Plus it wasn't a takeover, it was just the creditors forming a company to own the club - be kind of like us being owned now by Aviva and Barclays.

Michael Tabor. There, said it. "Mystery" backer no more. No need for silly hints, racing analogies and all that. Now wouldn't it be REALLY funny if it turned out Pompey deal wasn't quite as nailed on as claimed.................

Trust me, the fella who is really out in front in the Southampton Acquisition stakes is real, plenty of cash....only a tiny wee fella though so not easy to spot him in the back of taxis etc. Plenty of heavyweights around to obscure, but I am sure the "ITK" crowd know who he is already, how he is connected and how the info on two of the bids is a little crossed over....Irish and Overseas and all that. But I am irritating some and starting ta bore others. Wonder if gold and black will be the new away strip........... Sincerely wish I could just spill the name, but 3 posts a day....would be unfair to hit and run. Admin should find a way to allow casual posters to reply to PMs or something. Funniest thing is the Echo don't know because their sources for these stories (i.e. two of the other bidding parties) don't know who the main guy is either. Which is the other reason can't post it on here. The clues are out there people, and sorry if this makes me sound like a tit, if I could communicate more than twice more today I would honestly give it straight from the horses mouth. But if this comes off, and it should, the smug bar stewards down the road might find that their gloating was premature and Saints will once again be associated with honour and glory.

Wow does everyone need to relax. An old blast from the past may be hovering around and could help secure some global talent for the club

All VERY worth repeating, thank you Evo. Again, sat here with a creditor, and no offer or indication of serious interest has been conveyed to them, as would be required. Keep on speculating about consortiums and bids and goalposts being moved by Fry, but nobody has produced a bid credible enough to have it even taken to the creditor group, and that bid has certainly not subsequently been increased, no matter what the Echo reports (for which read "read on here")

EITHER Poster in ACTUAL ITK SHOCKER or Proof positive where the Echo gets its stories from

Sunderland. Big club, but not necessarily bigger than Saints. Guy shows up when they're in the fizzy pop, says I like the plan, like the potential. Buys 30%, three years later they're stable in the Prem says I'll take the whole lot please. No "anonymous" consortium. Named, known and credible. Similarly Lerner, Abramovich, Ashley, Glazer (after initial "secrecy"), Gillette/Hicks. WHY GOD WHY. Why are we the only club subjected to mystery consortiums and unheard of owners, when clubs big and small up and down the country (QPR, really?) are getting solid and credible owners. SOMEBODY BUY US FFS

INSTA-CORRECT (since I apparently cannot edit) if it was done to you or BY SOMEONE ELSE to you. If it was done by you, use I. Oh for feck's sake. Subject of sentence - I Object of sentence - me Always I with "to be" Enough

Technically wrong, should never use "me" with "to be" in its past, present or future participle forms. Therefore should always be "It is/was/will be I" rather than me. To completely clear this up, I is the subject pronoun, me is the object pronoun. Therefore if you did something, use "I" if it was done to you or by you, use "me".

Hot on the heels of the "Leon Crouch" Facebook login.............. MATT LE TISSIER IS ON SAINTSWEB!!! I mean, it is him, right?

Here's a horribly inconvenient FACT for you Kelso. Mark Fry was in London on Friday afternoon and evening, his partner David Hudson was handling all matters at St. Mary's after about 2pm on Friday. According to staff, Mark went back to his home as he has plans this weekend that he couldn't break hence the delays in allowing DD until after the holiday weekend. ITK - BS. Also FACT - no-one has been given full access to DD materials yet, and the club won't allow access to players' and staff contracts or info until a deposit is paid (as clearly that info would be invaluable to other clubs) and no deposit has been paid yet. Makes me wonder who you really are that you tried to have us believe a woman with a tenuous link to the Club was telling you the deal was done.............but then your spelling and grammar sort of answers that question for me. Get off this site and concentrate on trying to find us investors mate.

Having a wonderful image of Jackson and his "side cick" having to get their car "releasd" by asking some woman for two hundred quid while Fry was with them.............. I am sure that story is true and not just a bid for attention. Seems Fry doesn't have any cash either then

Sorry, who is Kelso Kev and what does he have to do with STDs? Those things can itch

Annoying to hear that Salz is waiting for Jackson's bid to fail. Either Salz get a move on or Jackson FRO before you damage the club and yourself any more.

Personally I can accept a middle man, I can accept a well-intentioned fan trying to broker a deal. What I cannot accept is someone who toyed with the emotions of one club before being found out to not even have 100 grand to pay a deposit (cheque literally bounced) coming to do the same here. And I ABSOLUTELY cannot stand lies. The man claimed, on Meridian, he was a Scout for Saints, involved in the academy, and was involved in bringing current players to the club. Absolute and total BS. I will forgive/understand most things, but lying on the record like that....... His own boss and a business strategist? The man was declared bankrupt in 2004 and is presently unemployed. Sorry, would love to give all benefits of all doubts. That said, Salz is no better - how long is this guy going to lurk in the wings? At least credit to Green and Jackson, they have put their names out there. Salz needs to put up or push off. And Pinnacle - if the Echo is accurate (which I doubt, knowing where their info is coming from) then the deposit is not an issue if you can prove funds. Their "consortium" feel apart if it was ever remotely real in the first place, but Lynam got his 2 minutes of fame.
