EastleighSoulBoy Posted 4 July, 2009 Share Posted 4 July, 2009 Just read this and you'll really not want this shyster anywhere near us: http://www.chad.co.uk/stags/John-Batchelor-answers-YOUR-questions.3923617.jp The sheer arrogance and stupidity of this man is typified in this answer to a question: robbie33: Is it really such a wise idea to invest in MTFC? After your previous history in football, Mansfield fans are all doom and gloom and a number are not going to buy season tickets next year because of your involvement in the club. How can you turn MTFC into a money making business if there is no confidence in you from businesses and fans alike? How will you persuade people that you will be trying your upmost to make MTFC successful again? In what way do you differ from Keith Haslam, in terms of running a football club? After 6 weeks of knowing him, I'm sure you will have some idea of the way KH works. JB: People will make their own decisions, if (in the words of my illustrious predecessor at York, Douglas Craig) they don't like what we have on offer then they don't have to come do they? I will budget for no fans turning up at the ground, which really every club should do. As you will have seen from my replies, I am not trying to attract negative thinkers, either get behind this, or watch football somewhere else. IF I am successful in achieving ownership, this will be MY club, MY business and up to me to provide entertainment, it is MY risk. Come and watch if you want. I'm sorry if all of that sounds a bit brutal, but those would be the facts of life, and I do not want to get off on the wrong foot by telling anybody something that is misleading, as I said in an earlier response I have that T-shirt. What do you want? I would have thought that it would be better to start off with honest responses. I am in this to make money, I'll only achieve that if MTFC works on and off the pitch. :smt118 Budget for no fans turning up? Errr, no fans = no income in these nether regions of the FL. So, from this, I can see that he had an agenda in Mansfield's case. Put the club to the sword and then sell the ground for whatever. In my humble opinion this man is a shyster and a charlatan! He should be kept at least a million miles away from our club. If you feel we have suffered enough, and we have, then our present suffering would seem like heaven if this man gets his foot in the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Bates Posted 4 July, 2009 Share Posted 4 July, 2009 Administrators in charge of Southampton are confident of concluding the sale of the stricken club imminently. A Swiss consortium is believed to be the front-runner to complete a takeover at St Mary's after the Matt Le Tissier-backed Pinnacle group pulled out this week. "We currently are very confident that a sale will be achieved and that this process will be concluded very shortly," said Fry. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/football-league/swiss-group-set-to-acquire-stricken-saints-1731020.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
