Guided Missile

IMHO, he heard there was a press conference called by Fry at 2:00PM and it's one of two outcomes, ie he has a 50:50 chance of being in the know. I'm adding to that, the fact that there is a mass sale of players at or about payday and I'm thinking that for a new owner with the backing of a multi-millionaire with money to invest and closing on the deal today, that is a very strange way to start off... In other words, I would put the odds at about 100:1 against your mate being right. No disrespect...

On one hand it could be boundless joy that the takeover is...er, over. On the other hand, the tide could go out tomorrow and we find out the moneyman is boll ock naked....in which case: Matt Le Tiss becomes a flawed but still much loved Saints legend. Unfortunately, his Soccer Saturday gig will become a trifle difficult and embarassing. Leon Crouch waves bye bye to a million, without even a statue to show for it. Lynam and Fialka quickly become persona non grata in the Southampton area. Not a problem for a guy living with his Mum in Barnet, but I would imagine Tony will be checking the ferry times. Fry will become a laughing stock for giving Pinnacle the time of day, and will end up in Begbies Traynor HR department, if the Swiss, et al don't cough up. McMoneyme writes a(n) eulogy in the Echo. Saint Richmond and about three hundred other posters blame Lowe Dalek 2003 blames everyone for not selecting Hoddle as our manager in 19canteen. So, no pressure Tony....

SS, you're an inconsequential, sangria drinking ex-pat, exiled by a collapsed housing market, trapped in a lower-middle class hell, where the locals hate you and you are sentenced to a life of trying to recapture your lost life in God's country, by logging onto this website and insulting posters that have avoided your sad fate. Toodle pip, old man....and make sure you don't drink the water...

Stanley, isn't it about time you started worshipping at my keyboard, like the majority of the posters on here, do....?

Mark, I have Frank on ignore for this very reason. He's a nightmare and if he can't be bothered to proof read his posts, which takes about a minute, I'm not going to spend a minute mentally doing it for him. Or, as Frank would post - Dyslexia Rules, KO?

....more like one of the spark plugs, FFS....

Precisely....

Dear Mr. Lynam and Mr. Fialka, With my new found trust and confidence in your plans for the club, I am assuming that, despite Pinnacle having money, via Mr. Fialka and his group, for the wages this month, the sale of one, if not two of our players was discussed with Matt and Mr. Wotte and this is just the start of your 5 year plan. Please post an update if possible, as I am beginning to get nervous again....and I might not be the only one.... Also, I assume that Mr. Crouch is no longer needed for paying the wages. You haven't fallen out with him, have you?

.......and the Swiss.....

Hope everyone likes Pinnacle!!! Likely you need a moneyman. He assures Saints a great united new age together. Many years healing enemies and debts.

I'm going to have to cut and paste that gem, if you don't mind, Wes....

Tony Lynam suggested as much, as reported in the Times:

Then let me try. Pinnacle doesn't have to tell me squat about what the source of their funds are and the proof of those funds. BUT, when they use this website or other media outlets to say they have the funds, but then refuse to provide any futher details, on the basis that it is none of our business, they can hardly b! tch if it makes people suspicious. I, however, have now taken the position that if Tony Lynam says that Michael Fialka has access to over £14M in cleared funds and that Mr. Fry is satisfied, I will suspend my disbelief and stop any form of mild abuse on this inconsequential and lightweight forum, until someone proves otherwise. I truelly hope that Pinnacle are able to deliver the funds, so that the staff at St. Marys and the players are paid, before the club goes into meltdown.

Deja Vu...

Hi Tony, Forgive me for the delay in replying, but your post was only recently read by my assistant, as my current business activities keep me very busy and it makes sense to delegate such activities. I am sure you understand. My apology was made for the mistaken impression I had, that the person that was behind your bid, Mr. Fialka, has a net worth which is accurately reflected in the accounts he submits to Companies House, for the only two limited companies of which he is a director. I was unaware that he has a "formal agreement" with other anonymous backers that allows him access to far greater funds, that will enable him to take ownership of our club. I am impressed with the generousity of these backers and I am sure that he will enjoy, in the future, our away fixtures at White Hart Lane, as you will at Anfield. Let's hope these games happen in the not too distant future! Thank you for clearing this up on Sky Sports News and correcting the local papers' mis-information. In business, I am more used to a transparent demonstration of funds, in order to help with my decisions regarding business dealings. Many banks require this as well, when deciding on lending criteria, but it is refreshing that Mr. Fry is able to rely on a more liberal net worth measure of people and consortia, than I am. In preparation for your takeover on Monday or Tuesday, now that you have removed the impediment that the Football League was placing in it's way, I would join with you, in calling for all Saints fans to support you, when the formalities are completed and when the season starts. You can rely on myself and my small company to continue our sponsorship, which has given us more highs than lows over the last couple of years. As you say, I look forward to a beer or two with you, when this happens. Best Wishes for next week to you and Michael and I hope the money transfer happens quickly for the wonderful staff at the club, who have always been efficient and friendly when I have had the opportunity of dealing with them, Regards, GM

In all sincerity, I am very happy that it appears the the Pinnacle bid will go through following their acceptance of the Football League's position. I have had a number, a large number, of instances of being wrong in my life, largely due to the large size of my mouth and the small size of my brain, but, given my deep love for Southampton Football Club, my passion, on this occasion, swamped my judgement. That judgement seems to have been wrong and Mr. Fialka and his North London friends appear to have access to the £14M that will save our club, together with an investment plan that will help put the club back in the Premiership. I apologise, unreservedly to Mr. Lynam and Mr. Fialka for the abuse that I have posted and hope that by supporting the club when they take over, I will be able to make amends. Finally, I was made aware that I called Mr. Fialka a "dustbin lid". This deeply upset one of our posters who is married to a black lady and has mixed race children. He believes that that comment makes me the worst type of racist, one that didn't know he was one. I am very sorry to him and to Mr. Fialka if they found the term offensive and racist. Please forgive me in the future for any words I use that also rhyme with offensive terms. I hope that in the spirit of reconciliation, all those that thought Mr. Fialka and Mr. Lynam were "potless" join me in apologising....

I wonder where your thread went, Dunc.... It seems that someone is getting nervous. Is it the mods or Mr. Lynam? That email really needs to be provided to Crouch's lawyer, IMHO....the Echo don't really need any more ammunition.

Actually, I had f all to drink. I was working on a business deal and needed a break. Just shows how pi $$ed off I am. Oh and less of the old....

Actually as I started the thread, how the f*** could the quote you provided be the answer to a question, as it was at the start of the thread. Actually, I'm off to have a brandy and then about two hours of sex.... ...I need a real life for a change, instead of an incessant battle of wits with unarmed posters...

No...

The problem is, Block Head, you're confusing me with someone that give a sh !t about your whiney arsed, liberal, mealey mouthed, ill informed, humourless, beard stroking, pipe smoking, slipper wearing opinion...

I would explain it, Stanley, but I can't be asked, TBH for two reasons. I have never claimed a fraud. You're an unpleasant piece of knob cheese.

I've had enough of this club and its fans, to be honest. It's like seeing your wife getting raped. Meanwhile, internet Saints "fans" fawn over a potless Irishman and his equally potless London mate, while they fiddle with her bra. This dustbin lid is obviously a total nutjob, yet him and Frank Carson are given the time of day by supposed professionals. If neither of them have any money, what the f*** do they bring? Arse ache, that's all....
