Amesbury Saint Posted 26 June, 2009 Posted 26 June, 2009 Assuming the club will cease at 5pm Friday 3rd July we have just over 161 hours left to complete the takeover
docker-p Posted 26 June, 2009 Posted 26 June, 2009 ....or re-form as Southampton 1885 in the blue square league.
pilsburydoughboy Posted 26 June, 2009 Posted 26 June, 2009 ....or re-form as Southampton 1885 in the blue square league. Will you be the new ruddy cheeked leader?
Leslie Charteris Posted 26 June, 2009 Posted 26 June, 2009 Yep, someone needs to put an actual, genuine cheque or money order for a substantial amount of cash into Mr. Fry's hand within the week or SFC is history.
docker-p Posted 26 June, 2009 Posted 26 June, 2009 Will you be the new ruddy cheeked leader? If you so desire. You hear Ivan Golac has been kicking off down the pub recently?
pilsburydoughboy Posted 26 June, 2009 Posted 26 June, 2009 1885 for me.I want to leave some heritage for my family.
docker-p Posted 26 June, 2009 Posted 26 June, 2009 I'd go for Southampton City FC. Not another City! Manchester, Lincoln, Norwich, Bristol, Birmingham, Coventry etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc. Southampton 1885. It's unique, original, and provides a link to our heritage.

Amesbury Saint Posted 26 June, 2009 Author Posted 26 June, 2009 perhaps someone can set up an online coundown clock for us.
Mole Posted 26 June, 2009 Posted 26 June, 2009 Southampton 1885. It's unique, original, and provides a link to our heritage. It's also very cheesy.
Polaroid Saint Posted 26 June, 2009 Posted 26 June, 2009 1885! I do like the European teams with dates in their names n that. I think Southampton 1885 would be much better than a lame United, City, or AFC. Yes it's cheesy. but mmmmm I like it.

Leslie Charteris Posted 27 June, 2009 Posted 27 June, 2009 I can hardly bring myself to consider it, but 1885 Southampton FC would get us to the top of a lot of lists. (Alphabetically)
Polaroid Saint Posted 27 June, 2009 Posted 27 June, 2009 It'd be a mental chant too. Bizarre: 1885! 1885! 1885! 1885! 1885! 1885! 1885! 1885! 1885! 1885! 1885! 1885! 1885! 1885! 1885! over and over again...

Badger Posted 27 June, 2009 Posted 27 June, 2009 Viking Southampton Reminds me when the football club is sorted we need an ice hockey team. Red Star Southampton Southampton AO Southampton YMCA (christ no,imagine the players running out to Village People.Surely more appropriate for Brighton Southampton Miners Welfare or White Star Southampton (with its Titanic links) Red Funnel Southampton Southampton Colliery (perhaps not) Southampton Synthonia or a Scottish bias : Southampton Academicals Southamptononians
ooohTerryHurlock Posted 27 June, 2009 Posted 27 June, 2009 Reminds me when the football club is sorted we need an ice hockey team. or White Star Southampton (with its Titanic links) Red Funnel Southampton Southampton Colliery (perhaps not) Southampton Synthonia or a Scottish bias : Southampton Academicals Southamptononians That would sound right for the blue square!!!! As for links with Titanic....... famous for a disaster and sinking.... hmmmm!!!! more apt now I think Southampton 1885 FC ..... Its Quality!!!!!

eelpie Posted 27 June, 2009 Posted 27 June, 2009 Why is Friday 3rd July significant? Surely the publication of League 1 fixtures is the deadline. Is this 5pm this coming Friday?
Amesbury Saint Posted 27 June, 2009 Author Posted 27 June, 2009 Why is Friday 3rd July significant? Surely the publication of League 1 fixtures is the deadline.

This is a countdown thread. (add smilely face and awaiting infraction point)
egreog Posted 27 June, 2009 Posted 27 June, 2009 My guess weeks ago that this would go right to the wire look to be right............however I cannot feel any confidence that a deal will now be done and the whole thing may collapse very soon..........so sad , but yet so predictable
Amesbury Saint Posted 27 June, 2009 Author Posted 27 June, 2009 149 hours to go (based on a final deadline of 5pm Friday)
Beer Engine Posted 27 June, 2009 Posted 27 June, 2009 One option for Fry is to take the existing club into next season in administration. He does have a statutory duty to try and rescue the club as a going concern if possible - and this duty could eventually realise his other duty which is to get as much for creditors as possible. He doesn't need to worry about existing debt. If he is satisfied that the club can break even on a day-to-day basis during next season (and this could be achieved by negotiating a mortgage holiday with Aviva and getting the top earning players off the books) then he could start selling season tickets on Monday and raise the money needed to pay the players and staff until gate receipts start to come in.

Not more common sense solutions to practical problems

gjphilsaint Posted 27 June, 2009 Posted 27 June, 2009 listen there is nothing to worry about there are plenty of life boats.. and anyway.. this club is "unsinkable"!
tommi Posted 27 June, 2009 Posted 27 June, 2009 I have said many times before, these deals always go right to the wire, you never see a football club smoothly coming out of admin, its always and 11th hour deal..........
docker-p Posted 27 June, 2009 Posted 27 June, 2009 I have said many times before, these deals always go right to the wire, you never see a football club smoothly coming out of admin, its always and 11th hour deal.......... Very true. In fact Coventry City was 11th hour and 59minutes i think. Worth remembering as we quietly go mad waiting for something to happen.
SaintBobby Posted 27 June, 2009 Posted 27 June, 2009 Very true. In fact Coventry City was 11th hour and 59minutes i think. Worth remembering as we quietly go mad waiting for something to happen. Yeah, but as others have said, Coventry were bailed out one minute before going into administration, not one minute before liquidating. Big, big difference.
