eurosaint Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 I heard a while ago (from a non Saints related source) that Souness was very serious about a bid with a consortium (I think possibly with some Italian money?). He was (and is) the favourite to succeed from what I've heard ! If it's right, you heard it here first ! If it's wrong, ooh eck, don't blame me !

SW11_Saint Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 I'd go for the Souness consortium as #1 - had decent contacts in the game, knows his stuff and would be in it for the long haul. Wouldn't turn away Matty, naturally, but I think Souness would be the best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Farmer Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 I've made a couple of phone calls following the info I received this morning to try and put some names to the people/companies involved. As far as I can make out there is a Southampton based property agency called Pinnacle who have sponsored local charity golf events featuring Le Tiss. Reading between the lines, and this maybe pure coincidence, but this same company also look after a few London property owners (big hitters) who have been spending money like its going out of fashion lately and who also have strong links with another administrator that they've bought at least 2 properties/concerns from. I've been trying to confirm these details with a contact of MLT's but apparently Matt's playing golf in the West Country. But I am reliably informed that this proposal does have Matts implicit support. As for this 'consortium', as far as I can tell there are only actually only 2 or 3 clients they look after!!! Sounds like an ideal set up for Saints fans to get behind. Anybody know any more?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW11_Saint Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 (edited) Okay, what the hell, ... allegedly Kevin Keegan was seen in town yesterday. Not sure why, may be purely coincidental, and he may even still live in the area, but as a bit of tittle-tattle I thought it worth throwing in there...

Mr Saints Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 Maybe that is the consortium Le Tiss was leaning favourably towards on Sky on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eelpie Posted 29 April, 2009 Share Posted 29 April, 2009 Its what the law should be, but sadly isn't. Its all too easy for directors to run the company into the ground leaving a trail of debts, shut down the company and buy it back at reduced price minus all the debts (and staff), and carry on trading as before. Regulations against this just aren't, IMO, tough enough to prevent this. Unless you are in football and can cope with further points deducted -like Luton etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guided Missile Posted 1 May, 2009 Share Posted 1 May, 2009 IMHO, the only way Pinnacle Asset Management, are in any way involved in the purchase of SFC, is because they may know someone with a f*** sight more assets than they have, and have a Director who is an MLT groupie. They are, again, IMHO, more like Barry Beardall, but with as much money in their briefcases, as film in the Farmer's camera... ...and the clue? "Last Accounts Made Up To: 30/06/2008 (TOTAL EXEMPTION SMALL)" This means their asset value is less than £2.8M and their turnover is less than £5.6M. In other words, they know a former Saints player and a bank manager and hope to get a cut... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rover Posted 1 May, 2009 Share Posted 1 May, 2009 Just looking at Staplewood on Google maps. Do SLH own everything between Staplewood Lane and Twigg's Lane? You could get a lot of houses on there and it's right next to Marchwood, so presumably not too many planning problems. It can't be that difficult to find a suitable training ground for a Div 3 club. Maybe it's not Jacksons Farm that is interesting the hovering vultures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
