dubsaint Posted 26 May, 2009 Share 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.

SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 26 May, 2009 Share Posted 26 May, 2009 Boy, I still haven't found what I'm looking for on this thread. It could all end in War. Still, let's hope we're not still here in October, with Sunday as the new Friday... cos you know what they'll be saying then don't you: "Sunday, Bloody Sunday!" Hopefully instead they will have the grace to get it done in a little while, or we will just be stuck in a moment you can't get out of. Anyway, with or without you and your support (and you know, sometimes you can't make it on your own) I wonder if it would result in the unforgettable fire-ing of Mark Wotte. And how much would it cost? But how much more might we be worth in a few years? 40 million maybe. That would surely bring a lot of Pride in the name of love for the saints badge. Yes! The Saints are coming! Let's just hope that the Electric Co. don't switch off the lights before it all goes through, cos it really could turn out to be a beautiful day and each day is one step closer to when we sing our adulation in God's country to the city of blinding lights that is southampton and also to Bono, declaring that it's 'all because of you'. Yes, when I look at the world, that really could be a great outcome! (U2 can waste ur time quoting song titles from songs!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
