Window Cleaner Posted 8 May, 2009 Posted 8 May, 2009 Trousers! Welcome back we are in the middle of a Dan Brown book to end all books. Not sure if its Groundhog Day or Lost in Translation - I can't explain either. Deception Point would be a fair stab I think.
krissyboy31 Posted 8 May, 2009 Posted 8 May, 2009 At least Rhonda and then Tommac were a bit of a laugh for those working the graveyard shift; They got funnier the more vino they consumed!

trousers Posted 8 May, 2009 Posted 8 May, 2009 What's the Canada link? And where's Trousers when all this is going on? I smell a conspiracy. Saint Lee changed his avatar to a maple leaf in May 2007. Can't remember which Canadian it ended up being linked to though

JustMike Posted 9 May, 2009 Posted 9 May, 2009 I met him after the game at St Marys the other night in the pub. And i have to say i was a little sceptical at first but after chatting to him and a few others i have to say i was impressed with what he was saying. I dont think its fair that people on here are dismissing him based on what he has posted on the forum in the past. He knows his football and knows what he wants for SFC. Im not going into the whole details of the conversation but to summerise he wants... 1) A clean start, none of the old board involved. and 2) No more risks taken (such as the gamble Wilde etc took in spending £7million and making us live outside of our means)

EastleighSoulBoy Posted 9 May, 2009 Posted 9 May, 2009 He is a photocopier salesman Yup would that be because he hasn't got £7m? Double Yup I still think he's a chancer. Should he gain control then he wouldn't know what to do with the club. Well, no more than most of us actually would, to be honest.

A fat cheque for Marc Jackson 2. A fat cheque for Marc Jackson 3. A fat cheque for Marc Jackson 4. A fat cheque for Marc Jackson 5. A fat cheque for Marc Jackson If this guy comes anywhere near our club, it is a ****ing disaster. The recent few years will be halycon days compared to what this fraudster Walter Mitty dickhead will do to us.

JustMike Posted 9 May, 2009 Posted 9 May, 2009 He loves Saints but then tried to buy (badly) Bournemouth?? where did i say that he said that??
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 9 May, 2009 Posted 9 May, 2009 where did i say that he said that?? You didn't he did! Lifelong Saint morphed suddenly into Lifelong Cherry or something like that. The man is a walter mitty Mike, I have spoken to him too and agree he is plausible, likeable etc but I have never heard so much crap in all my life. If he pulls something off I will apologise big time but I am virtually 100% sure it is all talk just as it was before with Dubai sheiks, David Beckham and a worldwide Saints FC franchise etc etc. In the end all we got was an ex con called Barry carrying a briefcase.

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 9 May, 2009 Posted 9 May, 2009 i guess we shall see what happens. Just thought id share my thoughts No problem. He took me in 2 years ago. Rang me to say the sheikhs wanted to talk to m to learn about the club's history blah blah blah His presence now is just what we (the club and the fans) need and it looks as if everything is going boots up.

What about the LeTiss thing?
beatlesaint Posted 9 May, 2009 Posted 9 May, 2009 lets hope not. What about the LeTiss thing? According to the Echo website they have "exclusively" revealed to them their 5 year plan for getting Saints back to the premier league. This is the sort of blue print any prospective buyer should have if serious, they are obviously that as, despite some scare mongering from a few drama queens on here, they have not run for the hills as soon as Marc Jackson appeared. As none of us know what has been said in the meetings with the administrator (unless someone has bugged the Board Room at SMS) lets just sit tight and hope for a swift outcome.
trousers Posted 9 May, 2009 Posted 9 May, 2009 after chatting to him and a few others i have to say i was impressed with what he was saying He's a salesman...that is his job....people that knock on my door trying to sell me tarmac are very pleasant and convincing too. Doesn't mean that I'm going to get decent tarmac. I've never doubted that Marc Jackson's heart isn't in the right place but the warning signs are as bright as his personality. IMHO of course

trousers Posted 9 May, 2009 Posted 9 May, 2009 I think its extremely fair!! Yes, I think it's fair too. I would agree that it's slightly twisted logic to suggest that someone's past behaviour shouldn't be taken into account when forming an opinion on what they may or may not do in the future.
Mole Posted 9 May, 2009 Posted 9 May, 2009 Yup Double Yup I still think he's a chancer. Should he gain control then he wouldn't know what to do with the club. Well, no more than most of us actually would, to be honest. I disagree with you, Jackson would be more clueless than the majority of posters on this forum. I think he's just performing this exercise to try to weedle his way in with a rival bid (they offer him a role if he agrees to pull out) but i don't think he's even got the brains to serve refreshments on the concourses.
bridge too far Posted 9 May, 2009 Posted 9 May, 2009 I wonder if LLS is simply trying to engineer himself a nice little bit of commission for 'facilitating' a bid?
Wade Garrett Posted 9 May, 2009 Posted 9 May, 2009 He is a chancer. He is known to Begbies but it seems they still indulge him. I would have preferred the Echo to have put a picture of Barry the Briefcase on the front page. Jackson must be loving all the attention he's getting at the moment. Maybe he thinks the publicity will help him sell a few more boxes of toner in the next few weeks.
Micky Posted 9 May, 2009 Posted 9 May, 2009 (edited) I wonder if LLS is simply trying to engineer himself a nice little bit of commission for 'facilitating' a bid? If that were the case then I would feel quite a bit more relaxed about his 'involvement'. Problem is that during the Bournemouth debacle there were even some 'rumours' that suggested that he would be expecting a 'managerial' or 'coaching' role. Now if he's looking for the same sort of 'involvement' here then god help us. All I can say now is - I am seriously brickin' it. Edited 9 May, 2009 by Micky
Gemmel Posted 9 May, 2009 Posted 9 May, 2009 I wonder if LLS is simply trying to engineer himself a nice little bit of commission for 'facilitating' a bid? I'm pretty sure that's about the size of it. The guy is a chancer and i'm sure that Mark Fry has the measure of him.

