Amesbury Saint Posted 28 May, 2009 Posted 28 May, 2009 Morph said: No news from me I'm afraid. I'm hoping that the edge of the cliff negotiations that seem to be taking place now are a success. I suppose we all have to be patient and wait and see. BTW I suspect that Salz is the 4th interested party as he has been interested from the start of all this, he just does not appear to have the money that others are reported to be prepared to lay out. Regards Morph if there is money on the table, why are the creditors not accepting it? If it goes on much longer there will only be the breakup value of the club left.
Mole Posted 28 May, 2009 Posted 28 May, 2009 I'm glad no-one has mentioned the rumour about the Wilde Singapore consortium.
DaintyDave Posted 28 May, 2009 Posted 28 May, 2009 Wow does everyone need to relax. An old blast from the past may be hovering around and could help secure some global talent for the club

An old blast from the past may be hovering around and could help secure some global talent for the club I find there is little to relax about. Employees not getting paid is never a good sign. your post mentions "may" and "could" after 50 days in administration, hardly very concrete unless you know more than you are saying.

Viking Warrior Posted 28 May, 2009 Posted 28 May, 2009 (edited) Wow watch out DaintyDave is about to spread false rumours again. Hes far worse than some original ITKS Either he's Tommac in disguise or a skate pouring yet more misery on us heartbroken saints fans with barely a club to support. If you have something to say daintydave the spill the total beans on what you know not little scraps of information in order to try and put you on a pedestal as the ITK of all the ITKwr's Edited 28 May, 2009 by Viking Warrior

Mole Posted 28 May, 2009 Posted 28 May, 2009 Weston Saint said: Are you the blast from the past? Oh you cannot answer tonight as you have used up your 3 posts. Of course he is. Pancake reckons it's not tommac but i still think it is.
Verbal Posted 28 May, 2009 Posted 28 May, 2009 DD is not tommac. I hope. With the club clinging onto life by its fingernails, tommac's return would just about kill us off, such was the incredible damage his foolishness caused last time. But I think I'd know that noodle head's writing style (for want of a better phrase) anywhere and this isn't it, unless he's gone back to school. I did find the 'paedo' attack a bit deranged, though. Definitely a personal grudge. And the way he gets his ITK posing pouch out is a bit distressing. But tommac couldn't spell 'pyrrhic', even with a dictionary. He'd have thought it was just a posh way of saying pr1ck.

Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 28 May, 2009 Posted 28 May, 2009 When all this is over, for good or bad, I'm gonna write a book about it. You couldn't make it up. Bazza the Briefcase, Paul Allen, Jackson, St David, Kelso Kev(in) Keegan, Tommac, the tranny named after the Beach Boys song (was that Tommac?), tracking mysterious yachts across the ocean, sheiks who end up being women, Rupert the Duck Hunter and on and on. I swear nobody would believe it. It's like the plot of the Da Vinci Code. I really do hope the book will have a happy ending though.

sotonjoe Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 my sources tell me that all will be revealed tomorrow and that it will be what we least expect. It is friday after all and there have been some interesting characters in the back of taxis to and from the airport over the last couple of days.

Look you may mean well, but posting such a loose bit of supposed ITK gossip that even a skate could dream up, is hardly going to make you Mr. Popular is it? We're well past this - the club is in grave danger - posting weak rumour from some stranger in a taxi is poor form now IMO.

Summers Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 Someone want a lol? I'm usually up to date with ITKness, but this is purely rumour and not from my ITK source, but I thought i'd give you all a wee bit of lighthearted relief! This ''so-called'' mystery consortium, bloke told me at work that David Beckham's involved as well as Tom Cruise, and the man leading this ''so-called'' consortium was none other than Salz. Now, THAT would be funny, Never ever gonna happen though.
ITKSaint Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 You'd have to hope someone involved in a multi-million pound transaction would stretch to a limo from the airport, not a cab off the rank and a bit of banter with the cabbie. I cry Phooey! Phooey! The problem is the lack of solid information, part of the process of course we can't be privy to business dealings and the work of the Administrator, but very frustrating and a breeding ground for rumour - this all confirmed from my source

