Mole Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 Crouch will be involved with one group. Salz is definately involved somewhere. It's puzzling me who the 'household name' could be though. Would love it to be Branson - a good guy whose skill and judgement is equal to his luck. I'd be chuffed to bits if he bought us. Richard Branson supports Crystal Palace i believe.

revolution saint Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 sky sports news just mentioned two jersey based property developers, not Tom Scott. Apparently Fry is meeting them this week though it sounded like it's the most advanced deal at the moment. More news as it breaks....as they say.

jonah Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 So, you still didn't answer what Salz's "influence" was with respect to Barclays? Obtaining the £5m overdraft? Exceeding the £5m overdraft? It would be polite to explain your comments if you're going to make claims about Salz, no? I would genuinely like to know the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said he was "influential with respect to Barclays" so i'm not going to explain something i never said! I said he was influential. If you look at his CV i think you'd probably agree with that. I never said he was 'influential with respect to barclays' as i have no idea if that was the case. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 the administrator said it was a household name What was the context? Did he say "household name" as in: household name to people who mix in Saints circles or "household name" as in my nan would recognise them? Say "Le Tissier" or "Lowe" to my nan and she wouldn't have a Scooby (pun intended) as to who I was wittering on about. Say "Bruce Forsythe" and she'd be on message like a shot. Also, was it the name of the company that was "household" or the name of the individual who ran/owned the company? (reading between the lines if necessary) Cheers!

Wade Garrett Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 I don't think it's Fulthorpe, Salz or these two property developers. I don't think it's that Heineken lady either.

sad saints fan Posted 28 April, 2009 Share Posted 28 April, 2009 I had a conversation this evening with a senior QS at a firm i did some work for last year and when we had finished the serious bit he started taking the **** out of Saints because he knew I was a supporter. I told him it was worrying times for us and he said (after he had wound me up for about 10 minutes)that he was now working for a man named Fulthorpe and that he was involved in a plan to bring a sizeable development to the st marys area of Southampton. Evidently mr Fulthorpe has got connections with a great deal of people who own land and businesses in the vicinity of the ground and the plan is for a "Chelsea village "type of development with the stadium at the heart. I asked if Mr Fulthorpe was one of the bidders but he said he honestly didnt know but he has spent a lot of money putting this plan together . Right thats all I know and it is second hand.

Pilchards Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 I will place my bets again after some 3rd hand information I received last night. (1) JP Mcmanus a horse racing expert, I was told he is very interested in purchasing a football club after the death of his wife recently, I believe he tried to get machester united a few years back. Could this of been a nudge from Channon? (2) Someone called Green who was linked on here last week, The man is minted and has an interest in Saints. (3) Fulthorpe with Souness as they fight to beat the others as they know they won't win on there own perhaps? (4) Two cowboys that love the publicity as they see it as a chance to push forward there business, Already seen walking into St Marys at 4 this afternoon carrying a ****ing toolbag.

Give it to Ron Posted 2 May, 2009 Share Posted 2 May, 2009 My money is on no bids and eventual liquidation. If Salz was in a consortium or brokering a deal then it would of been tabled by now as they were far in advance of any others with the inside knowledge they had. He has not made a bid so I think he is a non starter. Morph is a teaser. The 2 Guernsey chancers will be laughed away. I have not seen anything written apart from this board about Souness interested. I hope I am wrong but we have been on a downward spiral for 5 years and tailspins normally end up with big crashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
