Fans have been quick to have their say on Fialka and his Southampton bid.

The talkboards have been buzzing with our story after the Southern Daily Echo picked up on our exclusive story and posted it on their site.

Here's a selection from the fans:

Fry has clearly done his own homework and cleared Pinnacle's group - he would never have allowed them the period of exclusivity if they didn't prove they had the funds and Le Tissier would not have associated with them either if he didn't think they were serious contenders.

A third of the club. That would be worth what in your eyes Mr Fialka? £50,000? Perhaps you should buy Salisbury - it's only £1.
-John Gillham

This deal will go to the wire because the more chance banks have of losing their money completely; the more chance it will be sold cheaper.
-Snooky

Fialka is just trying to save face within his Jewish community by making absurd statements that the club will be deducted 15 points and 10 points.
-Patrick80s

Go away Fialka. Your lot have already proved themselves time-wasters.

If it's up in the air with only 2 days to resolve it, after having had 6 weeks, it's never going to happen.

I think I'd now prefer one of the other 2. However, I don't care who owns the club, I just don't want it to fold.
