Does he still have an interest in the club ?

 

Why should anyone actually care? The man was a publicity seeking bull****ter who looked like a complete ***t when despite his bluster and "you'll see tomorrow" talk, er, nothing actually happened.

 

He's probably not able to reach tyre kicker status

Top bloke and laughs about the clueless idiots on here ive been told.

 

 

I would love to hear some of you lot on the radio it would be far worse than ASG or MJ.

 

Top bloke? don't make me laugh, I know several people who worked or have done work for him and he is a complete stroker IMO

Never stood a chance of getting near taking over SFC, although his inflated ego means he probably thought he could!

Or maybe you disagree ?

Well i will disagree as he NEVER had any intention of buying SFC !

 

As for ego again not really him.

I don't know why he ever added the "Strode" to his surname, because those of us that have known him since we were kids will always know him as Andy Gibbons. It may be his mums maiden name - can't remember. He fell in love with SFC at the same time as me - I should know because we both sat alone in his parents lounge as kids and watched SFC beat Man Utd 1-0 in the 1976 Cup Final. His dad then took us to Channon's testimonial on the following Monday night. I have never spoken to him about the proposed buy out of Southampton a year a two ago, but always believed that the press just got hold of his name as a local wealthy Saints fan and took a punt by contacting him to see if we was interested in buying the club. I expect he quite liked the attention and provided a few ill-advised sound bites for them. Before he knew it, he was in up to his neck and then had to wriggle his way out of it. Good job the press then found Crouch and Co. which allowed him to slip back into the background wishing he had kept quiet. I am sure he will put me straight if I have this wrong....

Well I don't know Strode-Gibbons and thus can't comment about him, but by the same token you ought to be more circumspect in your assumptions about people on this forum; they vary widely in experience, knowledge etc, and some are certainly used to dealing with the media. One of the fascinating yet infuriating things about the forum is that you never know when you start reading a thread whether it is being led by a berk or someone with brains, or inside info (not often!), or relevant experience, or an ego that needs re-inflating, or an internet troll, or ...

 

Since you are shown as only joining in April you either are jumping to premature conclusions ---- or maybe you are a longer term user, who has signed up with a new user name because of too much 'history' with your old one?
