Jesus! He sounds just as bad as Lowe (and I don't utter those words lightly). An arrogant idiot trying to make a mockery of League Rules, serving his own financial interests to the detriment of the club, rubbing up the wrong people and generally not having a clue about the football business. Sound familiar? Batchelor is renown as a complete joke and waster so I sincerely hope he is nothing to do with one of the bids. As Thorpie so rightly intonated, how do we attract these weirdos?! Well, easy pickings for idiots seems the case. You've got to laugh (with despair) when you read such articles but someone wisely suggested (too lazy to check who) that if numpties on an internet forum can realise all this, you can bet your bottom dollar intelligent businessman like Fry, esq. will also know this. As also suggested, this information has been drip fed to the ever willing Echo and used as a blatant media tool (tool seems appropriate when we're talking about names like Batchelor!) I wouldn't panic nor take these people seriously, if it is in fact them biddding! They won't get taken seriously (if able to pass the FL fit and proper persons ruling) by both Fry or the Football League.

Lighten up! Considering you're standing on the shoulders of "midgets"

I think there are a couple more people responsbile for running us into the ground, let's not mention names. Not so much a curse on their part, more a case of not having the faintest idea on how to run a football club and knowing next to f*ck all about football. That can't have helped!

Can you confirm this is true (not saying not) and confirm how you know this please (i.e. SOURCE?) ? It ties in with my very suspicious mind and investigative conclusions and theory about Pinnacle, Fry and the liquidation prospect...stranger things have happened at SFC and the businessmen we attract certainly don't fly straight!

Did anyone get the consortium name from listen again then? Or was Wotte mentioning the name completely imagined!

I think we should put a ban on the word "Pinnacle" from now on. We could lump it in TSW broom cupboard, along with words such as "Lowe" and "Wilde" and throw in some users to keep them company - "Sundance Nineteen Canteen" and "Bungle", esq. Sorted!

I quizzed Mr Wotte about this a few weeks back and the possibility of him returning. JPS is in Holland because they had a play off situation (they have play offs for relegation in Holland) and he'd gone back to be part of this at the club he was loaned from. I thought he was of use to us so had to ask and Mark stated how JPS had liked it here and would possibly return. Nothing clear as of yet, understandably with our situation. But, he certainly hadn't ruled it out. Knowing our timescales, every player will have moved on by the time (IF) anything happens to our club. *sighs* (no pun intended)

Trousers, is your avatar a picture of a guy plugging another guy...or is it something else?! Had to ask! LOL

Wotte's always like that. He knows how to feed tit bits but only says what you wanna hear. Nothing too revealing. Football manager's must be well honed at this. Especially with our past Chairman being the king of b*llsh*t, plenty to learn from. Now I know you're lying. Wotte's a bit tight with the rounds! Still owes me a beer after he had a few free G&T from our kindly lot before leaving on his round. He earns how much a week? Pah!!

Yeah, Nick Leeson has a Saints link but if you said "that" name, you only speak "that" name to yourself, thousands of miles from Southampton & civilization and then only spoken as a mere whisper. Do not forget, when you say "that" name, a kitten and a puppy die!

That's not actually cynical, more realistic! LMAO Sadly true if you're to believe history. I'm adopting this outlook, then maybe I'll be proved wrong. Reverse "sod's law". Worth a try. Won't say anymore or it'll ruin it. Expect the worst, then you'll never be disappointed!

:lol: LMAO - This ridiculous embargo will have certainly have washed some fans away...for good. You can't blame people. As fans, we've been knocked down, got back up, knocked down, got back up, knocked down...and down...........and DOWN! (More times than I like to admit). Ludicrous. But we are great fans. Truly resiliant. Sometimes I wonder why. GOOD NEWS! I like Radio Hants - music lame but there aren't any decent radio stations anymore. Local or otherwise. Least they've Saints news and they give the Skates abuse. Radio 1, 2,etc. sh*te mornings & afternoon. Solent is soooo tedious but their tips and features makes me laugh purely because they're so unbelievably rubbish!! ("today we'll be asking callers to phone in if you ever had an eraser that smelled of fruit at school...what flavour was your rubber?" Errrr, it was clear, stretchy, bobbled and smelt of strawberries! LOL) :badgrin:

Liquidation. Otherwise, anything that has happened can be attributed to the divisive antics of a master plan from Lowe...and he's a complete c*nt who deserves to be lobotomized and thrown in an institution.

Conspiracy? Well, I think the dark Lord Lowe was behind this. After eating some babies & poisoning the water supply in Leicester, he made a shady deal with Lynam & a coven of twisted business associates. The plan - to use and abuse our friendly, trusting club talisman (in Le Tiss) as part of a cleverly orchestrated catalyst to win over the loathsome fans, to run SFC into liquidation, then would re-emerge from the shadows of hell and stop smugly grinning long enough to re-sink his teeth into the carcass of SFC (if there was any chance of some profit 3rd time around)...f*ck the fans! Well, a bit far fetched but not implausible at St Mary's - theatre of dreams? Chamber of Horrors! [As for the FL, I think their words are very interesting and totally sweep the carpet from the Pinnacle Charlatans but I do question the timing (now Pinnacle have been disgraced) and I think the matter could and should have been dealt with much more professionally - official annoucements through a FL spokesperson - avoids all the cloak and dagger/smoke and mirrors]. Also, it'll be interesting to see if we do get taken over, that the FL remain consistent with the words echoed this week and don't go about turn. Historically, you can't expect them to honour their words.

Arrogant & smug are traits I'd expect with a certain ex chairman but I expect better of you! If you speak with Duncan & had your PM facility active, you would have received an apology today, as Duncan did. Seems I made a Crouch like error of judgement. However, I'm wasn't privvy to any further information that you may have heard & I just judged what I saw. Seems Mr Lynam convinced a fair few of us fools eh?! Let's see if your buddy Salz can revive our rapidly suffocating club eh?! As you said, Let the professionals have a go!

That's what I thought but don't let sense and logic get in your way! Just knock Crouch without the facts. FFS.

Solent - crap music and about 2 sporting updates a day...and interesting advice feautures like why not to jump off piers into shallow water, wear sun screen & if you feel hot, drink lots of water and sit in the shade. WOW! Exciting stuff.

I'd heard Hoddle had been working on a bid with backers from Dubai for the past 6 months?! 20 Million investment BUT, we've all heard this sort of sh*t before so doubt much will happen. Or, maybe it did...and they got the wrong directions and ended up with the Skates!

On OS now and on SSN. Fry's statement.

SSN coming up, Le Tiss. Dunno if repeated or not as just in.

Think you may be right. No-one I know that works in the area has reported seeing the same, even after looking. Internet message boards do attract people who are largely ignored in regular social circles therefore resort to b*llsh*t to get some perverse thrill of leading up fans up the garden path! :axe:

Was that a sarky "really" ? In any case... http://www.olavsplates.com/switzerland_slow.html

Well, just learnt ZH is the Canton of Zurich!

You sure they weren't White coats?! Seen dragging a man in a shiny grey suit out of St Mary's?!
