Saint Charlie Posted 30 May, 2009 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Give it to Ron Posted 30 May, 2009 Share 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.

Red and White Army Posted 30 May, 2009 Share Posted 30 May, 2009 Excellent communication. To the point and no nauseating fan-pandering.

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.

gjphilsaint Posted 30 May, 2009 Share 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.

Saint Fan CaM Posted 30 May, 2009 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole Posted 30 May, 2009 Share 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.

washsaint Posted 30 May, 2009 Share 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 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysaint Posted 30 May, 2009 Share 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.

saint_mears Posted 30 May, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Billy Posted 30 May, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
