Saint Billy

Thank you for those words Mr Lynam and for all the hard work you and your team have put in to keep sfc alive. It is obvious that already your future plans are re-uniting a long divided fan base by the inclusion of our legend MLT and the fact that we will have just one owner. I would also like to give my thanks to Leon Crouch who kept the wolves from the doors and enabled your bid to progress and hopefully conclude. A true saint! Finally, can I wish the new owner in waiting all the best for the future. After suffering many years of division and heartbreak as fans of sfc I think you will find that he will be welcome with open arms.

Very sad, RIP Andy

Although happy beyond belief that hopefully we will now have a team to support, I am concerned about the small amount of preparation time we will have on and off the field. For one, if we need to get in some new players depending on who goes, we may be left with the pickings. Organising friendlies is going to be tricky.

I think many of us missed your post in the pure relief of still being alive, but thanks for that. Appreciated!

Just wondered, why is it a requirement that the identity of the backer/s is not known? Is it a requirement in this situation ie admin? If it is the backer who has requested anonymity,why? I am not fishing, I am curious, it just seems that every other buyout, takeover, rescue that we hear about we get to hear who the players are. If it is so top secret how is it that some on here know the identity? Happy but puzzled!

Was this the name you were alluding to this morning? If so, thanks, you made me look a right tit!

Bloody hell I missed it! Have shed a little tear from one eye but will save the other for when it is well and truly done! Great news for all the staff as well.

Just a little history about the guy called Little John

Agreed!

Hi Nick, this is only a deduction I made from DD's clues but seems to fit. Google John Mecom, Jr.

John Mecom, Jr?

American NFL football team owner? New Orleans Saints play in black and Gold and the owner is nicknamed Little John.

Too bloody true!

I dont think St mary's is built on an ancient burial ground as such but something is definitely dying there.

I have finally discovered golf and that manages to take my mind off the ****e happening to sfc, just a little bit. Mind you, they are both equally frustrating.

Not funny mate.

I thought Crouch was covering the wages.

It did cross my mind tbh. Thank god we play better when our games are not televised.........oh

Oh well thats that then for today, I suppose I could watch the millionares kick a ball about tonight in the certainty that there will be no announcement in the meantime. Do I sound bitter? fecking right I do when the value of just one of the players playing in the champions league final tonight would get us out of the ****e and more.

Hype in the morning, feck all in the afternoon. Same thing every day. Really really getting sick of this.

God knows!! In fact I am going to get on me knee's and ask him, bet I'll get as load of spin from him aswell.

Are you calling me a *anker, how rude! True though!

Nothing is wrong with Pinnacle apart from, monday MJ were front runners(supposedly), yesterday and up and to now the Irish bid were front runners and now we are back to the Pinnacle group. All very confusing and frustrating, My first sexual experience was not as up and down as this!

:confused:
