Well here goes, my last post. I do feel at bit torn here as apparently from what I've read on this forum he wants to remain anonymous which (I think) is perfectly understandable, at least until the deal has gone through. I think we should at least try and respect this and so sorry but I am not going to name him. However his name IS mentioned earlier in this thread. I know I'm going to be slated from some on here but there you go. Please be assured that if this info is correct (and it did come through a number of people before getting to me) then the company he part owns is pretty big with a turnover of ten's of billions and he is in the Sunday Times rich list. Once again sorry if I come across as a smart-arse ITK'er bit I just don't feel comfortable naming him. Hopefully it won't be long before we are all put out of our misery.

Well I went for Kevin Turvey in an earlier post (does anyone remember him?). Do I get a second chance?

Well I am now officially ITK. I've been speaking to a senior manager of a prominent company in Southampton who told me the name of the company owned by our potential new owner. I have subsequently found his name on the web. It is a name mentioned on here in one or two threads but means nothing to me. I have to say browsing the web site I feel quite confortable with this guy should my info be correct.

Kevin Turvey

No change there then.

If things in the UK are so bad then why don't you f*** off and go and live in another country?................ .......oh you have!!

I think we are all getting a bit twitchy until the deal is done. It's like being 1-0 up with 5 minutes go and as Saints fans we all know what that's like.

Well that told you didn't it!!

It won't be Jim Magilton: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4417320.Former_Saints_appointed_QPR_manager/

Whatever happens Alpine, you will moan about it. You give the impression of being a miserable old sod

Was it definately pink? Up close it could have been..................... ............red and white stripes !!

Yeah, but I bet they've been doing lots of overtime for the past 3 weeks....................and chances are it was the cleaner!! Sorry for the scepticism

Very early on I seem to remember that one of the bidders was described as being a 'household name'. I think this quote was attributed to Mark Fry. Could this have been Souness?

Oh please don't start him off again. I'm beginning to think he may actually look like his avatar, that might explain a lot.

Why didn't you tell the customer to 'shut the f** up'? You want to get your priorites sorted out.

Too late for me, I've already S**t myself !!:mad:

Even if they do have 'loadsamoney' they would not neccessarily make a massive bid. Remember the lower the amount they can pay to secure the purchase of the club then the more they have to invest. There is bound to be brinkmanship on both sides.

Noticed it Laughed at it Forgot about it I'll believe it when I see it (announced by Mr Fry)

Massive potential for any new owners regarding rugby. Southampton Sporting Club comprising Saints FC and Saints RFC (Northampton won't like it). I think rugby could get good crowds. I'm ready to be slated !!!

I think many people are getting very emotional about all this, and undertandably so...it's our football club after all. But whether we like it or not it is very much a business deal/decision now. I think very few if any people on here really know what's going on and that's the way it should be. Let's just hope things turn out for the best.

It's a tough call but could this be the winner of 'Ridiculous thread of the month award'?

I think the acronym 'ITK' should be replaced by a new one 'FOS' (Full of S***)

I'm starting to worry now. Another week has gone by and no formal announcement of any bids. Plenty of rumours on here of course but I take all of it with a pinch of salt. I'm seriously beginning to wonder if anyone is going to buy us. Cheer me up with some positive news someone.............. ...........please

Yeah, sod the takeover....how was the poo?

Yeah, he's doing a great job at Newcastle I think I'd prefer a more experienced manager.
