lordswoodsaints Posted 12 July, 2013 Share Posted 12 July, 2013 Was it Paul Allen? The fella that supposedly wanted to buy the club and everything around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncanRG Posted 12 July, 2013 Share Posted 12 July, 2013 He sold our transfer secrets to the NSA. Can't keep anything under wraps these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleonothing Posted 12 July, 2013 Share Posted 12 July, 2013 I know a couple of people who work on his yacht. It is, as far as I know, currently in the South Pacific. No idea if Paul Allen is onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
once_bitterne Posted 12 July, 2013 Share Posted 12 July, 2013 It was all bollux. One the Hoos/Hone crew confirmed that what happened was that the club had a phone call from someone saying they represented Allen but when the club did some enquires this person was not who they said they were. The press and mongboards did the rest, but I would strongly suspect that even to this day Paul Allen hasn't the faintest idea that there is such a thing as 'Southampton Football Club'.

Coincidence then that after supposedly being in the market for a football club he buys a MLS franchise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verbal Posted 12 July, 2013 Share Posted 12 July, 2013 Indeed. That 'someone' was tommac, who met a couple of Allen lawyers as part of his job as a sales manager for a private jet firm, and who made claims to the club based on the vaguest of conversations he had with them while he was trolley-dollying. Mary Corbett tried to track down the source of the supposed offer and found no evidence for it whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
