Article says last updated 12:21pm Jul 1st so who knows?? Could taking this to the absolute wire in order to force a rock bottom price have been Pinnacles strategy (or their backers at least) from the very off ??? FL is just a convenient excuse to keep on stalling?? Guess we'll find out very soon.

We were in the prem 4 years ago and now we are talking about the blue sq prem. This feels surreal.

I thought MLT said Pinnacle would step in by the end of Tuesday. By my watch it's not yet the end of Tuesday...................

The new line up will be: DoF = Keegan Manager = Shearer Tactical Coach = Hoddle Tea boy\toilet cleaner = R****t L**e

Totally agree and I hope the idiots that have been posting their ill informed and panicky speculation will feel well and truly embarassed, most of it has been cringeworthy. Seal the deal guys - the majority of decent fans are right behind you.

Apologies if this has been put up already but here goes anyway. http://www.thejc.com/articles/jewish-property-man-fronts-bid-buy-southampton-fc

No one knows the full ins and outs so everyone needs to calm down a bit and wait for this to conclude. As far as I can tell Pinnacle are still in pole position but they will know that if they delay much longer they might be overtaken by the Swiss. To all these guys it's a business decision and they aren't going to invest unless they are perfectly happy with what they have invested in. Who knows, maybe their game plan all along was to procrastinate and take this right to the wire in order to screw every penny out of Jackson that they can ..... wouldn't be too far fetched as their optimum outcome is to pay exactly what the assets are worth and no more.

So Mike Fialka lives in Southgate....wonder if he's a Spud or a Gooner? Hopefully this will be completed ASAP and if it\when it is I'd like to wish Mike and the Pinnacle team the best of luck (just ignore the idiots on here).

I wouldn't blame TL - he won't be the one making the final decision. For that you need to consult the money man behind the scenes.

Meanwhile a certain duck shooting ex chairman is quietly chuckling to himself. If this club traded as itself like most others do then this would be a straightforward -10 and Pinnacle would know exactly where they stood. Instead we have yet another L**e inspired mess that this time might just finish us off. Hope you're happy L**e.

Heath - 1984 semi final scoring b*****d. Keane - 2005 relegation taunting b*****d. Venables - Wide boy ****ney MLT ignoring b*****d. Neil Warnock - big stupid mouthy northern b*****d. Mark Lawrenson - Sneering preening 'on my TV every bloody week' b*****d. Ashley Cole - 'I need more money, I'm only on 60k a week' greedy money grabbing b*****d. R****t L**e - The ultimate b*****d.

This is dragging on now, starting to lose confidence that Pinnacle will buy the club.

Tony Lynham won't be making the call, it's his backer who will have to make his\her mind up. I hope they go through with this as I still think we've got a decent shot at playoffs if we can all pull together.

I don't think the FL have done anything wrong here, everyone knows that we are in administration and we should just take it on the chin. I'd like to see a bit of decency and honour here. Besides which, I can't see how we have a case as this isn't even a legal argument. The FL own this show and they set whatever rules they want. If they say 'no appeal' you just have to swallow it with a bit of dignity. Don't get me wrong, I want this -10 overturned as much as the next fan but I want it erased the right way, by winning our first 4 games and then going on to storm the league.

Which one? League cup in 79 or ZDS final in 92 (I was there).

Wasn't going to get a ST this year but if KK comes then I'll have to reconsider.

Watford in the FAC SF at villa park. Great day out and fantastic atmosphere in the pub but the game was a bit of a haze.

I think we should be thankful that SFC even has a fixture list to comment on.

KK for manager? Yes please.

If we are serious about getting out of this league ASAP then we should be at least trying to keep players like Rasiak. Goal scorers are a precious commodity and he'll score for fun in this league.

I don't think that these 21 days are wasted time as I'd imagine they are using this period to assess staff\player\business issues. My hunch is that when the deadline comes up and they move forward (sounds likely) we will have a flurry of activity.

Lets be realistic, a deal of this size isn't going to happen overnight and as several have already stated, you couldn't even buy a house this quickly. Hopefully they are using this time to take a good look at the managerial opportunities that are out there.

Watching Saints over the last 5 years has been enough to give you Tourettes........

Whatever MLT does from now he's already done more for this club than virtually anyone else. Like Lawrie Mac he's beyond slagging off for me although I think he'll be more effective than many are giving him credit for.
