The Holding company owner of Southampton Football Club is in Administration. the club is broke and floundering.
Basically Saints need a buyer before the end of the season of it's curtains.
So:
FOR URGENT SALE
One historic football club
New Stadium with excellent facilities and transport infrastructure
Some good young promising players
lost one game in the last 7 under new coach
I'll start the bidding at NZ$100
Hope the Administrators see this and ring me.
Come on rich stars and oil magnates ...grab it while you can and get us back in the Prem.

hee hee beating Man U 4.2 with Kevin Keagan having a brilliant overhead scissor kick rocket into the net only to be disallowed for another player off side... brilliant.
I have know idea is those guys have the dosh to put a deal together.. i think it's ripe for over seas or a pop star....
so is your bid $120?

This one was always my favourite:
October 26th, 1996: Southampton 6 (SIX!) - ManUre 3
Those mighty legends Berkovic and Ostenstad both get a brace in the same game against the 'mighty' (snigger) Manure.
Matt Le Tissier makes the Man U defence look like fools:

I hope all of you south coasters get to St Mary's in a couple of hours to fill that ground and show the admin guys that this club deserves to be saved.
Be in that number!!!!! Come on Saints.
I wonder what the book value of the club is and how much it's really could be bought for? If someone had a bit to spare and could afford a couple of really good players too.. this bargain club could go place's.

SOS SOS Save our Saints.
The loss to Charlton at the bottom must surely mean curtains for the club... what a nightmare.

I see there have been 19 enquiries and two serious bids. I hadn;t heard about Keagan. He would get us back up.. no point in investing if he thought he could get them up. He would want full control ?
PS Edit... I've been in NZ since I was 16 but the thought of the club going out of the champs and going bust hurts to the core of my Southampton heart more so than if the All Blacks couldn't qualify for the World Cup.

Only been to the Dell (which is now a housing estate!) once, and fortunately got to see Matt The Tissier in his prime. I remember he was just about to take a free kick about 40 yards away from the goal. My view was side on to it and it looked a huge distance. I thought the goalie would have time for a cup of tea before having to make a save from a direct shot. But Matt smacked a belter over the wall and it crashed against the post and out before the keeper could move- couldn't believe a ball could travel so fast!

Ron Davies ,Frank Worthington ,Shilton , Le Tisier, Channon,Osgood and not least Bobby Stokes [ i think he won a car for scoring the first goal in that final ?] You could go on and on ,all great players ,was,nt the dell the first to have flood lights ?

Originally posted by phil3000Saints have a long heritage. I thought White Hart Lane had the first lights? I was a programme lad several times as a kid and recall being alone on the sideline one afternoon (early for an evening game) I lay flat on my back on the hallowed turf soaking up the sun and imagining the Milton Roar .. til the groundsman very nicely asked to move as he rolled the sideline. A one armed lift operator from Cunard line ( a neighbour) took me to games as my dad was always on nights.. Awesome.
