DT Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 If there was one way of turning off potential Irish investors it would be to offend them by resorting to cliches, stereotypes and mildly racist generalisations. Please stop it, Echo, and please stop it everyone else.
Toomer Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 Could Pinnacle be representing these guys ? Could Jackson be fronting for these guys as everything about him sounds a bit Irish.
krissyboy31 Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 what is it with the echo, all over the back page a bloody four leaved clover ffs. What's wrong with the shamrock you prats. lmfao!!

DT Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 DT but it is Ok calling MJ a photocopier salesman etc Er...I didn't. Perhaps you could show me where I've even mentioned him?

Please stop it, Echo, and please stop it everyone else. I have it on good authority (sorry, can't reveal my source) that the Irish have a sense of humour, so fret ye not. Edit: ah, what the heck....one's source is one's father, who is Irish.

ART Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 How come that none of you on here are concerned that the council has granted today the building of the new full view 5th Stand to the Stadium which will ensure the likes of Rupert Lowe will be lording from greater heights over the club forever more. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/4398902.__30m_landmark_set_for_city_skyline/

krissyboy31 Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 Nothing from Fry on Solent News. Pinnacle not given up on become preferred bidder, despite Irish bid reports. Main story was P**pey takeover.

70's Mike Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 Been out of circulation for a few hours, read this and see the frenzy continues over a rumour nothing will happen until friday
EFM Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 I want to know why SSN are so obsessed with some bloody game in Rome tonight and the only passing mention of Southampton I've seen was "Mark Wotte says they will need to sell at least 2 players" - which is certainly a bloody bizarre bit of timing by him and not greatly encouraging. I am being overwhelmed by the lack of definite news! (Except about sodding PFC which is probably the last thing I wanted to hear. Ok, second last.)
The9 Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 FFS you can't be racist towards a Nationality!! Yes, stop just being harmlessly xenophobic, racists. ;-)
Redondo Saint Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 Jackson consortium, collection of money men brought together, low bid rejected, second bid no deposit, looking at the books. Pinnacle, similar but bring MLT on board, two money men walk away, bid collapses, keep trying and may have got a couple more money men or originals have been persuaded. Alleged Irish interest, advanced discussions deposit ready, moving forward. Fry hoping to name preferred bidder by the end of tomorrow. If the Irish bid has come this far this quickly and turn out to be serious, are named the preferred bidders, that would be preferable for me, as the other two have been struggling to put it together for a long time now. What is it with the Echo, all over the back page a bloody four leaved clover FFS. What's wrong with the shamrock you prats. you said it - they are prats.
docker-p Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 What is it with the Echo, all over the back page a bloody four leaved clover FFS. What's wrong with the shamrock you prats. 95% of the population wouldn't know what a shamrock looks like. Including me.
derry Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 95% of the population wouldn't know what a shamrock looks like. Including me. Otherwise known as a trefoil, it looks like a clover except three leaves not four.
Graffito Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 95% of the population wouldn't know what a shamrock looks like. Including me. It looks like a four leaf clover which is why the Echo..
krissyboy31 Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 It looks like a four leaf clover which is why the Echo.. No, it looks like a three leaf clover.
derry Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 It looks like a four leaf clover which is why the Echo.. Shamrock is the Irish symbol not a bloody clover leaf. If the Echo want to represent the Irish bid with a clover leaf it shows either stupidity or ignorance.
wireframebox Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 It looks like a four leaf clover which is why the Echo.. Looks like a 3 leaf clover. lol.
INFLUENCED.COM Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 it shows either stupidity or ignorance. Not both ?
SOTONS EAST SIDE Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 (edited) I am being overwhelmed by the lack of definite news! (Except about sodding PFC which is probably the last thing I wanted to hear.

