what? It was wrong again @TheCorporal25: That Wayne Veysey is a fail. Said Jack would be captain: wrong. Then said Rosicky would be captain: wrong. Oh, and got the team wrong too. @BeltransMole23: Shame about everything else, mate. RT @wayneveysey Southampton have confirmed they have SACKED Nigel Adkins#Goal.com #FIRST #CORRECT @BeltransMole23: Whoops! RT @wayneveysey EXCLUSIVE: Arteta gives Arsenal boost as he prepares to return this week #AFC http://t.co/OFMAN9Ge … @SMBalmuthEsq: Further examples of inaccurate reporting by @wayneveysey http://t.co/tZ6DEfj7 http://t.co/Y4cAhTjU @OsmanZtheGooner: Wayne Veysey keeps gettings Arsenal stuff wrong. But he never cares lol

A quick internet search indicates the author of that piece (Wayne Veysey) appears to have connections with Arsenal (reports on most of their games)....make of that what you will...

Yep, agree with that.

@kristemple: @SimonPeach giving SSN & Sun their Cortese interview follows locals having interviews cut short by @southamptonfc #newpolicy #duckanddive

@SimonPeach: Seems Sky Sports News & The Sun have interviews with Cortese. Funny how he is talking with people without a proper knowledge of #SaintsFC

Cheers (DPS? Mike Dunn?)

@solentsport: #Pompey midfielder Darel Russell: "Perhaps it may be my last game on Tuesday. A lot of promises were made that haven't materialised." Lol....yet another footballer who doesn't have access to the Internet and google search engine....
