Guided Missile

This is what you meant to post, Duncan....

May I add that the damage the Saints Fans Trust did to our club was highlighted in this blast from the past: The main problem was that the Saints Trust was only representing a few hundred, out of touch, impressionable Lowe haters who believed that every Saints' fan thought like them. Easily manipulated by Wilde and quickly betrayed by him, many of them now congratulate Barclays for pulling the plug, when, if it was destroying the club they wanted, they should be thanking Wilde and his wasteful spending spree. Why does the Trust now issue a rallying cry, when a year ago, with their messiah Wilde returning as chairman, it may have made a difference and avoided the inevitable relegation we now face? Simple, really. Following a class inspired agenda that included a deliberate destruction of 94% of the club, to get rid of the 6% they hated, the majority of Saints fans realised what the Trust stood for. Now the damage has been done, all that is left is a battle to save face, while a few dreamers fight over the corpse....

To be fair, it took me 5 minutes at a cost of £2 on Companies House. Mind you, I have had experience of seeing through bullsh!t: Posted: Sat Jun 24, 2006 3:36 pm Thank Mike for the information and I am glad to hear that the plc he controls is growing from strength to strength. A couple points of clarification, if possible, as I am sure you want to get away from the computer to enjoy the sun in Jersey. 1. Do you intend to run Southampton Leisure plc with similar borrowing and thus interest coverage as you do Merlion plc and also a similar dividend policy? 2. £1,008,378 in dividends was taken out of Merlion plc in the financial year ending December 31st, 2003. Taxable profits before taxation were £569,069. Did you get the 50% round the wrong way that year?

Because they're just fans with no money and no clue. If they were smart, they'd all be rich...

REL's Cashflow is interesting: Over a million a year just to service the debt! I can only assume he loaned £91M to his group of companies, personally. (Then again, probably not)

The train wreck that explains why Stuart Robinson could not buy the portakabin at Fratton Park... Mindblowing....

Errrr...yes he is short of a bob or two. Actually he's short of over £1.5M...

Take it from me, his group of companies are fu Cked...

Total assets of £89M and short term debts of £91M.

His real company is even worse. The group accounts show a net loss of nearly £1.5M and a negative worth of the same. A real train wreck and the end of the Trust Bid, I would say...

Correct. Wrong bunch. Must be another dodgy company with a similar name.

The problem may be related to the fact that REL Ltd. was struck off and dissolved on 02/12/2008 according to Companies House.

You're the one living in a PO postcode!

I have seen some old photos of the Romanys that lived in Sholing and I can tell you they look nothing like the Irish travellers you are talking about (nor Brad Pitt, for that matter. He's American.)

An eye opening journey for me, really and one that has told me so much about the opportunities this country can bring. I spent some time researching my male line back to the 16th century from a now extinct village, just outside Chilworth, from which my name derives (think Tanners Brook, Millbrook, Monks Brook). Like many of us, most of my ancestors were involved in farm labour, an industry that employed the majority of the population at the time. The most interesting part of the exercise has been my recent search along my female lineage, from my grandmother. I ended up with a great, great, great-grandfather called "Blind" Solomon Stanley. He was an elder of the Stanley gypsy family that lived in caravans on Sholing Common, not 100 yards from the house I was brought up in. I used to play around the Millers Pond area when I was a kid, oblivious of the fact that his eldest daughter, my great great grandmother, did the same, while he was sitting in front of a camp fire, making baskets to sell in the area. I was also oblivious of the fact that like many in Sholing, I used the term "mush" all the time, without knowing is Romany for man. Blind Solomon was tried for the murder of his first wife, whom he killed in a drunken argument at a campsite just outside Portsmouth, narrowly escaping the hangmans noose, after the judge directed the jury to find him not guilty. The Stanley tribe used to spend the summer in Wickham to collect the willow used for the construction of the tents, they then pitched in the New Forest. There's a Solomon Lane, by the common today. So, here I sit, contemplating the deep roots that I have in Southampton, but also, the social mobility afforded by this great country, that allows a descendent of Romany immigrants, who once lived in England under the threat of hanging, for just for being gypsies, to reach the point I'm at today. Without this knowledge, I remember complaining bitterly about the gypsies that set up a camp on Wickham Common, as they had done for centuries, before the local council moved them on. I also remember thinking about the residents of Botany Bay Road, living in their caravans without a thought that I was related to people just like them. My perspective has been totally changed by the self knowledge I have gained, in seeking exactly who I think I am. I'm from Sholing, mush and proud of it...

I nearly spat my cornflakes out. Either he was still plastered from last night or is losing the plot... Listen here

Micah Hall is like a forensic scientist turning up 4 years after a murder. It was obvious to anyone that Pompey's balance sheet was built on pure fantasy and that it was unsustainable, back in 2008. Still, I'm sure the above post was not specific enough and you lot prefer to read the details about a crime after it's happened, rather than preventing it.

I make that the Irish 1, the Scots 1 and the English 3. Who are ya, who are ya...?

Now all we need is a timetable for the referendum on leaving the EU and my day will be complete. A yes for an independent Scotland within the EU and a yes vote for an independent England outside the EU, with much ROFL all round...

Possibly happened following this ill-advised article:

Audio recording from a 1975 show, "Saviles' Travels", that has surfaced, in which a young girl can clearly be heard imploring him to "Get off my backside". Always thought he was a complete creep. At least he can be found guilty without the ordeal of victims being cross examined by his high paid lawyers. Explains why he had vile in his name...

Looking on the bright side, it's reported that she passed her Maths oral with flying colours...

I had a chat with Antony Fanshawe yesterday. A great guy with a wicked sense of humour. He has already warned the Pompey trust to decide "when to draw a line under things". He still thinks that Birch is more interested in liquidation, as he then gets to bleed the £3M in parachute payments instead of Chanrai getting his mitts on it. The trust has had zero help from anyone and he had nothing but contempt for the way they have been treated by the Premier League, with regard to the parachute payments, post a potential liquidation, and the Football League, who are just a collection of clueless old farts, according to him. Good luck to the trust, but they should respect the advice they are getting from Antony. He's a clever guy and I think now is the time for them to get the hell out....
