Score one more goal than our opponents in the remaining games and we'll be in the play-offs. Simple really.

Perhaps we should send Pullis back?

Can someone look up the definition of "u-turn" for me? Cheers.

Thanks for that - makes things a lot clearer - cheers

Beware....conspiracy theories will get you nowhere....speaking from experience

What is your definition of "the club"? There will always be a club with 'Southampton' in the name, and with links back to the 'current' incarnation, whether the PLC goes out of business or not.

Almost....They are still trading/advertising under the Norwich Union name/brand. Not 100% when the final cutoof is mind you....

So they don't have faith and/or conviction in this season's strategy then?

The name of a Football Club can rise out of the demise of it's holding company. Can't it?

Are you still 'in Dubai waiting for Tommac?'

I can confirm that is correct

Aye. That's what I thought....which makes one wonder why they go to the trouble of writing these peripheral reports and then try and flog them in the first place? Perhaps they contain some 'informed' opinion of how the club is doing and what is likely to happen in the foreseeable future....again, pretty subjective I'd have thought.

Yeah...one of the more amusing typos I've seen of late

There's a couple of independent market reports of SLH available for download here: http://markets.ft.com/ft/tearsheets/analysis.asp?s=UK%3ASOO One released this week - 7th Jan (Reuters) and the other on 30th Dec 08 (Wrights). Not sure if they'll contain anything we don't already know. Am not quite tempted enough to splash out a tenner on each download to find out...

Coincidently, I was re-reading the above sections last night (Sad life? Check!) and those couple of lines about seeking alternative investment stuck out to me too. It did say, if memory serves me correctly, that they would persue 'internal funding' options ahead of 'external funding' which, as you suggest, perhaps indicates that there are still cards up sleeves/rabbits in hats/irons in fires etc.....damn...I new this would all fizzle out into a non-event....here was me starting to see the beginnings of a new broom...

Oxymoron

As we're getting things out into the open.... Was TSF poster Leonard "fellow travellers" Coming (who was subsequently banned for no publicly apparent reason) a Tommac inspired stooge at Vulcan Capital? Thanks.

Amid all the falsely reported denials, wasn't Paul Allen quoted as saying that he would snap up the club but only after we go into administration? Someone could have made that up of course.

Easy. They are the ones that go defensive when someone has the temerity to suggest there might be PR plants on the MB....

Whoops....sorry....cheers.....took me a while to work out what to do!

It was posted on here that it turned out to be a bogus company & website that was (somehow) used to dupe the board at the time (or visa versa....sorry, memory not too good) ....or perhaps it was all a weird dream? Wasn't that a website that someone found with a potential connection to 'Sundance Beast' who then got all un-proportionally defensive when denying he had anything to do with it? Again, memory on the blink tonight....

Or perhaps a consortium struggling to convince the major shareholders to sell their shares leaked information they had gleaned via due diligence in a bid to flush out the inertia and stalemate at the club and shake things up a bit? A wild stab in the dark but plausible perhaps?
