Hartlepool away at easter then.

TNT may have answered that for you in the following post. Anything further than that is a question for Salz himself. I don't know. It is however a valid question.

Why on earth should such a bid be entertained by Fry ? Unless he is fed up with what he may regard as dealing with chancers, or they are bound to fall at some further hurdle.

apologies for Freudian slip.

Are you not confusing Salz with Fukthorpe here ? Or is it suggested their interests are linked ?

Why Salz ? From everything I have read about him he is someone of gravitas in the business world,as a highly respected solicitor.If he could oversee the Guiness/Distillers merger etc then I'm sure he would bring many qualities to our board and running of the club. Had he become involved 18months ago I believe the club's relationship with the bank and other creditors may have been very different.

Pleased to read about Salz's continued presence and interest. I too have wondered about this : better still I question if someone with Salz's reputaion and standing could not act to bring the interested parties together.

I am aware of Marc Jackson,from reading on here it seems he is a local chancer who has in the past talked up his "connections".Without wishing to rewrite multiple threads from the past two years,can anyone offer anything of substance in support of him though ? Background,previous sucessful ventures etc. As for Green,who is he ? Apart from chairing a meeting once, what is his background and connection with Saints ? Would anyone be optimistic that they could see the deal through even if they do enter a period of exclusivity ?

No known developments since yesterday,nor any further speculation to thrive on.

Perhaps there will be an announcement of "no news in 48 hrs".

In what capacity was the latter mentioned then ? Investor,manager ? Any other clues as to name.Could help bide the time awaiting the real announcement.

Lowe does not live in or near Tewkesbury,which is a shame as he might have been washed away in floodwater in 2007 if that were the case. (He is closer to Cirencester if you wish to look at a map of Gloucestershire again.)

A fair few Cheltenham fans are fed up with him by now as well tbh. Many of the critiscisms are reminiscent of Burley's time with us;not knowing best team,constant changing making it unsettled,too many loans,etc. The other familiar theme heard and read "we can't afford to sack him". Off the field,I don't think we'd be too eager to appoint a manager who gets p!ssed and drops his pants in a town centre pub a couple of nights before an important home match : http://www.thisisgloucestershire.co.uk/news/Robins-boss-barred-pub-antics/article-968628-detail/article.html

Interesting,but the part in bold does not seem plausible to me. I would have thought that all the potential purchaser has to do is establish they have sufficient funds - so the amount involved should be vaguely established at the outset - to complete the purchase from the creditor.Having gone that far I can't see the creditors needing to delve beyond that. Regretably I suspect Guided Missiles take on it may be more likely.

If true then Leon Crouch is elevating himself into the echelon of Saints, along with Corbett, Blagrave and Reader. Isn't Crouch though thought to be part of a potential consortium put together by Salz ? If so, I wonder if they will now be in the frame again.

Thanks for that.I think it proves my point.

Both of which are a little more positive than the original statement. Thank you for clarifying it.

Is that definite,with quotes or a "The BBC understands..." ? Strawclutching perhaps. But initial response is "oh sh!t,".

Tradition though is amber and black. Yellow and blue was adopted by Saints in the early 1970's as a catch up on the fashion at the time.Chelsea,Everton and Man U had all worn the identical kit before us.Infact I think the Mancs had even been first to wear it !

I agree with you,although still think a clean sweep is required. I would have no objection to Wotte continuing as Academy Director for the remaining year of his contract and seeing how that pans out. As for replacements,if it is a contact of MLT's then possibly Tisdale,or even Dowie.Hope its Tisdale,although Cotterill is a more likely candidate.Dread it being Ince .

A more realistic version of your post Stanley.

Excellent.It'd be good to return to the kits from that era, a time when Saints were at their pinnacle (!) in English football.

I can share some of docker's concerns about this at the moment ie Pinnacle fronting a bid from unknown buyers,Pinnacle themselves largely unknown.But if FF and Weston who seem to have a closer and more reliable ear to the ground than most,are able to give us some 'assurances' - as best they can - on it then thats good enough for me at the moment. Only when facts are known will we be able to make a better assessment.

Gold is actually more like Wolves (old gold),than amber. Not sure what you mean by deep cream but it sounds similar to a fairly tasteless effort c10 years ago,described as 'ecru' if I remember correctly (or 'sepia' for a similar Liverpool coloured shirt at the time.). You may of course be right that yellow is not the best commercial option.

Would get my vote.
