Saint Charlie Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Already Pinnacle et al seem to have made some shrewd decisions. Getting MLT involved is a masterstroke. Communication like this with fans is absolutely vital on a continued basis. Where do I sign for a season ticket?
Give it to Ron Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Having read this twice now I am so optimistic that we have finally turned the corner but I have a crap record...I supported Wilde, gave Lowe a second chance..... All I can do is follow my team as best I can...I said last year was the last year for my 2 STs after hating last season so much. If Pinnacle do complete the take over I will deffo renew. Thanks Tony for your hard work
70's Mike Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Thank You Tony Suppose the Echo will publish this on Monday
SFC1906 Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Massive thanks to Tony and everyone else who helped put this together - you have made alot of people very,very happy. For the first time in ages I am sat here in my Saints shirt, on a Saturday, with a smile on my face - thankyou for providing me with the oppurtunity to do that again!
Viking Warrior Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 The news just gets better My Question would relate to the playing side. once they are in place will they do all they can to keep kelvin Davies, Llanna, surman and co and the rest of the youngsters> This is a really positive day even western isles saint has woken from hibernation. Hello Hebridean Saint from Draganov based in Orkney
manji Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Excellent communication. To the point and no nauseating fan-pandering.
rocknrollman no2 Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 I certainly feel much better after reading that statement. A big thankyou to Mr Lynam for taking the time to contact us fans.
Red and White Army Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Excellent communication. To the point and no nauseating fan-pandering. Let's be fair - he said absolutely nothing concrete at all in several paragraphs, apart from a lot of patting on the back for himself. To you, that might be excellent communication but to me it is anything but.
Viking Warrior Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 So how many of you are going to buy season tickets next year. I will be buying one, Its already in hand, And Im looking forward to sitting with soem fellow forum members.

To you, that might be excellent communication but to me it is anything but. Well we have had enough of manifestos....this is just a start IMO and he couldnt exactly give you his 20 point plan for success considering they havn't actually completed the deal and it could still go tits up. See this for what it is the first step in trying to get us on the right step nothing more.
Mole Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 I like the way Tony posted it himself. A stark contrast to Wildes style of using people.

I will be buying one, Its already in hand, And Im looking forward to sitting with soem fellow forum members. I am also looking forward to buying mine. It will be nice to be able to focus on the football again.
slickmick Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Reading between the lines, will this mean the high earners will be shipped out if we are to be self sufficient ?
Mole Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 So how many of you are going to buy season tickets next year. I will be buying one, Its already in hand, And Im looking forward to sitting with soem fellow forum members. I'll get a membership and will attend when i can. I can't wait for the first home game and will be on the blower to get tickets as soon as they go on sale.
gjphilsaint Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Good news and from an exile... I will invest in a membership and go to as many games as I can... The MK Dons match is likely to be my nearest. Had things transpired local games for me would also have been Peterborough (promoted) and Northampton (relegated).. still beggars cant be choosers. COYR!!!
sun of spain Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 All sounds pretty positive,let's just hope our dark days are gone and the good times return ? Thank you for taking the trouble to reply Mr Lynam,and for all the hard work you and your team have put in.Now you just need to firm things up in the next few weeks,Saints fans worldwide are depending on you.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 As I said on TT's thread - the Saints story meanders on and I feel we will be privelaged to witness the re-birth and new success of our great club. Thanks Tony for a wonderful message of hope - more in tune with the supporters than any transmitted from the Boardroom over the last ten years I would venture. I feel sure that 1,000's of fans like me will be renewing their ST's, buying matchday tickets and merchandise at the very first opportunity. Yours and Matts efforts WILL be recognised for MANY YEARS to come. Thank you. PS: I want a statue of Matt outside SMS alongside Ted! Let's start a campaign!
Nolan Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Reading between the lines, will this mean the high earners will be shipped out if we are to be self sufficient ? reading the actual lines ...arriving to the point that my client was willing to make an offer - not just to buy the club (that's the easy part), but to buy into the concept of sustained investment over the medium-long term to make this great club a success. doesn't sound as if your reading between the lines will be the case
Leicestersaint Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 This sounds very encouraging - for the first time in a long time we can feel positive about the future.
Mole Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Our one client has SUBSTANTIAL wealth - several hundred million. This is a massive difference to the likes of Lowe, Wilde and Crouch. In League 1 and the championship having someone with some clout behind us makes us one of the big boys.
washsaint Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 This all sounds extremely positive and, as Manji says, to the point and no 'we've got our club back'. Who knows what the future holds but the green shoots of recovery appear to be there. I hope we don't try and spend, spend, spend and build around the nucleus of the team from last season with 1 or 2 additions. Many thanks for posting Mr Lynam.
St Marco Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Thanks for taking the time to inform us of the goings on i think we all appreciate it. You said that we can ask questions and you will put them to the guys who want to buy the club. A question i have is what do they think about Wotte and if they do buy the club will they keep him on or replace him?
Mole Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 This all sounds extremely positive and, as Manji says, to the point and no 'we've got our club back'.

