Is he counting staff pay in that total?

Who's Spencer?

Do you think he'll explain his coded message about the players wanting eggs for breakfast?

Ah...good spot....I do believe that's the sound of Professor Freud slipping over

Why do I just know that the most important news to ever affect this club will come out the minute I head home for work this evening....

Here's hoping that's not a rhetorical question...

Cheers Farmer....any time in the next 30 minutes would be handy - thanks

If people didn't keep pointing out people posting unnecessary comments then we wouldn't have to keep on reading them

Queen Elizabeth

Imudia was released by the club on 6th May 2009.... Anyway, less football talk...back to interviews with prospective new owners driving tractors....

Imudia was a Hockaday 'discovery'...maybe Hockaday is back at the club in some capacity and recalled him from wherever he ended up?

Might be a conflict of interests if Barclays ran a football club given their association with English football (although not directly the Football League, granted). Makes sense in principle though.

Any connection....? Would make a great visitor attraction as part of a new dock side esplanade next to SMS....IMHO http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/4453206.QE2_may_be_coming_back_to_Southampton/ Dubai based QE2 may return to Southampton 5:20pm Tuesday 23rd June 2009 Comments (30) Have your say » Exclusive By Gareth Lewis » MYSTERY surrounds an approach for legendary Southampton liner Queen Elizabeth 2 to make a stunning return to her home city.

Fair point...! Is this the chap...?

Beckham

That was a strange thing for him to say unprompted IMHO....perhaps there's a hidden message he was trying to convey.....well worth a conspiracy theory or two.... Perhaps our mystery money man is big in chickens....?

So, in theory, when Pinnacle submitted their overnight response on the latest FL position back to the FL earlier today, the FL will have replied either: (a) "Thanks for your reply. We will have someone available to look at this next Tuesday. We will keep you posted" or (b) "Thanks for your reply. Our top man was expecting it and is looking through it now and we'll get back to you by 5pm with a decision one way or the other" ?

So, it would be MLT as chairman and Crouch as 'President'...perhaps?

Such a picture did the rounds last time so there's one out there somewhere

No, it was reported that way...on the formal Stock Exchange announcment at the time....it stated categorically that the SLH board appointed the administrators. Yes, Barclays withdrew their support but the actual act of going into administration was an action taken by the SLH board.

Indeed. If, as some are saying, that technically the Football League does not recognise the existence of the current PRE-TAKEOVER 'version' of Southampton Football Club then why have they included SFC in their starting league tables and fixture list for next year? Why does a change of ownership affect the status of the club in the eyes of the Football League?

Apologies for the 'bump' but does anyone have an inkling or insight into the frequency and duration of Pinnacle's meetings with the Football League? I'm not after exact times and places just whether we've got the services of a dedicated FL 'team' or whether they are having to squeeze in chats into the already busy schedules of the FL reps dealing with our case. Thanks

Perhaps they are chasing him?

Cheers - yep, I got the gist of your point...I was just throwing the devil's advocate hat into the ring by asking what would be the 'flaw' in Crouch being back at the helm (under new ownership). That said, it's an old chestnut debate that one so probably best if I didn't disturb the dust on that one!
