tttdcs Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 Going on holiday at 1:00, no TV/wifi after that. I'm hoping not to miss the big moment! Dont worry it will probably be another 14 days anyway...................

kpturner Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 they said earlier that KK was in talks with MLT about how to take the club forward and said they would have more soon. think that was about an hour ago so not sure how soon is soon. from some of the other things that are being said it sounds like Pinnale in today and maybe sort the manager out next week sometime rather than all in 1 hit.Yes - its the KK for manager bit that now seems to be as dead as a dodo having been considered almost fact yesterday. The Echo headlines state MLT expected to be announced as Chairman today but KK will not be the next manager. Says he has doubts whether he wants a job in football at all, and in any case needs to fight his compensation case with Newcastle to conclusion before he can take a job.
docker-p Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 I do think we are all going to be a little underwhelmed with the info coming out today. I'm sure everything will be fine, but announcements of new managers and the manifesto for the future will follow next week once the new board have had a chance to draw breath after the take over. Just my guess.
Toadhall Saint Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 I do think we are all going to be a little underwhelmed with the info coming out today. I'm sure everything will be fine, but announcements of new managers and the manifesto for the future will follow next week once the new board have had a chance to draw breath after the take over. Just my guess. If its announced that we have been bought then that will not underwhelm me.
kpturner Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 Nick Illingsworth spoke, that was it.About 30 seconds later they did a tiny piece about Wotte and his contract (as manager) expiring soon and just reiterating the fact that they expect an announcement regarding the takeover today....basically announcing that they had nothing to announce yet. Wotte seems to me to be quite dignified in the face of uncertainty and gives the impression that he would just like it settled for the good of the club and the ensuing season.
Son of Bob Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 I do think we are all going to be a little underwhelmed with the info coming out today. I'm sure everything will be fine, but announcements of new managers and the manifesto for the future will follow next week once the new board have had a chance to draw breath after the take over. Just my guess. Any news of the club being brought, and therefore saved from extinction, will be far from underwhelming!
Colinjb Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 According to the echo, Le Tiss to be confirmed as chairman and the new owner's identity to be revealed by the end of today (assuming the deal goes through...)

I'm sure everything will be fine, but announcements of new managers and the manifesto for the future will follow next week once the new board have had a chance to draw breath after the take over. Just my guess. Fine by me, i just want to hear that we have been taken over & that we have a club next season, this is more important than any managerial appointments...etc for now. The poster "Muvvers" posted yesterday that he'd spoken to Tony Lynham on Weds & that he stated everything would be done & dusted today including KK being appointed manager. Just wondering if he knows any more about when we are likely to hear anything today?
ART Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 A friend north of the border told me that Strachan has been on holiday in Malaga and was due to return the end of this week, which would be today or tomorrow. Strange there's been no sighting from over there although the wee man doesn't relish intrusions on his privacy.
kpturner Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 I'm half expecting a bit of an anti-climax today, maybe with news that we will know more on Monday too but perhaps that comes from all we've experienced in following Saints the last few years. Hope I'm wrong though!Is it possible to expect an anti-climax?
Iowsaintsfan Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 will it be a grand unveiling of someone famous and rich? or will it be like through the keyhole, where we all have no idea who the hell they are but have to act impressed? Hes ready to be unveiled
Frank's cousin Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 A friend north of the border told me that Strachan has been on holiday in Malaga and was due to return the end of this week, which would be today or tomorrow. Strange there's been no sighting from over there although the wee man doesn't relish intrusions on his privacy. Heard he was back at home in Hedge end.... the plot thickens when laced with rumour and speculation...and a heavy dose of imagination ;-)
Evo Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 will it be a grand unveiling of someone famous and rich? or will it be like through the keyhole, where we all have no idea who the hell they are but have to act impressed? I have it on good authority that the unveiling will be MLT revealing the old Ted Bates statue with a "Mr X" hessian sack stuck over the head as a tribut to our new owner. I'm ITK innit.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 poetry from the echo (beautiful) If Matt's boardroom skills are as good as his play, We'll have a chairman with lots of sway. If loyalty was rewarded with gold, Down the swanny we would've ne'er been sold. Le Tiss was our God' he was our saviour.. On and off the field the best behaviour!! With a new board and money to spend, all debts called off, a lot will depend. Wether it's Kev in charge, and I hope that it is.. a squad who will play for us and Le Tiss. We're better off now than 3 months ago.. Watch this space .. I told you so!!
warsash saint Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 Heard he was back at home in Hedge end.... the plot thickens when laced with rumour and speculation...and a heavy dose of imagination ;-) His place is in Warsash not Hedge End
SaintRobbie Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 Le Tissier admitted he met with Dell legend Kevin Keegan earlier this week, but it is understood the former England boss is not the number one choice to take over the team at St Mary’s. Which must mean that MLT has someone even more popular/better than Keegan lined up....? Said Trousers logically. Wow - even better choice!! Bring it on!
slickmick Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 Heard he was back at home in Hedge end.... the plot thickens when laced with rumour and speculation...and a heavy dose of imagination ;-) He lives in Warsash Frank.
slickmick Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 Wotte has left. Announcement can't be far away regards new owners.
Frank's cousin Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 His place is in Warsash not Hedge End NO idea, just going by waht Mark Dennis said on the Radio! ;-)
slickmick Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 How do we know he has gone? Saint Martini Full Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Sandviken, Sweden Posts: 2,729 Wotte has signed for Ismaily http://www.sportwereld.nl/voetbal/bu...n_Stee_af.html As it says in the title.

