fos1 Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 If this happens I would not like to be sat in Lowe or Wildes seat on Saturday !!
trousers Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 i wonder what tommac and saintlee think about it all I can understand the reference to Tommac, but why SaintLee? Was/is there more to Saintlee stopping posting on here a year ago(ish) than meets the eye???
um pahars Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Yes Ok but why would anybody leak them? Loose lips and not realising how quick news travels???? Also there's no damage done now as the market is shut and you might want a sympathetic media (i.e. The Echo) to be told tonight so they can tell your side of the story when the announcement is made. Here's another reason why shares could be suspended (i.e. it doesn't have to mean administration, fingers crossed anyway).: MILLWALL FOOTBALL CLUB SHARE PRICE SUSPENDED The directors of Millwall Football Club announced today that pending the refinancing of the company they have asked the stock exchange to suspend its shares. A statement said: "As in recent years, there was a funding requirement at the footballl club which had traditionallly been satisfied by the sale of players. The directors wished to refinance the club in order not to have to sell its best assets and this process has taken longer than anticipated." A further statement will be issued as soon as possible.

hypochondriac Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Maybe no one wanted to buy If you were a championship club who would you buy? Rubbish. We could have sold Davis and a load of the youth players some people would take a punt at. As it was we got Size in on loan. Hardly the actions of a company a couple of months away from meltdown.
Alain Perrin Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 I don't get the desire/delight for administration. Worst possible scenario for Saints in my opinion. Very few clubs have done well following it, and it could mean years in the wilderness with the same folk in charge. A PLC is far more transparent and easy to influence than a private company/fiefdom.
thorpie the sinner Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 lets all just keep the faith tonight!!! Its a longshot but it may just work!!
trousers Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 I don't get the desire/delight for administration. Where have you seen that?
hypochondriac Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 If this happens I would not like to be sat in Lowe or Wildes seat on Saturday !! I doubt they would attend. There will be pitch invasions for sure (maybe the Charlton fans could join us!)
Mole Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 lets all just keep the faith tonight!!! Its a longshot but it may just work!! Is that a hint?
hypochondriac Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 lets all just keep the faith tonight!!! Its a longshot but it may just work!! That reminds me of rubbing a pic of Beckham's foot before the world cup.
thorpie the sinner Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 is longshot coming back as well!!!!????
ottery st mary Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 ha ha It's i got the train robbery reference i was just thinking of that guy who got busted after faking his death while canoeing...only to be found in South America. Remember the canoeist..Think he is now called Rupert..:---) Was at UCAS in Cheltenham the other day and walked across to the race course and spoke with a Manager supervisor..re betting..Told him about Saints, Rupert and debt...He said something about flogging a dead horse and the gambling world that he knew thought we was a busted flush...But then again we all knew that..Now that racecourse appears to be a very well run business...Instead of all the Polish people...No offence peeps..We should get all the Irish over to support the Mighty Saints. Come Back Paddy Lowe all is forgiven.
um pahars Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 I don't get the desire/delight for administration. Have I missed something????
Mole Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Stanley? Delighted isn't the right word. Find a word for accepting the inevitable is going to happen, and that's the word to use.
thorpie the sinner Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 That reminds me of rubbing a pic of Beckham's foot before the world cup. ha ha!!! Me and the bottle of Staropramen are keeping the faith together as we speak!!
hypochondriac Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Is that a hint? I was going to post that...
Alain Perrin Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Where have you seen that? Stanley setting off fireworks and firing his AK47 in the air.
tommi Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Crikey...don't do that to me...looking at your user-id out of the corner of my eye I thought Tommac had returned for a brief moment...! Sorry mate, no chance, my head is firmly on my shoulders not stuck half way up my arse! Words always come back to haunt you, I can still hear Rupert say it now............. ...we will never do a Leeds. I could cry.
Under Weststand Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 I don't get the desire/delight for administration. Worst possible scenario for Saints in my opinion. Very few clubs have done well following it, and it could mean years in the wilderness with the same folk in charge. A PLC is far more transparent and easy to influence than a private company/fiefdom. Sorry seen know delight for admin on here tonight. But as for years in the wilderness :smt017 well were being lead there anyway at the moment.
John B Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Rubbish. We could have sold Davis and a load of the youth players some people would take a punt at. As it was we got Size in on loan. Hardly the actions of a company a couple of months away from meltdown. No I agree with you I think we may have sold if we were in deep trouble especially Dyer. However I am not certain that there were potential buyers for any of the others thats all
hypochondriac Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Delighted isn't the right word. Find a word for accepting the inevitable is going to happen, and that's the word to use. Desire surely?
Whitey Grandad Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Delighted isn't the right word. Find a word for accepting the inevitable is going to happen, and that's the word to use. 'Resigned'
hypochondriac Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 No I agree with you I think we may have sold if we were in deep trouble especially Dyer. However I am not certain that there were potential buyers for any of the others thats all I wasn't saying everyone but certainly Dyer, Davis Surman Lallana and Saga would command some sort of fee if we were actively looking to sell. Didn't an article say we had turned down an offer for Dyer and wanted half a million? How would we be in a position to do that if admin was imminent?
trousers Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Stanley setting off fireworks and firing his AK47 in the air. Ah, ok. Apologies, I sniffed a hint of plurality in your post. My mistake.
thorpie the sinner Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 I was going to post that... no, it was only my last desperate attempt to keep the faith!! We are saints, we are battlesr, thats what we do isn't it!!!
Nineteen Canteen Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 I too thought this was a well timed reappearance. I don't like to disappoint the Dan Brown of the forum aka Trousers but I've never gone away just prefering to read rather than post. Saw FF's thread and everyone immediately assuming it was administration and League 1 and all that and just wanted to point out given the timing of the annoucement it may be just an annoucement to suspend trading on the LSE. FF points to a board meeting later tomorrow but in any event you would expect that following an LSE annoucement suspending trading activity. If that is the case as it seems no one actually knows what the annoucement is going to be and we are all just making educated guesses, even those suggesting its an April fool to feed the forum is perhaps not beyond the bounds of possibility. Of course it could be the worse news but equally there are many plausible reasons why trading has to be suspended that doesn't automatically mean the worst of news. Its rarely going to be great but equally it doesn't mean we are going out of business just yet. So let's hope Stanley the Saints fan isn't laughing tomorrow.
hypochondriac Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Yeah Yeah Yeah that's it. I am certain you have stated your desire to go into admin to rid the club of Lowe.

