Weston Super Saint Posted 7 May, 2009 Share Posted 7 May, 2009 Yes he was there. I sat with him and St David for a while before I went down to chat with Dubia Phil. We went for a drink with them after and met up with SaintLee. Nickh was there so was Steve Grant and a few others following the forum match. Told them about this thread being started. Plenty laughter. Doubt they would be happy with some of the comments made! Good to meet you at the game Baj. F&ck me!!!!! All the ITK's in the same place at the same time!!!

I hope he's not part of any consortium but if he is it's better than nothing i suppose. If he became chairman sales of the club programme would go up for the comedy value of reading his notes.

hamster Posted 7 May, 2009 Share Posted 7 May, 2009 Without wishing to sound too harsh, any bid involving Jackson can safely be written off as a fantasy. If he has any involvement in bid#1 then I favour bid#2, even if this is a consortium of Lowe, Hitler, Davros and Osama bin Laden. Why bring him into the debate? Bobby Davros is a legendary comic SB. **** me SB? Not the SB shirley. I am a little confused as to what anyone could seriously have against ANYONE who wants the best for our club, I really am. I know that we all have our own 'wishlist', be it Tommy Widdrington, be it Kevin Keegan be it Nigel Pearson, we will never ever all agree, some people need to accept this as FACT and leave their ego's at the Welcome screen.. Come on people there is only 1 genuinely tarnished CV when it comes to Saints and it belongs to Rupert Lowe. Anyone else gets my thumbs up at this point in time. Rupert gave us one of the best quotes ever which he conveniently never applied to himself "this is a results based business". Therefore if Saint David (whoever he may be or represent) wins the day, then I for one will give them 100% support. If it doesn't work out then I am sure that he and his friends will do the honourable thing. I do however firmly believe that he would give it his all and that is all that we can ask surely. If this 100% commitment trickles down from boardroom to coaching staff, to players and to us the fans then why the hell not give it our backing? I honestly do not know the history of the B/Mouth thing, but I also do not care at this moment in time. If he wants to run our club I am in, just as I would be for any other commited bid by a person who loves the club as much as I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rest assured it has absolutely nothing to do with internet bullying - you're way off the mark (npi) there. Perhaps you should research some of the links posted here and form your own opinion if you choose not to believe others that have posted here. FWIW I believe that there is little doubt that MJ's heart is in the right place - but unfortunately he comes across as an over-enthusiastic, bumbling fool. You only have to research the Bournemouth calamity to see where it could lead to. Internet bullying no, just very very cautious of a complete amatuer being involved in our club.

If so (or even if not), it behoves me to explain that the bloke is a complete Walter Mitty character. Seriouslydelusional. Although based on rather hazy recollection, his crime sheet includes - but is by no means limited to - the following: He (in)famously appeared on national television claiming to be the owner of AFC Bournemouth. This was a total fiction. He was hastily denounced by those he claimed to be representing. He appeared to invent for himself - in some sort of lunatic Kim Jong-Il fashion - a past history and association with Soutahmpton Football Club which bore no relation to the facts. I can't remember the exact details but they seemed to range from having "discovered" Adam Lallana or Theo Walcott whilst working as a scout for Saints to having actually been a coaching assistant for the club. Not only did he credulously believe that Paul Allen was on the verge of buying the club, he claimed to know this as an absolute stonewall fact. He maintained this position even in the face of a complete, categorical and unequivocal public statement from Paul Allen's representatives that Allen had no interest - and had never had any interest - in purchasing Saints and that there was absolutely no truth whatsoever, in any way, in the rumours that were circulating. His "manifesto" for Southampton involved - amongst other similarly insane ideas - getting David Beckham to forsake Real Madrid and come to the south coast. He expressed supreme confidence that this was easily achievable and chided those expressing any doubts as lacking ambition or imagination. I believe in real life, that he is a relatively unsuccessful salesman of photocopiers and photocopying equipment. I honestly don't know whether he is truly committed to the club or not (the whole AFC Bournemouth thing suggests at least some 'promiscuity'), but in light of the information above, you may wish to reconsider your statement that "If he wants to run the club, I'm in..."

ghq Posted 8 May, 2009 Share Posted 8 May, 2009 At the height of his ramblings he was on more than one occasion brought to task for his spelling/grammar and general at times unintelligible musings. Athis point he defended himself by claiming to be dyslexic. Whether or not he is/was,is unknown. One day having less than usual to do i was given to posting the old graffiti slogan "Dyslexics Rule KO". Now,how do you think I'm going to feel if that comes back to bite me in the a**e?

