***saints to enter administration***

Apparently they were one photocopier short, or something.

 

Controversial to say the least..!!!

 

Buy don't you just know that '...everybody has a soft spot for Bournemouth FC...' or words to that effect.

 

It would seem not.

I heard they were very much relying on their cut of the Lallana fee if he had been sold in the window.............Saints push Bournemouth into receivership because they held onto Lallana and then went into Administration for the same reason.......????

 

Hmmm.....Interesting....I wonder how much the two clubs have talked about this recently, if at all?

 

Playing career

 

Lallana was born in St Albans but moved to the Iford area of Bournemouth[1] when he was five years old.

He was a member of the Bournemouth Centre of Excellence, where his rich potential was eventually spotted by a talent scout from Southampton, with Lallana snapped up by the then-Premier League club, joining the Saints Academy as a 12–year old in 2000. Southampton paid £3,000 compensation to Bournemouth with further payments of £5,000 and £10,000 when he signed scholarship and professional contracts respectively. The contract with Southampton provides for Bournemouth to receive 25% of any transfer fee, in addition to the payments already made.[1]

A winding-up petition against AFC Bournemouth Limited, heard in the High Court last week, was adjourned until February 11.

 

Could be the end for them. Administration twice has not helped them has it!

I live in Bournemouth and when they first went into administration, none other than our old friend Harry Redknapp said in the Echo,words to the effect of, "this club will never fold, if it comes to it I will step in." He has a soft spot for them since managing them in the 80s. Be interesting to see if he's as good as his word - because I for one don't trust him one iota!

Oh dear, you won't fit in around here. You seem to be labouring under the assumption that going into administration is a bad thing, and does no good whatsoever for the club going into admin.

 

Frankly you're wrong.

 

Administration is a fantastic empowering experience that makes all clubs fifty times stronger than ever before and shooting back up through the leagues like Apollo 11. It will be the single greatest thing that ever happens to us and I for one will be dancing on the streets when we go into admin as it is second only to winning the Euromillions on a quadruple rollover.

 

Or something.

 

Well it must be that for the number of fans on here screaming for us to "take the plunge" and ranting on about how brilliant it will be to have "a clean slate".

Add into that mix, intransigent, egotistical, petty, small minded, dodgy or possibly unscrupulous businessmen, hangers on and general riff raff that the club has hanging around their board room and is it any wonder that Admin has not worked.

 

Sorry - was talking about an alleged club up the road, but suddenly recognised it as allegedly being a club closer to home...

 

In other words CBF you are completely correct and we are just a bigger version of them and admin is likely to have the same result just makes Krasner et al richer

This is absolutely reliable - PLC board will announce 1st week of Feb that company is entering administration. This is info I have obtained this afternoon from a wholly credible source.

 

An absolutely massive blow, as I read this as relegation now a certainty. While it may in the long term prove a blessing in disguise, this will prove the absolutely bottom point we have reached for many decades.

 

I am gutted tonight

 

I cannot share my source, but suffice to say it is a party involved in the process

 

I earlier received a message saying Admin is due on 3rd Feb, so it might be that the rumour is flying around quickly and not true. But if we were going into admin it would have to be before the march deadline?

 

have heard similar.

 

anyone getting back to their sources for updates?

Quite right. I've asked the question on here many times and never got a decent response.

 

Since the -10 points law came in, how many of the teams that entered Admin are better off now, then before (in terms of league position).

 

Answer - none. (Leeds, Bradford, Rotherham, Bournemouth...)

 

IF it meant for sure Lowe et al were gone for good, ace. Somehow i doubt taking admin and the ten point drop this season would mean we would start next season with the clean slate people think we would.

:D Forester joins the ITK Hall of Fame.

 

I suspect he's currently in the snow fields of Devon sort out people's plumbing, which of course puts him out of reach of the internet for weeks on end....;)

Fine, let's do f**king nothing then.

 

What's this f**king miraculous trump card everyóne thinks Lowe has been holding up his sleeve until the 11th hour and 59th minute, despite the stress it causes everyone, that is going to prevent administration happening in any case ??

No, i'm not suggesting nothing. Not at all. I want Lowe gone probably more than the next man. I'm just worried Admin isn't the right route.

 

We need to do something but there is no proof admin will get rid of Lowe or improve our situation. In fact that looks worse.

 

We need to pressure Lowe to quitting and get Crouch in, albeit short term. And to that end get marching, get boycotting, do something and hope beyond hope we stop up in the meantime.

But I'm not entirly sure the expansion of the Kreigsmarine will really help us much .

 

FEck me... cant believe you ent on Wiki to look this up! Cool. but have to agree, i think we need less Uboots and 5 extra battleships to win this war - .... where's Alpine, he would surely say I was talking ****** and that its extra cruisers we need not battleships.... ;-)

Might be more prevalent on here, someone on 606 has had a text from a mate saying we are in administration!. Now thats what you call a rumour!!!!!!!! and all because watford called the game off!!! ah ha

 

Total ********, you only need to check the lse.

 

A club who added to their squad in the transfer window without selling one player, who are just about to fork out for 40 odd flights and accomodation to Jersey, are not close to administration

I read on official site that the jersey government are paying for that gemmel

 

Cheers, hadn't seen that, but stand by what i said, there is nothing on the LSE who would be the first to know and transfer window, suggests we are not close to admin

The only person who said they had a credible source was the guy started the thread. We all know the rules with "itk's" on here.

They say something that doesnt come off and they are full of ****e and get abused. The ones that come off / are correct get forgotten about

Never resorted to this before, but a couple of bottles of 'Hen' and my only sensible response is

 

TW*T

In fairness this rumour was making the rounds within the financial market at the time Forester posted. Exit2 and SteveGrant had heard it. Clearly speculation by some who had a reasonable idea of what is going on and no smoke without fire. We are not out of the woods yet.

 

Sounds ominous WS, are you able to elaborate ?

The rumour certainly came from somewhere and from a high enough source to attract enough respect as to believe it. Without having a go at either side (lowe wilde / crouch), my opinion is that it was done for a reason, much like a couple of other examples of the last 18 months. For what end game or purpose, i have no idea, but i am convinced it was deliberate

Not really. Not because I do not want to, more that I do not have any good information at this stage. Just a hunch picking up various comments.

 

Forester is being derided by some but I suspect he posted it in good faith as I was hearing similar even from a friend in Australia who has family connections in the London Financial Markets.

I've still got concerns about Charlie Sale running the story. My instant thought was that it had come from Lowe.

I might be being a bit naive but I doubt it came from the Lowe or Crouch camp as a deliberate ploy.
