trousers Posted 8 October, 2008 Share Posted 8 October, 2008 Today is the day the Lords, flatcaps, dutch duo and insects are finally banished, and a new glorious era begins under infallible leadership of Alan Shearer.

Perhaps it's the 'Fulthopre Consortium' dipping their toe in the water to make sure their trading account is still active before going for 'the big one'..... However, I floated this 'minuscule trade' theory last year amongst the Saints Forum glitterati and I believe the verdict on my thinking was "dozy tw*t"....or words to that effect....

Window Cleaner Posted 8 October, 2008 Share Posted 8 October, 2008 The financial situation is such that a club could easily sink without trace if the current climate does not improve. If the market rejects the bale out in the USA, everything is in doubt. In fact this is what football needs, a major European club to be wiped out of existence.West Ham would be most people's favourite.With football debt running at 3 billion or so, the only way back to reason is for a front line club to crash. When compared to Man U,Chelsea and Liverpool, who apparently have a billion in debts between them ,our 30 million (including a long term mortgage) is a mere trifle.

dubai_phil Posted 8 October, 2008 Share Posted 8 October, 2008 I think it is fair to say that the incredibly fast moving melt-down in the financial markets has put a potential spanner in the works of many previously well run clubs. There's a long way to go yet. Who lent the Glazers their money in their leveraged deal to buy Man U and for how long? Any of these deals that involved leveraged loans and length of loans that the buyers could have expected to be automatically rolled over may find their lenders don't have the money available any longer. Look on the bright side - maybe Barclays or NU will go bust and we don't have to pay them back ... think wishfully it could happen in the la-la land of the Asturius Thread:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunrise Posted 8 October, 2008 Share Posted 8 October, 2008 Takeover talk is just like a lame horse -it should be shot and disposed of.

Saint_John Posted 8 October, 2008 Share Posted 8 October, 2008 I few week ago (late August) on this thread I posted the following re the Old TV Studios :- Of course there might not be any planning application yet, for example this appeared in the Echo (27 August) while you were on holiday re the Old TV Studio. http://www.thisishampshire.net/mostpopular.var.2433837.mostviewed.citys_tallest_building_to_be_built_on_former_tv_studios.php And that is "months away from a planning application" John LOWE OUT !!! It looks as Meridian may be may be going to sue Oakdene over the lack of a Planning Application. http://www.propertyweek.com/story.asp?sectioncode=274&storycode=3123962&c=3 It says there should be a planning application in November.

The current malaise in the property market is a golden opportunity for some to buy development land and indeed stocks and shares at the bottom of the market and bide their time for the upward swing that is bound to follow. yes but when there is SO much destruction and despair in property why add to the cost by buying a football club which is at the end of the day a bottomless pit of needing money... 1) They have to be able to buy the land at rock bottom prices - don't see Rupe's selling Staplewood for 50p yet and not sure the coal board pension fund is that keen to lose money, and with construction dropping why would RMC want to move out?. 2) They could probably buy half built houses/offices at rock bottom from existing developers who are overstretched (some are selling places off less than half price) Oh and 3) here's one to make everyone think. When does the Jacksons Farm option expire? How likely are Bovis to take up the option? And finally why sell to a developer when you have the experience on your own board and you have 3 years of recession to play with the politics opf planning approvals....... Long Term planning????
