Swiss group arrive for Saints talks (From Daily Echo)

How much of this is actually real rather than Saints managing a drip feed of info to the Echo to force the others to conclude deals? Surely, we can't survive another 3 week exclusivity period as there'll be no players left to start the season with. Really disappointed with Pinnacle and wonder whether Lynam is all mouth enjoying 15 mins in the spotlight?

If Pinnacle are so confident that they will sign the contract and tie up the deal why don't they pay for another exclusivity period, covering the wages of staff? I am with them in holding out with the league now. It is not right for them to blackmail the club to sign a waiver when we have every right to appeal the points deduction. If the league was so confident the points deduction will stand why can't they just accept that we will be appealing it and give us the licence to join the league! They did the same thing with Bournemouth apparently...I think they're affraid if a club appeals they will win on a technicality and it will then cause other clubs to sue at the end of the season if we finish above them! The rules need changing anyway.

I told you this Pinnacle group are looking for the easy way out. Move over and let someone who is serious about our club to finance our club.Not worry over a petty 10 points which would easily be eaten up buy a backer who puts there money up for some new players, and get some momentum going before we kick a ball. Cheap subsidised season tickets to get bums on seats, so the ground is full and the new team get the crowd behind them. Lynam put up or shove off we have had just about enough of you right to appeal, saints fans dont care about it, all we care about is playing in div3 and getting results on the pitch.

Absolutely spot on, I`ve been trying to get people to actually READ the League regulation 12 for weeks but I guess that takes brains, easier to mouth off about Lord M and whine it`s not fair. The situation has been crystal clear from day one. The regs talk about an "insolvency event" , an example might be you can`t pay the staff! Saints agreed to the regs when they signed up at the beginning of last season. Fry knew there were 7 days to appeal although he probably realised Saints didn`t meet the appeal criteria. Don`t like it? There is a remedy- go to the high Court and ask for a judicial review!

YAwwwwWWWNNNN!!!!!! \\sigh, ... you do realise who you support and were you come from, right? The town is the pits, built on waste land, your players are leaving as they realise it is a hole and nothing more.

Boring, life wasters who have nothing better to do with your time than throw a cheap insult at us. Brilliant. Highlight of your day thinking you have got one over us.

It seems as if their five year plan was to spend all their time in the courts. They knew the situation before they put down their half a million quid, and if they did not, how come every Saints fan knew? I wonder! Did the Pinnacle Group ride into town on horseback, wearing stetsons and head for the nearest saloon? That's what they usually do in the cinema!

Are you a secret P**pey fan? Everything you say is reactionary, negative and childlike. Perhaps you will turn out to be right but why not have some patience and wait for that time to arrive until you throw your toys out of the pram. I wonder if you really want this to go pear shaped just so you can smugly brag "see, told you so". Grow up.

Pedant may be correct in suggesting a juditial review, however again generally this would only look at a decision made under a point of law which is not appealable to a relevent tribunal or court. If Pinnacle don't know the difference we are lucky they don't look likely to complete the deal, if they do then it's just further evidence they have been stringing us along

Matthew Le Tissier believes that the takeover of Southampton by the Pinnacle Group will go through despite its reluctance to accept a ten-point deduction imposed by the Football League. “We have had the contract from the Football League that they would like us to sign, and that is with our lawyers,” Le Tissier, who would become chairman, said. “We realise that the Football League are people that we want to work with in the future.” However, the administrator of Southampton Leisure Holdings plc continues to talk to other potential buyers with renewed urgency. The club's staff are unlikely to be paid their June wages tomorrow, while Tony Lynam, the Pinnacle front man, has explained the position to the players. “We are still confident that we can finish this deal,” Le Tissier said. from the timesonline,for all u skates the times is a newspaper..

