Dennis Roach

Like I say nothing concrete but his name was "floating on the St Marys breeze" and I wondered if anyone had seen him at the game yesterday.

 

Don't know of he was there yesterday but I think he is a Saints fan having seen him at many games before - I believe he is also a good friend of Lowe. I hope FF that if there is any connection the breeze turns into a hurricane and blows him far from SMS.

I believe he is the money behind two new 'Gary Rhodes' restaurants in Christchurch and also a large development of luxury flats. I also believe he is/was Glenn Hoddle's agent.

 

Would not be surprising if he was involved in some way with a bid.

strangely I had a rumour given to me earlier in the season that Svens G.E agent (I cant remember the agents name, it was his sidekick) had a consortium after us.

If it is Roach I dont think he is that loaded to push us far

 

No - that is Pini Zahavi (whose name was mentioned somewhere one here yesterday)

 

I think he is known for being a "fixer" of deals as much as being a football agent

Also, Dennis Roach, as Hoddle's agent, gave him some seriously bad advice when trying secure his release from his role as head coach and enable Hoddle to take over at Spurs.

 

He basically told Hoddle to stay where he was on holiday and not return until the club had granted him permission to talk to spurs.

We must have forgiven him as he was asked to get hold of Redknapp for us when they decided to give Wigley the boot.

 

Met him and have to say he was the stereotypical football agent.

I'm sorry he didn't take you on as a client Steve but you mustn't let it warp your judgement. :)

His suntan made Ken Dulieu look positively albino!!!!!!:D

 

He wanted too much commission so went with Paul Stretford instead!!!!;)

 

 

LOL

 

Off topic but just back from Saints Ladies match in Milton Keynes, a double header won both, 3-2 and 6-0 & daughter got two. Thought it might be of interest as you were involved on arranging sponsorship for them a while back.

Sven-Goran Eriksson's agent is Athole Still.

 

He also represents Gordon Strachan and George Burley, amongst others.

 

He's a former international swimmer, and like most of the tp-line agents, started out in showibz circles.

 

His first sportig clients, if my memory serves me correctly, were Duncan Goodhew and Sharon Davies.

I do have a look in on their website from time to time (also fun to read TT's American stories LOL), but Granty should take most of the credit for arranging the sponsorship (along with a couple of others).

 

Understand they're doing alright this year.

Yes - last season was disastrous & most of the older ones have since left, so this year is made up of younger players brought through the youth teams. We had a bit of a dodgy spell recently but are back on track and are aiming for a second place spot which isn't bad for a new and young team.

 

The team have also made it through to the League Cup Final v Havant and Waterlooville on 17th May.

 

TT's reports on Saints in the Colonies always makes good reading.:)
