Saint Billy Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 And meanwhile we currently have a team that cannot beat Eastleigh and Totton! Get on with it ffs, this is all serious prep time we are losing!
Weston Super Saint Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Wave just spoke to Simon Carter from the Echo and he stated the world wide group were still in talks with Fry last night !!! FFS Fry stated that the funds were being transferred yesterday didn't he?
SaintRobbie Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 obviously is NOT a done deal as many said last night Worse case scenario? We get taken over in a few weeks by a better consortium. I think we should relax. Nice that everyone wants us... just a bit worrying that we are running out of time to get a new manager and team to stay up next season let alone go for the playoffs.
S-Clarke Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Wave just spoke to Simon Carter from the Echo and he stated the world wide group were still in talks with Fry last night !!! FFS Fry wouldn't be doing his job if he was not talking to potential investors, whilst the swiss are not 100% tied up yet. If this goes tits up and he's told all the other bidders to go home, what do we have left...?
SaintRobbie Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Fry stated that the funds were being transferred yesterday didn't he? The Times still believes its all about to happen.

the scud Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 People are stating to gather outside staduim reporters etc, Ive just been told, could this finally be it??? hope so!
Weston Super Saint Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 The Times still believes its all about to happen. I'm prepared to believe Fry more than the Daily - make it up as we go along or copy off TSW - Echo.
ruddick Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Right I live in Liverpool - many miles away from SMS - instead of sitting on our bums here reporting what a friend of a friend says is happening at SMS we bloody well need someone to get down there! Any volunteers?
nickfinks Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 And meanwhile we currently have a team that cannot beat Eastleigh and Totton! Get on with it ffs, this is all serious prep time we are losing! i have to agree with you there, i mean we should still beat these guys shouldnt we?
Weston Super Saint Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Fry wouldn't be doing his job if he was not talking to potential investors, whilst the swiss are not 100% tied up yet. If this goes tits up and he's told all the other bidders to go home, what do we have left...? Maybe he's telling them to fck off?
Barry the Badger Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Starting to worry now - this should have been tied up at least an hour ago. Why?
Eastcowzer Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Wave just spoke to Simon Carter from the Echo and he stated the world wide group were still in talks with Fry last night !!! FFS Sticking point:-Who get's the picture of the train, and for how much. ?
S-Clarke Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Maybe he's telling them to fck off? i bloody well hope he's confident enough to do that!!...would hate it to drag on anymore.
Window Cleaner Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 And meanwhile we currently have a team that cannot beat Eastleigh and Totton! Of course we do, they don't play in the second half that's all.
alpine_saint Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 1pm solent news: YET MORE MONTHING FFS Its going to be another month ?
SaintDonkey Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 People are stating to gather outside staduim reporters etc, Ive just been told, could this finally be it??? Just in time for the daily 2pm press conference rumour!
supergoose Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 I'm 99.9% confident we'll be under new ownership by September.
SaintRobbie Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Just in time for the daily 2pm press conference rumour! Are there any Press vehicles at SMS? If so they are unlikely to be there on a whim.
WhitmonSaint Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Worse case scenario? We get taken over in a few weeks by a better consortium. I think we should relax. Nice that everyone wants us... just a bit worrying that we are running out of time to get a new manager and team to stay up next season let alone go for the playoffs. I don't think we're getting a new manager. Not this summer anyway, Wotte stated he spoke with the Swiss bid 4 weeks ago and was very happy with what was discussed. He also wouldn't have turned down the chance to go to Egypt if he didn't know what was happening here. I think he'll be given a chance, even if it's only to allow some continuity and to not hinder season preperations any more!
slickmick Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Anyone else have a bad feeling this bunch of c**ts trying to hijack the Swiss deal have managed to get hold of Fry and turn his head ? And that amongst the shadows Rupert Lowe is lurking ??? Yep, nothing would surprise me regards Saints.
Matthew Le God Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Are there any Press vehicles at SMS? If so they are unlikely to be there on a whim. It is lunchtime. BBC and ITV local have daily sports reports every lunchtime. Most days they do a report from the stadium. If there is a takeover or not. Doesn't mean anything significant will happen.

I think he'll be given a chance, even if it's only to allow some continuity and to not hinder season preperations any more! He never quite said he had been offered anything though. Never seemed as confident as you may be making out. What's more, if he was anticipating staying he would probably have tried to impress his new owners by getting his side motivated enough to beat two local teams that are as good as the best pub teams in the country. Mind you, could be he DID try and was ****e. Or could be that he didnt because he knows the jobs his! Mystery isnt it!?

Matthew Le God Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Live from St Mary's on Sky sports News coming up! Just been announced. Likely to just be an update of situation.
Window Cleaner Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 . He also wouldn't have turned down the chance to go to Egypt if he didn't know what was happening here. QUOTE] Are you kidding, I'd turn down the chance to go to Egypt if someone might offer me a paper-round.
slickmick Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Live from St Mary's on Sky sports News coming up! Just a rehash of whats been said already no doubt.
phillo Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Well, I've just driven past St Mary's and there was a single cameraman there with a white hat on in an Volvo XC90 stood opposite the Ted Bates Statue.

Graffito Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4481187.Swiss_deal_virtually_complete/
JustMike Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4481187.Swiss_deal_virtually_complete/ thats what the bbc said yesterday!!
SaintRobbie Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 I want to keep posting chill out its coming... but last time I did that MF bottled it and Pinnacle ran away! So, stay on the edge of your seats and debate, who knows what will happen in the next 60 mins! lol!
S-Clarke Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 jesus - SSN know how to keep fans glued to the TV. Get on with the update you said you'd provide for petes sake...
SaintRobbie Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 thats what the bbc said yesterday!! Nah its an Echo 'exclusive' apparently posted a couple of minutes ago... Echo exclusively read some comments on here and then posted it.
S-Clarke Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Nah its an Echo 'exclusive' apparently posted a couple of minutes ago... Echo exclusively read some comments on here and then posted it. about right
OldNick Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 more importantly have South Today given anymore updates on the cat that was missing a couple of weeks back?
sussexsaint Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 Come OOOOOOOOOOOON please..... If it could be announced in husky tones by the long legged lady that would just about be perfect. Of course the next sticky thread will now be management /staff/boardroom/players
Gemmel Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 I reckon Sky Sports will break the story on completion. They are stalling going down to the club , duplicating other stories and interviews......waiting for confirmation that funds have arrived and deal is complete.
Window Cleaner Posted 8 July, 2009 Posted 8 July, 2009 I want to keep posting chill out its coming... but last time I did that MF bottled it and Pinnacle ran away! So, stay on the edge of your seats and debate, who knows what will happen in the next 60 mins! lol! MF didn't bottle anything, he completed alright,his p*sstake that is.
