For them to make more money out of this investment than they could putting the money in other forms of investment or even leaving it in a bank, they will have to invest heavily in order to ensure the club reaches at least the top half of the Championship if not higher.

So British bidders don't have international contacts!? Most super wealthy people have business connections on a global scale. "International" bidders only have one country as well, so both a local and foreign investment from your logic still has over 200 countries untouched.

What a strange statement! Why can only foreign investment mean global branding? Why can't a rich British bid have global branding? Before I sound like I'm from the BNP can I just say I don't care where the money is from

Why would it matter if we had 20m from abroad or 20m from Britain? Money is money! Why do you want an international bid so much? Really doesn't matter where they are from if both deals offered equal money!

Not including yourself?

Did you not read this part of the article? He has clearly been offered in principle a contract which will be signed by both parties once a takeover has occured. I would imagine the same has been done with a number of other players.

Mills will be left back next season and will do a great job imo

Told by...?

Wow my first made up rumour and it has some substance to it 10/1 on another little Saints manager called Gordon

And now the whole world will know from the BBC website...

or Sarah with Gordon, Phillip, Trevor and Simon on the board

Perhaps this should be added to the list in the opening post Jamie White Kyle Davies - Signed for Real Salt Lake Jamie Hatch Jeffrey Imudia - Out of contract. Released on May 6th Aarran Racine Andrej Pernecky Michael Byrne Callum McNish Tony Garrod Sam Argent Jack Boyle Ryan Doble Tom Dunford Ciaran Harper Jordan Keegan Daryl Mclean Michal Dolinajec - Out of contract. Released on May 6th Lucas Stiklakis - Out of contract. Released on May 6th Garyn Preen Ben Reeves Liam Hogan - Out of contract. Released on May 6th Ryan Tafazolli Bobby Scott

I'm not sure if this low level of chat about Lucy Pinder makes this takeover thread sink lower or makes it better than it was before dribble wise.

Providing the possible level of funding needed to get back to the Premiership?

What in your eyes would count as realistic with the level of funding available to the bids?

I don't need to "buy" that

Doubt I will buy any this year.

Do broken hearts count? As every Saints fan must have one of those

How rich/willing to invest in playing staff are they Lance? What kind of ball park?

Where did the Candy brothers rumour come from?

If you were a Polish international striker with ambitions of going to a world cup at the end of the next season would you stay in 3rd tier English football?

Clearly he was playing for the last time to see if he warranted a contract. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/articles/article.php?page_id=11739 He blew his chance and will be going back to France according to Wotte.

He can be our Niall Quinn you mean

What size ball park of money do you reckon they will invest in playing staff?
