thorpie the sinner Posted 3 July, 2009 Share Posted 3 July, 2009 May I humbly suggest that just for today you do NOT use a PINNACLE ball. As you know the perfect golf swing is all about timing and rythm. If you keep looking down and seeing Pinnacle I worry that you may just (like some of us) want to thrash the cover off the ball, and of course, it will end up going nowhere I have always had trouble with Pinnacle balls, especially Pinnacle Gold!! On one particularly day, I threw 8 brand new balls in the lake! I played much better after that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ART Posted 3 July, 2009 Share Posted 3 July, 2009 I must say that I agree with NickG's thoughts and when Fry made his next Friday deadline statement I believe that bids by the Swiss and other mystery Consortium were nearing completion. I believe that today is when he expects to confirm the buyer who'll have been working to tie up the loose ends. :cool: Elsewhere, I was priviledge last night to a text received by HM Customs expressing great interest in AWAC reports and close up shots of Harry and Sandra Redknapp's luxury yacht "BUNG". "BUNG" has been spotted returning up the English Channel from their Mediterranean cruise off Malta, Sicily and Lampedusa!! When "BUNG" sailed out of Sandbanks 3 weeks ago, there were only 4 very pale colored catering staff and the Redknapps aboard. Yet recent AWAC aerial photos very clearly show 22 extremely dark suntanned deck staff sunbathing in the high speed outboard engined equipped life rafts. The mind boggles as to what can be behind this latest Redknapp money earning scheme. Obviously it will be football related and definitely will outshine Harry's overnight scouting trips to Europe to pick up the post. I wonder what it could all mean?

Tom28 Posted 3 July, 2009 Share Posted 3 July, 2009 Before I write what I want to say - just a quick pat on the back for myself - I knew the Pinnacle withdrawal was a bluff. See below...I did however get the motive for the bluff wrong! http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?p=352132#post352132 Anyway, I think we can all agree, no matter what we think of Pinnacle, Michael Fialka or Tony Lynam, what we need more than anything is someone to unite the club and Matt Le Tissier at the helm of the club is the person to do that. Although, its worried me that some posters in recent days have even turned against him - it really does make me wonder about some people. Matt Le Tissier running Southampton Football Club is the thing we need most right now. No, he probably doesnt have much business acumen, but he's a common sense guy and he'll know that, and to mitigate it, he'll surround himself with guys who do know their way around the books. What he will bring is someone who understands what the fans want, someone who, unreservedly wants unconditional success for Southampton football club, and someone who will inspire players, managers, coaches, staff, and fans alike. As fans, we will all have opinions over which players we should buy, which manager we should appoint etc etc. Whatever decisions MLT would take as Chairman, regardless of whether I had a different opinion or not, I would support him, and support his choices. Say what you like about him, the guy stuck by Southampton year after year when any other player would have gone on to a bigger club. He made the club, single handedly, what it was a few years ago, and you could tell, week after week on Soccr Saturday what it was doing to him watching his club fall down the league, out of the top flight and then out of the Championship. Pinnacle buying Saints would give us MLT at the helm of the club and for that reason, I hope beyond hope that they tie up a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SP Saint Posted 3 July, 2009 Share Posted 3 July, 2009 Pinnacle buying Saints would give us MLT at the helm of the club and for that reason, I hope beyond hope that they tie up a deal. I don't. I'm not at all impressed with what I've seen of them so far. I would put them on a par with Jacko. I suspect they have more than a passing interest in the property assets that the company has. Personally I hope that we see an investor who clearly has direct access to the funds we need to grow the club, not a mystery consortium with no clear indication of funds. Anyone other than Pinnacle would be a start in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
