Paul Spector 0 Posted April 24, 2009 I cannot find a quote to that effect in that article ?!?Do not see how it would be relevant anyway - us and Soton are in totally different situations, and obviously the vultures will be sniffing around them at the moment.

Beauseant 0 Posted April 24, 2009 The fact that someone is prepared to buy an insolvent club in administration for peanuts hardly has a bearing on NCFC, unless, of course, you adhere to Wiz''s masterplan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Camuldonum 0 Posted April 24, 2009 The most recent news from the Administrators is that two serious contenders (which I think are both consortiums) are going through the club books - the Administrator is looking for around £15-17m but of course any buyer will have to sort out the debt, estimated at around £30m, on top of that and hope to do a deal with Barclays/Aviva to wipe some of it off.

rjwc22 0 Posted April 24, 2009 There is no reason to believe that the people interested in saving Saints are ''general football'' investors rather than Southampton based businesmeen. As such the fact that SFC might receive new investment in this way has no bearing on whether NCFC could. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjwc22 0 Posted April 24, 2009 Why would the administrator care about the club????They are an independently appointed company whose only interest is in trying to get as many of the creditors paid as much of the money they are owed as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
