Weston Super Saint Posted 8 July, 2009 Author Share Posted 8 July, 2009 I'm ashamed of you lot. No-one's giving a thought to poor little Micky Fiasco, sat in his room at his mum's sobbing his little heart out. Saints fans aren't what they used to be. By the way, I take it your views on clubs being owned by foreign sugar daddies and buying their way to promotion are softening somewhat from what you've said to me in the past? We only slated the foreign gun running drug dealing ones tbf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sholing Shadow Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 Corporate Ho makes a really good point. I was worried about English football - and the national team - but probably from a Saints viewpoint. My views have changed for some reason. I guess Marcus is now Saints. Its all good. We need more harmony in the world. I dont care if we dont buy expensive players anyway, I'll be making even more of an effort to drive down from Northampton now. By the way T'Tim; did you play for Warsash Wasps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Warrior Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 The Skates up here are not happy with our takeover" Seems they have thrown their toys (JCB's) out in a huff "Police are appealing for the owner of two black and yellow children's JCB diggers to come forward and identify their property". The sit-on toys were recovered from the playpark area of Lynn Crescent, Kirkwall, following an incident on Tuesday, July 7. Time to open the Bollinger.

Dalek2003 Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 This is a sweet moment. We will start the long road upwards and the Skates decline will begin.

Tony Lynam Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 Good evening everyone First of all, I would like to express my own welcome to the new owners of this great Club. Whilst selfishly dissapointed that our deal did not come to fruition, I am selfessly pleased that a new owner, who looks to be a great prospect, has bought the Club. I know many will ask questions over the coming days and weeks about the other parties interested in the Club, and whilst I'll be happy to answer anything within reason (and permissible under the NDAs which I had to sign), I really hope this is the beginning of a new era in the Clubs history and you guys get all that you deserve. For my part, having become involved with the Club in an advisory capacity to interested parties, I've got somewhat of a bug - and I must confess that I may well now have to make the time to come and support the team. I wish the new owner all the very best, and I really do hope that all of your true fans can unite and give your total support to make this Club great again. You guys are the bread and butter of the future, and I'm sure the vast majority of fans will turn out in their numbers and do their bit. All the very best Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Bognor Posted 8 July, 2009 Share Posted 8 July, 2009 ****ing Brilliant! Living down here has never been so hard over the last 3 years as a Saints fan, but now....... Living in a PO postcode has never felt so good!!! We get Markus, they get nothing (by the sounds of it). Had a bit of fun with a few Spuds fans tonight along the lines of "We now have the 4th richest owner, but don't worry yours is still top 5!!!" Skates and Spuds are reeling. Can someone pinch me, just in case this is all a dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knackered as I was I couldn't help but read every article 3 times just to be sure ! I watched Mark Fry on video, Tony Husband on the box, and SSN going round and round again just to make sure ! I look forward now to 8/8 when we play Millwall (bring on the footy), all I need is the matchday buzz and maybe, just maybe we are on the up again ! Danke schoen Markus, ich bin zufrieden!

I have spent the evening celebrating and thanking him up there that in the end neither of us were successful and that in many ways we can continue to lead normal lives. It has been a crazy few weeks of stress effort and cost for all of us, but right now who gives a damn, the club is safe and for all my *****ing and conspiracy posting I would be happy to buy you a beer or a lunch when I can get back to see the Mighty Saints.
