saints_is_the_south

Not heard of this Roman Vega, i was under the understanding that Fioranelli was representing the Flick family. I haven't really followed it with as much interest in the last few weeks tho due to being glued to this forum so i could be wrong!

Solent - Finalised tonight or tomorrow. Owner, whoever he may be not expected to take a hands on role & will appoint a team to run the club in Adam Blackmore's opinion.

http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/jul4t.html Roma are my 2nd team & I'm pretty sure Fioranelli hasn't given up yet although its been going on for weeks, much like the Saints takeover. This is the decisive week for him & Roma. Either way I'm 99% sure he hasn't got any involvement with this takeover of Saints.

He's involved in a consortium still trying to buy Roma so i'd have thought not.

+1 please!

Thats from this article: http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11719_5418161,00.html -which is clearly using old news that the echo were reporting yesterday. Solent are correct

Updated at ten to 3 this afternoon though.

So we are waiting for the swiss or the FL to sign them?

Don't suppose you mind me asking where you heard this? I've been in contact with David Luker for the past few weeks & he said prices had been drawn up to present to the new owners whenever they took control, wouldn't even let me have a snippet of what they were going to be. He did suggest though that there wouldn't be the big reductions that possibly some were expecting.

Had mine 2.5 seasons, this will be the 3rd. Oh wells, hopefully discount for existing ST holders however long they've had em too.

Just had a text from a mate - All issues have been resolved, contracts being drawn up. Awaiting his reply on the source. Edit As above - Source is Solent Yeeeeeeeeeeeha!

w00t! Get on with it Fry FFS! Anybody still remember the good morning vietnam PM from MB? Greatest ever imo.

If it was signed this morning then surely we'd have an announcement by now. Maybe they are getting a kick out of stringing the fans along a bit longer!

+1. After reading the echo this morning my heart was racing with excitement, should have known it would probably be another in a long line of false dawns. Surely we have to get an update from Fry at the least today?

Nothing new though, they've just added the remaining part of the story from today's echo.

Back page of the echo reads: Swiss Roll In All I've seen for the moment, going out to buy the paper now so unless MB/Thorpie beat me to it i'll post more when i'm back.

Anybody else got the echo this morning? Just had a text from a mate saying that the Echo says today is the day!

Paterson and a few others have recently though?

Sounds good! Hopefully we'll finally hear something on Monday or Tuesday latest then.

New kit? lol I assume that was sarcasm, surely you couldn't expect Saints to unveil a new kit when we don't even have any owners yet?

And the Saints take over merry go round just continues to go on!

Swiss still front runners & confident of securing deal soon - ssn.

Who teh fook are these guys? Aslong as Lowe isn't involved i don't mind who they are.

May aswell keep him at RB then & start JT at right mid, we need a winger with abit of pace & someone who can run at players, JT seems that sort. I still also harbour some hope of Kelvin staying, he is clearly hanging on to see whether the takeover goes through otherwise he'd have signed for West Ham 2 days ago. Hopefully that goes through over the weekend & then he can stay with us. So based on that here would be my team: Davis James - Perry - Thomas - Mills Thomson - Gillett - Schnerderlin - Holmes Rasiak - John That leaves Lancashire, Wotton, Lallana, Saga, Patterson plus BWP & Euell if they decide to stay in the end. Not a bad side for L1 IMO.

Lloyd James at right wing? Gotta be having a laugh! The boy struggles to run at right back, would hate to see him deployed at right mid! People who watch the reserves/youth teams on a regular basis say his best position is DM so why not give him a go there?
