Would certainly be a unique figure in football then.No other club has an owner that fits those criteria.What's the point of buying a circus if your name isn't plastered all over the big top??. If you want to hide from the public gaze there's no doubt more money to be made out of a sardine canning factory somewhere down in West Africa.

Perhaps Crouch is chipping in 2 million eh. Perhaps Mr X just wanted to pay 13 million but Fry wanted 15,so to avoid any further squabbling,Crouch out o' the kindness of his heart chipped in 2,a seat on the "board being his reward.

But why is there "a board" at all in that case. Why can't Mr X just front up ,say who he is, pay up and appoint a team to run the business for him. Why had he got to hide behind all these people for god's sake.Gaydamak might not be everybody's slice of cake but at least it was clear down there.Storrie ran the club and we must presume Gaydamak told him what he wanted. End of .

too much one day batting in 4 day matches no doubt. It's what happened to the W.Indies in the recent 2 test series.One day cricket and 4 day cricket should take place in seperate parts of the season.First 1 day from April to late June and then 4 day afterwards.

In theory it isn't possible but I suspect that our new owner might not be a young man and the fact that Lynam,who is a young man,seems favourite to be CEO might give certain persons,with football experience, the idea of a sort of slow mutiny from within.Personnely, and that's why I'm posting this, because it is just my uneducated opinion, I don't like the sound of any of it, not Crouch, not MLT not Lynam. I'd rather the new owner appointed his own men to do the job and call upon these others as paid advisers for certain situations.I fear a lapse back into chaos if it's any other way.

Share losses are certainly tax deductable,well they are everywhere else,and no doubt the UK is fairly conformist as well.Al 3 wil have or will be claiming their share losses against IT for the next 2 years, I certainly shall be.

He's been a constant applecart upsetter since he got involved with the club at board level; I just want and end to all of them,Lowe,Wilde,Crouch,and all the others, that none of them ever darken the club's boardroom doors again.Because if they do they'll all be a scheming to take control again,no matter what the club's situation or who owns it.Crouch may be a good guy but he has unmasked his driving desire to rule the roost at SFC a few times.l

No idea about UK tax law,you can be certain Mr Crouch has though.

And would those monies be tax deductable?? Crouch probably pays nigh on a million a year in tax,so if he gives some to Saints rather than the taxman it's no skin off his nose is it?

At this moment in time we don't really have a team,it is now about 30days (or less) to the first pre-season game.Who'd want to take on that situation rather than stay with a club that he's got promoted to the same level in 2 seasons.Believe you me managing Southampton FC next season will be a big,thankless and difficult job,few will fall over themselves to give up a job that they already have to take it. Wotte or Cotteril, therein lies the choice,unless we go route 3 Nick Holmes.

there again 3 scottish clubs managed before Man U,gradually working his way up the ladder.

Hughes managed Wales for 5 years before he got a club job, Wales is about League 2 standard so he had time to learn.i

Shearer's complete lack of grasp of defensive play led to Newcastle getting relegated, it was so gong-ho that it was unbelievable.He needs to learn the trade in the conference or something,as far as I can remember strikers turned managers have a woeful record when they are directly parachuted into the top flight.Is any of the top managers now a former striker?

to do what? Couldn't keep Newcastle up with some really good players so what exactly he'll be expected to do at WBA beats me.

So to sum this up then. Next season we will have a club run by Lynam,MLT,Crouch and presumably some accountant or other and managed by Shearer. Oh brave new world. And there was me hoping that we were going to have some experienced people on the job.It really does sound like the Teddy Bear's Picnic, everything to please the fans and very little to get a very difficult job done.Still it's only rumour and speculation thankfully.

Because he'll be looking higher up than the 3rd division,Tisdale will probably stay at Exeter rather than fall into the bear-trap that wil be SFC under the new regime, we'll get there but we're on minus -10 and the fans will probably turn on any manager that doesn't win every game 6-0.If I was a manager I'd think long and hard about next season at SFC,fan's expectations will be very high and the knives come out pretty easily down at SMS. Cotterill is my favourite for the job.

Looks like they've been sniffing the printing ink down there again,apart from Cotterill and Wotte all the rest are non-starters.

A mangement team of Magilton and Gorman then,If i was a betting man I'd wager large on QPR being well down the CCC table next season.

Didn't doubt for one minute that he'd wheedle his way back into the boardroom. Perhaps he is the new owner,the mega rich publicity shy mystery man being just another smoke screen.Wouldn't surprise me,anyway as long as there are no more Gorman and Dodds.... what does it matter.

But what will happen to the money? Will it go just to pay more to creditors and then the new owners whack on top as well?. My what a fine job Fry seems to be doing, encourage procrastination and sell as much as you can on the side during the process.

But is he still owned by some strange third party or other. I think it's the case. It's a declared loan and he has a contract with M.U but I don't think they actually own him,neither do West Ham.Apparently these sort of wierd deals are more common than we would like to think.Not saying it has any bearing on the Schneiderlin case though, french papers are notorious for wrong end of the stick getting anyway but it's not got to Sun or Mirror proportions-yet. However if it starts appearing in L'Equipe it probably has some substance, L'Equipe knows stuff and doesn't get very much wrong, even though those concerned say they do.

Who actually owns Tevez now anyway?

Euell and BWP have left the club, probably won't be back,well we can live in hope anyway. On the other hand Saga and Rasiak are stil here with ongoing contracts.

Perhaps he's been reading Le Parisien!! Their latest rumour said that Arsenal were going to sell him to Lille. They have the strangest idea that Arsenal paid Strasbourg for him and loaned him to us under some sort of strange deal for 2 or 3 years.Anyway Lille have recently sacked their manager and it's probably a load of bx.But this Arsenal paid for him thing keeps going around and around and popping up in strange places.I did hear (and it's only hearsay) that the French FA don't want him playing in Div 3 though.

Not so Arizona, Paterson cost a fair bit (about 1.3 million in all) and I don't doubt that his contribution made Burnley what they are.Plus getting good Man U rejectrs like Eagles.A lot of goal scoring density no doubt helped.
