because the football club is not in administration only the plc

The club may be sold prior to the administration but the administrator runs the PLC instead of Lowe Cowan and Jones

Your posts seem to be well thought out and presented

Crouch had £2million to spare a few months ago could he buy the club I wonder? Although he must have lost a lot because of his shares

I agree but I have decided to post again

Yes probably correct but nothing confirmed

I think you may lose your shares but they are not worth much anyway But we are still awiting firm confirmation at the moment everything is speculation But SFC maybe saved and will not lose any points

Why?

No idea but I would think not Apparently RUPERT Lowe has said the number one concern is to keep the football club alive. He says that the imminent administration of the club's parent company - Southampton Leisure Holdings PLC - has been done with the sole intention of keeping the football club safe and attracting new investors. "It's now about keeping Southampton Football Club alive. This is the only way it could have been done. "If we can stay in the Championship this club has a good chance of finding new investment. We have young players who are committed and will flourish in the future."

I thought they were judged on league position and not on debt situation

I thought you were going to tell I have been on and off the forum and have little clue SLH seems to be going in to Administration but not SFC what that means I dont know although there appear to be potential buyers But Lowe is still hated by lots of posters seems to be the one fact I am sure of

I hope so but I have no idea who has bought it

Not if we have agreed the plan with them in advance

I think we are going to be alright we are due some luck the last five years have been awful

The league are worried that lots of clubs are likely to go into Administration so they may look on us kindly

The Echo contacted the Football League have the BBC?

What meeting?

I think the Southampton content is the Responsibility of our Local BBC not Central

Newcastle is big news Again did not know about Darlington although I look at BBC News fifty times a day Everything is going to be OK McGoldrick to score five goals for us in April

Much bigger news I would have thought If I supported another club I would be more interested in Newcastle than Southampton I did not even know before today that Derby went into Administration

Yes spouting the obvious unfortunately

Thanks for putting on these two threads I was getting confused with so many threads

No not yet but probably SLH not the football club

I dont think we are deep in the mire but it is only a guess based on this from the Echo Derby County provided the precedent which has seen Saints avoid a 10-point deduction for their parent company going into administration. Back in October 2003, when ex-Saints boss George Burley was in charge at Pride Park, the Rams' parent company Derby County PLC were taken into receivership by the Co-op bank with debts of around £30m. But Derby County Football Club, a seperate organisation under the umbrella of the Derby County PLC company, were not taken into administration and had no points deduction. Within minutes of Derby County Ltd going into receivership, a consortium took over from them and that company ceased to exist. So we may have new owners

I usually agree with you but the word cancer is used widely these days in non health type issues