When Fry, Pinnacle etc use the word 'appeal' they are referring to a visit to a law court which is why the league is so frightened. The league regulations on appeals are irrelevant. The league would not mind giving us an internal appeal today and they'd hand it to the Norwich chairman for the inevitable 'no'. Where Pinnacle have failed badly is in not getting on to this issue on day 1, hour 1 of the exclusivity period. Surely if they were serious about taking over but with a serious reservation over the 10 point deduction they would have looked into it straightaway. Luton/Rotherham etc are cases on the record from not very long ago. It is no good saying 'the league only told us on Wednesday' - FFS if I was investing several millions I would have been FINDING OUT about these things from the start - not waiting to be told and then reacting...

"We are not in a great position at the moment" ???? What a load of horse manure! We are enjoying a wonderful run in the Prem since winning the Championship 6 years ago, have won the FA Cup, played in Europe, and have employed the services of top top players .....

Any debt that Pompey have - £80M - is actually very low for any Premiership (remember that word?) Club.

Its all relative isnt it - depending on the assets that you have (and when you have assets such as Glen Johnson at £18 you just have to sit back and smile)

Sorry Skate but could you answer me a couple of questions :- (1) Were you in the crowd for the Blackburn game in 2000, the one where the gate was 2,731 (Yes TWO THOUSAND ...). (2) Secondly, is the rumour true that the reason the gate was so lowe (southampton word meaning "lowest of the low") was that the fishing trawlers were in port that evening and you were all queued up down there.

For the record, I hope that you dont go out of business - I would much prefer you to drop down thru all of the leagues, and THEN go out of business ;) Play Up Pompey

i am sorry but i totally disagee i want them to survive, after all very handy having a local feeder club just down the road after all

But John, at this rate they will soon be smaller than Eastleigh or Yeovil, let alone Bournemouth or Brighton .... hehe

Quite how anyone from S**thampton can pass comment about area's of Pompey is hilarious .... unless Millbrook, Shirley, Portswood, St Mary's, Nursling, St Deny's, Lordshill and the Flowers estate have recently been raised to the ground and now resemble the posh area's of Bath or York (which unfortunately is not the case hehe)

Hows the take-over going?? lol

How much is Pinnacle’s bid anyway? I thought it was £15 million, but heard that another bid for £12 million had been lodged too? Any body know – I mean how much are you worth, is it Ali Sulley Muntari or Jermain Defoe? Can’t imagine it would be Lassana Diarra. Tell you what I’m sure if you ask nicely we’d lend you the money, I mean we’ve got tones of it just lying around in the bank after selling Johnson. Who’d have thought 5 years ago that just 4 of our little team’s players would be worth almost 5 times the total value of Saints. Oh, bugger, just realised its against the rules for us to buy you, something silly about conflict of interest. Wouldn’t want to break league rules and get a points deduction now would we. Funny old game init…

I am a Pompey fan but rather than indulge in pointless bickering I'll ask you a few questions: 1. Do you honestly think you could appeal that SLH is distinct from SFC when SFC was only able to pay last months wages owing to exclusivity funds from SLH? 2. Do you think a High Court Judge is going to agree that SFC is a solvent going concern when it has again failed to pay its staffs wages? The rule was created to stop solvent clubs being taken down by insolvent parent companies. Is SFC solvent? No. The bloke banging on about Delia Smith yesterday was hilarious - Delia Smith is a chef who publishes cookbooks. Does SLH publish a cookbook? No. Does SLH have any other business tthan SFC? No. Do the league have the right to interpret this rule according to the spirit? Yes. Would the High Court accept the right of an insolvent football club to escape a deduction because of 'natural justice'? No, because natural justice is on the side of the league - you ARE bankrupt. Secondly, you have to go the court wth clean hands to claim natural justice, you are trying to use a legal manouevre to avoid getting a penalty that APPLIES to you.

There not trying to appeal, The were trying to get the right to appeal just like any other club would have done in this situation. So before you come on here pretending to have a interst get the facts right. Wait till your take over happens thats right it wont!!!!!!!!! Selling all your players in dept small ground cant make the money to cover your dud superstars eg sol campbell on over 100 grand a week. We shall see!!!!!
