my thoughts exactly

for his time at Eastleigh, he has done a lot for them as a club

Something to maybe take your mind off the crap we are suffering at the moment! Have to say looking at the line up it is going to be a great day. Many faces from Saints from the 90's side and even woggy

YOu made me chuckle and am I really a gimpoid **** dont answer that!

Sorry but I dont buy it Look on the Saints Website "The Company" (SLH) is the holding company of a group whose principle activity is the operation of a professional football club The corporate statement of SLH is "To strive in partnership with all the clubs stakeholders to establish and maintain SOUTHAMPTON FOOTBALL CLUB as a finacially robust business. A business whose principle asset is a stylish and entertaingin football team" you only have to look at the EOY reports to see that SLH is SFC

I also think we will get the ten points deduction and most people are forgetting one thing here. If SLH is totally "different" to SFC, and it is SLH that is insolvent and SFC that is solvent and still running as business, can someone tell me why people are asking for money for Southampton Football Club? The reason being is that SFC is borderline insolvent. Thats why the FL will be looking into the accounts more closely. They will see that the football club has no money at all and is only keeping going at the moment with donations from the likes of LC / MR and what ever the fans give. You have some players deferring their wages, these guys do not get paid by SLH they are paid by the club The SLH end of year reports show all the profits etc from player trading, sky money (when in the prem), gate receipts, advertising revenue etc etc. There is no difference what so ever here both are the same thing I think we are resigned for -10 Sorry

you have a pm

This is the main reason I think we will get the ten point deduction. Unless someone comes in quick and the deal is sorted then -10 here come

We go to the pensioners before the game, are you talking about the worlds tallest women that is a bloke!

Well Im sure if you look at the directors box today, someone might recognise someone

I have just been told that there is currently a meeting going on now between a prospective buyer / consortium and Messers Fry and the legal team from the administrators I have to say fair play to Mark Fry as he isnt hanging around here and Im quite hopeful that we will get a deal we are waiting for. Back to Baj's comment about 15 interested parties, dont you think it is amusing they have come out now when either Lowe has gone or they can pick the club up for nowt

you will need a ****ing big bucket

I wish you would get over this Saints trust business. Wilde would have come in what ever, Trust Support or Not. The majoirty of fans at the time felt Wilde was the right move and yes those of those that did now know it wasnt a good move. He convinced a lot of people including a lot of fans, The Corbetts, The lawries of this world , other major shareholders and many others the list goes on. You never know some of those may be the difference to us still having a football club next season

Not being funny John by why the hell should He?

To be honest I think that is on the money

We saw one today on those new advertising boards at the toll booths on the itchen bridge

After what Mark Fry said yesterday about they are hoping there will be enough cash to run till the end of the season, just shows how in the ****e we are. It is obvious that there was an OD limit of £4m and asking for it to be extended does show poor leadership. We didnt all of a sudden get close that limit it has been close for sometime. Barclays has obvioulsy looked at the cash flow predictions and thought mmmmmm this isnt good. A 100k extension could lead to and £200k extension and etc etc. We are coming to a very lean period ie the closed season, with players wages still going out but none coming in from gate reciepts, advertising etc etc. OK you have season ticket renewals but that is just a temp peek. If we had stayed within the OD limit I think it would have been fine but we didnt we asked for more.

Sorry but I dont get all this bad feeling aginst Barclays. Business is business! Im sorry to say that SLH was bad business.

Sorry but why? I dont blame Barclays at all for pulling the plug on the overdraft. There is only so much one can do and to be fair you have no friends in business especially when money is owned and when in a current climate such as it at the moment. How many other business's have had their overdraft facility withdrawn so they have to cease trading, frigging hundreds. The club has been running at a loss for months, so you tell me when do you say enough is enough. Personally I feel blaming Barclays is a cope out

the other thing here with this part of the debt is that it is structured. I think the main problem we have is the OD and the continual rising operating costs. There is or was a bond in place with the current directors. Im hoping NU will continue this bond with the new owners

I spoke to the club about this last year when it was first brought up. At the time there was a long standing lease agreement with West Quay and would have cost more to shut the shop then keep it open

I have just spoken to 4 employess both full time and casual workers who do get paid by Southampton Football Club

the other thing about Jacksons farms is that it does provide a revenue stream all being a small one for grazing land