Draino76 Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 They should have done a Guinness with a clover leaf drawn in the head of the beer IMO.
bridge too far Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 No, it looks like a three leaf clover.? Shouldn't that be a 'tree leaf clover'? I'm allowed to say that because I've got Irish blood in me.
westofshannonsaint Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 It's obvious when you know... lol i nearly spat coffee all over my laptop, but seriously when you see them side by side A is Shamrock & B is Clover.
Saints foreva Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 They should have done a Guinness with a clover leaf drawn in the head of the beer IMO. Could be our new badge tbh.
tpbury Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 ? Shouldn't that be a 'tree leaf clover'? I'm allowed to say that because I've got Irish blood in me. And still able to type at the same time.
miserableoldgit Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 lol i nearly spat coffee all over my laptop, but seriously when you see them side by side A is Shamrock & B is Clover. Enough botany. Can we get back to the grammar class please?
Pancake Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 You do realise that a Shamrock IS in fact a Clover, yeah?
Graffito Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 ? I'm allowed to say that because I've got Irish blood in me. Me too but clearly some on here take all this symbolics very seriously so I'm off down the pub for a pint before I offend anyone else.
ericofarabia Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 Your swine rumour mill is infecting us now. Rumours sweeping our boards from new posters of a big announcement within 36 hours (not Paul Hart) Come on own up it's one of you isn't it. Better not be LifeLong Saint taking us over Pah ..... Pathetic!! We wouldn't egt out of bed for anything less than an announcement in 48 hours I lived in Umm Sequiem for 5 years - an old mate of Erics! Park n shop! Kids went to JC! Hi Pete ... how they hangin!! Summer has just arrived 45c !! Park n Rob has been reprieved and won't be knocked down hooray !! Absolutely. I reckon if it's going to happen it will be today, tomorrow or not at all. Oi !! Respect the Friday Takeover Sorry about the multi quoting! Had to get my moneys worth for my last post of the day ;-) If the Irish takeover happens :cool:, will St Mary's be renamed Hail Marys Does this mean the end of the Rod Stewart takeover then
dellboypete Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 Hi Pete ... how they hangin!! Summer has just arrived 45c !! Park n Rob has been reprieved and won't be knocked down hooray !! Hi eric, Glad you're keeping you're cool over the takeover! and I hope the AC working out there! Only 45 - so much for global warming. Have cool speckled on me!!
trousers Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 You do realise that a Shamrock IS in fact a Clover, yeah? More or less.... They are both species of trefoil - genus Trifolium, from the Latin meaning "having three leaves".
northam soul Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 So after 14 million takeover threads spanning 2 years the only chuffing one with any real facts and names is a ****ing poompey one. I despair, for gods sake somebody put us out of our misery even if you cant afford to **** in a pot. I just want to watch the news and see a real person saying real words that he has bought us, names is all we ask just tell us who you are and how deep your pockets are.

I just want to watch the news and see a real person saying real words that he has bought us, names is all we ask just tell us who you are and how deep your pockets are. You want the really bad news? Even IF Fry makes someone exclusive in this current 48 hour cycle, the work still to be done before completion (ie the money is paid) would mean that it is highly UNLIKELY that any backers would want their identities known, simply because of the risk to their mainstream business if they were to be seen to have made a public failure. So, in other words, probably not before NEXT Friday
Saint Fan CaM Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 So - I go away to do some useful stuff - come back here to find out who's in the end game for takeover and its all changed again with no result. You couldn't make this stuff up. There must be some big problems with the books for it to take this long FFS. One things for sure - the ITK's are NOT ITK. I do not believe anything put out by Radio Solent, The Echo or the forum ITK's anymore because we're all being fed a load of inaccurate tripe. If we ever get to see someone buy the club it'll be when we're least expecting it. IMHO.

Please stop it, Echo, and please stop it everyone else. Most Irish people have a sense humour and a personality. It would seem that you don't.

gibbons Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 Dyer sold for 400k...200k tomorrow morning and 200k next month....assets gone down and buys fry more time to not make a decision....the irish bid is a massive smoke screen imo for bidding to go up....
INFLUENCED.COM Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 This Irish consortium, is it made up of two or tree fella's ?

Made in Southampton Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 So has anything actually happened today or is this pure speculation again? Is the still going to be an update from fry by the end of the day?
