3 people have texted me saying this from the Premier seats.
They reckon he is going round shaking everyones hands and telling them this.


I dont know what to think, I hope its True, BUT DOES IT REALLY HAPPEN TO US.

Apparently Ridsdale looks like he has won the pools.

I STILL HAVE MY DOUBTS.

Ridsdale brought him to the players dressing room after the game and they were shouting get your money out.


Might be in the minority here, but as far as I'm concerned Mr Steele can f**k off. He's already gone to the press moaning about us! Clearly thinks he's something special.
Plus, if he comes in, Ridsdale will still be here, won't he?

I hope Borley and some of the other directors can stop the deal going through, and that we can wait for the Malaysians.

If the man has any brains, which he must have to have made millions, then he surely wont keep PR on, once he has seen how our club has been run.

AND, he's only worth £200m apparently. He's going to have a lot (most?) of that tied up in his other businesses isn't he? The Malaysians have BILLIONS.

wether it be malaysians or ben steele i think pr's now on borrowed time as the malaysians would want him out after all his lies and deceit over the tax and ben dident amass his fortune by being taken in by people like the riddler.
I think pr is probably arrogant enough to think he's playing ben steele along but in reality ben is probably using him to get into the club then bye bye peter.

I will say I like his attitude and he doesn't mess around! he's keen!!

If Ben Steele wants to run the club as a business that pays for itself, how could he keep Ridsdale on as chairman??

Re: BEN STEELE IS IN THE PREMIER LOUNGE TELLING EVERYONE

Sat Jan 23, 2010 7:31 pm

He'd be mad to pay anywhere near the 40 millions we have heard banded about, we got almost that as debt on top of it.
If he gets it I hope he gets it for a song and can then sort the debt out.

If Steele nips in at the last minute to take the club from the Malaysians, the they have only themselves to blame. They have enough money to buy the club 10 times over but still delay.

Maybe Ridsdale is using Steele to flush out the Yanks/Malaysians, who knows??

I'm not sure how I feel, I suppose I have fallen for the BILLIONAIRES idea with OUR club, I just don't see anything to be to happy with a guy who's buying us then will have to seek other investment?

Surely if it's a simple idea...why would PR/BORLEY/GUY sell to a millionaire if a Billionaire was REALLY interested?!

We'll see.... I fell for the dream of a billionaire owning us!!!

Hmm, still major doubts.

If someone is going to meet him, can they ask him why he tells fans to google him, given the paucity of page hits other than related to us and Southampton?

The problem we have is we need rid of the Ridsdale devil... but not at the expense of getting a worse version.

He's made millions in a short(ish) space of time. Are we another money-making machine for him ? Has he got a business plan for OUR club that will give us success and make him money ? Will he invest and sell at a profit later ?

Does anyone know this guys motives ? Is he gonna be better than PMG ?

If he gets Ridsdale (and the other leeches) to go and sorts out our finances, I'm happy.

I don't mind that he "only" has £200m since at the moment we need someone to sort out our finances, NOT to spend more and get us into more mess.

I agree with you. We need finances sorted ASAP. Then going forward we need a sensible plan. I had never heard of this guy before , so I worry he may be another leech is my worry. I am not in a position to know what plans anyone has for OUR club , so I'm just worrying here instead. But I guess you're saying "something gotta change" and on that I agree !

Saw him in there today... Was really chuffed at the final whistle and appeared to enjoy the atmosphere as well

didn't here anything about any deals being concluded today though

I cant see it happening this week, but thats what he has been saying to everyone, I just cant see it, Really hope I am wrong. It would be great though to finally have a new owner.

I hope if it is true, that he doesn't sell my car in the car park when I'm in my seat ?? :lol: :lol:
