Give it to Ron

Quite possibly but whilst Dyer is here he will not progress, he has gone stale and has too much 'history' here to be the player he wants to be. It happens, Kevin Davies was the same second time where he just wasn't going to achieve his full potential as he need the North to feel comfortable. We may regret it in the future but IMO he will never make it here, hopefully McLaggon will come through and be better than Nathan anyway.

I think this answers that http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/4401143.Saints_agree_Dyer_deal_with_Swansea/

We need Staplewood to attract up and coming youngsters to join Southampton and not the lot down the M27. Portsmouth have spent quite a bit in recent times vamping up their academy side. The benefits of Staplewood and a good academy have born the fruit in recent seasons. We would of folded earlier without the Bale and Walcott money. We are now at even bigger disadvantage to other clubs in the area that can offer a higher standard of football...the one thing that we can attract kids is to our facilities.

His partner is the lighting milionaire Shaun Dolear

Could you cope that long without your moderation fix?

Too bloody right...I played against him at schoold for Redbridge v Weston Park and he was the toughest player I have ever faced. Battered and bruised us!

Saints fans will be updated in next 24 hours by Mark Fry who is now more optimistic than last week of a deal. Wages have to be paid on Thursday.

Has he not heard of Viagara? I am not sure what his sexual problems have to do with a takeover apart from airing his problem on here Nick! I hope you havnt jeopardised this deal. ;-)

No they are not...how can they when it needs millions and they have to prove DD? They are brokering a deal on behalf of someone. Can you show me any proof that they are either a] Jackson is buying it b] going to be on the board c] has made any statement to this effect. Or is your assumption based on what the usual sh1t stirrers on here dredge up time and time again? Can you show any proof that the so called 3 bids are not creditable? Why did Fry discard the Guernsey bid if he is just accepting anyone then? Too much rubbish is being written and believed on here without fact and just based on what some anti-anyone posts to stir it all up.

Did Green/Jackson contact MLT to join forces?

Great team performance once again....we certainly have some great youngsters coming through. Razza bowled superbly and a great knock from Jimmy Adams saw us home comfortably. The main thing I have noticed this season is how good our fielding and catching is compared to other seasons - we must of worked very hard on this.

Posted on the ticket no alcohol can be taken into the ground.

So what happens in season 2 or 3 when th little bit of money Salz and co had runs out? I still cannot understand why they don't join up with the other consortium and be twice as strong.

I am sure one of the more informed posters will be along in a minute but wasn't that ID used by one of the Tricon lot? St. D or even LLS himself?

A) Wife has family at Hedge End and still has local ties. She used to work for British Gas Southampton. He may want to build a club his way rather than somewhere like Newcastle that will creat extra pressure. B) Good managers pay for themselves - ask Blackburn and Big Sam how much he has saved them since going there. Billy Davies at Forest....2 managers many on here said they wouldnt want here as no good!!! C) He undoubtedly has contacts in the game and would attract players to come and play for him. Again I state I dont want him here going by the games I have seen him manage.

Well they were abysmal, no support play, couldn't put a pass within 5 yards of their own players, no passion or commitment. Villa were light years ahead. Ok he has inherited a squad full of prima donnas but what about pattern to play and changing when its not working. If you looked at Martins and Viduka they didnt have anyone within 20 yards when they won the ball. He bought on Owen to play up front but why didnt he then tell Duff to stay wide and create space? Every time newcastle got forward there was no width and Villa just had to crowd out the middle. Shearer to Saints...no thanks.

Which again makes me wonder why they havnt joined up with another consortium who it sounds like would be greatly enhanced by their skill. Like Nick I am just baffled why its taking them so long when they were in far better position than anyone else given Crouchs knowledge.

So if Salz and co dont have the money to buy now ...why not join in with Pinnacle and be twice as strong? Unless Morph is spinning everyone a line on here and there is no money at all in either consortium and just spinning everyone along?

Why not have both?

So what you are saying is that the odd number of fans that stayed away because of Lowe was far greater than those that went? Because for me the 15k or so that kept going far more deserve a decent club than the few who stayed away. But I thought it only numbered a couple of hundred according the Lowe supporters on here? So why do a few deserve the club to go to the wall?

Of course what GM also chooses to ignore is the fact that once Lowe went and we knew we were in desperate ****e the gates went up - ok cheaper prices helped but if you were an investor you couldnt ignore the passion, support and feeling at those last few home games but you could if you wanted to ignore the real reasons why admin was happening and not just blaming the fans.

Morph Why doesn't Salz join up with the other bidders like Pinnacle? Too many cooks?

So where does that leave the 15k or so that did attend will they get the club they deserve? I love the constant threads that appear on here that attack the fans who didn't go yet disregard all those that did regardless of whether they supported Lowe or not! Why didn't Rupert ask gavyn for a loan as he is presumably the same class....as that seems important to some.

Prediction based on further information? Do we have enough time for them to complete the buyout?
