Football League want Southampton to forego right of appeal
3:00pm Monday 22nd June 2009
PINNACLE remain very confident they can complete their delayed takeover of Saints following the Football League’s emergency board meeting today.
The Matt Le Tissier-backed group failed to do a deal before their 21-day period of exclusivity expired on Friday evening.
In what was a huge anti-climax, the takeover wasn’t completed due to the Football League asking Pinnacle to waive their rights to appeal against the club’s 10-point deduction which comes in at the start of next season.

As Pinnacle refused to do that, the League have yet to issue them the licence needed to play in 2009/10 – a licence that was withdrawn after Southampton Leisure Holdings PLC, the club’s parent company, had entered administration.
But following talks over the weekend, the Echo understands that Pinnacle believe the problem will be ironed out after the League’s board meeting today.
Pinnacle’s Tony Lynam said last night: “We remain totally confident the takeover will go through.”
The last-minute delay with regards to Pinnacle’s appeal against the deduction led many fans to question why that matter had not been sorted out earlier in the period of exclusivity.
Lynam said the League have always been aware of Pinnacle’s plan to appeal but it was not until the middle of last week that the stumbling block which was made public on Friday came to Pinnacle’s attention The 10-point deduction imposed by the League last April following Southampton Leisure Holdings PLC’s descent into administration is not the stumbling block to Pinnacle completing their drawn-out takeover.
Instead, it’s the club’s right to appeal the points deduction.
Lynam said: “The issue of the points deduction is for another day. We just want the right to appeal against it.
“We don’t want to make an enemy of the Football League, we realise we need to work with them.”
Lynam added: “This is not a new issue, rather something which we have made clear from day 1 – and something which the Administrators of Southampton Leisure Holdings PLC (Mark Fry) has been party to since we engaged in our discussions.
“We remain totally committed to completing this deal as it is clearly in the best long term interests of the club and signifies a new start with the right people in control of Southampton Football Club, signifying a fresh start and an opportunity for a brighter future.
“Significant to our ability to complete our takeover, we are simply asking for clarity, nothing more, nothing less.
“Our understanding is that such confirmation will be forthcoming shortly.
“We will continue to work hard with the Administrators of Southampton Leisure Holdings PLC to finalise these matters.”
As revealed in Saturday’s Echo, a consortium featuring Marc Jackson and Stuart Green are waiting in the wings if Pinnacle’s deal does not go through.
A Swiss-based group also remain interested.

To be honest, as long as we get a hearing, salvation for the club is the most important thing. If it means 10pts then so be it. My only wish is that Messrs Lowe and Wilde are given life bans from St Marys.
The sun is shining, summer is here..... this is going to be a good day.

I'm encouraged that there appear to be steady nerves behind the bid, as well as what seems to be a genuine concern for the club.
What concerns me slightly more is that what was presented as a "wealthy individual" now is referred to as a "group" or even "consortium". But I suppose that everything will be revealed in due course.

Never give in to league blackmail!!
But at the end of the day a deal must be done..
with or without 10 points, a league to be won.
Its been a long hard slog for most of us fans
We've got nowhere to look to complete our plans!!
What's round the corner..?
What's in sight?
This time next May.. what's our plight??
Good judgement! bad luck! It's the ref's fault! who we let go.. who we bought!!
As long as we have a team out there..
who turn up at matches and do give a care..
These are the things we all want so much..
I don't think we deserve another kick in the Crutch!!!

If we had finished last season with 17 more points we would have taken the 10 point penalty and stayed up by one point in a similar manner to Stockport.

The 'after the deadline' thing is only an issue if you are relegated anyway before the deduction (as we were) - then it is held over. If we had come fourth from bottom last season we would have been relegated by the penalty points and started on 0 next season. If say Swansea, Ipswich or Cardiff had have gone into admin after the deadline they would simply have dropped a few places in the table - it would not be held over. So you can actually go into admin with relative impunity if you are not in the play-offs and you have enough points (ie 10 or 11 above the drop).

We worked a loophole. if the League were too slow to close that loop hole that is thier problem not ours! I think the league could have done loads to stop clubs getting into huge debt etc... and i really hope they do, but they cannot bully us and say sorry you can only own Saints if you agree with us! That is ridiculous.

We do actually deserve the 10 points.. but if there is a way of avoiding it then go for it!

