Joesaint Posted 7 July, 2009 Share Posted 7 July, 2009 Hate to plug a rival, but upthesaints.com are reporting that the deal has been signed, and we are now in Swiss owership. The deal includes "a member of the Liebherr family". Could they be the TMZ.com of the South Coast?? Happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 7 July, 2009 Share Posted 7 July, 2009 hard to believe this could be nearly over or is it? I so do hope so. Had to take a break the 5 finger wore out. Wow, So much happened, first we had Addisons, then Leprosy and finally Anthrax. Whereas all we had on here in the past 3 hours was a Solent news report which sort of told us all what we had already sort of worked out. Ho hum, hopefully Sarcasticosis next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyes k8 Posted 7 July, 2009 Share Posted 7 July, 2009 May be a bit early but congratulations. I think this will all go through these people are realists unlike the pinnicle guys. Think it will be very good for the club. i imagine the plan is to get/keep you in the premier league then sell at a profit. Which is basically what Milan did with us. He was happy, we were happy. Sounds like these people have got both the financial clout and ability to do it. Anyrate I've pencilled you in for a premier league derby at fratton Park in October 1013.

A blue chip business family - I can't wait to find out the reasons for purchasing SFC and what the long term vision is.

Eyes k8 Posted 7 July, 2009 Share Posted 7 July, 2009 Cheers fishy friend. Looking forward to the derbies again. Not sure about 1013 tho! Damn, 1013 was when Ethelred the Unready fled the country, before his brief return 1014-16 when he finally took ill in Portsmouth and died. It seems I mistakenly confused Ethelred the Unready with Rupert Lowe. you'll understand how easily that could be done. Correction: See you Premier League Oct 2013 Fratton. Simples!

Any hints from any ITKers? On Solent this afternoon they mentioned that in their other businesses they have a hands off role and bring in people to run their business. It will probably be a week or so before thats done. I expect Jones to carry on for a while.
