It's actually Tommy Forecast. Not sure why I did an M not a T.

Simpering, nostalgic, emotional, defeatist, pathetic bull.

--------------MP/MF/New------------- GM-----------CP-------WT--------JM LJ--------SG--------MS----------LH -------------SJ-------BWP--------- That excludes Lallana, Jake Thomson, Paul Wotton, Ollie Lancashire, Matt Paterson + the new trialist striker and also Saganowski and Rasiak. If we can keep John and sign Murty, we actually have a decent blend.

Yep.

I've never done that :^o

Not really. They will only make any money out of this if they conclude a takeover.

If terms can be agreed then this is fantastic news IMO. A player who has played at a higher level than this throughout the vast majority of their career but has plenty of English league experience. A physical presence. This is what we've been crying out for, isn't it?

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?
