BARCELONASAINT Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 If this story had come from anywhere but the Echo i would have a bit of optimism.....however we all no what complete crap the Echo prints, a group of school kids could produce a better and more accurate tabloid :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Tender Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 Wilbur Ross, the industrialist and investment banker who has homes in Southampton and Palm Beach, is at $1.7 billion. Although this sounds good to us Southampton folk, I would have more of a suspicion that a rich billionaire based in New York would have a home in the USA Southampton millionaires resort area, rather than the original English one. If you can indeed prove that he lives at this Southampton, that would add credence to linking his name, but I suspect you cannot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 Industrialist Ira Rennert, who built the 110,000-square-foot palace in Sagaponack, is on the list at $3.5 billion. Marc Rich, the wealthy Wall Streeter who lived in exile in Switzerland for 15 years to avoid an indictment until finally famously pardoned by President Bill Clinton, is at $1.5 billion. His ex-wife, Denise Rich, with whom he has remained friends through it all, has a house here. Wilbur Ross, the industrialist and investment banker who has homes in Southampton and Palm Beach, is at $1.7 billion. Related's Stephen Ross, the skyscraper builder, is at $4.5 billion. And Vornado's Steven Roth, another skyscraper builder, is at $1.3 billion. Speaking of the letter R, there is no Rattiner on the list. There may have been one before, but if there was, he has dropped off. Mr and Mrs Rich. By the way, that'll be Southampton, USA, I expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egreog Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 Frankly I would consider it all p*** and wind........there has been so much sensationalism in the past few weeks and total tyrekickers who have sought their moments of notoriety on the back of this crisis.........this is probably just another hopeless thread that will come to zilch......just like the rest of them!

(not THE) Kevin Moore Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 I haven't got the patience to trawl through this website to see if this has been linked elsewhere. But someone somewhere has linked 'multi-national Financial services company' with Aviva. complete speculation no doubt but would it be their last resort? I'd imagine they don't want to own a football club but if the alternative is to see their millions flushed down the toilet and leaving them with a worthless stadium... then it wouldn't take that much of a leap? All they'd have to do is pay Barclays, and Aviva spend more than that on sponsorship deals (fook knows how much they sponsor those yacht races for).

ALWAYS_SFC Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 Their sensationalist b*llocks is much more accurate than your sensationalist b*llocks. Wrong every time, alpo. Your continuing obsession with our fellow poster from Austria is hilarious. If those close to you realised your infatuation i am sure they would be a little worried for your well being.

CB Fry Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 The Echo have made a fortune the last couple of months from the fair people of Southampton by posting wilding oscillating slants on stories at SMS and hooking people in. I've stopped reading the sensationalist b*llocks You must be getting your retarded reactionary misinformation elsewhere then. The Echo is not "making a fortune" out of anyone. The local press nationally and internationally are one of the few industries more ****ed than lower league provisional football. If the Echo printed nothing for two days in a row you'd be frothing like a ***** on here and you know it, and you used to slag off the OS for printing anodyne interviews with our managers. Alpine in "just moan like a slag about everything" shocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All they'd have to do is pay Barclays, and Aviva spend more than that on sponsorship deals (fook knows how much they sponsor those yacht races for). I hazzarded the guess that the International Financial services company might be Aviva, for exactly the reason that you have outlined, that they are the holders of our loan on the stadium. As you say, it is probably not them, but they do have some reason for considering it. And if it came to pass, this from Saintalan is just brilliant:- And we're off to see Southampton play A Viva Southampton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigthesaint Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 I've just had a call from my mates old man who was speaking to Wotte down at Hamble week tonight and Wotte was not overly forth coming with information but he did say that Mark Fry has give him all indications that a takeover will be completed and announced by the weekend and hinted quite heavily that Red Bull have something to do with it. My mates old man felt that Wotte was trying to give off the impression that he never knew a great deal but reckoned (and understandably so) he knows a great deal more but didn't want to say too much.

Gordon Mockles Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 Sounds positive but their's always doom & gloom around the corner. That's not actually cynical, more realistic! LMAO Sadly true if you're to believe history. I'm adopting this outlook, then maybe I'll be proved wrong. Reverse "sod's law". Worth a try. Won't say anymore or it'll ruin it.

Any idea how he was giving 'hints' about Red Bull....? Was it like a game of charades where he stood up and put his fingers to his head, scuffed his right foot whilst making deep mooing noises and slowly going red in the face.....or was it less subtle than that? cheers (p.s. there's actually a serious question in there somewhere!)

craigthesaint Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 sorry guys can't tell you anymore than what i posted above but i said i'd ring him tomorrow about something else so i'll question him a bit more then. Saint stevo in reply to your final statement i can only think that he (Wotte) has obviously answered the questions that my mates dad posed but rather than giving solid definite answers to a fan i can only assume they were answered giving reassurances with a bit more foundation as they are coming from someone who should know what's going on but obviously can't say too much. And Trousers I don't know how the Red Bull bit come about, maybe wotte bought my mates dad a Vodka and ....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintsmike25 Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 Todays Echo is a more positive read Potential foreign owners (not Swiss) in late night talks (worldwide financial services group). Last remains of due diligence being completed, lawyers finalising contracts. In the background, plans were being mapped out for their first days and weeks in charge so they can hit the ground running. The Swiss one is a one wealthy person industrialist. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4467677.Potential_foreign_owners_in_late_night_talks_with_creditors/ I think Zurich are a Swiss company?

My mates old man felt that Wotte was trying to give off the impression that he never knew a great deal but reckoned (and understandably so) he knows a great deal more but didn't want to say too much. Wotte's always like that. He knows how to feed tit bits but only says what you wanna hear. Nothing too revealing. Football manager's must be well honed at this. Especially with our past Chairman being the king of b*llsh*t, plenty to learn from. And Trousers I don't know how the Red Bull bit come about, maybe wotte bought my mates dad a Vodka and ....... Now I know you're lying. Wotte's a bit tight with the rounds! Still owes me a beer after he had a few free G&T from our kindly lot before leaving on his round. He earns how much a week? Pah!!
