The longer this goes on the more and more i wish SFC were just wound up and that was the end to it :mad: Hardly, check reactions after Pinnacle got exclusivity at the end of May, even though the issue had already been dragging and we barely managed to muster together player wages. We were bloody ecstatic and could not have been more united. Is it unreasonable that a month later, with the exclusivity period now over and time running out, pointed questions should be asked out of concern to save the club?

No. The club is bigger than this forum or the people (not all fans neccesarily) that post on it. Of course we deserve a club to support, and Southampton as a town deserves a club.

To be honest, I think that if any other club in the country was going through the same, you'd be getting similarly large differences of opinion on a highly emotive scale. Ultimately, everybody on here cares about OUR club. It is not and never will be Michael Fialka's club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spain saint Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 I agree with Barcelona here! I don´t think that some of the people on here deserve to follow any club. Some of the behaviour of certain posters on here is disgusting and I would be ashamed to be associated them. Take a deep breath and stay calm because nobody deserves some of this abuse, whether they take on the club or not. Lets not forget that business deals fall through all the time and maybe GM, you have had deals fall through before, but not in the public arena!!

I just think there is point, after banging your head against a brick wall for so hard and so long, that the blood gets in your eyes and that's when the red mist decends.

shurlock Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 (edited) Story from Saturday's Times Online- http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/article6587064.ece Basically nothing that we didnt already know but found this para revealing: "...Tony Lynam, the Pinnacle bid leader, had suggested that a single backer was funding the deal and named Michael Fialka, a North London businessman, on Thursday. Doubts were expressed about Fialka's access to sufficient funds yesterday, which Fry dismissed as based on “cursory” investigations, but Lynam still changed his story, saying that Fialka “has prominent people supporting his efforts” and “important connections in his [North London Jewish] community”..."

Hmm. Well, perhaps they weren't given the same brief as the BBC, but the Times article hardly "put the actual true position across" as promised by Mr Lynam, does it now? sorry I being a grumpy sod tonight, in all honesty, I'd love a proper Jewish connection at Saints.

Just buy the club you aren't going to overturn the points so just put up or bugger off instead of it will be wrapped up in a day or possibly a few hours. YOU ARE MAKING A LEGEND (MLT) LOOK A MUG UNLESS YOU COMPLETE IT. They are using people from day one to win support (Mike Wilde did this!!!), sorry Matt & Leon I really think you are being used as pawns, if I am wrong sorry (please I really hope I am!) just compete the deal!!!!!!!!!! We deserve the 10 point as every club does we have gained an advantage by having our debts written off can't you see that!!!!!!!! Just please put us out of the misary!!!!

SaintBobby Posted 27 June, 2009 Share Posted 27 June, 2009 (edited) I think my own pessimism and grumpiness are essentially due to Fialka being - on the face of it - such an utterly implausible owner of the club. I suppose it's possible that he can acess the several hundred million that Pinnacle have promsied, but it just doesn't seem very likely. My scepticism was enhanced enormously by Lynam apparently believing that by unveiling Fialka on national television, Pinnacle was somehow playing a trump card. If it had been Richard Branson, Gavin Davies, David Frost, then - okay - I can see how this might seize the initiative. But Fialka? For the love of God.... With all due respect to the bloke, if he's the ace up your sleeve, you do wonder what sort of deck Pinnacle are playing with. The various legal issues are increasingly beyond me. But, in the seven days since the exclusivity period ended, it's not at all clear that any progress AT ALL has been made by Pinnacle to conclude the deal - or that any legal action against the League has been taken. Now, perhaps there has been sensational progress behind closed doors - but if so, this isn't been communicated in any fashion at all. (e.g. "we have now resolved two of the issues, and are close to agreement on the third"). Finally, a series of crucial deadlines are now passing and approaching, which greatly damage the club's prospects - even if it is not liquidated in seven days' time. A responsile and serious buyer would be offsetting this damage against any apparent obstacles to the deal. But, payroll wasn't met today and several player contracts lapse on Tuesday. I think the anger of a lot of people on here is not so much that the Pinnacle bid looks like it will now fail, but that it looks like the muppet show (even if it succeeds).

EastleighSoulBoy Posted 27 June, 2009 Share Posted 27 June, 2009 I've had enough of this club and its fans, to be honest. It's like seeing your wife getting raped. Meanwhile, internet Saints "fans" fawn over a potless Irishman and his equally potless London mate, while they fiddle with her bra. This dustbin lid is obviously a total nutjob, yet him and Frank Carson are given the time of day by supposed professionals. If neither of them have any money, what the f*** do they bring? Arse ache, that's all.... The known way of dealing with stress is to focus your actions on what you can affect by them. Things that cannot be changed by your actions are therefore a waste of your time and energies, leading to stress. Simply walk away if you feel that stressed. Although that's easier said than done because Saints are a morbid obsession! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I think I can agree with what you are saying . I am surprised that we are still in business as I originally thought the Pinnacle bid would fail as there did not seem that there was a rich guy with hundreds of millions of pounds around. If there was why get TL with little or no experience involved in the first place and secondly if he was that wealthy he would surely have bought the club quickly. Getting MLT to be chairman again seems strange to me but hope I am wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
