ph11be Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 South Today piece (ffw to 16:40) http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/check/england/realmedia/southtoday/southampton/southtoday?size=16x9&bgc=C0C0C0&nbram=1&bbram=1&nbwm=1&bbwm=1
DT Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 I've put some Dom Perignon in the fridge just in case tomorrow turns out to be D day ! It's only me and 'er indoors' at the moment but if Lucy Pinder can make it round here I'll find a way to get shot of the wife so that we can have a proper celebration !!!! We're nearly there folks, keep believing ......... In the interests of pubic health I think you should make it Condom Perignon...
Dangermouth Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 Yeah. Dykes was doing Erica. As far as the rumours went. Mods, please feel free to do the usual if it upsets anyone.
saint77 Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 A plumber has told me it's definitely going to happen tomorrow. is that the leaky plumber from jayhard/hardings
saint_ed Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 South Today piece (ffw to 16:40) http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/check/england/realmedia/southtoday/southampton/southtoday?size=16x9&bgc=C0C0C0&nbram=1&bbram=1&nbwm=1&bbwm=1 Very exciting. Pretty convinced that tomorrow will be the day we find out our new owners.
Mole Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 Very exciting. Pretty convinced that tomorrow will be the day we find out our new owners. And please for once let there not be a sting in the tail. All i ask for is a normal board that does it's best and respects the fans. Is that really too much to ask?
Gingeletiss Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 A plumber has told me it's definitely going to happen tomorrow. Do you get that kind of news on tap???, or is there something else in the pipeline???.
Saint Charlie Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 Presumably its the bid thats been in for a while that nobody knows much about that is in pole position?
Dark Munster Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 A plumber has told me it's definitely going to happen tomorrow. Oh God, it's not Paul-Allen-is-taking-over-oh-wait-a-minute-even-better-a Dubai-consortium Saintlee is it? If so, another takeover bites the dust. :toimonster:
sammy_the_hat Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 Do you get that kind of news on tap???, or is there something else in the pipeline???. Let's hope the buyers are flush. Of course, this plumber could've been pulling Stanley's chain.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 Let's hope the buyers are flush. Of course, this plumber could've been pulling Stanley's chain. I hope they've made a good offer and don't have to faucet. I'll get me coat.
Mole Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 Do you get that kind of news on tap???, or is there something else in the pipeline???. You can never count your chickens before they're hatched in these situations. The situation is fluid.
bridge too far Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 Let's hope the buyers are flush. Of course, this plumber could've been pulling Stanley's chain. Do you suppose the name of the Chief Executive will be 'Boss White'? Now that really is poor :oops:
Armitage Shanks Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 With all the plumber gags there can only be one new chairman and that's me - Armitage Shanks
saintbletch Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 So it looks like tomorrow is bidet. Bidet - geddit? No? Ah well.
buctootim Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 KES...Sylvester House and I used to have the hots for Ms Erica Cawte (fumbles for Kleenex) ...but I think Dickie Dykes was doing her. I also think this might be the last post I can use today. Erica Cawte was a dyke ffs! Got sacked for having 'inappropriate material' in her car.
SOTONS EAST SIDE Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 No i understand the new chairmans name is THOMAS CRAPPER! That was $hit was'nt it!!
um pahars Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 Send me a PM. Have you received & read my Kate Moss/Cuban heels PM as you haven't replied???????
Saint Fan CaM Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 (edited) Personally, I am "flushed" with excitement. I hope that gag has not been posted already, I cannot be bothered to "brush up" on previous posts. But I know this is a "drain" on your good humour...so coat got. Gone. Edited 6 May, 2009 by Saint Fan CaM
Saint Billy Posted 6 May, 2009 Posted 6 May, 2009 Reading tonights posts gave me a good laugh. Good one guys! Amazing how we can still be upbeat despite now being a league 1 club and suffering so much ****e on and off the field these last few years.
hamster Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 Pressure increasing on our friends at West Ham. Looking very bad indeed. http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/09/05/06/SOCCER_West_Ham_Gudmundsson.html&TEAMHD=soccer Good
hamster Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 This is serious thread can you all pipe down please. Anyway, reading these crap puns I am not sure who's is older, but they are all quite fitting I suppose.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 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. Fry will accept what is best for the creditors! That is his job even if it meant closing the club down and selling of whatever assets are left!
Gingeletiss Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 This is serious thread can you all pipe down please. Anyway, reading these crap puns I am not sure who's is older, but they are all quite fitting I suppose. Sorry.........just a bit of toilet humour:(
thorpie the sinner Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 Right, so Thursday is the new Friday, so that means we should hear something Saturday which is the new Monday!! Glad thats sorted!!
