St Chalet

Someone will buy us, at some point. Unless you have £15m burning a hole in your pocket then you can only expect to get what you are given.

I actually like GM's posts, he has a Woodward and Bernstein type appeal.

A consortia of threads, genius.

Sometimes people can't win. Lynam brings out his backer as called for by everyone and he is written off in hours. Let's see what tomorrow brings, it is Friday after all ;-)

Sad to hear, a Saints Legend.

Like all modern day dramas this will no doubt be sold off to some Hollywood studio to be turned in to a two hour epic. My only fear is the story may be to fictious, you literally couln't make it up. The first part is to sort out the cast, feel free to add to those I have missed. The Duckhunting ex Chairman The Channel Island liverpool supporting turncoat The Speak on Site Local Businessman The Photocopier Salesman (Business Strategist) The Rugby Coach The drunken Football Manager The Dutch experimental manager The Dutch experimental manager 2 The ex-Microsoft Billionaire The Ginger transvestite The man with the briefcase The gardening goalkeeping coach The magnificant seven The saints legend who would be Chairman The saints legend who would be manager The self-styled super fan The silver throwing man The nice man from pinnacle The Ted Bates statue The striking striker The 'Swiss'

Pinnacle don't have any money do they, they are a front. http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/110fbf02a2c9c93fa141cb6892f6e651/companysearch?link=41 It is a pretty impressive bid of £15m from a company trading a year that have never filed accounts. It does beg the question, why use a property developer? If I was building a house I wouldn't hire a football club Chief Exec to project manage it. Tony Lynam has got a lot of goodwill on this site mainly down to some nice references from friends and the fact he has communicated nicely but he will find out, us fans are a fickle bunch. Next time you read one of his posts imagine it was LLS, HelpMeRhonda or one of the many message board messiahs we have endured over the past 2-3 years. The only difference is we have a bit of faith with Tony (for the moment). So pretty please do make your call, or get off the pot.

Knowing our luck it will be Daniel Ratcliffe and the Hogwarts company behind us.

It won't be Jackson. It will be someone credible who will bin him off as soon as the deal is done, just like B'mouth.

I think he means 'exchange'.... Completion means you are sat with your feet on the sofa drinking your cup of tea.

Doubt it, Mondays and Fridays only.

I have heard the Swiss are neutral about bidding again.

The company structure was setup long before the FL rules came into effect. Leon Crouch (who post-dates the company structure) currently has no official capacity at the club, and nor did he at the time of formation so wtf is he on about?

The issue appears to be league membership, not the points deduction. Oh bummer.

If SLH is wound up it cannot exit via a CVA, thus putting the league into a whirlwind of contradiction!

Would they be subject to a points penalty?

Given that the 'Golden Share' is owned by Southampton FC Ltd, and Pinnacle are buying Southampton FC Ltd - not sure why the **** they would have to transfer it! I'd imagine it was never transferred to SLH after the reverse takeover so why tranfer it? Clearly we have (through luck not judgement) got a decent out on this.

The letter of the law probably is that we were not due to 10 point penalty, the spirit says we are. If it was another team we'd be screwing about it. Take the 10, just means we need to be 11 points clear to win league this year.

I am going for: Ratcliffe with the money Keegan in the boardroom Shearer on the touchline

I don't disagree with any of your points. My reference to the other two is that the general fanbase will be suitably underwhelmed by the appointment that the vast majority would never of heard of. A few bad results and he will be getting the Portaloo treatment.

For Tisdale read Wigley or Gray IMHO.

Based on your previous prediction I'll hold my breath thanks. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?p=311372#post311372

I think now the story has gone national the top sports hacks will be turning up a lot of stones to sell their papers tomorrow.

Perhaps our new owner is so rich we will be pumping millions into the the British economy and MK needs to oversee.

+1 Maybe one of those nice mods could do a poll with the following, just in case those nice chaps at Pinnacle are browsing. Keegan Ince Strachan Shearer Tisdale Dowie Wotte A N Other
