thorpie the sinner Posted 4 July, 2009 Posted 4 July, 2009 Thorpie are you still sure the Monoco lot are ahead of the Swiss?? no i was only going on what Nick G and Derry said yesterday! I am hoping the Swiss are in fronmt, just a gut feeling as we know nothing about them. i like the way they have kept their counsel!
Victor Posted 4 July, 2009 Posted 4 July, 2009 Thorpie are you still sure the Monoco lot are ahead of the Swiss?? Monoco? Sounds like an oil company - should have plenty of money.
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 4 July, 2009 Posted 4 July, 2009 Monoco? Sounds like an oil company - should have plenty of money. As long as it's not Conoco!
SuperSAINT Posted 4 July, 2009 Posted 4 July, 2009 Well yesterday the Echo were reporting that the mystery finance group were in pole-position - Today, they're saying it's the Swiss. Basically, they have no idea do they!
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 4 July, 2009 Posted 4 July, 2009 Batchelor = Loon. I think you're on to something here. And that's a polite name for him after his 'sponsorship deal' with persimmon homes when at York City! That report makes Lowe look like an angel! wouldn't it be funny if I was called a Lowe luvvie now?

Saint Billy Posted 4 July, 2009 Posted 4 July, 2009 What the Echo reports does depend on what is being said on here. Which is worrying!

weaver girl Posted 4 July, 2009 Posted 4 July, 2009 Richard Williams fronts bid to take control of Southampton Football Club from from the telegraph and angus
Master Bates Posted 4 July, 2009 Posted 4 July, 2009 Richard Williams fronts bid to take control of Southampton Football Club from from the telegraph and angus Yeah that's Gillico Ltd, he's the sole director. Echo says Swiss still front runners and could be announced as early as Monday as owners, once final paperwork has been completed and signed off.
SaintDonkey Posted 4 July, 2009 Posted 4 July, 2009 Richard Williams fronts bid to take control of Southampton Football Club from from the telegraph and angus Who he? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Williams The presenter from the 'Old Grey Whistle Test', the Everton keeper in the 1893 FA Cup final, or the Welsh conductor?
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 4 July, 2009 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.
SaintRichmond Posted 4 July, 2009 Posted 4 July, 2009 Who he? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Williams The presenter from the 'Old Grey Whistle Test', the Everton keeper in the 1893 FA Cup final, or the Welsh conductor? With our luck .... the Everton keeper .........

The vultures are circling and some of them have no good intentions whatsoever.
OldNick Posted 4 July, 2009 Posted 4 July, 2009 Hmmm..has 23% stake in Cement Company....could be interested in the site across from SMS then.. It will give Wotte a chance for his side to cement a place in our history......lame

Master Bates Posted 4 July, 2009 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

Mabes Posted 4 July, 2009 Posted 4 July, 2009 I have heard rumours that Lowe is involved in one of the bids. I personally think he has some unfinished business at our club and at least we know we would have someone in charge that can run the finances well. And before you all start, he did ok until Crouch got involved!!

RonManager Posted 4 July, 2009 Posted 4 July, 2009 That is certainly what I have heard. He has publically said he loves this club despite everything. C'mon, he deserves a chance at least? I've found him doctor, he'd broken into an internet cafe and he's posting random messages on a football club web forum. There, nurse, put the straight jacket on - easy now Mr Lowe, take the nice medication and you'll soon be back in your 'happy place'
saint1977 Posted 4 July, 2009 Posted 4 July, 2009 That is certainly what I have heard. He has publically said he loves this club despite everything. C'mon, he deserves a chance at least? Ha Ha. Don't be too certain of your takeover Skate, Campbell and Crouch don't think it is going to happen do they? Now go off with your tatooed Stella-drinking friends and set fire to a paedatrician's car in Paulsgrove.

I wont name my friend as it wouldnt be fair.. but its safe to say Damian Bryant from Botley wont be getting my password again!!!!

Badger Posted 4 July, 2009 Posted 4 July, 2009 That is certainly what I have heard. He has publically said he loves this club despite everything. C'mon, he deserves a chance at least? Thought about it and the answer is no he does not deserve a chance.
