Wotte has acted with great dignity diring this whole debacke and has done his best for SFC. Whether he stays as manager permanetly is for others to decided, but I do hope they can find a place for him at the club. He has been the only thing we can be proud of so far this summer. The bloke has a spine and has loyalty. Fair play to him.

The 1-1 draw at Orient when went went up in the 70's. I was lucky enough to squeeze out of the crowd just before the wall collapsed and walked off the pitch with the players...an awesome night.

Blimey Duncan, you do go to extemes don't you? Perhaps it is tough to go from a spat with a villian to a spat with a hero and be treated the same, but perhaps it is the way you approach people that hacks them off rather than the people themselves? I expect MLT was as gutted as everyone and probably felt very foolish and let down. I don't know what you said to him or how you said it, but it was probably not what was needed at that point in time.

I agree 100%. But a caste iron reason why "fans" are not the best people to run a football club. Thanks for all you have done for the club Leon but please stay away from the decision making processes in future!

People on here give people like GM and Jonah an awful lot of stick, but guess what, they are usually right. They don't get fooled by all the hype as most fans do time and time again. Give them grief if you want, but next time someone wants to take over this club, look very hard at what they have to say. It is all very well shooting the messenger, but sometimes you need to listen to what the messenger has to say before pulling the trigger!!!

If we take one lesson from this it should be never trust people who conduct their business on an internet chat forum!!!! First Wilde, now Lynam...arghhhhh!!!!!

Is it Alpine?

Don't worry, the same people on hear will be wailing and gnashing their teeth when he turns out to be a decent Prem player - which he could well do. I think he was bought with a view for selling on to make money. Good luck to him.

I am from South London by birth and as the previous poster said the term "dustbin lid" always meant "kid".

Starting off 10 points adrift is not helpful, but if you are serious about buying a football club doesn't that just become another short term hurdle, like getting rid of lots of rubbish players? Whether we have a strong legal case or not, SFC effectively ran out of mulah so take the hit and build for the future FFS. We are never going to beat the FL on this on in a month of Sundays. Pinnacle, if you are serious about our club, prove it and do the bloody deal.

I think the bigger pictures has something to do with "show us the money". Frankly at this poing 10 points means nothingto me, I am more concerned with Pinnacle and what Pinnacle actually is, because it is certainly not Matt Le Tissier.

Ottery dear chap, I know you are away with the faeries but this is a bit rich. If you had ever bother to read Jonah's post you would know that he was not a great fan of Lowe and was more than happy to see him gone if replaced with someone better. Jonah was very sceptical about the Wilde Bunch and his insticts proved to be 100% right. Any Sanits supporter worth his salt should be wary of any situation that does not smell right. To date I think more and more people are getting cold feet over Pinnacle. Face it, with Matty on board the outfit would be getting ripped to shreads by now, in fact it is already starting!!

It was a very clever move getting Matty involved. If he puts his name to something we are bound to follow because of his hero status. TL is doing the man of the people bit and keeping people happy here (what about the fans who do not have internet access) but other than these two and the word that Crouch will also be on the board, what on easrth do we know about the money man? Nothing. Without Matty's involvement I would be treating this in the same way I would Marc Jackson's efforts. I appreciate that these things take time, but this is taking an age. I wil treat this from now as the Paul Allen hoax and only finally believe it when the ink is dry on the page.

If Marc Jackson sorts himself out tomorrow it could all be academic!!!!

It is one thing trusting Matt, but what if he is being used?

Given what happened last time I am very much with GM here. Something doesn;t seem quite right and I would feel a lot more comfortable if we knew who the money man is. Just because MLT is on board doesn't mean that it is kosher. A great many people were taken in by Wilde, would it be so strange for Matt to be taken in by someone? I hope it is all kosher, that the deal will go through today and everything will be wonderful...but I am certainly not going to start waving flags yet.

You understood WGS????

Whilst 10 points is not huge, the principle is I'm afraid. The FL will not want to lose this one. They obvioulsy don't fancy the legal battle and will do all they can to prevent one, hence blackmail.

Leon Crouch's heart is obviously in the right place but he does have a dose of foot in mouth disease. If it is true that he is to get a place on the Board then I pray that they make sure he has a gagging order!!!

I would go along with that. The appointment would certainly galvanise the club. Something that is sorely needed.

But he has acted in a decent and professional manner and obviously cares about the club, so sue him!

"Can you lay your hands on £25 million quid?"

And when they were given a chance things got so much better.....

Couldn't agree more. The biggest single reason we went down (closely followed by Claus's appalling dip in form that year).

I remember his last game in the 1966 World Cup. It was against Mexico and he nearly scored with a diving header. As you say, his time was done when Sir Alf opted to do away with wingers from the next match onwards...to be fair to him though it did work!
