This Pearson guy will do a good job, with a pre-season behind him.......oh sh1t!!

TBH I think we've done remarkably well to get where we are now. Mark Fry has to now weed out all the time wasters, tyre kickers and no-goers to make up a short list of viable candidates (those are 2 words, after the last 12 to 18 months, I didn't think we'd ever see) and then find the one that gives the best long-term solution to SFC and more importantly, from his point of view, value to the creditors.

At least he did play for them.

Possibly, but if there's not a positive outcome to this one then it's game over!

I think they extended it.

Pretty sure anyone can buy over the phone. The only exception being when they make sales only available to fans on the database (Cardiff etc.). I believe you have to be or have been a ST holder or Member to buy on-line though!

No, it's basically saying that the assets of the club are the players, as opposed to the company's assets, the stadium etc.

Jones plus a guy put there by the Administrators. Nobody could quite decipher his name but it was something like Kevin Pointon.

.....with slicked back hair, handlebar moustaches and hobnailed boots!! Hoorah!!!

I very much doubt anyone is going to buy SLH in it's entirety. All most of us care about is that the FC survives and that it has somewhere to play.

My understanding is that St Marys Stadium Ltd owns a chunk of SMS but obviously Aviva owns the vast majority. This could in theory be sold to the same buyer as the football club, a third party or if no buyer is found would become Aviva's in a repossession. I think that option 2 (3rd party) is probably the most likely but it could be that the buyer of the football club would also become a significant shareholder in SMS Ltd, along with the 3rd Party, with maybe the Council also getting involved? Just thinking aloud but a possibility.

There is a major difference in that they do not have to buy out existing shareholders. Just whatever price the administrators set and undertaking the club's debts (which if the Times report is correct, will not include the stadium debt and therefore be around £6Million, I guess)?

Leon spoke very well on TV and this is pretty much the transcript from that. I too would prefer a complete clean sweep but I have no problem with LC coming back and if he wants to put more of his money into the club, we're hardly going to turn it down. If he did, I would prefer that it was at Director level, rather than Chairman or CEO with a Saltz like figure above him.

I agree completely. I thought we would get through the season but go into admin if we were relegated. What I still can not phathom is, if Barclays lowered the overdraft in October and we didn't manage to cut our costs through the January transfer window, affectively strangling the operation, why not go for administration then? We might have been through the worst and coming out the other side by now.

Top drawer, matey!!

Ah, you mean a boycott.

Do you think he'd donate the proceeds to the Save our Saints fund?

I wouldn't imagine the corporate seats will sell out.

Blimey, it's going to cost the council a fortune changing all those new road signs that say "City of Southampton" on them! :rolleyes:

Joined and sent on!!

Mick Channon.

If that is the case the home sections (outside the corporates) will be sold out by COB tomorrow.

Listen to the full press conference on the Echo website.

I always thought it was a song sang by fans of sh!tty little clubs with chips on their shoulders. These days I guess it's quite apt.

Not just me then?
