70's Mike

not sure if i understand who is our equivalent to Tom Brady ?

Maybe the question should have been swapping Rupert for Milan ?

The Administrator would love it , a bidding war between , Lowe v Wilde v Crouch v Fullthorpe.

Legally all correct the problem is the penalties imposed by the FA

WE would avoid 10 points and get another 20 on top. the fa rules are NOW very strict , they were changed , i believe, because both Leicester and Chelsea manipulate the previous rules

not sure about Scooby and Sundance

Special offers are available for Tyro and Eastleigh Mini Soccer teams. I manage an under 14 side, every year since under 10 we have taken at least 12 boys to a game for a kid ( i say we , i organised it but let other dads take them because i already have my ST). When we asked yesterday about trying to do it for a game nearer to Xmas , we only had 3 potentials. The average person in the city , including 13/14 year olds, believe, whether its true or not, that we are c*ap and have no chance of winning any games. I really fear for the club because unless we start winning , even if there are special offers, imo we are not going to get people to come to SMS , irrespective of cost

All a vicious circle We win a few games, crowd starts to rise slowly In january because we have won a few , we are offered £2m for Adam L We accept We start losing again Crowd drops , £2m is used to shore up working capital , nothing for new players.

Was Richard Chorley on ? never known him so quiet about Saints Boardroom

i was one of the 14000 and the side was given support during the game and posting negative comments on here , helps me to give that support between 3pm and 5pm.

Apathy Rules Ok can not be bother to read it

A fair summary. Problem could be getting kids to go, ps3 or x-box is better fun

so why are they not playing a youth team

Exactly , ruperts boys like to see it as a boycott because they can then blame the fans BUT IT IS APATHY, because if we were winning the crowds would go back above 20k.

i wonder who Guy has left his shares to in his will ?

Sounds like another "i am a better fan than you" , post. I was one of the 14k yesterday , were you ? I do not entirely blame the manager as others have said but the idiot who appointed him, the last few weeks has shown how Jan fails to understand CCC football but even more worrying appears to be his inabilty to get players to perform the roles he wanted, DMG and BWP yesterday basically played where they wanted and how they wanted. People keep trotting out he have got no money , what else could we do. Well check out the finances of most CCC teams and guess what they have no money either but they are not playing a youth team. I actually feel sorry for the younger players because imo we will be harming their future development by over playing them. In addition many , including the club, have built them up to be world beaters whereas the facts are they were what was left of our youth set up , the good players had already gone. I will support this club , and go to every home game until i die BUT ALL of ourv problems stem from Lowes and Askham's mis mangement in 1997 when they built a club on sand with an inadequate capital base.

That decision in late 96 early 97 has led us to where we are today. IMO no football club can run with multple shareholders, not only is the playing of youth an experiment waiting to fail, the biggest mistake was believing that you can run a football club like A PLC . The PLC has always been built on sand with no adequate capital base, we were funded by Sky money without any backup. Even in 2003 there were many who wanted to see the back of Lowe because of his attitude to the "customer" he and super Guy just never understood football supporters

Sterile Poor Tactics

not sure what side of the fence

Nick , there is a middle ground we have gone from one extreme to the other in the 3 months since May

he was out bid by Pace who offered a PS3 ,we then withdrew because he are short of money

i thought i saw him watching an under 13 game last week at Warsash rec

none just make excuses why i cannot go to family do's. i just get fed up when people tell me things have been worse , because i cannot remember any time where i felt more worried about this clubs future

calm down sonny

have you been sniffing your user name great players ?