Ooops! My rather polite sarcasm didn't work too well did it? You are, of course, correct.
Weston Saint Posted 9 May, 2009 Posted 9 May, 2009 I have not had time to post since Thursday evening, only having the odd chance to read the forum until now. Let me be clear, the person I had dinner with on Tuesday was not Marc Jackson although I did have a drink with him on Thursday evening with many others who attended the forum match. Marc Jackson is not financially involved in the only bid on the table at present and he is not the spokesman for the person/s who have tendered the bid. He appears to have held his own counsel by not responding to any allegations. The person who is the spokesman has yet to make any comment and that will stand. At present the only written bid offer and the business plan for the same has not been released by this team. As far as I can see they are continuing to conduct this matter in a professional and businesslike manner. This statement is not made on behalf of the above people but my attempt to clarify the situation. The Guernsey people came in a blaze of publicity. The Pinnacle connected possible bid has been played out in the media and the business plans happily released before a bid has even been put together. Why? I cannot answer that but it does look very strange. Who released Marc Jacksons name to the press? What was the motive? What did they expect to achieve? Draw your own conclusions as I do not have the answer At the end of the day I just want to be able to go and support Saints in Div 1 next season. I hope the backers of the bid with Mark Fry are capable of doing that just. I have no problem with others putting in a bid. I do have problem with them playing it out in the media before they have put their money where their mouth is! Was that not one of the criticisms levelled against Marc Jackson in the past? I am told by my contact that the bid is with Mark Fry in writing and backed by the proof of funds. That is the current position as at today. I still do not know the name of the investor/s. My contact has honoured my request not to identify the same so no questions please.

My contact has honoured my request not to identify the same so no questions please. I think the main criticism was spouting ignorant crap and appearing utterly amateurish and desperate, rather than using the media TBF. Many takeovers are conducted professionally and within full glare of the media. Indeed, we were a fully operational PLC at the time so not to use the media would be odd to say the least. In summary of your post: There is a a written bid with the administrator. Thanks.
SoccerMom Posted 9 May, 2009 Posted 9 May, 2009 At the end of the day I just want to be able to go and support Saints in Div 1 next season. That has to be the bottom line, really. Tomorrow the nipper is involved in this tournament at SMS, and he is so excited he says he won't be able to sleep tonight. Like many kids there, I'm sure, he will be chuffed to bits to run out from the tunnel and to play on the pitch. He really, really doesn't care if Saints are in L1, he just wants his team to go on playing football. And I just want all of this to be over so we can get on with supporting our club!
Viking Warrior Posted 9 May, 2009 Posted 9 May, 2009 Thanks Weston I wanted to come on hear to the defence of Marc Jackson Someone is mischief making as usual and full credit to marc for keeping his own counsel. Im aware there is a genuine bid on the table but I will not speculate as to who it is except to say if they get it we will be ok and I WISH I COULD PURCHASE MY SEASON TICKET NOW FOR NEXT SEASON.

Window Cleaner Posted 9 May, 2009 Posted 9 May, 2009 agree about the season tickets if my wife sees that we have a grand in the bank extra because i have not bought the tickets she will buy the wardrobes she says we need So take the money out in cash and shove it at the bottom of the tool box (in a plastic bag of course) or something.
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 9 May, 2009 Posted 9 May, 2009 agree about the season tickets if my wife sees that we have a grand in the bank extra because i have not bought the tickets she will buy the wardrobes she says we need Then she'll show you the half empty wardrobes and say she 'had to throw away all the really old stuff :^o and can we go to town this Saturday' So that's £1.5k gone! :smt115 Nah, stick with the season tickets, you'll only lose a grand that way!
trousers Posted 9 May, 2009 Posted 9 May, 2009 May I venture the thread title is a little misleading now given Weston's clarification that he's not (directly) involved in 'bid 1' per se?
trousers Posted 9 May, 2009 Posted 9 May, 2009 if he is right! Fair point. Ok, perhaps all it needs is a question mark then....?
NickG Posted 9 May, 2009 Author Posted 9 May, 2009 Do you disagree? don't really want to get into point scoring, sure he knows more and is closer to people involved. What I said on this party, and others was in good faith and could be wrong but other stuff I am told supports the person who told me (does that make sense?). I'm not ITK or a central party to any of this - but links give me a fair picture or not just one party.

hughieslastminutegoal Posted 9 May, 2009 Posted 9 May, 2009 Yup Double Yup I still think he's a chancer. Should he gain control then he wouldn't know what to do with the club. Well, no more than most of us actually would, to be honest. So exactly what do you think a chancer has to gain by buying the club out of administation - surely if he doesn't have/isn't representing much dosh and there are no assets to strip, then what on earth would be the point? Easiest way to lose more money I'd have thought.
