trousers Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Because the thread was people scoring points against / slagging off Lowe & Wilde and ended up a slanging match Aye...fair dos....but if one squinted enough the 'juicy' bits in between the name calling was "quite interesting"....
benjii Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 So a fixation on Alan Shearer is influencing his choice of club? Bit odd.
trousers Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Anil Ambani was the person i was alluding to in this post last night. I know
Big Bad Bob Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Deja vu then. Have you posted this before?? Ignore it, it's a glitch in the Matrix........Neo
saint lard Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Tenous link time,just for a change,he is into cinema and bought into dreamworks sometime ago alledgedly a suitor for SFC had links to Deamworks. He has also looked at Leeds united,this was mentioned only a few days ago,that the person who looked at leeds was also casting an eye in our direction. Pure speculation of course.IMO.
saint lard Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Anyone fancy a multiplex on the royal pier/mayflower park area,bars,restaurants and somewhere to moor a fook off yacht.

He has also looked at Leeds united,this was mentioned only a few days ago,that the person who looked at leeds was also casting an eye in our direction. Pure speculation of course.IMO. Would that be the alledged previous suitor who sold his shares in Dreamworks?
Weston Super Saint Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Anyone fancy a multiplex on the royal pier/mayflower park area,bars,restaurants and somewhere to moor a fook off yacht. Doesn't all that already exist in Ocean Village :smt115
benjii Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Anyone fancy a multiplex on the royal pier/mayflower park area,bars,restaurants and somewhere to moor a fook off yacht. Nah, mush. Round of pitch and putt down Weston Shore any day. Ponce.
saint lard Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Would that be the alledged previous suitor who sold his shares in Dreamworks? i don't know,who bought them.
Amesbury Saint Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 http://asturius.com/group.html full of info
Weston Super Saint Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 http://asturius.com/group.html Stunning.

I very nearly mentioned that earlier but thought I might become too predictable....perish the thought...!!
trousers Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 http://asturius.com/group.html Is 'Asturius' a purposely misspelt 'Asturias'....?
Weston Super Saint Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Is 'Asturius' a purposely misspelt 'Asturias'....? It's a takeover. ****ed up spelling on websites meant to fool people is the norm isn't it?
saint lard Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Doesn't all that already exist in Ocean Village :smt115 Not like the domed one he built in Mumbai with his entertainment company Adlabs.
buctootim Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 http://asturius.com/group.html The amount they spent on graphic design takes your breath away. This takeover is going to awesome. Clearly they have the budgets of small countries.
benjii Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Stunning. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here? Clearly the site is not active. It tells you it is under construction. Now, it may or may not be anything to do with Saints but the Asturius companies are genuine companies and Dave Merrington is involved with at least one of them (I haven't checked the others). Personally I have some doubts that it is anything to do with Saints - largely because of Asturius Bridgend; what the hell is that? There's a place called Bridgend in Northumberland as well as South Wales. Isn't Dave from round there? My inkling is that he is involved in some sort of business venture unconnected with Saints but involving some people he may have met due to his Saints links. Neverthless, this is an interesting line of enquiry that can't be dismissed out of hand IMO.
saint lard Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Is 'Asturius' a purposely misspelt 'Asturias'....? Please tell me you haven't just worked that out;)
TopGun Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 The amount they spent on graphic design takes your breath away. This takeover is going to awesome. Clearly they have the budgets of small countries. You're just a graphic design snob Buctootim!!! They have nothing to say yet so that's better than many holding pages!
benjii Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Asturius is a principality in spain. No that's Asturias. No wonder these takeovers take a long time. Can be confusing.
buctootim Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 You're just a graphic design snob Buctootim!!! They have nothing to say yet so that's better than many holding pages! Tis all true. Found this whilst looking for a good comeback. Amazing what you can find searchin for "crap graphic design"
saint lard Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 No that's Asturias. No wonder these takeovers take a long time. Can be confusing. I stand corrected,cheers, i am very confused with all the shenanigans going on.
trousers Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Please tell me you haven't just worked that out;) worked out what? it was a question. but, yes, by and large i can be a few yards off the pace at times...
dubai_phil Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 I stand corrected,cheers, i am very confused with all the shenanigans going on. Bad news There's no shenanigans So you just joined the massed ranks of the confused in the community Welcome to where the rest of us live :-)

