Bucks Saint Posted 29 June, 2013 Share Posted 29 June, 2013 Iniesta rescues former club. Not all of them are money grabbing self obsessed t#ssers then: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/barcelona-news-andres-iniesta-come-2007110 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 29 June, 2013 Share Posted 29 June, 2013 A decent gesture but a few points here. Firstly its a loan not a gift, secondly, he's a shareholder so if they went into admin he'd lose his shares so would cost him money and thirdly £200k is to him is like us loaning them a couple of hundred quid. Not knocking him for it but its not the selfless gesture it might initially appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananaman Posted 29 June, 2013 Share Posted 29 June, 2013 On a slightly unrelated note. Lee Holmes was the nicest footballer I have ever met (all be it not the most famous) really bloody nice bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes take some of your points but its not unusual even for the mega wealthy - even Markus turned his loans into equity, rather than a straight gift. His shares must be worthless anyway - tiny club clearly barely solvent, so I dont think his gesture was motivated by that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucks Saint Posted 29 June, 2013 Author Share Posted 29 June, 2013 Not all footballers are here for the cash. Which many of our current / prospective signings are suggested to be. Plus, if you dont care, dont post. Simple Simo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Majestic Channon Posted 29 June, 2013 Share Posted 29 June, 2013 Scott minto deserves a mention, he works as a volunteer ferrying old folk about in a minibus. as for the most down to earth i've personally met that would be gordon watson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Warrior Posted 29 June, 2013 Share Posted 29 June, 2013 Nothing to do with saints but this is the lounge . The mirror have spun this story and as someone has already said . It's only a loan and he is a shareholder . Enough said .i wonder if he has an interest clauses added to the loan ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Gotsmanov Posted 29 June, 2013 Share Posted 29 June, 2013 Emile Heskey helped to bail out Leicester when they needed help. A great man in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Warrior Posted 29 June, 2013 Share Posted 29 June, 2013 Sergei if he did that then fine . But a mate and I went to watch saints up there and after the game we tried to speak to him . He told us to f*** off and had no time for away fans . He had to minders with him . All we were after was his autograph and have few words with him . So you will appreciate I have no time for that donkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucks Saint Posted 30 June, 2013 Author Share Posted 30 June, 2013 James Beattie once bought me a beer. Ha. So did Neil Heany. After I pointed out he had played crap that day. Top guy though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokyo-Saint Posted 30 June, 2013 Share Posted 30 June, 2013 That is pretty much what I said to Beattie. There could be a pattern here. If you want a free pint, tell a footballer he played **** at the weekend and shouldn't be out drinking. After we had our 'chat' he went on that big scoring spree. I take 73.5% of the credit.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 30 June, 2013 Share Posted 30 June, 2013 Paul mariner was a good bloke, had a few nights out with him as my mate knew him. Don't know if he did any charity stuff, but he liked a bevy, hard rock and had an eye for the ladies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
