He's something like 5th or 6th richest man in the world, heads one of the biggest industral groups in Asia, and owns a football team in India's Premier League.

 

In other words, it would be nice, but don't hold your breath: another Paul Allen rumour, methinks.

Sweet - we could replace the Dutch revolutionary coaching setup with an Indian version. Anyone know who plated a full-back for India in the 1974 Asia Cup?

Seems too good to be true, a la Paul Allen. Cannot think of any connection barring the IPL, Kevin Pietersen, and a sizeable Indian community in Southampton. Or perhaps having a club as a trophy, but a struggling Championship/League One team hardly fits that bill. Fanciful, but hope so!

Not being funny, but unlikely surely?

 

I couldn't buy a Ferrari because they wouldn't sell, so I bought a Vespa...

 

Doesn't make sense.

 

Anil and Mukesh dont get on. Mukesh wasnt anything to do with Anil's interest in Everton and Newcastle.

Think you'll find he owns the Mumbi Indians and it's a Twenty20 cricket league!!!

His brief was our all-round development. We played hockey, football and different kinds of games, watched matches at Cooperage, travelled in buses and trains and explored different parts of Bombay. We went camping and stayed in a village for 10-15 days every year.

 

Small clip from an interview.

???

 

Don't know if this should be a :o or a fully blown :smt082

 

Will have to research the term on Urban Dictionary or similar later.

Paul allen was completely material, from what i was led to believe at the time. Just hope this is the same and there is nobody to get in the way.

 

Would he really want to buy saints ?? Would have understood before the IPL took KP from hampshire.

What if you bought an old Ferrari and spent some money to get it up and running.

 

 

Most Billionaires have new Ferrari, but you would have a one that nobody else has.

 

The fun is in the making, no point buying a airfix model already completed

We'd probably manage to get ourselves relegated in a league of one anyway.

Inevitably - if you think about it we would have finished bottom ;-)

Yes, but a Vespa will always be a Vespa...

 

A successful season and promotion can dramatically improve your turnover and kudos.

If this theory has any legs could it have something to do with our own Mr Singh? Former Southampton resident Sarwan Singh controls a 6% shareholding bought purely as a piece of Stock Market speculation, from his base in India.

 

Could there be a connection?

I would have thought he was more likely to invest in or buy out Rose Bowl PLC in advance of the T20 English Premier League being launched. That might well free up funds for Rod Bransgrove though???

According to someone on TUI, he is an Indian Billionare in advance talks to buy Saints.

 

Was this Mark Fry's first meeting ?

 

Does that mean we'll be renaming St Mary's .. 'The Delli' ?

 

:)

 

(gedditt! ...Delhi!)

 

 

.... I'll get my coat.

5th on the Forbes list apparently. I'm sure his name's been bandied about on here before.

 

 

Yes, some bright spark first mentioned his name way back on 11th August 2008, in the infamous 'Asturius Sports' thread.....

You don't. We're talking about Mukesh Ambani.

 

So there :p

Yep, mentioned him in the post before the one I quoted above. Honest.

 

I'm gonna have to scrutinise the Football League rules to see if I lose out on a mere technicality....

Again, why the f**k are people continually using racial stereotypes. Is it supposed to be funny or some sort of joke?

He's apparently the 5th richest man in the World and, back in 2007, he was even top for a while! Paul Allen? A mere pauper! If this does not go through, it will be all your fault, Mark Fry!!!

 

The last photo in the article looks odd, as if their heads had been paintshopped on to the suits.
