Two Parties Keen On Buying Southampton FC
Administrator Mark Fry speaking at the Press Conference yesterday regarding the points deduction said he was in serious discussion and going through the Due Diligence stage with one very keen suitor wanting to buy the Club. He also stated that there was another party looking to go through due diligence.
It has been rumoured since day one that Saints fan Anthony Salz is actively involved in his role as Vice Chairman of Rothschild to find a buyer.
Salz was networked into the Club by Leon Crouch and Mary Corbett late last season. Before they where all disgracefully turfed out by the incompetent scumbags Lowe and Wilde. Like i said its thought Salz could be acting for clients and may or may not be part of the consortium.
There has been no indication whether those wanting to buy the Club will also buy the Stadium.
There is still the option of the Council doing this for a knockdown £10million takeway.
Lease back to the club and earn some investment for Sotonians.
Aviva who own the Stadium could also simply just carry on with present arrangements as it was Barclays who pulled the overdraft plug.

i've got nothing against Southampton, they're a former Premiership team that fell to League One after dropping out and getting a new stadium...and going bust
er...same as us but a slightly different timing
if people dislike them because a former player cheered for them when they stayed up on the telly...that's pretty feeble

Not new news. It was reported at the start of the month that they might not be able to reach the end of the season without a buyer - see this report from the Daily Telegraph, dated 2nd April. The current 8-day deadline appears to be a slight extension on that, but with no more gate money to come the club must now be in serious jeopardy - and they may not be the only ones.
If they do manage to last out, their next hurdle might be the Football League asking for assurance that they will be able to carry out next season's fixtures and, possibly, asking for a bond to ensure that they do. An administrator is unlikely to pay that, so they really are faced with a rush to safeguard their future. Without the assurance and the bond, it is likely that they would be kicked out of the league.

He was being paid to report on the game not to be a fan. If he wanted to cheer and shout he should have been at the game. It was hard enough having the realisation that City were actually going down without him screaming and shouting.
I wouldnt wish any club out of business and hope they do get a buyer, but I will happily take some satisfaction from them being relegated.
i had no problems with him cheering and shouting his team on he is a saints fan afterall, we were relegated because we were consistently rubbish but to have a pop at a fan of another club because they escaped relegation at our expense just seems bitter to me, BUT i am quite pleased that we will be swapping places with them next season
I had no problem with Southampton escaping relegation, but whilst I was grieving I didnt need some big nosed twat jumping up and down celebrating.
:icon_bigg we have the last laugh now :icon_wink
We won't if we come back down and they go up, I can see this going on a while :icon_bigg
