And it "might" just keep Kelvin at the club if we can offer him a contract before he goes to West Ham. I believe he would rather stay with us and be first choice than go to West Ham and sit on the bench all season.

So using the tatic of replacing more established players with kids. Hope that tatic changes when/if we get taken over. It showed last season that it didn't work..

Just seen the interview for the first time, was quite impressed. I think they do know who the new manager will be (MW it wont be, fair play to the guy still being here though). Only concern from the interview was that he said he didn't have the time to be massively involved day to day. Just made me wondered why he was bothering if that was the case?!

Not quite true, within the next 30mins it'll be on.

http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4459018.Swiss_group_arrive_for_Saints_talks/ Wonder how Tony et al will react to this news... hopefully push them into getting to sorted asap!

F is for FFS, when is this gonna finish (the takeover that is)

Another step in the right direction. Just get it sorted tomorrow pleaseeeeeee

Which is why come 30th June when his contract is up he will leave and unless the deal goes through before that we will be left without anyone in charge.

Maybe they should just accept defeat on getting the right to appeal, take over and get the start of the new era started. the longer it goes on, the less time the new man will have to get his own players in, we may miss out of some as a result. Wotte will go if he doesn't know one way or another by 30th June as thats when his contract is up.

Saw a link to this while watching that video. A man who cares as chairman, how good would that be...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUt5CQPyWzs&NR=1

So sounds like the FL wont approve the deal as we are planning to appeal against the -10 points. So drop the appeal and they will sign it. Sounds rather pathetic doesn't it. Who's gonna back down first....

I expect confirmation tomorrow that the takeover has been completed, with the details coming on monday. But please give us a little bit of info to keep us going over the weekend, otherwise it's gonna be one long weekend!

Looks like it's gonna be the first story after the break for anyone who wants to see it.

I remember skiving off football training to go see that game, it was a night one if i remember rightly?

Basically nobody knows and nobody knows. HTH

He would be a gamble as he's only managed at Conf and L2, and i think if he wasn't an ex saint people wouldn't even be talking about him. In my opinion he would be a gamble along the lines of Sturrock.

So Paul Ince did well at L2 Macclesfield and L2 MK Dons and got his chance with Blackburn and it didn't work out. So in my opinion will have a point to prove wherever he goes next. He will want to prove to the doubters that he can manage and Blackburn was just a blip. Could do worse than Ince IMO, an ambitious manager with a point to prove, sounds good to me.

Would love either of those! To be honest i actually think i prefer the Ajax way round. But hopefully the new owners can get the request in to Umbro for this or next season.

So why do people now think it's this guy then?

So who u think it is then Nick?

Although i think it'll be someone we've never heard of, didn't they say the backer was a household name or was that one of the other bids?

The style of kit many would like to see IMO, but need to switch the colours round the other way. Not a fan of the round badge either, keep it as just the creast and will look much nicer.

I'll go for a total stranger nobody has ever heard of!

Maybe our new owner is so filthy rich he doesn't need anyone else's money? Oh we can but hope :-)

Attention Seeker? Why reveal all at midnight?