chrismsaint Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 ROTTERDAM - mark of Wotte becomes again coach of the Egyptische Ismaily. Also Henk van Stee were long in the race coach become of the top club. Mark of Wotte and Henk van Stee (Right). FOTO' S DUTCH PRESS AGENCY The previous season was Wotte operative at the English Southampton. That club makes Friday confessed the departure of the oefenmeester. According to reports Kevin Keegan is on the screen take over the tasks of Wotte. Wotte worked rather as coach of Ismaily. In the middle of 2006 he finished with the club as a Second in the Egyptische competition. For a long time it seemed there on that Henk van Stee coach would become of Ismaily. The oefenmeester asked advice at Wotte, which told also candidate not to be after the first conversation with the club. Surprised Van Stee that Wotte expired also yielded in the race proved to be to the vacant function.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 Wotte has left. Announcement can't be far away regards new owners. that news has been round for a week - not sure its true as Wotte is still in the dark regarding his future at Saints, said so just yesterday
Tac-tics Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 Im just off to the doctors, what radio station is best in case any breaking news does break out? frequency please
Evo Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 Mark of Wotte and Henk van Stee ... departure of the oefenmeester. ... Surprised Van Stee that Wotte expired . Mark of Wotte and Henk van Stee - sounds like a 60s dance move

proevosaints Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 Trust me! Im 99% sure what ive been told is right.
Toadhall Saint Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 Trust me! Im 99% sure what ive been told is right. Nope - is your source internal to the club or??
Scudamore Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 Trust me! Im 99% sure what ive been told is right. Oh okay then...
saints_is_the_south Posted 19 June, 2009 Author Posted 19 June, 2009 Trust me! Im 99% sure what ive been told is right. Well who's told you & how can you be sure Solent that will have more in half an hour? There have been so many postings of apparent press conferences from people on here i have to say i remain sceptical about this.
itchen Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 when do we know? when is the press conference? Friday. It always is.
1976_Child Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 Friday. It always is. thanks. helps a bunch! A quelle heure?
brightspark Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 What a surprise, unless about 3 or 4 post it within the minute, there is no way anyone can believe any press conference rumour. Annoying!!!
WhitmonSaint Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 Put back from 12:30 to 14:30 Hey Stevo, do you know the reason for it being put back?
1976_Child Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 Put back from 12:30 to 14:30 that spells trouble. perhaps they couldn't get the dosh together. or maybe Rupert has put in a counter-offer
thorpie the sinner Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 Has the press conference rumour ever come true.......EVER!!!
OldNick Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 contact from friend and the thoughts at the club is that it may not happen today.!!! You may take that how you like or you believe me or not
1976_Child Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 I think it is all a big lie. Some skate git made the administrators a bogus offer and is now pulling out.
thorpie the sinner Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 contact from friend and the thoughts at the club is that it may not happen today.!!! You may take that how you like or you believe me or not wouldn't be the biggets surprise in the world! Although they do have to make a statement as the exclusivity ends today!! A statement from Fry, just what we all need.
brightspark Posted 19 June, 2009 Posted 19 June, 2009 If it doesn't happen today then that is just stupid. 21 days surely is long enough!!! We need this done FFS
