One thing's for certain about Long Shot though: he's not Marc Jackson, because he hasn't mastered the ability to torture us and the English language at the same time.

Interesting you should mention Marc Jackson... a Bournemouth-supporting mate of mine sent me this link, which shows he's at least persistent and still very much "active"...

The "plans" by andysith are probably the highlight :D

Didn't his username use to be lifelong cherry ? Why has he changed it, or have I got that wrong ?

They're really not making him very welcome at Bournemouth or treating him with sufficient respect. Do you think we could get him back here again?

That leaves the ginger one, or our Harley Street MOT man.

 

Or Morph - who TBF never promised a thing but seemed to be very much ITK and who was, I always imagined, a benign old man with white hair and a stick......

 

All IMHO of course

Shouldn't someone from here pop over onto that Cherries forum to say "hello from all at TSW" (nee TSF) to our dear departed friend....for old times sake....?

Not forgetting 'Diggers' - another 'bean spiller' gone quiet of late....;)

Not sure. You may be getting confused with him changing his name on here from LifeLongSaint to Cherrypip ?

Reading that thread on the Bournemouth site was really cringeworthy and brought back some very funy memories remembering his rants, fantasising, bullsh7ytting, threatening et al on here.

 

Then I came to that fag packet plan and the coffee went everwhere. Almost as funny as our Barry The Briefcase (when someone out the Pilbury Dough Man's face on there) and the first Ted Bates Statue.

 

PS (Can someone put a few of the Barry photos up again????)

Type 'Barry the Briefcase' into google, and it appears our Barry has had a makeover, and a move across the pond....

...rather take our chances with the present Board rather than feed your ego by having you involved...most of us realise that the club is virtually fooked...but it has been for the last ten years or so anyway...mainly because it has fallen for the promises of the like of you and got them involved with running the club....IF you had anything at all to offer then I guess Southampton would be begging you to join them in their survival mission...and you should

 

Im gonna save that and come back to you with that one in a few months !!

 

He's not planning a return is he :shock:

 

If he and tommac came back we'd all have to donate another fiver to upgrade the servers again :rolleyes:

I like the way you've gone from someone who innocently 'bumped into Mr Fulthorpe' on Saturday, to knowing pretty much every minor detail regarding the takeover of SFC.

 

You're right though, it is usually the messenger that gets shot, especially if the message turns out to be untrue ;)

 

Helpmerhonda pulled out of the takeover because of sexist comments so beware. We all have a duty to give this takeover a chance and not jeopodise it with what we post on TSW.

Thanks for reminding me.

 

I'd forgotten how much of a vital part we play here on TSF / TSW.

 

Very remiss of me, so I can only apologise :rolleyes:

I really hate to start another "takeover" thread but at the same time it is important that this forum gets up to date "report back" if it is going to be taken seriously. I was lucky enough to be a guest of corporate hospitality at Doncaster yesterday. Also there was J Fulthorpe and, because we had both placed lucrative bets we fell into an interesting conversation around the Ladbrokes desk, post match.

 

Without going into the nitty gritty he insisted the takeover is still alive and could happen this week. I told him that everyone was fed up with the "its about to happen any moment" rumour and now was the time to deliver or shut up. He accepted that criticism and said things had been awkward recently (Rupert) but he was confident "it" would happen. I asked him where the money was coming from and if the credit crunch problem would harm things. Apparantly the "money" is from the USA/Germany/Canada.

 

This is the first time I have met JF and I have to say although I felt him to be a friendly and avuncular man I do think he could be regarded as a bit of a "Walter Mitty". I hope I am wrong, fair play to him for being there alongside John Cousins. Apart from that the only other person I recognised sitting nearby was Leon Crouch. During the match I sat near him and Andrew Cowan greeted him as our seats were very near the director's box. (Rupert Lowe and Mike Richards were present but no sign of M Wilde). I am going to make no further comment on this thread, indeed I was reluctant to make it in the first place but I do feel a certain duty to let the fans know what I witnessed yesterday. Personally I don't think a takeover with JF will happen but I think the bloke has at least tried to broker something and after all he is at least a fan who wants what is best for our club.

Anyone bump into Fulthorpe tonight?

Is he still looking to buy a football team?

 

He was in construction and was looking at a leveraged buy out.........

 

Say no more

 

Except, anyone of us could have gone to Merill Lunch and pulled the same stunt

I'd say its a long shot...

I promised not to post for two reasons. One, the ****e I received on here by people who had nothing better to do than pick wholes in my punctuation, which begs the question, why should I enlighten some complete strangers who only seem to revel in nit picking while by doing so would potentially loose an old friend.

Two, I gave them until my wife gave birth, (see did on wed morning) so now I'm released from my promise, but the more I think about it I just don't really think I've got much to gain blabbing on an internet site something that was told to me in confidence. I must say that without at all trying to tease that it would make bloody amusing reading to many...It'll keep!

According to Wild-saint it could all happen next week?

See, that's much better.

 

Wholesale rumour mongering without actually saying anything at all.

 

Genius.

you should ignore those sad cases who pick holes in your punctuation, this is a football site but they don,t seem to understand that.
