bid 1 - Marc Jackson

Recommended Posts

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.

 

I think the hyperbole around Jackson himself is clouding people's judgement. I was asked a strange question by Saint77 on the MLT -was it green money? see post 238 on this thread because there could be a potentially interesting individual behind all this. I'm not in the know but was intrigued by that question from 77 and so did a little digging. Goldman Sachs maybe the common denominator.

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.

 

Yes I was well entertained during those "manifesto", HMR, Fat Barry, Tommac and Cherrypip times - But if hes all there is - Then as you say "Bring on the programme"...

"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."

I think some people are determind to make us the 1 and only joke of the FL. if MJ gets in I think we will be even more stuffed than when we had Lowe here. :(

I was thinking along different lines, if Saint77 is Marc Jackson.

icon1.gif paul allen

had nothing to do with me .....the due dilligence was carried out by a consortuim from the channel isles.

 

And they decided the club was so weak they should wait for it to go pop and pick it up for a song.

 

But the due diligence was done in march and it didnt have to be notified because we werent in a bid situation at that time.

 

Paul Allen was introduced by the other guy you all keep pulling apart Stuart Green who has all the microsoft contacts through centerprise international where he is a director

interested.....

 

check out Oleg Deripraska.

 

makes the spuds guy look like a cheapskate

 

It was reported in May 2008 that Deripaska had shown an interest in purchasing an English Premier League football club, and was strongly linked to West Bromwich Albion. Albion announced in June 2008 that they were looking for serious investors, as Daily Mirror said that take over by Oleg Deripaska is a possibility. Deripaska himself had never indicated such intent, and in an earlier interview with The Guardian, he denied any interest in the English football industry.

Met Marc a few times, comes across as a decent bloke, definately has contacts in Dubai, so if he is getting the funding from there, then I couldn't give a toss to be honest.

 

However I very much doubt anything will come of it.

 

Didnt SaintLee and SaintDavid also meet him and came back with storys of an imenent takeover to make us the richest club in the whole universe?

 

I dont doubt so much that LLS wants us to be massive and I give him some credit for at least trying but if Becks or gazillionares in Dubai really wanted to invest in us then surly they could get a better contact than wacko jacko?

I met Marc Jackson last night and he came across as a decent man who really does have a passion for Saints. Personally all you who are having cheap shots at him should take a look at yourselves. Time will tell if he is all talk (but he part of a group who have put a written bid in and so proof of funds must be there) but what have you and I done to get a consortium to save us? I have done nothing, I have sat here hoping somebody else would come forward whilst the likes of Jackson have worked to get an investor in.

Take the p### out of him call him Cherry pip scoff at him being a so called photocopier salesman but if he and a few others didnt have the nous to get up there and do it SFC will die.

Difficult to be sure but I'd tend to agree. Someone like Marc Jackson might have pulled this together but I have to believe, or at least hope, that if it is getting credible attention from the Administrator - there must be something of real substance behind it.

 

And if that's the case then the role Marc Jackson plays in a newly formed club would be to go off into the distance with his 2.5%.

 

So are we talking Green as in Greenback or as a family name?

I dare say he is a nice man, but most of us are basing our opinions on his down right weird postings on here:

 

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..."

 

In person he might come accross completely differently, but i've no sympathy for him for the **** taking. He's brought that on all by himself.

Say what you like about him, he has lots and lots of contacts in the football world, and has made lots of contacts/friendships with alot of wealthy businessmen both here and abroad.

 

He is a salesman, he won't be the money behind it, simply the broker.

As I left St Marys last night was met by St David who used to post, confirmed he too is involved in some capacity, apparently they hit a problem yesterday afternoon but was confident they could overcome it, if these guys have put together a consortium with funds to pay the initial price Fry is looking for then maybe some, including me, have underestimated them, I only hope, in addition to the purchase, there are funds available to go forward, whoever gets the gig.

Stanley you could also look in the mirror on that one. We all put up stuff at times that shouldn't do.

I dont think we will hear anything today. Think about this there are 2 bids on the table 1 may well be shaky, if we then only have 1 hope and they are not solid the club is finished.It is getting close to a typical SFC moment.

Fair enough.

 

If he brings about a big money deal then hats off to him.

 

But he is still a little strange dont you agree?

