Why do people do this? Do you honestly think that its hard for ANYONE to call SMS and ask if there has been a press conf arranged for today? They used to ask what paper you were from, now they dont even do that.

 

Shocking as it is, they have no knowledge of a press conference being called today.

 

Its really starting to **** me off TBH. If you have info you want to pass on great but can you please give it some kind of backing ie a taxi driver told me..... or Mark Fry told me......or my talking parrot told me......

Not everybody, I think you'll find that both Toomer & I have consistently voiced this concern.

 

The thing is we have both become cynical in our old age.:)

Ha, I'm off on Holiday now. What a great time to go away without football for a week. When I come back hoepfully the club will have new Owners, we will have lost to Eastleigh and made at least one signing.

 

For those who aren't going away and will watch and wait for takeover news, I salute you.

There are a lot more fans with the same worries as you..ESB, TOOMER and RICHMOND...

 

I have always thought there was something strange about the.. Jan transfer sales policy or lack of it..Administration itself...Unexplained cheques presented, -10 points and cut off date etc...Certain peeps still in place at the club, Jones and Tointon as Directors, Wotte running the side.. which I find totally absurd in view of what he achieved all season.........Even the Administration company their staff and recent strategy concerns me.

I can hear the rustle of Ra Ra skirts and Pom Poms..

Rupert, The Lavender Hill Mob and THE LUVVIES have never truly gone away...

 

Club on the cheap.....WOULD HE BE SO CLEVER? I HAVE NO TRUST IN THIS PERSON WHATSOEVER...

 

 

I still live HOPE that real business/footbal peeps......MLT, Salz and Crouchey got to be better than a bunch of Retirement homes peeps...

 

 

Would Barclays and Aviva entertain Rupert again or would they want a sum of money, at the end of the day, from anyone...

I think we both think there is something strange about the timings etc. You point your finger at RL. Interesting as he and Askham and co had a lot to lose that they had in shares still in the club (whilst it is fair to say they did not pay for them, they were still assets), as for outside spectators ???

So, imagine for a moment what might be the result if somebody had done that....

 

1) Fry could have had a fit as it was probably covered in the NDA leading to them being kicked out

2) Aviva could have had a totally different figure or structure that they would accept to the one Fry was asking for leading to a great deal of "confusion"

3) Barclays/Aviva could have refused to have any meetings themselves

 

Now one of those would lead to Fry kicking a bidder out, one of those would seriously unsettle a proper moneyman and one wouldn't make a bit of difference either way....

 

Would be interesting to find out what actually happened for ALL of the groups.

 

Oh and Benji, you are of course so right.

 

I see where you're coming from, but handled in the right way I don't think there would be any toy tossing. I'm not suggesting marching up there and banging on the door, obviously.

Don't worry nick old boy....This was not one of my dreams......This has been an ongoing nightmare since Rupes turned up in Southampton:rolleyes:

 

One day hopefully the man will leave the football club alone and concentrate on his flourishing businesses like WH Ireland..

Love the photo. Think I got the message. Pic makes me feel even older.

There was a film of their Hyde Park(?) open air concert on Sky Arts a couple of months ago. That certainly made me feel old!

I have just received an email informing me there is huge problem facing Southampton Football Club if they attempt to play under the name. Being considered by the Football League in Administration they require permission and the licence to play as Southampton Football Club. Does this include friendlies? If they should appear as Southampton Football Club without prior permission and licence they will be under threat of a further points deduction. Can anyone enlight further on the matter and if correct what do, or have, the so called Directors of Southampton Football Club done about it?

 

 

 

 

PS That is not Eric Clapton in that photo, it's Stevie's elder brother Muff Spencer.

All covered by a tax free bonus at the end of the financial year. Factored into my cynical gut feeling.

Muff was Director at Watford sometime in the past.....

Don't they just play friendlies under the umbrella of "a Southampton XI", or does that still count?

As far as the FL are concerned Saints have been in administration since April 2nd (???) If what you are saying is true then how come they let us finish the season just gone? How is that, I think, Darlington have played

in their division while under admin?

 

i think this may be a bit of a hoax, but who knows with Saints?

You're joking, right? That must be the Muff Spencer who played with the Stevie Davis Group then!

I believe that our license was revoked when we went into administration but we can still carry on as members of the FL for 18 months whilst in Admin. Therefore although they will not reissue a full license until after any takeover has been complete, there must be some sort of temporary license system, which I'm sure Jones/Tointon are aware of.

Found a new one while in UK.....

 

Not on sale here so brought some back with me....

 

Branston Hot Jalapeno relish.... much better

 

Just checked the cupboard and we've run out!

 

Is this is the tomato based one in a squeezy, stand on the lid type bottle?

 

It's superb with a nice mature Cheddar and lifts a Bolognaise sauce no end!

 

A sauce that bites you back.

 

It's also fabulous on a nicely griddled burger. Best get out and replenish your stock...

I used to work for a company that had a lot of dealings with the Woolwich [building Society, then plc], including up to board level. When Woolwich was folded into Barclays we were unceremoniously dumped and the company eventually folded after a slow lingering death.

 

I've never really cared what happened to the Woolwich bods after then but I've just noticed that one of them went on to form Barclays Capital Mortgage Servicing. Didn't have an awful lot to do with him, it was more his subordinate who I dealt with. At least someone did OK for themselves out of all this crud...

 

They were quite enjoyable days though, thinking of that dump in Crayford they used to have to work in lol.

 

Sorry I know this has nothing to do with Saints :)

 

Oh except from the fact that I feel like I've indirectly had a double stuffing from Barclays over the last 5 years...

Spencer Davis Group surely

 

 

Of course, but I think Art's eyes must be going if he thinks that wasn't EC in the photo. And his memory too - Stevie was in Blind Faith and the Spencer Davis Group; Muff only in the latter as far as I am aware.

Anyone with better google skills able to find out if a Mr Richard Fry has recently joined Begbies?

 

Apparently it was on their web site because somebody emailed it to me, however when I google it it shows up on the partner page but there is then no mention of the article, so I am now either in receipt of an email showing games being played OR somebody has covered up and explosive piece of information

 

http://www.begbies-traynor.com/richard_fry/29

 

and the link to us...

 

http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/untoldstories/4356000.Barclays____huge_profits_will_only_rile_Lowe___Co/

 

The name occurs just past half way

 

So the man who strangely pulled the plug on our overdraft and appointed Begbues Traynor then appears as a new partner on the BT web site and is then removed...

 

And interestingly the email does have an independent confirmation that the old phot was the same Mr R Fry. But as it no longer exists I can only post the links I can find
