EastleighSoulBoy Posted 5 July, 2009 Posted 5 July, 2009 Starting my new job tomorrow, I will probably be out of the loop until I get near a radio from 16.30 onward. I'm really hoping that I tune in to mass hysteria and the news that the Swiss Guard have formed outside SMS. However, my chickens are not counted and neither are the eggs collected in the one basket. Probably omelette for tea?
kpturner Posted 5 July, 2009 Posted 5 July, 2009 There are only two Saints directors, Dave Jones, the finance genius, and Ken Thointon, appointed by Begbies Traynor. Somehow I can't imagine either of them spilling any beans halftime at Silverlake.Quite - so likely to be complete speculation. Fingers crossed though - this guy would have to get it right one day (by the law of averages).
S-Clarke Posted 5 July, 2009 Posted 5 July, 2009 think about me! I have predicted by 5pm tomorrow otherwise I get banned from site!!! Wow - that's a big prediction. Maybe you can re-register after 5pm

St_Tel49 Posted 5 July, 2009 Posted 5 July, 2009 Well he achieved his aim, to keep Saints in the CCC. That makes him a winner doesnt it? If I achieve an aim I regard it as being successful. Unless Wotte's aim was to relegate us of course which would make it a draw! As always Robbie - you see what you want to see. I wanted Pearson to stay - so I could be considered a supporter of the big man. However, he was dependant on other results going our way on that last day. It could also be considered that he had a far stronger team at his disposal.

thorpie the sinner Posted 5 July, 2009 Posted 5 July, 2009 Damn should have made it a poll and banned everyone who gets it wrong I will have to say my goodbyes about 450pm as I won't be able to after that lol!
dubai_phil Posted 5 July, 2009 Posted 5 July, 2009 I will have to say my goodbyes about 450pm as I won't be able to after that lol! Now if you could only get some others to sign up with you to this deal....
suewhistle Posted 5 July, 2009 Posted 5 July, 2009 I suppose I've been lucky as due to a flat move and Italian telecomms inefficiency I've been bereft of contact with the outside world... so can anyone summarise what's happened since last Tuesday?! As I live half an hour from the border with Switzerland should I be off there tomorrow to do some research? It seems we are at least within sight of actually continuing in existence so do I disconnect for another week and hope the news will then be better. Oh gawd, this is excruciating.

Sue You've been off line for a week. Things are happening. Obviously YOU are the llucky mascot so take one for the team and we'll see you back here next Sunday with it all done and dusted and the 7th (ish) richest club in England...

Been away for 3 days and now only have net access via mobile. Please give me a brief update as would take 3 weeks to trawl this on my phone. Cheers

Please give me a brief update as would take 3 weeks to trawl this on my phone. Cheers the group fronted my MLT are a sham and we all got taken for a ride.. this swiss group were interested from the start but did not feel they could go up against a bid backed by our legend and who spouted getting in Keegan as manager etc no the pinnacle chancers are seemingly out of the question the swiss are apparently cery close to buying us and again, apparently they are farking minted too
diggers Posted 5 July, 2009 Posted 5 July, 2009 A Saints Director or an Eastleigh Director? If the former then there is a good chance it is true. If it's the latter (and it's my mate) then it will be speculation (delivered in a confident "this is fact" manner). I make money by betting against everything he relays to me as fact. That'll teach ya for drinking in the Waltham Wine Bar!

Hmm, not based on the games I've seen on my last few visits to the UK. Let's hope I'm luckier when [if?] we play Millwall. What I know of the Swiss is that don't spend their money freely...

I regret though that just reading it does not make it more likely to happen.
Badger Posted 5 July, 2009 Posted 5 July, 2009 Wikipedia link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebherr_Group and we still get a mention here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Allen

um pahars Posted 5 July, 2009 Posted 5 July, 2009 no still think he looked an idiot. Are you related to NP - you get very agitated over justifying him? He's my brother in law, but that aside I was merely correcting the numpty who was earlier getting all bolshy about Pearson's record and then started to get sarky when confronted with the fact he was talking ******. Pearson did not really prove himself here one way or the other, he merely did what was asked of him, but when put against Poortvliet and Wotte then he certainly looks a better choice.
qwertySFC Posted 5 July, 2009 Posted 5 July, 2009 Similar story posted on the automotive industry professionals web site , again just links but seems to be banded about a bit on Industry web sites that Liebherr are bidding for SFC

Rattlesnakes doesn't open until 7pm tonight! Hope that the whole takeover thingy doesn't happen today.. It MUST be Friday - then we have a proper reason to go to Waxy's & Karaoke on Friday! (Oh alright that's WAY too long to wait!)
thorpie the sinner Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 All joking aside, I really think we should have a resolution today. the contracts are drawn up and waiting to be signed. Yes, there are complex issues involved, but these should have been sorted by now!! We need to start selling season tickets, looking at decent players within our budget and working on a solid pre season! I hope the Swiss sign on the dotted line, and it ends the uncertainty. Ten point deduction means we need about 85-88 points to get in play offs, emminently achievable. Let the good times start today!

dubai_phil Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 Phew, well done to Thorpie, some serious debate about his choice of type face and his subsequent banning order has seen us safely over that critical milestone for this morning's events yep it drove us across the 95 page barrier Has TSW actually had a thread that reached 100 pages before? Are we experiencing the Wimbledon Final of takeover threads? What will happen when it is revealed that it was one of Leon Rupert Askham MJ TL Helpmerhonda Harry Redknapp Barry the Briefcase The Fake Sheikh Thaksin The Big Bad Wolf Adolf Hitler Josef Mengele Richard Fry etc That was the "middleman" for the consortium.........
OldNick Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 I know one of the directors of Eastleigh - huge Saints fan and good friends with some of the better known ex-players. He is always giving me ITK information on Saints, has done for years. It has always proved to be 100% incorrect :-) I hope it wasn't him that your mate overheard (or was speaking too) because if it was then I am now a disappointed man. I want this Swiss thing to be true.If the swiss do take over Wotte will stay as manager
Cascadia Saint Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 Well, the echo are on top form. Apparently Saints' Swiss bidders 'tick all the irhgt boxes' says Fry My brain went irhgt weeks ago.. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/4475934.Saints__Swiss_bidders__tick_all_the_irhgt_boxes__says_Fry/
hypochondriac Posted 6 July, 2009 Posted 6 July, 2009 If the swiss do take over Wotte will stay as manager Did they say why? If you have billions seems an odd choice
