NickG Posted 8 May, 2009 Posted 8 May, 2009 seems to be 3 running on this so my flawed logic says to solve that start another one! My understanding is; MJ has bid - it was first bid on the table. others have added that he has lost his investor. MLT bid is either just in or expected shortly - my understanding is this group is the favorite. There are two overseas groups who have formally notified Fry of intention to bid. One is canadian with no local connections. I do not know how these fit in with groups spoken about by other posters such as Weston and Derry and the new posters. Can I suggest this as single thread to summarise what is known and comment on all bidders?
saints_is_the_south Posted 8 May, 2009 Posted 8 May, 2009 Perhaps remove the thread on MLT confirmation on snn...etc & just have this as a sticky? I've been trying to follow that & the marc jackson thread all morning & its driving me crazy! I think i speak for all of us when i say i just wish they'd get the f*ck on with it, get the bids in, accept 1 & then we can all start talking football again.
Frank's cousin Posted 8 May, 2009 Posted 8 May, 2009 1 ? 2 ? 3 ? 4 ?? Would be good to have a summary of info/rumour on each..... see if there is consistency or ambiguity
TheSaint75 Posted 8 May, 2009 Posted 8 May, 2009 I think the fulthorpe bids money may have something to do with Canada, seems so long ago now I can't remember for certain Monaco also keeps popping up too
northam soul Posted 8 May, 2009 Posted 8 May, 2009 I thought our ITK posters stated yesterday that Marc Jackson was in no way involved in the bid that was in but the echo states that he was. Why do people bother posting these supposed confirmed snippetts.
norwaysaint Posted 8 May, 2009 Posted 8 May, 2009 I know for a fact one of the bidding parties is a consortium from Finland with links to Eddie Irvine.

Why do people bother posting these supposed confirmed snippetts. on here before echo;) although the ITK's told me I was wrong!
Frank's cousin Posted 8 May, 2009 Posted 8 May, 2009 Maybe its true? The fact that MJ has not been on here telling us all that he will save the club means that in actual fact he is involved - I dont know what is scarier - Marc, if you are reading this, why not confirm or deny your involvement?
saint77 Posted 8 May, 2009 Posted 8 May, 2009 on here before echo;) although the ITK's told me I was wrong! i take it all back nick fair play to you
krissyboy31 Posted 8 May, 2009 Posted 8 May, 2009 on here before echo;) although the ITK's told me I was wrong! Or did the Echo get it from you?
northam soul Posted 8 May, 2009 Posted 8 May, 2009 Mark Dennis state on radio last night that while he was having a drink with Le Tiss he asked him how wealthy his people were, wealth or obscenely wealthy and according to Psycho Le Tiss replied Obscenely.
jawillwill Posted 8 May, 2009 Posted 8 May, 2009 I know people will think this sounds very far fetched but I heard a rumour when I was in West Quay yesterday about some wealthy men from Tajikistan who are here with relation to the club and have some sort of link with the Minogue family (Kylie and Danni etc.). Anyone heard much about this?
Scummer Posted 8 May, 2009 Posted 8 May, 2009 Or did the Echo get it from you? Wouldn't surprise me at all.
NickG Posted 8 May, 2009 Author Posted 8 May, 2009 i take it all back nick fair play to you no worries mate

Anyone heard much about this? We should be so lucky, lucky lucky lucky
NickG Posted 8 May, 2009 Author Posted 8 May, 2009 I have just been reading another Saints forum and it mentions the name 'Stuart Green' as being behind some bid not this Jackson guy. think Nineteen canteen did some digging on him
SaintRichmond Posted 8 May, 2009 Posted 8 May, 2009 I know for a fact one of the bidding parties is a consortium from Finland with links to Eddie Irvine. You mean that if Siverstone does fall through .... they'll switch F1 to St Mary's ...... ??

Hmmmm, but Del Trotter was obscenely wealthy compared to me!
miserableoldgit Posted 8 May, 2009 Posted 8 May, 2009 Getting very confusing! Echo (Yeah. I know!) saying there are "several other potential bids in the pipeline-including one which involves overseas business men" plus a London based who contacted Mark Fry yesterday after talking to Southampton City Council "to see if they could in some way assist him with his plans for Saints.":confused:
bjk Posted 8 May, 2009 Posted 8 May, 2009 Don`t worry. The way things are going, nothing will have happened before you get back! No its bound to happen as soon as i take off.

Offside Posted 8 May, 2009 Posted 8 May, 2009 If there is a Canadian bid, and a big IF as I know nothing, it is probably from Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE). Last year their CEO and CFO visited Saint Mary's amongst other clubs, and there were rumours in Canada at the time that they were interested in purchasing an English club. http://www.thestar.com/comment/columnists/article/417801 They may see Saints as very attractive at the current price; an asset they can grow. Would be amazing for Saints as MLSE is a billion dollar enterprise focused on sports teams. (Toronto Maple Leafs, Toronto Raptors and Toronto FC). There is also a slight Southampton connection as former Saint Jim Brennan is the captain of Toronto FC.
Window Cleaner Posted 8 May, 2009 Posted 8 May, 2009 This could drag on and on if thats the case. I hope we are still in existence when they make their minds up. Oh they'll let it drag on and on, no point in investing money now when there's another charity bash on the 17th to pay the wage bill for another month. If any of these candidates have serious money they didn't get it by being too quick to flash the cash. Nothing definitive for at least another 2 weeks IMO.

Hope there's some legs in it.
