SET Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 I'm led to believe that the following is one of those looking at the club. Charlene De Carvalho £2.10bn Daughter of the late Heineken owner The door to the chief executive's office at the brewing empire weighs a ton. It is because Dutch beer baron Alfred 'Freddy' Heineken had the executive suite bullet-proofed after his three-week kidnapping ordeal in 1983. His only child, Charlene de Carvalho, was also the victim of a scare in 1996. Charlene, 49, inherited a 25 per cent stake in the business when Freddy died in 2002, but leaves the day-to-day running to management. Increasing competition has hit shares and her stake is down to £2 billion. The mother of five lives in London with investment banker husband Michel de Carvalho, a former British Olympic skier and child actor who appeared in the film Lawrence of Arabia. With dividends and other wealth Charlene is worth £2.10 billion.

Think she was mentioned on another thread yesterday....on there it was said she lived in or around Winchester and Everton had approached her previously... Perhaps we could have Heineken on the shirts instead of FlyBe next year - at least the beer would improve at St Marys....
thorpie the sinner Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 I can see saints being sold at the Brookfield car boot sale unfortunately!!!! love the news though!
Red and White Russ Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 I thought all the straws had been used up. Obviously not.:smt083
Channon's Sideburns Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 Does she have a yacht Does her dad own a brewery......... (Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson if anyone doesn't remember..)
bridge too far Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 Does she have funny earlobes and wear short-sleeved shirts?
saint_ed Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 Used to live pretty much next door to her. Would be very surprised if she had any interest in taking us over.
SET Posted 5 April, 2009 Author Posted 5 April, 2009 She's been asked to come on board by a former director
beatlesaint Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 She's been asked to come on board by a former director Mary Corbett ?
VectisSaint Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 Would this mean Joe Jordan would be heading back our way?
Arizona Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 I posted this away shirt last summer when Poortvliet was appointed: Think it looks pretty good if I do say so myself.
SET Posted 5 April, 2009 Author Posted 5 April, 2009 look horrible, but then no shirt with a sponsor on looks good.
SET Posted 5 April, 2009 Author Posted 5 April, 2009 Mary Corbett ? Not going to confirm or deny any names of where this came from.
SaintBobby Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 Well, I think a £2bn owner would be good news obviously.... I imagine we'll get a lot of these rumours in the next few days, probably lots of chaff and very little wheat.
dubai_phil Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 Don't think she has enough mate to beat off the competition We all see it's likely Leon's pulling the strings and he's worth.....
SaintRobbie Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 I posted this away shirt last summer when Poortvliet was appointed: Think it looks pretty good if I do say so myself. Refreshes the shirts other beers couldnt reach!
SaintRobbie Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 Don't think she has enough mate to beat off the competition We all see it's likely Leon's pulling the strings and he's worth..... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! ... let Phils comment be even truer! lol !
Saint Matty 76 Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 I posted this away shirt last summer when Poortvliet was appointed: Think it looks pretty good if I do say so myself. I don't mind that, but I'd hate to see us in green.
saint_ed Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 I don't mind that, but I'd hate to see us in green. Looks like something the Soviet army would wear....horrible.
Arizona Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 What a shame...Burley missed out.... I think he's more of a 'Grouse' kinda guy.
Channon's Sideburns Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 I think he's more of a 'Grouse' kinda guy. Had to laugh, the Scots are really starting to lay into him lately.....especially after the rumours on 606 are that he allowed Ferguson and McGregor to start drinking at 2am in the team hotel...only for them to still be drinking at noon... Hmmm.. pre-season reminders for anyone??? Don't think he'll be there much longer - good bit of business that.
Eastcowzer Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 Refreshes the shirts other beers couldnt reach! Not much Red & White about it thiugh
Arizona Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 Looks like something the Soviet army would wear....horrible. Too much like our home shirt aswell. Would be an issue for eg. if we stayed up and had to play 'boro next season.
bridge too far Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 It would be great to have a female owner though
saint_ed Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 It would be great to have a female owner though Yeah....just like Delia Smith eh If she wants to plough money into us then fine, but as long as she isn't anywhere near football matters
bridge too far Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 Yeah....just like Delia Smith eh If she wants to plough money into us then fine, but as long as she isn't anywhere near football matters She who pays the piper............
SaintRobbie Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 I hope Mr Fry is looking for the best deal for Southampton FC rather than the best deal for the bank in the short term... that's my only concern.
Puddings and Monkeys Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 I hope Mr Fry is looking for the best deal for Southampton FC rather than the best deal for the bank in the short term... that's my only concern. He has a legal obligation to get the best deal for the creditors - i.e. Aviva and Barclays come first.
Jillyanne Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 The green shirt is horrid imho, so is the beer. Oh and Delia didn't actually 'own' Norwich as far as I know.

Hmmm.. pre-season reminders for anyone??? Don't think he'll be there much longer - good bit of business that. I thought it was Burley who was buying the rounds. I thought it was shocking for Burley to have the nerve to suspend players for drinking. Pot, kettle and black spring to mind.
Legod Third Coming Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 How bad is the beer if Heineken is an improvement? Maybe she could reach the parts other owners haven't...
ottery st mary Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 The green shirt is horrid imho, so is the beer. Oh and Delia didn't actually 'own' Norwich as far as I know. Jamie Oliver told me personally that Delia not only put 11 million into the club..Her catering is better than St Marys as well....Mind you she has no money left now....If they go down she has had her chips.
thorpie the sinner Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 I hope Mr Fry is looking for the best deal for Southampton FC rather than the best deal for the bank in the short term... that's my only concern. yeah, it does raise a question! What criterior is Mr Fry is looking for? This is probably the most vital event in our entire history, one that is going to define our foreseeable future!!! Will Mr Fry be making a decision that is the best available to club or his company!! How does it work????

This is probably the most vital event in our entire history, one that is going to define our foreseeable future!!! Will Mr Fry be making a decision that is the best available to club or his company!! How does it work???? He is looking to get the best possible result for the lenders. Ideally he wants to sell the business as a going concern. If he cannot he will sell whatever assets he has to the highhest bidder to pay back the lenders as much as possible. Of course, we do have an advantage in that a football stadium, while worth a great deal on paper, is actually worth very little unless you bulldoze and build on the land. And who would buy property on the burial ground of a 124 year old football club...

hamster Posted 5 April, 2009 Posted 5 April, 2009 It would be great to have a female owner though But at what cost bridgey? Who's gonna be the one to tell Hilda the tea girl that she's being replaced by cheap foreign labour?
