Tokyo-Saint Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 If we can't field 11 players, do we get to borrow some from the oposition?
sussexsaint Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 If we can't field 11 players, do we get to borrow some from the oposition? To be fair I wouldn't mid a game
DT Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Actually ? - blond lady nice legs white suit surely not... The only Brazilian we'll be seeing at St Mary's...
saint_stevo Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Interesting to see from the Members List that Spencer (The) Farmer was browsing the forum a mere 15 mins ago. No sign of him posting his final thoughts on the Pinnacle shambles tho.... Looks like his 'greatest' contribution to the club will remain the setting up of the Forever Saints message board along with Tristan-Stanley-Mole with the sole objective of abusing Keith Legg.... I really do hope for all our sakes that the weeks that Pinnacle p issed away hasn't resulted in the death of the club. To be fair to The Farmer, he did respond to a PM i sent him (more of a reply to one he sent me) and did explain his position in all of this and a few other bits and pieces. Good of him to do so. Blame TL, not him.
Rasiak-9- Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 guys can someone just clarify this for me: If no takeover is completed by Friday what actually happens? I mean is that really the day that everything from the computers to the picture of the train is sold off at auction and Southampton FC basically ends?

Fry will say he is "hopeful" of something happening soon.

I mean is that really the day that everything from the computers to the picture of the train is sold off at auction and Southampton FC basically ends? Depends on what the directors decide. Arguably they have made enough from sales to continue for a while longer without the club itself going into admin.
NickG Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 well I think we wont have a licence to enter the league will we? why? its still held, isn;t it?