What concerns me is that this fantacist/tyrekicker (call him what you will) is wasting the administrators time and therefore SFC's money.

I'm sorry nick but you are wayyyyy off the mark there.

 

A nice man he may be, but he has his head in cloud cuckoo land.

 

Don't you remember the "rebranding" of the club to Saints FC UK so that there could be a Saints Aus, Saints US etc. etc.

 

Does the Barry Briefcase episode not fill you with dread and fear?

 

I leave you with a quote "The road to hell is paved with good intentions"

Oh please... Nick, just read about his dealings with Bournemouth. He was just as passionate about them, but was a complete time waster. Do we have time to waste ?

Proof of funds ? Didn't he have that with Bournemouth aswell ? and the same administrators. Did you ask him why that failed ?

Its all gone weird cause the other day I agreed with Ging and today im agreeing with Stanley!!!!!

 

Jackson has made a complete t1t of himself in the past with wilde claims that didnt seem remotley plausable yet he manages to convince fairly respected people on here which then started a whole saga of BS and ITK's. Which is the main reason why no-one trusts anything anyone says on here any more.

 

And this guy could actually play a part in the saints future? Being honest it doesnt fill me with confidence that we will move forward at all and I guess Jackson will have as tough a job as Rupes to earn the trust of the fan base.

The problem they hit was the guy with the money has run a mile and they're looking for some other patsy to fund their dreams...

Believe me Nick, if i was a deal broker i wouldn't be making a complete pillock of myself on fans messgeboards like Jacko has. You cannot compare me and him because i post ******** and i know it's ********. Jacko posts ******** and he doesn't even realise he's doing it!

im not trying to be nasty to him or have a dig but he made us look stupid in the past and did the same at bornmouth.

 

I do and did at the time give him credit for actually trying while most of us sit at keyboards and moan that nothing is happening but if I went on a rant about how im going to get becks and co to leave AC Milan to come and save us i would get the ribbing i deserve.

 

if he is envolved this time however it seems at least he has learnt not to come on here with his mad claimes of universal ruling by all things saints. Unless of course he is here with yet another new name?

Absolutely. Having good intentions does NOT make Lifelong the right man for the job. Everything we know about him from the past points to the fact that he's not cut out for it. He's already a laughing stock and to that end he's always going to be tainted. IF he manages a takeover, just imagine the fallout if things go badly in the first three or four months. The fans will turn against him just as we did against Lowe and we'll all be back to square one...possibly even the Blue Square one.

There's a big difference between an occasional intemperate and ill thought-out post and an ongoing spewing forth of delusional nonsense.

 

Jackson fits squarely intot he latter category.

Sorry mate but if the deal was that good Mark Fry would have taken it. Now I'm really sorry that I haven't got a bid together but then I didn't for Bournemouth either. And as to proof of funds - he past that hurdle when trying to get Bournemouth and of course we all know what happened there don't we.

 

Good intentions count for nothing in the business world - just results and so far he hasn't had one.

Nick I don't doubt Marc Jackson is a nice bloke but you should ask StLee about the fantasies he was spinning him the summer before last. It was all a load of old poppy****. This will end in tears - he is nothing more than an affable dabbler. This has just put things back another week or so - I could weep.

I think the impact on the timescales is perhaps the most worrying element. History suggests that whilst he may have a decent heart his business brain is not of the same pedigree.

Oh my God - I can't believe this is happening. These guys tricked us once before and we ended up with Barry the briefcase - don't you remember how ridiculous that all was? I am seriously concerned at the involvement of these two. Oh and what a surprise they are blabbing it all over the place too - and a last minute hitch too.

Thanks FF. This was my fear. This puts Jackos involvement in a new light and it's not such a big joke any more is it?

 

Let's say Jackos weird fantasies delay a genuine bid by just 1 week. How much is this costing SFC?

FF - its getting very scary - NDA's being breached, these lot involved etc etc. I'm starting to think we would be better off starting with SFC in the Blue Square.

I don't believe that for one second. What Fry may have said is that there was (at the time) no formal bid on the table and therefore Jackson, if he got his in first, would be well placed to win (because there was no guarantee there would be any further bids). However, it would be completely unethical to discuss other bids with a potential bidder and telling them they're in pole position.
