Dicko Posted 3 May, 2009 Share Posted 3 May, 2009 I stumbled across a link to a charity cricket match in Guernsey where Quinten Hubbard was playing. MLT was meant to be involved, but fog stopped his flight arriving. Obviously, one assumes MLT has links to the Guernsey developers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree entirely, I want the best bid for the long term future of the club, not the one with the most famous person who we all love at the front of it. I'd be farting rainbows if MLT came back as part of the best bid, but I'm more worried about getting the right buyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Posted 3 May, 2009 Share Posted 3 May, 2009 http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?p=282629#post282629 So, it was Matt who tipped off to SSN that the Guernsey builders were going to be at SMS and when! Given these two characters seem to have been somewhat discredited I find it hard to believe Matt is in league with them - on the other hand, he may have been a great footballer but what about his business brain? No I really can't believe he is tied up with these two ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRobbie Posted 3 May, 2009 Share Posted 3 May, 2009 I hope the MLT bid is using Matt as a front man and we have more financial and business power behind him.... I am sure this is correct. What's more I hope that other consortiums would consider uniting behind him. MLT is NOT a man to run this club but he is a figurehead we can unite behind to move the club upwards. I am excited if this is true. Fundamentally, it would keep Lowe out of the club - even via indirect influence - which (whether you like Lowe or not) will create friction, disunity and lack of confidence and may result in further relegation. MLT as a figurehead will also attract a decent manager. MLT has the fans on side. If this happens it may be the best thing to happen to the club for 20 years. I'd rather have unity and moral and the will to make the club work than Lowe's mates continuing the slide, regardless of funds. .... MLT may get his statue afterall.

Pilchards Posted 3 May, 2009 Share Posted 3 May, 2009 £120m!! Probably all of that is tied up in projects so they will need a loan for starters. Hardly going to put serious money if it's £120m. I have a feeling they are interested in the land next door where they will build something and flog the whole club for a wealthy profit. Let's hope Mark Fry chooses what's best.

SaintRobbie Posted 3 May, 2009 Share Posted 3 May, 2009 Let's hope Mark Fry chooses what's best. Agreed. Mark Fry needs to be put under pressure from local media, local MPs and Councillors to accept a deal in the best interests for the City. Frankly any bid accepted that is associated with Lowe - even indirectly - will spell disaster for the Club due to the lack of confidence that will follow.

SaintRobbie Posted 3 May, 2009 Share Posted 3 May, 2009 MLT is the new ted bates Might be in terms of The Spirit of Southampton. I guess he'd rather be regarded as someone continuing Ted's quest for success though. In terms of being a manager or decision-making chairman I am sure he'd be wise enough to employ a good CEO and manager.

Life is a little more complicated at the higher echelons of power old friend. Where theres an intent and will there is a way... Local pressure can assist, but regardless this bid sounds pretty impressive if true. If not - lets hope other consortiums merge with it - afterall with MLT you are almost guaranteed success. With Lowe's mates... errrr... failure looms through lack of confidence from the start. Edit: Also Hypo, something tells me that those in the Barclays powers that be pulled the rug from Lowe for more than just financial reasons when they ousted him. There are other considerations for leaders in society - the main one being the morale of one of the UK's major cities in difficult economic times.

It's likely to be someone who is worth around the 100m mark, and I will take that any day as WE NEED A BUYER. I agree we need a buyer but someone worth 100m (as much as that is) will not risk losing 10m. That is the problem as we are shipping loads of money. Of course our wage bill will be cut dramatically as the squad will be cut and shut. Any quality will be sold and then we will have a lower quality team trying to get us the -10. I had a £100 bet with a B'mouth fan that we would not go down, and a £100 bet they wouldnt come up.Today i dont think I should have taken it on.

Panda Posted 3 May, 2009 Share Posted 3 May, 2009 according to the Farmer, this is the consultant http://www.pinnacleproperty.net/contact.htm So 'The Farmer' is Spencer Farmer who has interests in double glazing but also registers domain names for asset managers and property developers? He would certainly know if Pinnacle are involved if he knows them well enough to register their domain name - but Woolston? The business profile of Pinnacle certainly seems to fit with 'working with administrators' to assist in the sale of assets and to work with prospective purchasers of assets in dealing with administrators. They also specialise in the 'leisure' industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick, influence is not illegal where objective decisions are being made. It is decision-making based on a holistic view. There are more intangibles in society old friend than just black and white legal decisions. The law serves society. MPs should state our case to Fry... but only if necessary. The decision being made here directly influences the morale of the people of Southampton in potentially difficult times. That has political connertations.

Rocker268 Posted 3 May, 2009 Share Posted 3 May, 2009 I just saw the whole report (all 30 seconds of it) and they just say that they understand that Le Tis is in talks with a someone representing someone else, I can't remember where the Gurnsey based property developer was in the chain =p but it also said it is understood Le Tis would be offered a place on the board. It also didn't state that Le Tis would be on Soccer Saturday, could it be that he is going to be at Forest with potential buyers?
