Glasgow_Saint Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Who is the mystery man looking to buy us? What do we already know? - substantial wealth. - has had no previous involvement with a football club. Any ideas?
Huffton Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Who is the mystery man looking to buy us? What do we already know? - substantial wealth. - has had no previous involvement with a football club. Any ideas? Bill Gates? Paul Allen? Osama bin Laden? (Hes pretty rich apparently)
Glasgow_Saint Posted 30 May, 2009 Author Posted 30 May, 2009 Richard Branson? would he use Pinnacle Property Consultants Limited to broker the deal? not likely imo Pinnacles involvement suggests to me that the man involved maybe local and possibly a complete unkown.
Legod Third Coming Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Hope hes in good health. Or buys us before he gets into bad health...
Glasgow_Saint Posted 30 May, 2009 Author Posted 30 May, 2009 Would MLT have met Rupert Murdoch through his sky tv work?
Glasgow_Saint Posted 30 May, 2009 Author Posted 30 May, 2009 Didnt they say property developer? Think Pinnacle are the property people - not sure the man behind the scenes is?
sotonjoe Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Jim Ratcliffe? The local petro-chemicals guy? Very wealthy. see http://www.ineos.com/abo_int.html
Huffton Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Didnt they say property developer? Oh God its Michael Wilde, the guy who brokered the deal said he was a Liverpool fan as well;)
Rocker268 Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Wonder why he wants to be known as Mr X. Possibly just incase it all falls through for some unforseen reason they won't be forever known as the person that failed to save saints, or it could just be that they would rather get everything sorted out before they are ambushed by the media
Glasgow_Saint Posted 30 May, 2009 Author Posted 30 May, 2009 Wonder why he wants to be known as Mr X. Could be Simon Cowell?
Colinjb Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 would he use Pinnacle Property Consultants Limited to broker the deal? not likely imo Pinnacles involvement suggests to me that the man involved maybe local and possibly a complete unkown. I was simply guessing. Has anyone had a look at the latest times rich list to try and tie in someone?
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Newsflash....... first picture of mysterious new Saints owner released .
VectisSaint Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Wonder why he wants to be known as Mr X. Perhaps his name is Michael.
Master Bates Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Rod Stewart I don't mind a +1, but only worth $96m? as opposed to several hundred million.
St Chalet Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Newsflash....... first picture of mysterious new Saints owner released . If only we had an earlobe to work with.
Gingeletiss Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Newsflash....... first picture of mysterious new Saints owner released . I think this could be the new 'draw your own choice of face' competition. Alas, my computor skills are such, that I will not be able to enter:(
oxfordshire_saint Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Wonder why he wants to be known as Mr X. Abel Xavier
Master Bates Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Newsflash....... first picture of mysterious new Saints owner released . I forgot to mention, I have x-ray vision
Cumbria Saint Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Could it be Gavyn Davis? I used to garden for his dad when I was a nipper. Saints fans through and through. Now that would be the icing on the cake.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 30 May, 2009 Author Posted 30 May, 2009 Could it be Gavyn Davis? I used to garden for his dad when I was a nipper. Saints fans through and through. Now that would be the icing on the cake. Is he worth quote "several hundred million"?
70's Mike Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Is he worth quote "several hundred million"? AT least 100 million
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 If only we had an earlobe to work with. As one of the principle players in the great earlobe controversy of 2008 I resemble that remark . :mad:
eelpie Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Will our one anonymous financier pass the League's 'fit and proper persons' scrutiny? Will the half dozen anonymous financial investors in Portsmouth's syndicate pass the Premiership's 'fit and proper person' scrutiny? I think I've just answered my own questions. (But perhaps our luck will change for once)
Katalinic Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Whoever he is, I hope he isn't "outed" on here and anything put in jeopardy! (But if anyone knows can they PM me!!)
Pedro Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 whoever he is, we must support him and give our full backing,
explorer saint Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Yep for sure Rod Stewart, my mate told me and he wouldn't lie
Clapham Saint Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southampton/3407225.stm ?
John D Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Isn't he connected to aviva somehow. Wasn't ringo starr in their ad? And he is scouse
AwaySaint1 Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Jim Ratcliffe? The local petro-chemicals guy? Very wealthy. see http://www.ineos.com/abo_int.html I think you may be right. Pinnacle are registered at the same address as a petrochemical business owned by the Gibbons family(The only two companies registered at that address). Gibbons,Strode Gibbons and MLT are all linked in business in the past.
Fan The Flames Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 I heard Julian Clary is a Saints fan, but is his wad big enough.
John Cool Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Is it definitely a bloke? What happened to Mrs. Heineken? Or why not a lady mogul like Deborah Meaden? Carol Vorderman's got loads of money and not much to do now she's not on Countdown anymore...
St. Jason Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 It's got to be Rod. Seen in arrivals at Southampton International Airport today.............
Saint Jude Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 several hundred million - I'd interpret 'several' as somwhere between £300m and £800m (at the top end I'd expect the term near billionnaire or somehting like that).... I think that rules out all of the above... (and thankfully rules out people like Tom Scott)
hypochondriac Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Several suggests more than 3 to me. I reckon between 500 and 900...
