It's a bit like Dutch Division 2 I believe.....now, what managers do we know of who have experience of that....?

Sorry, one more query...so, in other words, if the 10 point penalty sticks then they would be inclined to plough more money in to overcome the handicap? (as opposed to extending the 'plan' beyond five years). Apologies if that's a bit of an obvious question!

Cheers Duncan. Any idea what the latest chances are of the Council buying the stadium and thus the viability of the Canadian interest?

Indeed. And, yet, if a group of "travellers" pitched up on the SMS car park the council would take years to remove them....

Yep. 2 years, 1 week, 4 days, 6 hours and 37 minutes to be precise.

Yes

Is he a Life Long Cherry fan?

Per week?

We don't complain when they (allegedly) uplift info from here....(well, actually, we do complain but that's not the point. Or, on second thoughts, perhaps it is indeed the point.) More waffle than Birds Eye Mr Trousers

Can't buy the Echo here.....do you have a scanner per chance?

Weston said Marc Jackson wasn't involved either....

Or perhaps the Iranian Tchenguiz brothers of Rotch Property Group?

Yes, I think it's fair too. I would agree that it's slightly twisted logic to suggest that someone's past behaviour shouldn't be taken into account when forming an opinion on what they may or may not do in the future.

He's a salesman...that is his job....people that knock on my door trying to sell me tarmac are very pleasant and convincing too. Doesn't mean that I'm going to get decent tarmac. I've never doubted that Marc Jackson's heart isn't in the right place but the warning signs are as bright as his personality. IMHO of course

No worries. Understand. Cheers

Good evening Forester. Cheers for the above insight. Are these chaps you mentioned previously still 'in the hunt'? Thanks.

May the 4th be with you? (yes, that rustling noise is indeed the sound of me reaching for my overcoat...)

Cheers for that. Didn't appreciated the difference Ye olde 'holding company' tactic eh? Now where have we seen that tried before....

No, not specifically. Just clutching at straws for once....If the above rumours about Maple Leaf Sports are true then it wouldn't be an unreasonable assumption. He's Dan Jones, Head of Deloitte's soccer consultancy division. Maple Leaf Sports were a client of his when they visited St Mary's this time last year. http://www.thestar.com/printArticle/417801

Anyone seen this chap at SMS recently?

One year ago.... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-563392/Canadian-conglomerate-eyeing-Reading-Sheffield-Wednesday-Southampton.html

Indeed. So why would WH Ireland single out just one insolvancy firm?
