david in sweden Posted 8 April, 2009 Share Posted 8 April, 2009 (edited) BBC story states that Salisbury are up for sale - for £1. Not quite Saints story - I know, but another club in trouble and they can be bought for considerably less than Saints. A great shame, especially as former Saint (and 1976 FA Cup winner) Nick Holmes is manager. Nick has done a great job with getting his side into the Conference League - and holding a midtable position - Last seasons cup run entended to two games v. Notts Forest before being defeated and this season despite crippling debts and (like Saints) having to loan out / sell players to keep the wage bill down. Hope someone can step in and help them, too.

J Bizzle Posted 8 April, 2009 Share Posted 8 April, 2009 the situation there was a hell of a lot worse than saints'. They loaned out their whole 1st team and played the reserves/youth. A few years ago they nearly folded and if a buyer is not found soon i think this time they will collapse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scummer Posted 8 April, 2009 Share Posted 8 April, 2009 Would I be right in thinking that Salisbury are owned by Jonathan Marland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridge too far Posted 8 April, 2009 Share Posted 8 April, 2009 Would I be right in thinking that Salisbury are owned by Jonathan Marland? So - let me get this straight - there are two football clubs in the South [whose (erstwhile) directors are connected] who are in financial straits? Well, suck my plums and jar my jellies!

benjii Posted 8 April, 2009 Share Posted 8 April, 2009 Can I just say, that there is no way in the world that Nineteen Canteen is Lord Marland. I heard Lord Marland on the radio once and he came across as fairly intelligent and articulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottery st mary Posted 8 April, 2009 Share Posted 8 April, 2009 A Lowe Marland reverse take over on the cards.....Mind you Salisbury would be a local Derby in a couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david in sweden Posted 8 April, 2009 Author Share Posted 8 April, 2009 If we're liquidated lets just buy them and start in the conference. That sounds funny Adrian, BUT..if we had a few million, instead of an overdraft .... a Prem. side might use them as a nursery side and feeder for new talent. Half a hour on the motorway and the whole of the West Country as scouting territory..... Ah well ......just dreams.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 8 April, 2009 Share Posted 8 April, 2009 It would be ironic if a potential buyer could afford the £ but couldn't raise the £4.60 bus fare to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 9 April, 2009 Author Share Posted 9 April, 2009 What motorway ? Well part of the trip is motorway I suppose, the rest is the horse and cart ride into the Cathedral area, but it isn't that far is it ? Let's not pretend it's a metropolis.

Barry Horne Posted 9 April, 2009 Share Posted 9 April, 2009 I`ve just heard that longlifesaint is scratching around to put together a consortium to raise the pound. That's probably pretty close to the truth! He's scrabbling about in Barry's briefcase as we speak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
