Toadhall Saint Posted 2 July, 2009 Share Posted 2 July, 2009 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......

Um Bongo Posted 2 July, 2009 Share Posted 2 July, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evo Posted 2 July, 2009 Share Posted 2 July, 2009 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.

ART Posted 2 July, 2009 Share Posted 2 July, 2009 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?

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? 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.

Fowllyd Posted 2 July, 2009 Share Posted 2 July, 2009 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...

Evo Posted 2 July, 2009 Share Posted 2 July, 2009 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...

dubai_phil Posted 2 July, 2009 Share Posted 2 July, 2009 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.
