trousers

Own up who added the two comments?

What two comments?

i have it on good authority that rupert logs on and whacks himself.

LoL (+ spittle on screen)

OK I still have the old page open pm me your email & I'll send the print screen & saved html file as I have NO idea how to post that (only just found all the extra smileys!):smt043

 

See I TOLD you it was a take-over thread why else would they suddenly remove it!

By jove....I've got it....you're "John"...and you updated the page before posting about it on here.

Nice try Phil...

Or £1 if you can find some entertaining noodlehead to come on here to say they are brokering the deal.

Better hope they're not wearing "Noodle Guard"

Good work, Trousers; You've just saved our club!!

My pleasure

After trying to do business with Arabs today, i can confirm that this will never happen as it is impossible for them to arrange anything.

Indeed. They're particularly rubbish at p|ss ups in breweries

Oh and if anyone would like an essay on why this is as unlikely as Trousers discovering an ear lobe cloning factory, am happy to oblige.

Well, I've kept my side of the bargain....

FYI The comment is tucked away down at the bottom below the can we keep Cork question and above the marketing for their own "forum"

There isn't anything between those two items...anymore.....(?)

I think PayPal's subscriptions are fixed at the amount set when the subscription is created.

 

If we were to change the price (which I'd think is very unlikely given the amount of extra work that it would then entail), we would contact all subscribers and cancel the PayPal subscription (but obviously not the forum one!) so they wouldn't be automatically charged an incorrect amount.

 

Currently there is no mechanism within the forum software to notify users when their subscription is about to expire. However, one of the modifications we'll be adding tonight is that very functionality.

Cheers for the info Steve - appreciated.

Knew I should have thought it through first!

What happens if the subscription fee goes up (or indeed down) next year?

(I'm assuming the cost is subject to fluctuation depending on the amount of investment needed each year to maintain the same level of service?)

Does the PayPal subscription work like a Direct Debit? i.e. does the payee or payer have control of the amount drawn down?

cheers

Nice one SFC...

An even better idea would be to issue multi game 'passes' - i.e. 5 game pass; 10 game pass; 15 game pass...etc...that can be used at anytime during the season and not necessarily for consecutive games - a bit like a Disney theme park pass I guess (not that I'm trying to compare SFC with Mickey Mouse I hasten to add!)

That way, the club gets a bit of cash up front and the punter gets a flexible pass with a few quid discount thrown in for good measure....

The latter, no doubt. He is struggling to keep pace with Chameleon on the hypocrisy front as it is.

Good old Gordon Brine (take everything he says with a pinch of salt. Brine....salt...see what I did there? Nice one Trousers....have a plum)

I can see you sat at your desk, alone... pounding away over an image of Lowe.... back and forth, back and forth...

Am Googling that scenario as we speak. Will be back with a picture shortly.....

So, will Gordon Brown now change his views on "novices" coming into power....or will he maintain his usual level of hypocrisy?

 

Does anyone know where I can get very very big rocket?

Sainsbury's salad range tends to come up bigger than Waitrose's

Fish Finger sandwiches work best with tartar sauce. Fact.

What are you going to do with all of your Firebox vouchers? I must have enough now to buy the company

Sounds like Gasmi had a good game despite lack of match fitness....

I've still got this gut feel that when Gasmi and Schneiderlin start playing together in the first team we'll start seeing some consistency in our performances overall. As I say, not a scientific view, just a hunch.

Regarding your "love" for Mandaric, Nick, I have it on very good authority that had "timings" been different then he would have come in for us - now that would have set the cat amongst the forum pigeons.

stupid post!

Don't be so harsh on yourself

More selective than wrong, I think. Everyone, including Crouch by all accounts, was banking on the Fulthorpe bid. That was the reason for Morph's confidence - and perhaps his over-confidence with a very out-of-character swipe at AC & RL.

 

Who could have guessed that Fulthorpe's bid would lead nowhere? (Answer: most of us, depressingly, after the ludicrous antics of LLS, HMR and the truly odd tommac).

 

As far as I can tell, the only thing that differentiates Fulthorpe from that inglorious trio is that he doesn't appear to suffer from what you might politely call 'anger-management issues'.

More memory invigoration.....

Wasn't the "Salz" consortium separate from the "Fulthorpe" consortium, albeit from the same 'side'? i.e. the former was supposedly waiting in the wings should the latter fail - some sort of gentleman's agreement that one wouldn;t step on the toes of t'other?

So, perhaps the answer to my "What's changed?" question is that the protracted approach of the Fulthorpe consortium has finally collapsed leaving the Salz cavalry free to do what they were planning to do a year ago?

On the Line: Rich Brit has eyes on £40m Saints

Last updated at 22:39 22 December 2007

Southampton are close to agreeing a £40 million takeover and, just for a change, the investor is British.

Sources close to the deal confirm that a London-based businessman, who is one of the country's 200 richest people, hopes to complete the transaction by mid-February.

This follows extensive work behind the scenes by Leon Crouch, who is back in role of football club chairman.

The new regime could effectively be in control by mid-January, in time to use further cash to pay the wages of Premier League players who have been lined for loan deals.

It is promising news at the end of another week of turmoil at the Championship club.

The executive group of Jim Hone, Ken Dulieu and Andrew Oldknow resigned in protest at shareholders' refusal to sell out to SISU Capital, who have now agreed to buy into Coventry.

As delicate negotiations continue with shareholders, including the group led by former chairman Rupert Lowe which speaks for 29 per cent, Crouch should soon be assisted in the rescue mission by lawyer turned banker Anthony Salz, a former BBC vice-chairman and a lifelong Southampton fan. He is set to become acting chairman of the plc."

I suspect that the credit crunch has really bitten in to "Scouser Mike". Although I do not know and this is all IMHO.

 

I suspect that Leon is now readying himself for the kill. Although I do not know and this is all IMHO.

 

I suspect that Leon has now got his team positioned. Although I do not know and this is all IMHO.

 

I suspect that Barclays are more confident in the new team. Although I do not know and this is all IMHO.

 

I suspect tht Lowe, Cowen, Wilde are history. Although I do not know and this is all IMHO.

 

But I have met Anthony Salz on a few occasions

Kindest Regards

What's the difference between Salz and Co mobilising themselves now compared to when they were mobilising themselves 12-18 months ago?

Lots of mobilising, little action.

Why should we believe that Salz attending the next home game is any more or less significant than all the other games he's attended over the last 18 months when his appearances were supposedly ushering in a new dawn....

What's changed (in your honest opinion) ?

cheers
