I think the point being made is more theoretical than practical. As you say there is absolutely no evidence that Markus will not be a good owner. However we dont really know him and it is possible that the club will not be run the way we want. I am not certain how the club will be run and how the decision to buy and sell players will be made in the past it was probably made on financial reasons only

Duncan's point is it is not

I think Duncan does not like after 125 or so years to have one person owning the club. He has mentioned this on a number of occassions I tend to agree with him. However as there was no alternative we will have to live with it

I think Duncan was making a valid point that the club is owned by ML and he can do whatever he wants It is his club

Perhaps he has GOAL 1-0 Saints take the lead as Adam Lallana picks up the ball from 25 yards out and unleashes a low shot which arrows into the bottom left corner for the first Saints goal of the Alan Pardew era.

On the Pitch ?

Or at Lords watching Hampshire

It is like a morgue on the Forum as well

Holmes and Schenderlin missing

219 9 after 50 overs Ervine injured

As expected probably need CB Striker 2 Midfielders

The problem was not really Pinnacle it was the fact we were in Administration and the Creditos wanted as much money as possible and thought Pinnacle could deliver But it would probably have cost us about 2 to 3 weeks

How about Dominic Cork:D

Ten minutes ago I read on the BBC Website that we are in for a high run chase Well what do they know

It is live on the Test Match Special Channel

As a matter of interest what was the 1st dullest question before I asked this question?

Unfortunately things do not always go to plan but surely at sometime there was credible backing for the Pinnacle deal. I felt uneasy with all the MLT hype as I did not think he has what is needed to be chairman and when I heard Mike F and Tony L talk of the future I was completely underwhelmed. However the fans were really happy but did not know what was happening in the buying process to a large extent we still dont Perhaps Markus was not pushing to hard enough to buy the club because of the MLT hysteria but because of it we may lost all probability of promotion this season

Statistically what are the odds of this happening?

I think he probably knows

Bale?

Perhaps the other teams in Div 1 have the same strategy to get promoted

They wanted to save money in order to reduce the debt Irrelevant of what happened to the team

Having never seen him play or never even heard of him I am not able to comment on his suitability But 33 does seem to be a bit old

perhaps there is nothing to moan about at the moment
