CRAIG DAVID TO HELP?

Found this at the Sun Online:

CRAIG DAVID has emerged as a shock contender to save Southampton from going out of business.
The 27-year-old pop star is a huge Saints fan and has followed their rise and fall since he was a boy.

He has expressed his shock at seeing the club he supports formally put up for sale after its parent company called in administrators to rescue the Championship strugglers.

Half a dozen parties have shown an interest in trying to prevent the South Coast side from folding.

And now R&B singer-songwriter David has vowed to lend his support to the cause, calling on serious backers to ‘fill me in’.

The ‘Born To Do It’ star said: “I’ve been a big Saints supporter since I was five and like most kids dreamed of one day running out of the tunnel at the old Dell in red and white stripes!

"The club is too important to me and the people of Southampton in general to be in this kind of mess, so it’s vital that we all do what we can to help.

"I’m currently on tour in Japan otherwise I’d definitely be showing my support on the terraces at St Mary's tomorrow for the Charlton game.

"But I am happy to help out in any way I can and if anybody is thinking of starting a campaign or a consortium to save the club, count me in and get in touch!”

Pity its the Sun....

If he can help I really don't care where the news comes from

Seems from this that a year ago he was worth 10 million, I wonder how much he might be willing to invest..........and any idea how much we need??

Perhaps David Frost could help? According to Wikipedia.....

After having been in television for 40 years, Frost is worth £20 million. This valuation includes the assets of his main British company and subsidiaries, plus homes in London and the country.

Didn't david frost want to buy saints a few years ago and got knocked back by the idiot lowe and co

I would imagine something near to £10million could do it.

i honestly think that if you waved £1m in front of the recievers and took the 30m debt on then they would snap your hand off

also heard that norwich union are willing to talk to possible investors about cutting this debt

Hardly a surprise though as they would lose a lot more if the club was allowed to fold.
