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?

"I am aware of some very unhelpful rumours and questions about Mr Fialka and his colleagues" There's a very simple solution to quash such rumours....

Erm....might have something to do with the fact we don't know who 'they' are? Lack of transparency = rumours IMHO of course

How much have Begbies been paid thus far?

I suspect Fry will want/need to insist on an accelerated 2nd exclusivity period if Pinnacle get usurped. How fast? Who knows...

My understanding too

Any idea how much higher?

We're being taken over by an amoeba?