Andy Locks Heath wrote:Andy, are you seriously saying that SLH were formed with the intention of avoiding a 10 point deduction for the football club? SLH were formed in 1986 and was used as a "vehicle" to purchase the football club and many other activities such as the insurance and radio arms. The Derby County (and West Ham)scenarios are I think irrelevant because I believe they come under the Premier league rules which are different. The league are attempting to insert an unfair contract term into its agreement to allow us back into the league. If SFC folds (which it won't), I don't think Norwich Union's lawyers will be too happy.

Not an argument I'm afraid. On the other hand, I fully agree with your other argument; it's our RIGHT to appeal, so why shouldn't we? To withhold our licence subject to waiving that right is tantamount to blackmail, as has been suggested in previous posts.
I hope the FL will see sense and grant the licence and that Pinnacle do appeal. What are the alternatives? The FL withhold our licence (can we appeal in time for the start of the season?) or Pinnacle withdraw their bid? Will any other bidder be prepared to bid for the club and waive their right to appeal?

The League know that if they allow an appeal it will be successful which will put them in an embarrassing situation so likely as not they'll offer some fudge to Pinnacle along the lines of "we'll reduce the penalty to 5 points and issue the license if you agree not to appeal".
The league should have said"You may appeal but if you lose you will take an extra 10 pts penelty"
That would set the cat amongst the pigeons.

Major Sir Jerry Pending wrote:How about keeping the penalty to 10 points but sticking it on last season like stockport,
The League know that if they allow an appeal it will be successful which will put them in an embarrassing situation so likely as not they'll offer some fudge to Pinnacle along the lines of "we'll reduce the penalty to 5 points and issue the license if you agree not to appeal".
they dropped a few places but it didn't really affect them
we could take the 10 points last year drop a few places(ie bottom)
it wouldn't really affect us as per stockport because if i remember the facts
stockport declared admin after us
stockport was not in a relegation place at the time and nor were we or is this all to simple
wouldn't it allow everbody to save face to certain degree

threetimes wrote:no the opposite is true. why should club "A" have the right to wait to see if it gets relegated and then go into administration to avoid paying creditors?
No club should have 10 point deductions carried over to a following season, when they're owned by a completely different business/board. Ok, we're bound to be a little biased here because we find ourselves in this situation, but as far as I'm concerned deductions should take place immedidately, regardless of where the club is in the league table. Otherwise, it's a different rule for those who finish in the relegation places than for those at the top, and that just can't be right, surely?
as why should club "B" say well now we are relegated were f**ked so lets go into administration and save some cash.
its to make sure either way owners that appear to be attempting to absolve themselves of their financial commitment to the club cant walk away/sell off without being held to account.
that said its still aa crap way of sorting it out, but thats what happens in business, which aint emotional or sentimental.

STOP THIS SHORT NAMING AND MAKING IT SOUND LIKE A WIND UP
Im fully aware that his name sounds like Ali Dia, but he was one of the 4 that agreed to put the money in. He has more money than the other 3 and is the known bidder according to sources.
I mentioned last week how there would be no deal on the friday and the first anyone would hear/read a done deal is in the Tuesday papers.
Ive been proven correct once and will be by the end of play for a 2nd time
Alistair Dias is not a wind up on the name Ali Dia who we are all well aware of.
Its just coincidence but the new chant for the season will be "only 2 Ali Dias" im sure! Only this one comes with a saviour note next to his name!
If this was a wind up it would kind of backfire on me for saying its not a wind up and explaining not to link the name back to Ali Dia the player....!!
£700m background, is great for me!

After spending the morning checking every possible source for information - nothing more interesting to report than the FL meeting is today!
Honestly what a wasted day this is going to be - can't concentrate on anything at the moment. Even the thought of kinkyboots70 (is that her age?) posting something about the hire of a big Merc from the airport to SMS doesn't excite me any more!
All this speculation on the 10-points issue is crippling me! There is no easy answer - sit tight and await the statement from the FL, then Pinnacle and finally Mark Fry...not necessarily in that order - but you know what I mean!
Oh well back to hunting for that MX5 I promised her in doors (my toy really!) - until later friends and fellows saints fans!

In that case it isn't him! Why are people forgetting the point made a couple of weeks back that stated, from Pinnacle, their backer has never had anything to do with football or any football club. He is providing the money and leaving the footballing matters to the people on the board that know about the game.
If Dias was involved with Fulham then it isnt going to be him.....can we have a new name to talk about now?

