Le Tissier hopeful of Saints buyout soon
MATT Le Tissier has spoken publicly for the first time about his involvement with one of the groups in the running to buy Saints and said he hopes “that in the next few days something will come to fruition.”
Club legend Le Tissier has given his backing to the group, believed to be local property developers whose bid is being managed by Tony Lynam of Pinnacle Property Consultants Limited.
They are believed to be one of three parties in discussions with Southampton Leisure Holdings administrator Mark Fry.
Le Tissier said: “We are hopeful that in the next few days something will come to fruition on that front.
“As it stands at the moment there are several parties interested and we will wait and see what the outcome is.
“I have had talks with one of the interested parties but that’s as far as it goes there is nothing formal and we have to wait and see what the administrator decides.”

Why does Fry have to have everything he says shrouded in mystery.I realise he claims he is not allowed to say anything for legal reasons, but so far he has given misleading info, i.e. date when bids had to be in, we'll fold 2 days after Forest, or tomorrow when £500k in wages is due, Matt not involved.
After 12years of deceit and lies I hope to Le God MLT is actively involved so trust can be established again

Although, towards the end of this season, experience didn't do us any good did it?
I hope that with Matty being involved we may get a couple of older, experianced players to come in and help out for the last few seasons of their carear. Bit like the skates did with teddy sheringham, paul merson etc. although i dont like copying the skates.!

I'm sure Le Tiss would help out on any of the other bids should they become more likely to succeed!

Nothing wrong with training on the common. Saints best results happened during the time the club did that.

We who can only get the Echo on-line, have to wait until the story has run it's course in print, before we are allowed to see it.
So if anyone can add any worthwhile comments it would be appreciated.
For example, someone commented on how much money Lowe paid himself. Over what period of time?

Beggars cant't be chosers can they Mr.Fry?
Looks likely then that the club will be 125-years old next season! What's the date - anyone know exactly?

I'd take everything they say with a pinch of salt, they are very poor with thier facts, they were saying the other day that Woodward was to blame for all our ills and he came AFTER relegation. I wonder how long before this is deleted!
Any worthwhile gossip to come from the Echo "expose" on where it all went wrong?

I hope that MLT will be able to work with whoever comes in as we trust him.
The road ahead will be long and hope that the support will be as good as the recent weeks.
Touch wood...."The Saints WILL March On"....?.
Thank you the 3 x parties...without your interest....I'd hate to live life without Southampton FC.

I have the gretest respect for MLT but saviours have a habit of falling on their sword - read Alan Shearer. Lets be happy with the best bid who ever it turns out to be.....