Saint_John Posted 13 August, 2008 Posted 13 August, 2008 Anil Ambani was the person i was alluding to in this post last night. I am not ITK and have not received any text, so I do not know where this name has come from but there is a business link from him to a well known Saints fan. There are a number of Directors (approx 100) for the educational institution called - Indian School of Business. http://investing.businessweek.com/businessweek/research/stocks/private/board.asp?privcapId=11482545 Anil is one of them (in fact there are a number of very rich people on that list including the qpr owner etc). Another on the list is Girish Venkat Reddy who is CEO and CO-FOUNDER of a american Hedge Fund called Prisma Capital Partners. One of the other 2 co-founders is a well known Saints fan. http://investing.businessweek.com/businessweek/research/stocks/private/people.asp?privcapId=9518498 However, I have noticed over the last 18 months that whenever the dark lord has problems suddenly a Takeover rumour appears to distract attention. Just a feeling I have. John LOWE OUT !!!!!
dubai_phil Posted 13 August, 2008 Posted 13 August, 2008 I am feeling melancholy, Your feeling Mel and Chloe? lucky bstd...

Master Bates Posted 13 August, 2008 Posted 13 August, 2008 Got a horse to bury? Not sure what's going on up there, a request from a client. Maybe it's his wife.
dubai_phil Posted 13 August, 2008 Posted 13 August, 2008 Chloe Ashcroft? And there you have it at last, proof positive on a takeover thread..... Jackanory, jackanory....... Meanwhile - my mates got a couple spare JayZeeBeeSeas (the fake Chinese versions) over in Sharjah you can have free for a day MB. You ok for the airfare? Should fit ok onto tht new Emirates A380, couple of Breweries should cover it
trousers Posted 13 August, 2008 Posted 13 August, 2008 And there you have it at last, proof positive on a takeover thread..... Jackanory, jackanory....... It was 'Play School' to be precise but still fits the bill....
dubai_phil Posted 13 August, 2008 Posted 13 August, 2008 It was 'Play School' to be precise but still fits the bill.... No no no. It was in your mega detective mould... Childrens TV Series = tenuous link to Jackanory = Asturius Sports see even us foreigners can play at being Hercule Poirot :-))))
miserableoldgit Posted 13 August, 2008 Posted 13 August, 2008 No no no. It was in your mega detective mould... Childrens TV Series = tenuous link to Jackanory = Asturius Sports see even us foreigners can play at being Hercule Poirot ))) HP WAS a foreigner. Unless you happen to be Belgian.

Neverthless, this is an interesting line of enquiry that can't be dismissed out of hand IMO. Simple really.... IF - and it's a mighty big IF as far as I'm concerned - this consortium are going to takeover SFC, why would they bother going to the trouble of making their own website? And why would they need the Sports and Hospitality section on it? I'm assuming that IF they were to takeover SFC that would also include taking over the Official Website, which has adequate provisions for sports and hospitality doesn't it? Other than that, if they aren't taking over SFC - IMHO far more likely - how is a completely unheard of company going to attract corporate hospitality guests to unknown sports events?

We agree then - I don't think it's anything to do with Saints either. Sorry, I was just confused by your post which seemed to suggest that becasue the website is unspectacular at the moment, it was somehow invalid. Cheers, benjii.

Just a feeling I have. John LOWE OUT !!!!! A rather tenuous "link" though. On looking at the first list of names the only link was possibly the name of Michael Dell ;I can't believe that a man with his billions and that surname is not seeking to buy us as we speak.
Badger Posted 13 August, 2008 Posted 13 August, 2008 The Joy of speculation.. After last summer I think many Saints fans on here have a problem with premature speculation.
Master Bates Posted 13 August, 2008 Posted 13 August, 2008 After last summer I think many Saints fans on here have a problem with premature speculation. So thought it said something else
