Exactly...even more reason for greater transparency and accountability this time around. I knew we'd find common ground eventually. Your go.

"Thursday 1st April with a 7.45pm kick-off." Happy anniversary anyone?

I have my own supply of lady's pants, thank you very much. I'm wearing a rather fetching pair as we speak. Just need somewhere to stick my Toblerone now and we're laughing.

Because he's buying the football club that I help finance, thus, in my opinion I'm entitled to know what his credentials are, financial or otherwise. Other people may have a different opinion. Doesn't make my opinion any less valid.

Hey, stop stealing the conspiracy theories that I've already posted! The one about Pinnacle being a Trojan Horse for the Swiss bid....

Summary? It's been a disaster. HTH

"If towards the end of next week we are in a situation where no bids for the Football Club are forthcoming, I will meet with the Directors of the Football Club to discuss options." How is he going to track down the directors of the Football Club (Tointon and Jones) when they've said and done f*** all the last three months? What the f*** have our current Football Club Directors been doing the last 3 months and how much have they been paid for doing so? (I base this opinionated rant on having not heard or read anything whatsoever from the current Football Club board since 1st April 2009)

Tony Lynam on Fialka: "His own financial affairs, and that of those who surround him are nobodys business but his own." What a load of nonsense...perhaps I should keep my "financial affairs" to myself and not buy any tickets for next season? Of course it's our business. We're going to be the ones feeding 'his' investment next season. One word: patronising FFS

Cheers. Subtle hints will suffice

They should try sitting in the stands for a season!!!! Sorry - last rant on the subject!

FFS...someone show the poor lambs the closing league table from last season. They should be handing back a portion of their wages from last season. Sod being paid for going on holiday last month. Good grief

+1 Bloody hypocrites (if true). Perhaps we could be told which players whimpered the loudest so we can bear that in mind next season?

So, who's behind the Swiss bid then? Or do their money men want anonymity too? Why hasn't one single bidder since 1st April wanted anyone to know who they are? It surely can't be that embarrassing buying Southampton Football Club, can it? So, who are the Swiss? Answers please. Thanks.

Directly or indirectly?

Updated it for you....

Well, that list includes an old SWF 'favourite'.... "Coming in at third place in Britain's wealthiest Jews are Indian-born brothers David and Simon Reuben who made their fortune through property".

Here's a tangential thought of epic conspiracy proportions.... What if Pinnacle are some elaborate smokescreen for the Swiss? In other words, could they be working together with Pinnacle acting as a media decoy? Ok doctor, you can take me away now....

Regardless of how many threads are discussing the same thing, let's be first to respond to another one.

Nope, not the one I'm thinking of....

Without wishing to cast aspersions but that should read "He has told us he has spent 7 figures". Not a judgment, just an observation.

Is that an anagram of the real money man?

The Daily Echo contacted a club official. When told of Fialka’s involvement at Saints, he expressed his shock, saying “What? Micky Fialka?” It's Mickey, not Micky BTW. (true story...it's on the London Maccabi website....)

Very plausible IMHO

Do WH Ireland still have Begbies Traynor on their 'recommended buy' list?

Is there a tenuous connection to a Disney character?
