The Jewish Chronicle did ask this question. I don't care so long as we beat Friday's final deadline.

The most important thing is to get us out of administration first. If Fry is satisfied he has enough money to buy the club then that will do for now. Perhaps he is confident he can turn Saints fortunes around just enough to sell to someone who has more dosh, and he makes a profit. We all win. He is a football man, and sounds like he has the personality to bring it off. I am happy with any small morsels that see us survive. For now.

So after all the speculation on our new name - it's to be Southampton Lions!

...and MLT

Our travelling fans usually are quite numerous. I believe we would form the largest numbers behind Leeds, Norwich and possibly Charlton. That would make a difference to finances in other clubs. 'Should nave gone to Specsavers' Mahwhindbag isn't interested though. If we are not playing in League 1, who will replace us?

Except the fans are the customers and the club has been deprived of around 7,000 season ticket sales so far. Mahwindbag similarly has foolishly dismissed the impact that Saints travelling fans have for opposition gates.

Why is Friday 3rd July significant? Surely the publication of League 1 fixtures is the deadline. Is this 5pm this coming Friday?

It is quite shameful that poster's should vilify GM

Theo plus Martin Cranie's goal does it. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/8116495.stm In these desperate times it does make me proud that we have been able to produce talent. (Shame for other's - not us - to benefit. This is one reason why it will be criminal of Mahwindbag to oversee our extinction (imho).

The day before the FL publish their fixture list is soon. Surely Fry must accept whatever is offered by anyone then - or Aviva, Barclays and all get nothing. Club dead, Fry fails.

So close the Forum.

Well, that's more than Barclays and Aviva are likely to get now. Ring them up.

Yep.

The problem lies with the FL, whoever is preferred bidder.

Correct. But too sensible. This forum is for wind-up merchants and moaners. Best solution. Shut the forum until the deal is done.

That's what I said. Some posters on here are fueling careless irresponsible rumours and speculation that the press prints. Not helpful.

Time is on Mawhinbags side. Not TL's. The FL are the ones holding the gun.

"I have reminded that newspaper this morning that they should do research of their own rather than rely upon others feeding them information before the print inaccurate stories." QUOTE ..which the Echo gets from trawling this and other forums.

Somewhere.... over the rainbow.....

Bugger

Definition of bugger?

Where would SFC be without it's wind-ups and doom-boys? You may well be right, GM, but why you gloat bemuses me. Whatever happens, MLT has done his best, which you haven't.

And there is the issue of not being able to appeal further points deductions.

Leopard spots who, where? Kevin Keegan? At St Mary's?

If the club waives it's right of appeal, will this not compromise us should there be a further 15 points deducted out of the blue by the FL? This worries me.
