Swiss pharmaceutical company Nycomed is owned by several financial institutions.... http://www.nycomed.com/en/Menu/About+us/Ownership/

Time will tell

Looking at that Wiki page of leading pharmaceutical companies, one of the Swiss companies (Nycomed) is privately owned, the biggest 'shareholder' being Nordic Capital (who just happen to be head-officed in Jersey). Nordic Capital have investments in many diverse companies.

The next rumour or the actual takeover?

Done 27%

Just to add a little intrigue and conspiracy theorising....the above Daily Mail piece was in the Charles Sale column.....who is supposedly a media outlet for you know who....baton down the hatches?

My money is still on Micky Mouse (sic)....

What happened to the Iranians?

Ah, ok... "Todays echo - 09/06/09" so..."they" as in "the Daily Echo" rather than "they" as in the players? I'll wake up in a minute

You didn't hear that he was back in town two weeks ago then....?

Orange = man at football club all season as part of integrated management team looking after all footballing affairs in a seamless structure and is at helm when said football club is relegated Apple = man at football club for 5 minutes before taking charge of first game with no previous insight into club structure and is at helm when said football club stays up

Shouldn't we be getting prem and CCC clubs coming to us for pre-season friendlies now that we're a club in the lower divisions? That's the way it usually works, isn't it?

Psychotherapy?

Or a nice chilled Rémy Martin, of course

Frighteningly accurate!

The Echo have started printing stories about super-yachts docked in Southampton. And people think I'm sad....(no, really, they do)
