Weston Saint

A few weeks ago we did not know if we would have a club to support at the beginning of the new season. We were all hoping for a buyer to come in. Well, we now have that new owner with more money than we could ever hope for. OK, I appreciate that he will not let us spend beyond our divisional position but that I see as positive as well. We are on a firm footing and no stupid spending. We will grow and with each success we know there will be money to help us at each new level New management structure at all parts is good news as well, as is the pricing structure for season tickets. Sensibly priced to make sure our income will help balance the books. Yet still a number of supporters moan about the possible choice of Team Manager. If we have faith in all the above then let them make a judgement call on that as well and give our whole hearted support to whoever they choose. Some have said WGS was at SMS and that fuelled hopes of him as Manager. I suspect he is being paid a small consultancy fee to assist with the choice or may be he is being lined up as sporting director? Tony Adams would not be my first choice but if that is what our new owner and his team want than let's give them and him a chance. After all we are only a 3rd tier club at present and stability has to come before ambition.

Absolutely

Agree with your post Phil. He was just not good enough. I will say no more than that!

All Adam wants to do is play football. He is still not fully fit from his medial ligament tear on last day at Notts Forest. I had this from his family last night when I made contact. Give the lad a break. It was his first season in first team football.

Lol, The person who told me does not post on TSW and AO reads only. He has never posted. Thought it funny when he left that he was still reading us. May be now we know why. Well done AO.

Interesting Jan becasue I was told of his possible involvement a few weeks ago. I was told by someone with connections to SMS that when Oldknow worked there he had registered to TSW. If that is correct and the name that person gave me is correct he regularly logs into this site including today. And in case anyone asks on here or by PM, no I will not release his registered name. I have not disclosed it to anyone before and will not now. Anyway, I could be wrong but it is beginning to add up!

I will drink your health sir.

There was me thinking I could get away from all this in Banavie but no, even up here they have wireless connection!!!!!

Try the bin......but I think you knew that

All this means absolutely nothing unless it happens. I cannot get excited after all that has gone before. Let's wait and see and not make prats of ourselves by posting over hype statements.

If you do put in a bit I bet it would end up a damp squib.

You have to be joking. I am keeping my own counsel from now on as far as takeovers are concerned.

Some of Luton's was due to financial irregularities

If someone is going to post something as a journalist on a football site and expect to be believed you would expect them to get their grammar correct. What FlioridaMarlin was refering to I think was A Austrian.... It should be An Austrian

You are not the only one he was sending aggressive texts to. I know of someone who says he got one at 2:30 in the morning!! That is when I started having doubts as to the character of Mr Lynam

So still not revealing all the issues with FL. Why not? Does Mr Fry know of the issues and if they are surmountable? Mr Fry needs to throw away his copies of contracts at the overpriced offer from Pinnacle and start again.

Come on People, this is the Echo's opinion on the Swiss. They do not even know who they are FFS. The Swiss may just be waiting for an oportunity like this to walk in, renegotiate the overpriced Pinnacle offer, and in their time and under their terms complete the sale of SFC. There thats my opinion. I do not know who they are either!

I have severe doubts about Mr Crouch's judgement call when it relates to Saints because he lets his heart overrule his head. There is no doubt, however, that he is a successful business man in his own field of expertise. He has lost a lot of money in Southampton Football Club and I for one will not kick him when he is down.

Until Lynam/LeTissier come clean on all the problems they had with the FL I am going to assume that one of the alleged backers would not let his name be linked to the deal OR someone within the "group" failed the fit and proper person test. For a backer to pull out just because he could not agree matters with FL is pathetic without a full explanation or Lynam has been trying to take this forward without real backers and tricked Le Tissier.

I think I will stay calm until the end of today. If nothing happens then it is clear Matt LeTissier has been led up the garden path and used by a manipulative Lynam and his so called investors. This delay has led to the breaking up of SFC and the damage done in the last week or so may well put off other investors. In my opinion the fire sale is not for wages but a pool of money for the creditors as the club is broken up and liquidated. Salz may be able to pick up the pieces but I doubt in Div 1. Difficult to stay calm isn't it!!!!!!!

tommac and Helpmerhonda. I am hearing some strange stories about our latest suitor. Could he soon be bracketed with the above?

McGoldrick has made it clear for a while he wanted to go back to Nottingham. Surman has been told he needs to be sold to help with wages. I was told this again today. I personally think a move to Wolves will be good for him but sad to see him go. His heart is still with Southampton and another weakness to our already weak squad.

What is going on.....McGoldrick sold, Surman going to Wolves so wages can be paid! Seems to me Pinnacle are all talk but no substance. They have had 2 weeks before exclusivity, 3 weeks excusivity and now another week and we are no further forward. Why are Pinnacle saying they will do the deal but our Football Board selling players (Rhetorical)

Ah yes I had forgotten that. Good news.

Absolutely. I get a good kick from eating home grown. Might be a bit late to grow tomatoes outside now but if you have a greenhouse, go for it.
