Or by Friday if we're unlucky.

To be honest, it's not been that good.

Assume Pinnacle bid is now dead then?

Another vote for this. Heard too much of 'we are definately going to complete the takeover' If you are, then do it.

If it is genuine, then it suggests that Pinnacle will be signing come what may tomorrow, and presumably taking appropriate action against the FL (or not...)

Trouble is with a new bid, can we afford to wait another 3 weeks while they have exclusivity, this will take us to the middle of July??

Ah but which day??

So if the deal will happen come what may, why the hold up? Big manager is probably what's needed and is sensible in my opinion - harks back to the policy of LM in the 70's. What about the rest of the staff, are they being paid as well?

You Heard It Here First (no) Wind Up Merchant.

Presumably this will be takeover dependant.

He knows they can't complete within time, therefore I guess he's keen to open negotiations again. At the end of the day he's charged with getting the best price for the club and isn't particularly worried who he sells to.

Can you honestly see a deal being done before midnight?????

Think it's safe to say that's it till at least Monday now

Nice easy one for me to get to if nothing else!

They've hardly looked motivated up till now, and can't see a miraculous change before Saturday. -10 next season if we're still around. Sad day.

Charlton leading - worryingly we can still finish bottom.

I have the feeling the decision will be teken as soon as the FA know whether we have enough points to stay up or not.............

Head to Head figures not encouraging either. Southampton Matches Win Draw Lose Overall 43 10 14 19 Home 22 4 9 9 Away 21 6 5 10

Guess if that was offered today most people would take it.

Yeh, hats off to them (pardon the pun) Had a decent enough awayday a couple of years ago, even if the Ground was poor. Hope they bounce straight back, wouldn't want the same thing happening to us!

IMO it's just another game we'll probably end up losing in a season of poor results. All the talk of 'must wins' '6 pointers', 'season defining' blah blah is just a throwback to what we were all saying before getting relegated from the Championship. Accept this season of over and we are down. Look forward to August when we can start rebuilding ourselves.

What time are we likely to know if a decision has been taken tomorrow?

Yeh, thanks for this.

Tickets bought, but took ages on website, looks like it could be a big crowd.

So, are they likely to sell 12K by 1.00pm Saturday or am I besh phoning up and ordering tix today?
