Conspiracy theorists of the world unite! Actually, it wouldn't surprise me if your theory, Agent Bridge, isn't bang on the money.

Indeed. This has never been satisfactorily answered by anyone IMHO. Why can't the club release a statement if it's a simple case of a law breaking technicality that they can't start selling them on a deferred, but guaranteed, payment basis.

Laverstoke Park, near Basingstoke. http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2008/jan/27/foodanddrink.features10 Perhaps this is the "chap in Basingstoke" that Jonah keeps refering to....the one that sold £450 worth of shares on 31st March to bring the SLH to its knees.... Get behind the "It's Jodie Schekter's Bullocks" takeover rumour....FFS

Monaco's richest Brits The top 10 British tycoons who helped to swell the ranks of Monaco's elite 1 Sir Philip Green/Retail Green made his name as a discount retailer in the 1980s.

Prince Albert anyone?

Time to wheel out Miss Bush....

Escapology or Intensive Care?

"Ha...and still some people on The Saintsweb Forum believe I had nothing to do with the first team whilst Poortvliet was here", chuckled Mark Wotte under his breath.

Perhaps he was dreaming about you dreaming, and had advised you (in his dream) not to eat so much cheese the next time you're in his dreams? Gorganzola?

Unless I'm wildly mistaken, wasn't that a Midge Ure song?

Who's to blame for the demise of Little and Large? The fans who stopped going to see their once superb end of pier entertainment fests or the erstwhile prime time entertainers themselves for drifting into lazy mediocre early Saturday evening post Jim'll Fix It lame output mode? I hope you're all happy with yourselves now. Shame on you. They had so much more to give.

Indeed. Simpler than Simple the simple snail from Simpleshire. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand

Sorry.....'Twas a random choice born out of life long despair at the futility of some debates on here. Warped mind? Yes, quite probably.

Some would argue (not me obviously, for I am an open minded kinda chap) that Lowe being present at the club put off certain potential investors in the past. Or indeed visa versa if you believe some trains of thought on here.... Now that would be a (really deep) root cause....

I suspect Dibden isn't interested in root causes. This thread is more geared at analysing knock-on effects, I believe.
