Channon8 Posted 26 May, 2009 Posted 26 May, 2009 I know i dont post often,but i thought i would share my news.Their is an Irish consortium that have today paid the £500,000 required to enter a period of exclusivity,and a deal is done at £15,000,000,subject to nothing untoward being found.As we were a PLC,working under strict guidlines hopefully none will be found. The Pinnacle bid is still very much in the hunt and this new interest from the 2 Irish guys might force there hand one way or the other.Hopefully within a matter of days we will have a club to be proud of once again.

kpturner Posted 26 May, 2009 Posted 26 May, 2009 What I cannot understand is how one group pays £500k and gets exclusivity when another group (MJ/SG) have the £500k waived and get to see the books without exclusivity. How can one group have exclusivity when another one is already (alledgedly) going through DD on the accounts etc?

Just to let you know, you've used 'their' and 'there' the wrong way around. It is otherwise a very good post and one that has raised my spirits. COYR
trousers Posted 26 May, 2009 Posted 26 May, 2009 Four different posters with 'Channon' in their forum name in the first 13 posts of one thread. Some kind of world record I would venture.

dubai_phil Posted 26 May, 2009 Posted 26 May, 2009 It seems like good news, the the input I had (which isn't from my usual source) they seem to have made a deposit but they may still be going over the wording of contracts. Don't celebrate yet, minefileds will still have to be negotiated, the cavalry could be coming

agboola Posted 26 May, 2009 Posted 26 May, 2009 Could this be it? Irish Tycoon In Frame For Saints Takeover - 17/02/2008 Irish cinemas tycoon Tom Anderson has emerged as the latest potential buyer of Southampton. Directors are in talks with a group of local businessman, but Anderson is close to making an offer for the near-30 per cent stake of the club's leading shareholder and former chairman Rupert Lowe. The deal is understood to have been brokered by former Everton chairman Paul Gregg and his associate Tom McLoughlin. It is believed that Gregg may also take an equity stake. Southampton has now been up for sale for 18 months to the growing frustration of its fans. Anderson runs Ward Anderson which took control of a dozen UK movie theatres in 2005 including the Leicester Square Empire. The Anderson family is said to be worth £105m.

dubai_phil Posted 26 May, 2009 Posted 26 May, 2009 Good news! Any source? yes, but I would guess the OP has the direct line and mine came from my mate the taxi driver for a change my txt was a while ago but phone was on silent, my mate said almost word for word the OP. Either it's real or it's a play by Fry, sounds more the former
