NickG Posted 8 May, 2009 Share Posted 8 May, 2009 seems to be 3 running on this so my flawed logic says to solve that start another one! My understanding is; MJ has bid - it was first bid on the table. others have added that he has lost his investor. MLT bid is either just in or expected shortly - my understanding is this group is the favorite. There are two overseas groups who have formally notified Fry of intention to bid. One is canadian with no local connections. I do not know how these fit in with groups spoken about by other posters such as Weston and Derry and the new posters. Can I suggest this as single thread to summarise what is known and comment on all bidders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints_is_the_south Posted 8 May, 2009 Share Posted 8 May, 2009 Perhaps remove the thread on MLT confirmation on snn...etc & just have this as a sticky? I've been trying to follow that & the marc jackson thread all morning & its driving me crazy! I think i speak for all of us when i say i just wish they'd get the f*ck on with it, get the bids in, accept 1 & then we can all start talking football again.

Frank's cousin Posted 8 May, 2009 Share Posted 8 May, 2009 Maybe its true? The fact that MJ has not been on here telling us all that he will save the club means that in actual fact he is involved - I dont know what is scarier - Marc, if you are reading this, why not confirm or deny your involvement?

Offside Posted 8 May, 2009 Share Posted 8 May, 2009 If there is a Canadian bid, and a big IF as I know nothing, it is probably from Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE). Last year their CEO and CFO visited Saint Mary's amongst other clubs, and there were rumours in Canada at the time that they were interested in purchasing an English club. http://www.thestar.com/comment/columnists/article/417801 They may see Saints as very attractive at the current price; an asset they can grow. Would be amazing for Saints as MLSE is a billion dollar enterprise focused on sports teams. (Toronto Maple Leafs, Toronto Raptors and Toronto FC). There is also a slight Southampton connection as former Saint Jim Brennan is the captain of Toronto FC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh they'll let it drag on and on, no point in investing money now when there's another charity bash on the 17th to pay the wage bill for another month. If any of these candidates have serious money they didn't get it by being too quick to flash the cash. Nothing definitive for at least another 2 weeks IMO.
