Great news - means there's a chance something professional might be happening.

M1K3Y F1lKA?

He can afford a cell phone?!

**** off!

Let's play 20 questions.... Is it a positive rumour?

Seems to back up the proposition that a change in SLH leadership may have soured the relationship somewhat.

Can't disagree with that.

Well, I understand why people are sceptical as we have been done over badly in the last few years. I suppose we'll all just have to wait and see as I don't for one minute expect any one on this board to post "the answer" to what has happened. I imagine the reality is much more mundane than people like to think, however.

If you want a real laugh, check out the Pinnacle Asset Management website - not a contact detail in site on that one (although there are plenty of "please contact us" and typos).

I would also like to point out, that there is a very real risk of some of you defaming named individuals, and I would urge you to stop unless you can back up what you are inplying with some evidence.

What the hell are you talking about? David Jones is not still in his position at SLH PLC. Look everyone - I am not saying there is no potential scope for misdoings in this, or a similar, situation; clearly there is. But ask yourself what is more likely: A) A large scale conspiracy, dependent on the happening of certain contingencies, involving misconduct on the part of several parties; or B) A complete **** of a tosser annoying his bank manager.

Well if anyone can provide any evidence that Richard Fry called in our overdraft in order to push work to Begbies Traynor, then clearly that stinks. But they haven't. If he was working his notice I expect he would have been taken off the management of such matters or put on gardening leave in any case. It remains the case that SLH PLC could have appointed anyone they felt like as IPs. Yes, Begbies have an office in Southampton but so do Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG etc....... As Gemmel said; much more likely that Fry got so exasperated from having to deal with Lowe and seeing us turn down offers for players - (do you think we would have got more than £400k for Dyer back then? I do) - that his patience ran out.

Er, well that's arguable. We turned down offers for players in January. Our ego-maniac stupid **** of an ex-chairman forced us into bankruptcy. In any case, SLH PLC was free to appoint whoever it wanted. In any case, Richard Fry didn't work for Begbies at the time.

Let's not let a few facts get in the way of a conspiracy.

I love the absurd teleology of the green brigade.

You're mental.

I question the judgment of anyone who wants to be associated with that man, however much money they may (or may not) have.

Do you HAVE to name seven subs?

JPS supplied me with just about the only good memory from last season with that scorcher at Watford. Would be delighted if we could sign him.

Firstly, we needed to raise money. Secondly, without exclusivity, purchasers are going to be reluctant to incur the costs of full due diligence. Lock-out agreements are common in private acquisitions.

I call bull ****. If you had stopped at the first full-stop I might have believed you.

Absolutely. If there's one person round here who is desperate, absolutely desperate, to achieve a sale of this club then it's Mark Fry. No one knows the full details of everything that has been put before him apart from him. Imagine if you only ever heard a second hand account from someone who only knew one angle and who struggles badly to express themselves and who doesn't really understand anything about the area he is operating in. Christ, you'd end up talking a load of ****.

Ahh, poor litlle LifelongCherrryPip wasn't allowed near the creditors? Thank **** for that. Good work Fry.

Was that the one with the Mark Hughes Archers Road advertising board "goal"?! No one reacted at the time but I was going ape :mad: I knew it had gone in!

Ronnie Rosenthal. Carlton Cole. Chris Bart-Williams. Darren Huckerby. Brad Friedel. Ian Wright.