From what I have read of LLS I do hope that he doesn't fall at the first hurdle but actually either runs straight into it or pulls up short. Be afraid, be very afraid!

Foxstone Posted 8 May, 2009 Share Posted 8 May, 2009 If Marc Jackson is involved and is part of the best deal then so be it. It's easy to sit behind your keyboard and bad mouth him and yes he doesn't come accross as the sharpest tool, but if he cares enough to try and save Saints then good on him. Don't disagree with that ! I'd make a pact with the devil himself if he did something positive to stop this clubs slide into oblivion and have it moving forward again.

SaintRichmond Posted 8 May, 2009 Share Posted 8 May, 2009 The Echo is saying he pulled out when he heard there was another bidder, but reinitiated negotiations later. Unfortunately he has since lost one of the members of his consortium and is currently looking for a new "moneyman". This guy is certifiable... Who or what made him have a change of heart ???

Mole Posted 8 May, 2009 Share Posted 8 May, 2009 Saints Legend Vs Delusional photocopier salesman, tough call. "THE Battle for St Mary’s took a dramatic new twist last night when a south coast photo copier salesman emerged as the chief rival to the Matt Le Tissier-led bid for the club." http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/4352475.The_Battle_for_Saints/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fry knows him Let's hope that Mr Fry is able or required (by Law) to exercise some caution and level of control over a character such as this!

The trouble is though Foxtone Jacko is a complete fantacist. Even if he's managed to cobble a bid together i can't see there being any funds left over. If he's all there is then so be it, bit if there's a choice then please god don't choose him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickmick Posted 8 May, 2009 Share Posted 8 May, 2009 Does this still refer to LLS/Jackson. If so (or even if not), it behoves me to explain that the bloke is a complete Walter Mitty character. Seriouslydelusional. Although based on rather hazy recollection, his crime sheet includes - but is by no means limited to - the following: He (in)famously appeared on national television claiming to be the owner of AFC Bournemouth. This was a total fiction. He was hastily denounced by those he claimed to be representing. He appeared to invent for himself - in some sort of lunatic Kim Jong-Il fashion - a past history and association with Soutahmpton Football Club which bore no relation to the facts. I can't remember the exact details but they seemed to range from having "discovered" Adam Lallana or Theo Walcott whilst working as a scout for Saints to having actually been a coaching assistant for the club. Not only did he credulously believe that Paul Allen was on the verge of buying the club, he claimed to know this as an absolute stonewall fact. He maintained this position even in the face of a complete, categorical and unequivocal public statement from Paul Allen's representatives that Allen had no interest - and had never had any interest - in purchasing Saints and that there was absolutely no truth whatsoever, in any way, in the rumours that were circulating. His "manifesto" for Southampton involved - amongst other similarly insane ideas - getting David Beckham to forsake Real Madrid and come to the south coast. He expressed supreme confidence that this was easily achievable and chided those expressing any doubts as lacking ambition or imagination. I believe in real life, that he is a relatively unsuccessful salesman of photocopiers and photocopying equipment. I honestly don't know whether he is truly committed to the club or not (the whole AFC Bournemouth thing suggests at least some 'promiscuity'), but in light of the information above, you may wish to reconsider your statement that "If he wants to run the club, I'm in..." Plus this bit, he seemed to know the richest people from every continent. 04-12-2007, 04:49 PM cherrypip Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Posts: 1,090 already got a russian interested..... check out Oleg Deripraska. makes the spuds guy look like a cheapskate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
