Sorry TDD it would take waaaay to long. Basically we went into admin, and are roughly a week from folding completely. You missed a fantastic atmosphere at Forest though despite the fact we conceeded 3 goals in the last 17 minutes and lost 3-1.

 

Rumours abound that a group called Pinnacle are close to buying us and they have got MLT supporting them. If they get in looks like he will have a role at the club which can only be good news.

 

One other rumour you will NOT believe is that Mark Jackson (LLS) is involved with one of the bids and they are said to still be in the running. Anything else you wish to know?

Yes he is in charge. no idea if he'll go as we don't have an owner.

We will start next season on minus 10. Mark Fry (administrator) said we would appeal but nothing has been done yet by the looks of things. General consensus is that we'd fail in an appeal anyway.

 

has lowe, wilde, crouch ALL gone..?

 

Yep.

 

is the ground or the club secure from turning into dust..??

 

No. not yet.

 

cheers

 

You've missed lots of ITK's who happen to know diddley, and a lot of painful 15 page threads about what's going to happen "next Friday"

Wotte is still here though could possibly be off. It all depends who our new owners are (if we get any). He is carrying on as normal though and I think the general consensus is he should be kept on as possible maybe as reserve team coach. I quite like him.

 

has anyone been lined up?

 

If you mean manager wise everything is up in the air until we get new owners. Some people think that could be tomorrow.

 

do we have 10 points deduction..??????if so when?

 

Yep and have done for a number of weeks now just before the Burnley game. The parent company is in admin but not the football club but following a forensic review of of our accounts the FA concluded that they were inextricably linked and so admin of the parent company is the same as admin of the football club. This is VERY suspect (especially conidering West Ham has done the same thing and nothing was said) and anyone potentially taking over is seeking legal advice to see if they can get this overturned. If not we start league one on -10.

 

has lowe, wilde, crouch ALL gone..?

 

Yep! Though Crouch has given 50K to help keep SFC afloat whilst we look for a buyer. Other rumours are that he has also pledged a 350K loan as well.

is the ground or the club secure from turning into dust..??

 

Certainly not at the moment though as I said it could be tomorrow. It is now overdue the time that the administrator said we would be out of this so people are worrying. If we don't find a buyer before the 21st (when wages are due) then we can say that is definitely it. The club will fold and we will either start again in the Wessex league or I think someone spoke to the blue square about going in there.

 

cheers

1. Yes, at the moment at least.

 

2. Who knows? Depends on putative new owners, I guess.

 

3. Highly unlikely I'd have thought, though also depends on putative new owners.

 

4. Yes, as of start of next season. All depending on legal manoeuvres though.

 

5. It would seem so, though others have their own views on that (and nothing is certain at the moment).

 

6. Buggered if I know...

 

Oh yes - welcome back.

At the moment, not sure if the takeover happens.

 

has anyone been lined up?

 

There have been several supposed potential bidders, but the one that seems most likely is the one brought together by the Pinnacle group which MLT is supporting.

 

do we have 10 points deduction..??????if so when?

 

Yes, next season.

 

has lowe, wilde, crouch ALL gone..?

 

Once SLH went into admin they had to resign as directors.

 

is the ground or the club secure from turning into dust..??

 

It is secure if the takeover is succesful but info on this is all a bit vague, we might know more tomorrow as it is rumoured that there may be an announcement, but dont get too excited as we have had several false dawns.

 

cheers

 

Hope this helps

In a nutshell TDD - we have been sinking faster than you...!! Worry not though LLS has swam to our rescue and is bailing us out...!! Tomorrow is Friday - so everything will be all ship shape for when you return. ;)

 

Have a safe trip.

Oh nobody mentioned that we had a chance to go into admin in March and have the 10 points deducted this season, which would have put us down, but would have resulted in us starting next season on 0 points. Instead Rupert tried to be clever and put Southampton Leisure Holdings into admin a week after the deadline, claiming it was not the club that went into admin, and that therefore Saints should not be punished, the F.A had a meeting and decided SLH and Saint were inextricably linked and docked us the points. Also Rupert went on a media offensive, appearing in any medium that would have him, blaming everyone but himself.

It is beautiful here in Bergen right now. Hot and sunny with clear blue skies, just right for the national day parades on Sunday.

Southampton Football Club has a new board....David Jones and Ken Tointon (father of Eastenders actress) but neither have said anything in public since their parent company went into administration on 1st April.

 

And to answer your next question: no, I've no idea why the board of a wholly separate subsidiary of Southampton Leisure Holdings have not uttered a word to their customers for the last 6 weeks.

If you hear anyone (I.E the Daily Echo or South Today) say "THINGS WILL HAPPEN WITHIN 24 HOURS" then take it with a pinch of salt, it has been said so many times over the past 3 weeks, just a little warning.

Just like you, TDD, we are all in the middle of nowhere. Unlike your good self, we are under the water without the benefit of a boat to keep us dry.:mad:

 

It is good, however, to read you on here again.:)