Viking Warrior Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Well Alan Shearer is not joining us. he's about to takeover at newcastle for the remainder of the season So thats one rumour put to bed
Alain Perrin Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 'Resigned' True for some. Equally some are promoting it as a 'preferable' [to Wilde and Lowe] option. I don't agree, nor do I think the bracketed assumption is a given.

Jonah led me to believe the share price crashing was nothing to worry about. I feel let down.
Graffito Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Well I don't like the fact that we should have released our interims at the latest today (I'm sure the rule is three months from year end whch was up today) and not sure whether anything should be read in to that delay. Other than that I'm just praying that it's for some other reason e.g. Birmingham suspended their shares recently when Brady and Sullivan were arrested (not that I'm suggestig Lowe and co are to be arrested!!!). Is failure to file accounts sufficient reason for suspension perhaps?
thorpie the sinner Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 I was referring to the poster by the same name. Sorry, I am just replying blindly to everything!!! Step back, take a breath.......
trousers Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Why are "plumbers" and "Saintlee" getting mentioned in passing tonight? 101 ways to wind-up a conspiracy theorist?
ITKSaint Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 If true, I am heartborken. You want to get that looked at lol It it ain't bork, don't fax it?
Mole Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Why are "plumbers" and "Saintlee" getting mentioned in passing tonight? 101 ways to wind-up a conspiracy theorist? Whatever happened to Saint David?

hypochondriac Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 I did not befriend Sundance Beast. I befriended Nineteen Canteen who had altogether a different style and much more polite. Anyway he has gone now. Whilst WestTender and a couple of others could engage him is sensible discussion many could not. Intriguing? Possibly.
Mole Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 I am certain you have stated your desire to go into admin to rid the club of Lowe. Correct.
trousers Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Whatever happened to Saint David? Returned to dentistry in Harley Street last I heard....
hypochondriac Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Whatever happened to Saint David? Last time he was banned a reappeared until I outed his new persona which was then banned again. I imagine he has a new name and is posting on here.