I hope we don't try and spend, spend, spend and build around the nucleus of the team from last season with 1 or 2 additions. Many thanks for posting Mr Lynam. In lieu of the points deduction i think we need to strengthen in the summer within reason to overcome this. If come january we are in with a shout of the play-offs/automatic promotion then perhaps make a couple more signings to bolster the charge. Good home gates are vital though because if we don't make the effort then you can hardly expect our new owner to spend his money - it's a two way thing. Finding a new manager is absolutely vital though, but i expect Matt Le Tissier has already sorted this out in private....
ladysaint Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Great news thank you for your communication and was very interested to read that MLT will have a pivotal role in SFC, really looking forward to the start of the season now and season ticket money ready.
WealdSaint Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Phew.................lets look forward to next season
Made in Southampton Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 I've got to ask. Who istony lynam? I may not know him but I'd like to bear his children.
saint michael Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 thank you Tony and your team for creating hope for the future
M271 Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Tony's posting on here states client but on the Pinnacle press release states clients, is this significant ?
Danny Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Tony's posting on here states client but on the Pinnacle press release states clients, is this significant ? Not really, as he says initially he was representing a group of people which has now been whittled down to just one person.

Matthew Le God Posted 30 May, 2009 Author Posted 30 May, 2009 when he was with Paul Tisdale a couple of weeks ago? I've heard this a few times, where has it come from?
saint_mears Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Well thanks Mr Lynam to you and your client for getting to this stage. I am not going to go any further and get carried away. As we know where it counts is on the pitch. So with that in mind i would avoid all Q&A requests as its amateurish behaviour. We had that from someone in recent years who stabbed us all in the back. Also avoid any leaking gossip and coming on this forum as well.
Saint Charlie Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Funny how the Echo have copied it onto their website and have edited out the reference to this website. If this site was down for a week the Echo would be stuggling....
saintpat Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Oh MY GOD!!! A thread on this forum that has got to the 2nd page and is still a happy and positive one!! I never thought I'd see that happen. I know the deals not done, but that letter gives me much hope and I'll be sinking a few pints tonight to celebrate.
LostBoys Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 I am very pleased with this and am certainly more comfortable with the position. Why not name the ONE funder?
EFM Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 No questions yet just a thank you that we can all maybe sleep a lot easier and look forward to a/the future. What a relief. What a change in attitude from a previous regime :-) We'll walk the................sorry!
miserableoldgit Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 I am very pleased with this and am certainly more comfortable with the position. Why not name the ONE funder? I am sure that there is a good reason and all will become clear soon. Meanwhile, I cannot express how much I wish to thank you for your efforts to save our club and give us all hope. I cannot celebrate fully until the deal is done, because there have been so many false dawns and disappointments over the years but will "give it large" when it actully happens! From a very "Happyoldgit!":D
manji Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 I like the way Tony posted it himself. A stark contrast to Wildes style of using people. and no COYR
Saint Billy Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Thank you for those words Mr Lynam and for all the hard work you and your team have put in to keep sfc alive. It is obvious that already your future plans are re-uniting a long divided fan base by the inclusion of our legend MLT and the fact that we will have just one owner. I would also like to give my thanks to Leon Crouch who kept the wolves from the doors and enabled your bid to progress and hopefully conclude. A true saint! Finally, can I wish the new owner in waiting all the best for the future. After suffering many years of division and heartbreak as fans of sfc I think you will find that he will be welcome with open arms.
harwellsaint Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 hope and pray this is true, after being fed dross and lies by that moron lowe, who treated the loyal and in my eyes one of the best set of supporters in the land as sub human scum, this reads as a real treat for all of us saints, so welcome and god bless you uts
manji Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Let's be fair - he said absolutely nothing concrete at all in several paragraphs, apart from a lot of patting on the back for himself. To you, that might be excellent communication but to me it is anything but. He cant say too much at the moment but the letter gives some idea whats going on.I dont get the "patting himself on the back" thing at all. He sounds quite pleased but why not ? No sign of "SAINTS GO TONY" T-shirts at all.
tommi Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Thank you Mr Lynam, thank you Matt and thanks Mr Mystery Investor. Now it's time for us all to unite, move on from the past, get behind the club, the players, forget about the boardroom and enjoy a stonking couple of years returning to the promised land!
Midfield_General Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Mr Lynam and the LEGEND that is Matt Le Tiss, all I will say is: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU O:) SAINTS FOREVER
4737_carlin Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Any suggestions that the Candy brothers are the pinnacle client ? http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/candy-and-candy-sweet-dreams-777220.html
Toadhall Saint Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Superb letter - the future could be red and White!
Marsdinho Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Finally, some good news !!! Got everything crossed, hoping that this deal does go through. If it does, I’m so glad that MLT will have a major role within the club. Hopefully, this will be the start of a bright new era for all Saints fans. Looking forward to (slowly probably!!) working our way back up the leagues. Is it possible to elevate Le Tissier to a position higher that god !!! COYR
