That's not particularly cheered me up, I've got tickets for tomorrow!

Or did the Echo get it from you?

Probably been playing for a manager that actually thinks fitness is a vital part of a footballer's make up.

Wouldn't read too much into what is written on "fansonline" It's just another rumour mill!

The way it was written in the Echo "11th hour bid" makes be think it is 3rd on the table and not 1st (which would tie in with WS and Derry).

Sloppy Journalism IMO. Just cut from the piece Wotte did for the OS but left out the bit where he said that they may be offered terms after the takeover had been completed. This report on Sporting Life has the full story. http://www.sportinglife.com/football/cc_championship/southampton/news/story_get.dor?STORY_NAME=nonwire_soccer/09/05/06/manual_144044.html&TEAMHD=soton

Looks like we're going for Buena Vista, a Mickey Mouse boardroom made up of Dopey, Dumbo and Goofey.

I don't believe that for one second. What Fry may have said is that there was (at the time) no formal bid on the table and therefore Jackson, if he got his in first, would be well placed to win (because there was no guarantee there would be any further bids). However, it would be completely unethical to discuss other bids with a potential bidder and telling them they're in pole position.

Begbies Traynor was but not sure about Fry personally.

So, are they saying that this 'Jackson' bid is an additional one to the two already on the table?

I thought it was also on the Bournemouth Echo site but couldn't find it. Found this though!! http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/search/2181900.Jackson_vows_to_give_club_a_future/

Lord ALW I would have thought?

FFS Don't the plastics know how much in the sh!t we are?

I'm getting confused! I thought the Saints' Village thing was a Rhonda/Williams creation?

What was Alpine's Reaction?!

I thought the 2nd bid was formally submitted yesterday, according to the Echo.

No Champions League within 3 seasons and they'll bloody well deserve it!

No, the guy tried his best in difficult circumstances and certainly had more about him than Poortvliet but in the end came up short. A clean sweep please! New owner, new board, new manager and pretty much, a new team.

Not according to Weston Saint last night.

So you'd rather be in the position Coventry were with SISU, where there was only one player in town and a take it or leave it noose placed around their necks. I'm glad there is more than one option for Saints and from what I have seen and heard of Mark Fry and his people, he certainly is not stupid. He will know what the best bid is and award the contract accordingly.

Lot's of ifs and buts but I would imagine Fish Mills would be our starting LB next season.

I didn't think they owned the stadium?

For some reason the name of Ronnie Biggs is going through my head! :confused:

Not what I heard, she said she'd even clean the Skates' bogs if they paid her enough!
