Hampshire qualified for T20 quarter Finals

I think Fry already is discussing with other buyers but nobody seems to want to buy but Pinnacle may still do so I would take it if we got out of League 1 within three years there is little chance of doing it this year I would have thought

Yes but we need a team unfortunately and we will lose more players than we gain. From looking at BBC and SKY websites other teams are building their sides and all seem to have managers. God knows how long it would take Pinnacle to get in a manager

No just under whelmed unfortunately it has just finally registered with me Div 3 - 10 points no outstanding players and a possible new regime which hopes we will succeed. Might cheer up later but really depressed now

are you really looking forward to pinnacle taking over ?

I was not expecting the deal to be signed today but we have still not had any feedback from the FL meeting. But if a respected fan like Duncan is suffering aggro I dont know whether it is worth continuing as I cannot see the club being successful in the future . What have SFC got at the moment which other clubs have not

I thought it was going to be Tuesday anyway meeting today with FL Contract to buy Saints on Tuesday

I find it strange the the Football Chairman MLT is not at the FL can anybody come up with the reason why he is not there.

I agree that MLT is/was a better footballer than LoweCrouch/Wilde but I have no idea of how he would be as a Football Chairman.

As I said yesterday nothing I heard from MF or ML during their recent interviews on SKY gave any impression on how they were going to take the club forward. Their Plan was MLT would sort it out .

Unfortunately I cannot disagree with anything you have said even if Pinnacle do finally buy the club I cannot see success being certain

I think Killer's injury led to our relegation from the Premiership. His leadership and defensive ability was sadly missing especially under Wigley's reign .

You dont seem to rate Mr Fry very much do you . Lots of companies Woolworths and LV Van company have gone bust after calling in the administrators so it is probably a common occurrence. With the lack of bids with serious money I dont think Fry could have done anything more than he has done so far. I dont think he should have sold off the assetts piece meal or sold the club to Jackson do you. At the moment the club could still be saved With the bids that I understand to have been made

I thought it was always likely that loads of players were leave after relegation not really surprising

Firstly it's hard to understand why members of the north London Jewish community would want to buy SFC. Like Bates and Ashley I would have thought to make money. £14 m for a debt free club plus Stadium with potential for Premiership seems a good deal to me probaly increase Michaels wealth

I agree Terry Paine was outstanding in Div 2 so much so that he got in to the World Cup Squad so was Chivers too - both at a young age. Thats why I would have thought that Surman Schenderlin and Lallana should have performed better last season and our failure were not fully down to the coaches but the players too

In administration the Club is a much better proposition to buy than if it was trading with debts of over £30 m and shareholders to buy from

Yes I agree but the price at the moment is very cheap if Pinnacle pay £14 Million for a debt free club and a stadium which has no mortgage payments outstanding. As another Poster has says if the club is successful it can be sold on for a large profit I would have thought

Surely as Saptain of the French U20 team it is obvious that he has the potential to be a Premiership Player like Surman and Lallana

The problem is that things change all the time and Pinnacle are dealing with the Administrators and not you. Thats why I have been relatively calm that a deal will eventually done with or without Pinnacle other fans however except to be told everything which is going on and do not accept that the circumstances I mentioned may change.

Maybe on of the consortium is worth several hundred millions of pounds perhaps the general idea of Pinnacle was to show that they had sufficient funds to buy SFC or the consortium changed I dont really see it as much of an issue.

Perhaps if you were more patient you would not have to eat humble pie. As you rightly say the fat lady has not sung yet so a takeover can still take place

I dont understand all this must have experience of the League Nigel Pearson did not neither did Dennis Wise who with only a ten point deduction would have got Leeds Promoted

I know I am unrealistic but there is so much critism based on rumour and conjecture

Yes I agree lets hope we have a club next week And if the owners dont appoint the manager we want or buy the players we want lets just support them because if they had not bought the club where would we be.
