John B

On Radio Five Live at 1.30 they said he was off to West Ham

Yes that is how I see it too but lets wait and see what the true story is

No I think I said to you weeks ago surely a City the size of Southampton would always have a football team. I was worried about Pinnacle however so very pleased with the new owner.

As most fans apparently have little idea of what makes a good manager I will disregard your analysis

Well that is your problem then I am happy someone is going to take us over probably the Swiss gentleman

If you listened to Fry and Solent you would not be worried. The echo is only being dramatic

We have got a manager I thought

From a piece from Rod Liddle in the Times The best clubs ensure that the supporters don’t have to pay too much to get in and are decently treated while watching their team, but otherwise ignore the demands from the terraces. Which I think I agree with as there are so many different views from the fans

I think the MLT factor clouded the issue perhaps as the fans wanted him involved the Swiss may have not been confident in going forward but I do agree with what you are saying in general. Fry will have seen the negative comments about him and no doubt will want to say why he did certain things at least we have played two pre season games so things are not as bad as they could have been if the wages had not been paid

Yes good idea

I like him he talks sense Fans on the board Fans Trust what good are they

Rubbish

Jermaine Wright The Execs Paul Allen Nigel Pearson JP Pinnacle Illingsworth and Chorley

Did you see that other piece http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/columnists/rod_liddle/article6637739.ece Reminds me of another club after relegation from the Premiership a few years ago in some of the comments

If the choice was Pinnacle or Liquidation what would you go for?

I know we regard to Fry I always know you are to post something negative you may well be right but only time will tell. If I was told three months ago that we would have a billionaire owner in July I would have not believe it but it seems it will happen thanks to Fry

We dont know that he was duped do we we only think he was duped. At least Fry has kept the club going and paid the wages and seems to have found a really good buyer.

You dont like Fry do you Nick . Perhaps what he was saying was that it was important to get money for the wages and at the time the Swiss were not prepared to cough up money so he went with Pinnacle who he thought at the time had the rquisite financial backing. But time will tell I have an open mind and will make up my mind about Fry when more facts are known.

I think looking at the weather forecast England will go with Onions and Australia will go with four seamers If England can stop Ponting Scoring runs like we did to Hayden and Gilchrist we will have a chance

Thats how I would see it just details of the events which led Fry and the Administrators letting Pinnacle nearly in

What is your opinion of Fry now? It seems to have gone from one extreme to the other

A delusionally theory I would have

I agree but I wonder who is going to run the club and whether Leon is a winner or loser.

No change in Blue Square odds so far
