News?? Last time I looked news was based on fact. Are there any direct quotes from Fry in the article?

Not sure if anyone follows the dogs? Anyway, following last nights quarter finals I have backed: Bubbly Maestro 16/1 with Victor Glenard Maestro 12/1 with Paddy Backed them both e/w. Both in the easier of the two semi finals.

No News breaking on the SSN ticker now....

.....and your thoughts are based on what?? Is Lowe to blame for all other fan divisions?? FWIW I am not a Lowe fan.

Let's not get too depressed. Brighton's fortune is the exception to the rule. Good luck to them.

Is the quote by the Conference chairman in the public domain? And was the quote directly attributed to the coming season?

Corrected for you

especially for Hypo

Idiotic? No. Stupid?? No. Irrational and inflamatory??? Could be.....

Priceless....

Jeepers... this thread continues to amuse. Selling a football club is like selling a house??? Is life like a box of chocolates too???

If buyer was our ONLY bidder then: a) we would more than likely be ruined in the long run by this unprofessional outfit b) Mr Fry would know not to pish him/her/them off 3) don't be offended when you put up inflamatory remarks and people do not agree with them.

Both nickh and you are taking a lot of stick on this thread, mainly I'm sure down to how frustrated we all are with the predicament the club we love is in. Seriously though, the scenario above would paint Mr Fry in a particularly unprofessional light and I would suggest you stop from pursuing this line. Mr Fry is accountable to the creditors, if he ****es off a potential buyer I'm sure the creditors will hear about it in due course. Meanwhile, if a potential bidder is acting as unrealistically as you suggest then frankly we don't need them at our club.

Please God we do find someone willing to give our club the backing it needs. Also, if it's not too much to ask, that they also have the first clue on how to run a football club.

You don't just bid for the business that is in administration. You have to plan expenditure for the short and long term, therefore proving that you can sustain the business as an ongoing venture. Whilst also proving that you have the financial backing for this to take place. There will be brinkmanship on both sides. Even when we were solvent (or should that be surviving) we very rarely spent more on transfers in a season than we sold.

How on God's earth can you qualify that??

Mucking around trying to get the best deal, blimey that's revolutionary.

A friend of a friend of a friend...

All very well and good.... surely, given the circumstances in your piece, the board should have looked for reassurance from the bank prior to the Admin cut off point? The boards actions were at best naieve and at worst totally disregarding the future of Southampton FC. To continue with the what if... how do you propose we would have sold the club and include an offering to the shareholders?? We appear to be struggling to sell without the offering.

The players were / are good enough. The management and the board have to take the bulk if not all of the blame, simple as.

....but Jamie Scowcroft would have sorted it. You are East Ham

Bungle has a point. The major false economy of last season was the "championship busting" 2 for 1 offering. BOGOF

Erm.... there would be no Main Board if they banned all the users who spouted nonsense.