Saint 76er Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 Regarding the incumbent bid, didn't Derry previously indicate that his semi relative had claimed it was from KK with financial backing by some sort of hedge fund? In which case this may account for why the alleged local property developers consortium were so keen to publicise MLT's connection. After all, can you imagine fans response when MF happily announces that a bid by Kevin Keegan has been turned down in favour of some local property guys! However, if he says a bid by MLT consortium wins, then joy everywhere. Simple really, just substitute one former Saints legend for another. There's always method in the madness...
thorpie the sinner Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 All very quiet this morning... thought it would be a mad house on here!!!! calm before the storm?
SKATE_HATE Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 (edited) All very quiet this morning... thought it would be a mad house on here!!!! calm before the storm? Well theres nothing on this mornings south today or anywhere else so I think it could be a few more days. How many times has that **** Roger Johnson got our hopes up in the past only for it to come to nothing? God this is soooo bloody frustrating!!!!! Surely an update from Fry today though at the very least. Oh forget that BBC Solent just said Fry could be announcing preferred bidder this afternoon. Also Guernsey duo not front runners. Come on Fry your killing us!!!!!! Edited 7 May, 2009 by SKATE_HATE
chappers Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 I've just updated the Press conference thread with this News from solent -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On the Radio Solent news at 8.30am - Fry could be announcing the prefered bidder this afternoon - the lot from guernsey are not expected to be in the front running. sounds like (hopefully) we are now close to getting the deal done.....lets hope its a good one..
miserableoldgit Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 All very quiet this morning... thought it would be a mad house on here!!!! calm before the storm? Things still seem unclear. Solent had an interview with MLT this morning and he said that things should happen in the next few days maybe a week, whilst Solent themselves said that they had learned that the preffered bidder could be named as early as later today.:confused:
SaintRichmond Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 re Fri 24th April bid ...... yep that was a Lowe/Ch Islands/Souness consortium Souness in bed with Lowe ??? ....... bearing in mind what Souness thought of Lowe, that is quite strange ........ ...... ( has anyone survived a second triple heart bypass Op ???.... )

For the record, this "chappers" fella is not me. Incase anyone from bbc606 / facebook gets confused. Edited 7 May, 2009 by Master Bates
thorpie the sinner Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 For the record, this "chappers" fella is not me. Incase anyone from bbc606 gets confused. I for one thought you were pulling a sneaky!!!
Mole Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 I can't see there being any news until next week. As far as i can glean the Le Tiss bid only went in yesterday (or the day before) so any rivals may wish to revise their offer.
Master Bates Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 I for one thought you were pulling a sneaky!!! It looks f**king strange seeing my name on something that isn't me.
Pancake Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 For the record, this "chappers" fella is not me. Incase anyone from bbc606 / facebook gets confused. I have to say, I did go and check out his profile in the Mod area to see if it was you MB!
Master Bates Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 I have to say, I did go and check out his profile in the Mod area to see if it was you MB! Can you get him to change his username?
Foxstone Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 Latest Echo Update, sounds god to me! :smt041 Or rather it sounds like Le God to me !
saints_is_the_south Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 Latest Echo Update, sounds god to me! :smt041 Good news! Finally something appears to be happening. Whilst having Le Tiss backing a group is great, the 2nd sounds more promising in terms of finance. Anybody know more about the 2nd consortium, any word if Souness is something to do with it?

Not according to Weston Saint last night.
Soggy Bottom Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 Not according to Weston Saint last night. OOOOHHHHH, I wonder who major financier
lancelot link Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 Latest Echo Update, sounds god to me! :smt041 Round of applause for Le God, he's a class act http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSsdfe4Z69g =D>=D>=D>
Saint_Ash Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 I think Le Tiss will work with either of them as just a figurehead or something. Be good if the second one was keegan, be cool to have Keegan and Le Tiss involved. Maybe Keegan will be doing a Niall Quinn type of role?
Barry the Badger Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 Round of applause for Le God, he's a class act http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSsdfe4Z69g =D>=D>=D> Watching that makes me sad that I wasn't born 10 years earlier.
Master Bates Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 Offers placed apparently don't meet valuation nor do they pay off the debts?
Pancake Posted 7 May, 2009 Posted 7 May, 2009 Offers placed apparently don't meet valuation nor do they pay off the debts? Where did you get that from?