DaintyDave Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 Trust me, the fella who is really out in front in the Southampton Acquisition stakes is real, plenty of cash....only a tiny wee fella though so not easy to spot him in the back of taxis etc. Plenty of heavyweights around to obscure, but I am sure the "ITK" crowd know who he is already, how he is connected and how the info on two of the bids is a little crossed over....Irish and Overseas and all that. But I am irritating some and starting ta bore others. Wonder if gold and black will be the new away strip........... Sincerely wish I could just spill the name, but 3 posts a day....would be unfair to hit and run. Admin should find a way to allow casual posters to reply to PMs or something. Funniest thing is the Echo don't know because their sources for these stories (i.e. two of the other bidding parties) don't know who the main guy is either. Which is the other reason can't post it on here. The clues are out there people, and sorry if this makes me sound like a tit, if I could communicate more than twice more today I would honestly give it straight from the horses mouth. But if this comes off, and it should, the smug bar stewards down the road might find that their gloating was premature and Saints will once again be associated with honour and glory.

Unfortunately the taxi driver took him to Portmouth by mistake, the rest is history. Had a good laugh at this, but then realised the fatal flaw. There are no taxi drivers in this area who support the Skates, so it would be impossible for any of them to drive an Arabian gentleman to Skatesville by mistake. Far more likely that the passenger would have asked to have been taken to Skatesville and the cunning Saints supporting taxi driver would have taken him to St Mary's instead. So it obviously never happened. ;-)

InvictaSaint Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 I was interested in the capitalisation of Southampton Acquisition (SA - South Africa) and by the black and gold reference. The Springboks shirt is black and gold....so are we looking for a short, wealthy South African? The De Haans? Very big in the horse racing world (hence the Irish link?) and owners of SAGA the over 60s holiday company, based in the south-east. Could be wrong, but just trying to unravel the cryptic clues....

Unfortunately the taxi driver took him to Portmouth by mistake, the rest is history. Ironically enough, that is not as daft as it sounds ..... Over the years, I have posted many times, that once Pompey got their act together, they would soon outstrip Saints..... ( I was saying this when we were in the Prem and they were struggling in the CCC Historically, Pompey WERE Big, and got gates well over 40000 at Fratton. Ask yourself this .... even when we had St Mary's built, and things were going for us Football wise, we were STILL not considered as Big as the "Sleeping Giant down the road Forget all the stupid hostility .... ( Is it not pitiful, that, even now, the Biggest chant at St Mary's is the "We hate Pompey " song ?? ) A Sheikh has honed in on a Prem Club, who play in an antiquated Stadium, (max capacity 21000), and is now going to take on their debt, AND invest money into the Club Good Luck to them I say ....... BUT WHY THEM AND NOT US ???? It cannot just be the fact that (now) we are Div ! ..... most pundits would reckon that given a little investment, we would certainly get back to the CCC pretty quick .......... Chicken and egg ...... success breeds success, victory's would mean rising attendances etc, etc. Unfortunately, I now think it will never happen. Most people know my thoughts on this site. Something is basically WRONG in the way SFC is set up........ Even over the past Twelve years, it is if we had the Bubonic Plague ....... NO Investment at all during that time ..... Businessess do NOT survive under those conditions, and the situation we now find ourselves in proves that point Pompey have been "taken over" very quickly ......... WE still (alegedly) may have a few "interested parties" hovering around. I don't think so .... we may end up with a Hotch Potch solution, but, IMHO, "you know who" will be the "mastermind" behind it

derry Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 It is time to **** or get off the pot. The four contestants are screwing the operation. The three weakest need to step aside and allow the strongest whoever that is to close the deal. Fry is on the brink of killing the club. He needs to call time if he has one definite bidder with the means to close the deal. It would be a lot easier with only one, the creditors might not be able to up the ante but they have put us where we are, especially Barclays.