Tevez888, you simply don't amass a 700m fortune without Google knowing your name. Apart from anything else, with that kind of money he'd have appeared in the Rich List, and he hasn't. This Dias bloke is imaginary. You're either making it up, or have been sadly misinformed. My money's on Ratcliffe.
Ive never mentioned the Fulham FC link so you can judge for yourself whether he is.
Ive not made someone up and in all honesty it does not bother me if one or nobody takes this as genuine.
I have not stated "please believe me otherwise I will cry" and have just left the comment for all to know that there is always one person who knows something and you think "my god, he/she was right". Dont judge a book and all that!
All I will say to make this credible is that ive seen the letter that was sent to Mr Fry, and have PROOF that I will not simply pass on, that he (alistair dias) was one of the original 4 that were involved and that HE is the man with the money that is being put down.
All the paper work is done, as you now know, all we are waiting for is the FL to play ball, then you will see that this and my other posts have been genuines sources of info.
To further my reliability that this is no fairytale, Dowie is coming in as a No2, which is completely against what I would like to see! There would be no point me adding that to the info if there was no genuine proof that I do know a little bit about the takeover.
I dont like Dowie, and so there would be no point me adding that kind of knowledge on here!

Tim, if the situation had been reversed and Saints were relegated because some other club won this argument on a technicality we'd be outraged. The Football club and the PLC are in this case more or less the same thing so this attempt to separat them is facile legal hair splitting. Next year every club in the league will simply register their financial department as a separate limited company and we are back to square one. This isn't Unilever, this is SFC PLC pretending it's still an old folks home. How Pinnacle went into this thinking the League would change their minds is beyond me. Are they that naiive? Just because we want something to happen doesn't make it right and in this case sorry to say it but SAints have to take their mdedicine and get on with it, as other clubs have had to do.
No-one will be relegated instead of saints if we win the appeal. The best that Saints could hope for would be compenesation for the League effecting the course of the league. I would be just annoyed if I where a Swansea et al. How likely where saints to take points of the likes of Burnley if we where already relegated?
Also you know nothing about the history of the PLC.
The League where happy for a family club to be taken over in a reverse takeover and floated on the stock exchange. They sanctioned the creation of the PLC monster and now they want to destroy the club in some misguided attempt to halt the excesses of football.
The sole reason why saints are in admin is the debt of the stadium. A move sanctioned, neigh encouraged by the league.
This season we have spent virtually nothing on wages and attendance have dropped accordingly the net result the PLC has gone into administartion.
"take our medicine" What exactly where saints supposed to do play in 16K capacity stadium for fear of being relegated?

SFC holdings went into administration, because they couldnt meet their commitments to creditors which included all the players and all the staff. they havent paid anyone since april. the administrator has paid the wages with transfer money and exclusivty agreement wit pinnacle, plus personal donations from Mr Crouch.
the wage bill is still approx £500k a month. and yes ironically if they were in a sold out 16000 stadium with the correct stewardship they would be ok.

We can now refocus on the 5th Chandlers Ford Girl Guides,at St Martin in The Wood who still need a new leader. Come on people, where are the good souls when you need them most ?
Now, is this 6 o'clock announcement rumour true?

They are a total joke lead by that Pratt Mawhinney, a total joke for a man!!
Pinnacle are now in talks with their lawyers.

If Pinnacle want to change how things are done then they should do it by working behind the scenes to get support for Mawhinney's removal.The alternative use to use the 'stalking horse' method to test the court's decision as regards the League's behaviour.Hell, Id volunteer myself to front a legal bid to gain the right of appeal.

Does anyone else think that it might not be a massively wealthy person or at least they don’t have the intention to bankroll the club? I am not accusing Mr. Lynam of deceit in the correspondence he has graciously addressed to the fans. However, why buy now? I know that the club is without an owner so now is an ideal time for one to appear. But owners that have millions to spend don’t always just pop up at these times. On the one hand the club might be cheaper now. For instance the shareholders don’t have to be paid off. However, the debts have to be cleared at a level acceptable to the creditors. Could ownership not have been secured for a lot less and then the mortgage be renegotiated afterwards (I believe it that was happening anyway)? Would a serious buyer with intentions to invest/ waste money on Southampton and has a fan-like attachment to the club wait until administration hits the club to come out of the blue? Is purchasing a club in administration more troublesome than when not or easier? If they were previously interested, would they have not known of the 10pts rule?
Can Lowe’s complicated SLH structure or his intransigence/ share price be the only reason for a purchase now? Where were they 13 months ago or even 6 months ago? Might it instead be a case of a hobbled together group brought together to rescue the club, perhaps due to MLT’s encouragement? Will an owner like this be so generous and perhaps we ought to not raise our hopes higher we have a club in the League next year?
On the other hand - just contradict myself - now is just as likely as anyother time for someone to suddenly think they will buy a club and spend loads on it!
