eurosaint Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 I found some interesting quotes from (allegedly) interested parties from the continent : a) "We could get involved but we'll see what comes out in the wash" ! Vim van Persil (Den Haag, Nederland). b) "It may happen for us, I have a nose for thees theengs ! Mathieu Le Depardieu (Paris, France) c) "We checked the 'world class catering' on Saturday, you takin' da pizza" ! Francesco Benalini, (Rome, Italy) d) "The stadium looked good but without underground facilities it was a non starter" ! Rupert Fritzl (Vienna, Austria) e) "We may take a gamble ! Mustapha Punt, (Istanbul, Turkey) f) You vill know that we are coming when you spot a submarine in Southampton water! Boris Von Briefcasky, (Moskva, Russia) g) Our family consortium considered it but felt that we'd be too similar to the previous, failed board of directors ! B und CH koontz, (Hamburg, Germany)
Deppo Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 Some encouraging signs here...hopefully over the next few days some of these will make their intentions clearer. I would have no problems with the foreign ownership of our club under such circumstances.
norwaysaint Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 Thanks eurosaint. I'm actually surprised we're getting a mention in so many countries, but it has to be helping our chances. This is actually making me quite optimistic about finding a good buyer. I tried googling a couple but haven't found anything much out, do you think any of them have the funds to sort us out properly?
Junction 9 Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 Maybe this Van Persil fella already has links with Wotte which could prove to be an advantage in any forthcoming negotiations?

scottzoo Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 brilliant light hearted fun glad to see saints fans have some humor left RL
Atticus Finch of Maycomb Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 The top two look promising, but as we have already found out on neumerous other takeover threads, foreign investment is unlikely. more likely to be souness imho.

saintinlondon Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 haha please tell me that these people are pretending not to get it. this is brilliant!!!

John Boy Saint Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 Errr... what does "Whooooosh" mean? "Smoke ON!!" As Red leader would say mid display. :smt064:smt063:smt117:smt073:smt027
saintsforlife7 Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 Quality, Francesco Benalini - HAHAHA Sounds like an ex-saint if i've ever seen one, hope these people actually realise the joke in this
September Saint Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 These are probably some of the 19 "Interested Parties"
norwaysaint Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 Quality, Francesco Benalini - HAHAHA Sounds like an ex-saint if i've ever seen one, hope these people actually realise the joke in this Be careful taking the ****, those few treating this like it's some big joke. Any one of those on that list might look at this forum, (it's happened before) and see you making fun of their names. I know it's unlikely but it would be a shame if a few flippant comments put them off. Respect that this is a main board thread, lads. Any of those on that list could be "the one".
Junction 9 Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 I agree, we are simply not in a position to take any kind of offer lightly. Those that read the forum regularly should realise this.
Minsk Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 Very encouraging! I also found this one from the States: "I heard there were a bunch of cowboys here before, so we should fit in well," by Helpme Rounda Themup (the third).
Atticus Finch of Maycomb Posted 6 April, 2009 Posted 6 April, 2009 oh, i get it. 'eurosaint'. haha. clever username. doesn't mean the investors arent real, tho.

Mate, I think you should definately try reading it a bit closer lol Whoooooooop? :smt017
stardustonmyfeet Posted 7 April, 2009 Posted 7 April, 2009 Whooooooosh to all those who thought they were the only ones who got the joke.
Tomobz Posted 7 April, 2009 Posted 7 April, 2009 nice, a level, first followed by some awesome re-levels that fooled some people good and proper! banging fred!
eurosaint Posted 7 April, 2009 Author Posted 7 April, 2009 LOL, "Koontz" sounds a bit like "C*nts". If it wasn't for your swearing filter it would have been even closer !!
dubai_phil Posted 7 April, 2009 Posted 7 April, 2009 If it wasn't for your swearing filter it would have been even closer !! Wow I think you're on to something there. Clearly B und CH Koontz is a relative of Dean Koontz, the famous American Author. Using Trouseresque analytical techniques, the centre of his home page clearly states he is working on a bid for Southampton It states What's new - Dean's latest Comic Project. http://www.deankoontz.com/ Well done clearly he is giving us a strong hint on there even though he has to put up some diversionary details on the actual page, But again it clearly states he wants to take us back to a time before the whole If Only thing started... ........Billionaire Robert Godric invents cross-time travel ......... and he's done this even though his family are no doubt covered by NDA's now
