It's not over yet: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/jul/22/portsmouth-takeover-sulaiman-al-fahim

I have to say I find it embarassing when they wheel out the likes of Illingsworth and Clive Foley on TV.

Look here first, you don't get minute by minute reports of training sessions on the OS (thanks, Pilchards)

Thanks Pilchards. I have always rated John higher than the other strikers, his hold up play is excellent which is something we sorely missed on Saturday.

Are Stern John and Jason Euell there Pilchards?

Anyone know how many tickets sold so far for the Ajax game?

Now you are expecting a bit too much!

Hope the crowd is about 25K, that would be great. I will taking my 10 year daughter along in another attempt to convince her of the importance (and enjoyment) of supporting Saints.

I'm sure I saw Andy Oldknow in a restaurant in Salisbury last night, perhaps I should have asked him.

What about Dowie. Yes I know he failed at Charlton but that is not necessarily a bad thing (as a learning experience).

You speak as if you have 'inside information'. Is this the case or is this all just your opinion?

Good shout, I had forgotten about him. I would also like to see Dowie. I think we have to accept Strachan, Keegan & Shearer would not be interested in managing a League 1 club.

I agree with this. I don't want Tony Adams. Like many others I would love WGS to come back to the club, I just don't think it's going to happen. If TA was to be become manager I would be very disappointed but it would make no difference to my support for the club. I realise this makes me mental, wibble wibble

You mean, similar outrage to when Strachan was appointed?

Fantastic news. Read what he says about holding himself responsible for our position. Total, total respect to the guy.

This thread is f*****g unbelieveable! Our new owner (God bless him) can employ whoever he sees fit to run the club. I have far greater respect for his ability to recruit the right people than some of the 'experts' on this forum. I have to say some of the opinions on how the administrator should do his job (on other threads) were laughable. We should all stick to opinions on football.

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss get in there!!!!

Todays Echo article now on the web: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4479991.The__ideal_owner__for_Saints/

nice :confused:

'Tension builds' they've been looking at this forum again!

BBC report states: "Before a deal can be completed, there are several issues that have to be sorted out, including the Football League carrying out a period of due diligence on the club's prospective new owners." Anyone know how long a period lasts?:confused:

So we're just waiting for the FL now then.........no worries

Russian tycoon, please go on.........

Why do you assume this?

According to the Echo the Swiss group WERE negotiating with creditors: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4467677.Potential_foreign_owners_in_late_night_Saints_talks/
