Is there a more authorative source than the Echo reporting the FL meeting proposed for Monday?

Actually it might have been a good idea,if only the administrators or 'the club' had entered the appeal immediately.Leaving it 4-6 weeks or however long has enabled this to be brought into negotiations now. We are assuming this is the only stumbling block of course.

Completely agree with that.

I'm not sure KK is contracted to Newcastle.Shearer and Dowie were brought in as a temporary measure so again I don't think they are under a contract. Agree that PT may now seem a step down from the greater aspirations the last 36 hours have generated.Longer term though I suspect he would be a good option,certainly one that is likely to build the club long after more illustrious names are likely to have departed.(That said I would like a KK inspired Saints again).

Relief....I thought you were going to say Margeret Thatcher was buying us.

Don't tell me, their fax is broken ? Or they have uncovered the fact that Andrew Lloyd Webber has been gun running,and involved in running a prostitution racket.

Maybe an announcement to confirm an announcement in 48 hours. (or 72 hours to allow for the weekend)

On the back of the squad Martin Allen had built and left for him.for the hundredth time! Awful choice in my view.

Would prefer Tisdale to Dowie frankly.But Dowie is a better option than Ince.So on that basis I'm fairly indifferent to his possible appointment.

Does that make you a 'cereal' spiller ?

Same was said of Burley to some degree.I see Curbishley as another of yesterdays men,unlikely to reach the same heights again. As for the 'guv'nor',I really hope that if nothing else,MLT does have an intense dislike of the f^cker,to keep him away from Saints.

I thought that was Dyer.

Can't see that working frankly.Both are pretty headstrong characters, and I doubt Ince would have anyone tell him or advise him on anything. KK is experienced and has contacts through the game so could make a DoF,but I've always seen him as a 'player's manager' rather than a suit in the boardroom.

Just a few views from an Exeter site : http://www.exeweb.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32629 Some interesting comments.

Is it possible that memberships have been suspended this season due to the fact we are approaching season ticket sales etc so late on that it would be a logistic nightmare to process it all now ? Don't agree with the decision as I too was going for a membership this season.

But we couldn't approach Exeter or Tisdale yet,as 'we' do not have a club to run until Begbies Traynor officially say we do.There is no reason however to stop prospective owners talking to available candidates about hypothetical vacancies.

Do we need, or will place two former high profile players on the same board ?

An excellent selection,and would be reasonably happy with any of those creations esp. the Keegan era home shirt.

WGS..it would be a mistake to go back imo. Shearer..no experience of note. Curbishley should join Ince in the 'f^ck off' file.

Keegan would be a phenominal appointment,just for the impact,confirmation of ambition and expectation it would bring. Tisdale would be an appointment showing a long term comittment to rebuilding. After those two I can't be optimistic over the names put forward.Shearer has no track record and Ince would be a sorry state of affairs,merely appointing a 'name' for the sake of it.

I think it is entirely possible to monitor his and his progress without watching Exeter.We do afterall support and follow another club. Ottery will I'm sure give you a low down on Exeter under PT if you so desire it.

Totally agree,he papers over the cracks by his own self publicity.

Ideal, but can't see KK wanting a DoF role somehow.

TSW....The Echo.....SSN. Not too difficult to spot a chain emerging is it ? On the other hand it may of course be true.