I mean is that really the day that everything from the computers to the picture of the train is sold off at auction and Southampton FC basically ends? simple - there is a meeting! That's all. They will then decide where to go.
NickG Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 It's a common tactic by Administrators to hurry things up, isn't it? what get hysterical posts on a forum?
Paul Chuckle Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 In Mark Wotte's interview on SNS just before 5 he confirmed he met the Swiss group 4 weeks ago!!!
Foxy Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 In Mark Wotte's interview on SNS just before 5 he confirmed he met the Swiss group 4 weeks ago!!! Did he mention the lady's legs?
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Depends on what the directors decide. Arguably they have made enough from sales to continue for a while longer without the club itself going into admin. Hmmm, so if SFC go into admin do we clock another minus ten points (or whatever)?
SaintRobbie Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 In Mark Wotte's interview on SNS just before 5 he confirmed he met the Swiss group 4 weeks ago!!! Only to show them around he said. Not to be offered anything by them. Dave Jones and Fry have re-appointed him not the new owners. He clearly avoided the question on whether the Swiss owners had made the offer.
buctootim Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Hmmm, so if SFC go into admin do we clock another minus ten points (or whatever)? Wouldn't think so. The FL have already punished the club what we're due under their 'inextricably linked' ruling.
Wade Garrett Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Hmmm, so if SFC go into admin do we clock another minus ten points (or whatever)? I don't see how. If the league see us as intrinsically linked to the PLC they can hardly punish us twice as 2 separate entities.
SFC Forever Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 In which case we must have a chance of seeing some movement re the bid in near future. Perhaps Fry has kept them on the boil in case the first course was inedible. Now serve them up for us Mark so we can concentrate on the afters. Simple mundane things like team selection and style of play to suit our best 11.
St_Tel49 Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 How do they make that out ?????? That would mean that the FL accept that SFC is SEPARATE from Leisure Holdings ....... ..... and as far as I was aware, the FL have always said that the two were intrinsically linked ..... thus REQUIRING a CVA ????????? SO WHO IS RIGHT ??? If the two are intrinsically linked why would you need two CVAs??
CanadaSaint Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 won't it be SLH that is liquidated? Won't liquidation mean that all the individual elements on the balance sheet will be sold off seperately, the land, the stadium, the training ground, the club...oh wait a minute does that not mean that someone could then buy one or two of the seperate elements and then bobs your unkle you have yourself a football club, perhaps with the need to rent a training ground or a stadium. I didn't see anyone address Chez's post - that angle interests me. If the entity that the new owner is buying is SFC, how do they gain any ownership and control over the stadium? Do they buy that from the creditors (AVIA)? If they are buying SFC (for the team) and at least some of the assets of SLH in order to own and control the stadium, why wouldn't they need a CVA? Sorry if I'm being thick here but I thought Chez raised a good point.
St_Tel49 Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Hmmm, so if SFC go into admin do we clock another minus ten points (or whatever)? We have just raised £2m by the sale of players so why is it necessary to liquidate? As far as I know the administrator can continue to run us as a football club until a buyer is found - is that not what happened at Bournemouth or have I got that wrong?
NickG Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 yes. We could remain in administration all season. if gates, sales etc keep the wages paid etc. With sales I do not think this weekend is a deadling - good news in that we are not folding but is their light at the end....
StInky Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 We have just raised £2m by the sale of players so why is it necessary to liquidate? As far as I know the administrator can continue to run us as a football club until a buyer is found - is that not what happened at Bournemouth or have I got that wrong? I suppose Mark Fry will carry on administering SLH and its assets until, in his judgement, the break up value of the assets exceeds the value likely to be obtained from selling off SLH as a whole.
krissyboy31 Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Andrew Pate (Meridian) said a deal could be done tomorrow with the Swiss group.
thorpie the sinner Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 How do we get the Golden share in administration then? and would we then sell season tickets?
SW11_Saint Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Andrew Pate (Meridian) said a deal could be done tomorrow with the Swiss group. Everything crossed. Let's get on with it!
saints_is_the_south Posted 1 July, 2009 Author Posted 1 July, 2009 Meridian said they phoned Fry twice today & he said he was in negotiations at both times. Hopefull of a deal tomorrow (if i had a pound for every time i'd heard that i reckon i'd have enough to buy saints myself!)
Matthew Le God Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Andrew Pate (Meridian) said a deal could be done tomorrow with the Swiss group. Sounds familiar
andysstuff Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Andrew Pate (Meridian) said a deal could be done tomorrow with the Swiss group. The deal's been 'could be done tomorrow' for the best part of 2 weeks now.
maxi_sopez Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Sorry if this has already been said, but apart from this group being Swiss what else do we know about them, is there literally anything more than them being swilsss
krissyboy31 Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Sorry if this has already been said, but apart from this group being Swiss what else do we know about them, is there literally anything more than them being swilsss Headed by a "rich Swiss industrialist" apparently.
sussexsaint Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Sorry if this has already been said, but apart from this group being Swiss what else do we know about them, is there literally anything more than them being swilsss Fry allegedly told staff last week they would be better off with the Swiss than with pinnacle as their new boss
merrimd Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Sorry if this has already been said, but apart from this group being Swiss what else do we know about them, is there literally anything more than them being swilsss Nope. Nada. Zip. Other than they are leaving the takeover to 'a team of lawyers' to deal with all the legal stuff. Tch. Amateurs.
fish fingers Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Nope. Nada. Zip. Other than they are leaving the takeover to 'a team of lawyers' to deal with all the legal stuff. Tch. Amateurs. If they have any sense they'll start posting updates on here asap. We need to be kept informed.
thorpie the sinner Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 until I see Swiss Toni on here, I won't have any faith in the Swiss!
Polaroid Saint Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Something's been bothering me for some time. What happened to Nicks A thru to F ??? Eh?
Master Bates Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 "I'm glad it's quiet, i'm currently imagining the little elves in the background working away at the deal, chipping and chopping away".
Dog Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Don't worry chaps, the DEAL will be done and dusted on friday afternoon. FACT
OttawaSaint Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Don't worry chaps, the DEAL will be done and dusted on friday afternoon. FACT LOL. Same **** we have been fed for 6 weeks...
trousers Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Don't worry chaps, the DEAL will be done and dusted on friday afternoon. FACT I've got the last two letters in that acronym but can't work out the first two. Any clues? cheers
trousers Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 What are the odds on this thread getting to 100 pages before we get taken over?
St_Tel49 Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 What are the odds on this thread getting to 100 pages before we get taken over? 1/10
krissyboy31 Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 What are the odds on this thread getting to 100 pages before we get taken over? Longer than those of the server crashing again, when a proper press conference is called.
Joesaint Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Don't worry chaps, the DEAL will be done and dusted on friday afternoon. FACT Err is it possable to tell us any more, cant this be dont thursday. OR are you guessing? don't want to seem patronising but alot has been said!
thefuriousb Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 I've got the last two letters in that acronym but can't work out the first two. Any clues? cheers F**k All Chance, Trousers ??
Viking Warrior Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Saints in the South wrote Meridian said they phoned Fry twice today & he said he was in negotiations at both times. Hopefull of a deal tomorrow. I shouldnt pay to much attention to Meridian especially with dineage at the helm. He is probably trying to wind gullible saints fans up again Talking of wind ups. Is the Swiss clock ticking or is it winding down? Also has Farmer taken the crown from ST David re the wind up merchant on takeovers. If I had known he was involved with SFC76 and the foreversaints site. I would have given his recent posts on here a much wider birth.

Nothing to do with Dippy Dineage, Andrew Pate was the reporter and he is a big Saints fan.

At what stage would they start to sell season tickets then?
Stanley Saint Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Nothing to do with Dippy Dineage, Andrew Pate was the reporter and he is a big Saints fan. Agreed. I know Andy and he's Saints through and through.
