Gillico per chance?

£4.4bn?

Administrators in charge of Southampton are confident of concluding the sale of the stricken club imminently. A Swiss consortium is believed to be the front-runner to complete a takeover at St Mary's after the Matt Le Tissier-backed Pinnacle group pulled out this week. "We currently are very confident that a sale will be achieved and that this process will be concluded very shortly," said Fry. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/football-league/swiss-group-set-to-acquire-stricken-saints-1731020.html

Gillico Ltd http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/4475211.Bradford_man_in___12m_club_bid/

Yeah that's Gillico Ltd, he's the sole director. Echo says Swiss still front runners and could be announced as early as Monday as owners, once final paperwork has been completed and signed off.

Flybe has trumped EasyJet & BA to become the UK's biggest domestic airliner. Flybe said its market share was at an all time high. Got any spare dosh?

Ah ok, didn't know if you were Vic Mackey who lives round the corner from me.

Big piece on Gillico in the Echo with quotes from Batchelor. Batchelor refused to say if any former Saints directors were involved though. One or two potential managers identified. Group consists of a guy in property, a guy in engineering, a guy in sport and a guy in development. All 4 will be on the board of directors if successful. Richard Williams non executive chairman. Batchelor will only be involved in commercial matters.

I can't pm you Vic so i'll ask here, are you female?

In todays Echo, Mark Wotte has warned clubs Lallana won't be cheap. Wolves want him for £500k, however that is way below the value of up to £5m being talked up in January.

Shocking, bad Echo, even though Mark Wotte says "Jo Tessem is training with us. He tried to get in a year ago but then we had a lot of young and promising players and the older ones so didn't allow it" "He was training for 4 weeks in Elfsborg who offered him a contract, but he's living here so we thought we'd give him a chance". Well done Echo on copying it from the forum

Don't worry, as long as it's not Rupert James Graham Lowe.

Scantily clad women puffed out.

Will Totton be donating all gate receipts to Saints?

I'm sure i'm better at it tbf

That's a good thing, i've been able to have a shave and now i'm eating, nom nom nom
