Foxstone Posted 18 June, 2009 Share Posted 18 June, 2009 As posted elsewhere it sounds like Pinnacle have denied KK being involved so is this just Crouch shouting his mouth off again and if so for what reason? If Pinnacle have got this guy involved at the top level maybe they didnt think a clean sweep was needed? If he is going to carry on with the cryptic press snippets then maybe they should think again? Agree with that - It makes me cringe ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scummer Posted 18 June, 2009 Share Posted 18 June, 2009 Le Tiss, Lynam and Jones ? perhaps Lawrie ? If Leon is on I would'nt know whether to laugh or cry ! He's already said Leon is on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish fingers Posted 18 June, 2009 Share Posted 18 June, 2009 If Keegan did join, with MLT as chairman, what sort of crowds will we get? Would be quite exciting, no reasons to stay away, although i'm sure many will find them. Would like to think we'd nearly sell out the first game anyway. would expect Ajax and Millwall to get pretty close to selling out if that we're the case.

hypochondriac Posted 18 June, 2009 Share Posted 18 June, 2009 bugger Oh get over it. It's not exactly the worst thing in the world. The primary reason for Crouch's failure was our lack of money and I highly doubt that Leon will have a huge say in things. Lets not let something like this ruin the whole thing, it isn't worth it.

(I'm sure 19C will be on later to act like the world is falling in.) To be honest I think all 3 have had a fair share in putting us where we are. They all did 1 or 2 things good but they all stuffed up too. A clean sweep would have given the base for all of us to enjoy a fresh start and see where it takes us. Having any one of them still involved just leaves the can open for feuds and BS that we all have had to put up with for years. Worst to have back is obviously Lowe but I would actually put Crouch as equal with Wilde. Sure he put his hand in his pocket while the others skulked away and for that I am grateful. But on his word about being taken over by PA the shareprice went through the roof which buggered any real chance of someone putting a serious offer in. He lied about the Theo money and spent the OD. As a fan I cant say I would have done any better and would have gone for broke too. But do we realy need these kind of arguments hanging over the club for ever more? I dont feel like the world is falling in and I dont want to be so down about it but New times just dont come accross as exciting with any of the previous lot still involved.

I mention LM as he is close to LC and may be shipped in for his football contacts. Crouch will be one voice on the board. He won't be in control, that will be the bloke with the money. I am struggling to see how he could mess things up for the new regime. He has paid his money to keep the club alive and I imagine he was offered this as some sort of reward. Whatever the reason, I'm really not going to worry because Leon has a place on the board. It's just not of particular importance to me. If he was chairman then that's a different story but he won't be because things will be led by MLT and TL (who I have been impressed with so far.)

I am going to assume that MLT will do what he feels is best for the club. IF that includes having LC and/or LM on the board, then thats fine by me. I wanted a clean sweep and in a perfect world that would have happened, but ATM we seem to have a club - we seem to have Le God playing a major role - we will not have RL/MW - we MAY have KK as manager. Be grateful for these plusses. If you want perfection, don`t support Saints. Just WAIT and see what pans out. If you are unhappy with it,moan then!
