that £150,000 to Tal Ben Haim on the 31st August 2014 will be 500 season tickets worth.

Every call out to unblock those pipes sees it fall back that little bit further...

why on earth would it?

What do you want the FA to do? Punish them further? They are fan owned now don't you know.

Many of the chances are not clear cut and players like Lallana and Rodriguez need to get their feet in the right position otherwise shots lack power

Hard to keep up with the price rises at the top end, but I'm not sure Rodriguez is top end. He is great for us, turning defence into attack and being in the right place at the right time, but there is loads of room for improvement.

Not sure we ever have. Wright, Bond, Gittens in 87 is stretching things. Ruddock, Moore, Osman, Hall in 91, but not sure they were top class. Claus, Svensson and er, Williams?

In a game that has no chance of selling out, why take a chance that Yeovil might come back for extra tickets?

Martin isn't good enough at this level. The pre-mentioned long john silver has a better left peg than him. He did a decent job when called upon in the Championship, but he was still found wanting a little.

very good point. Unless of course the story in the paper wasn't true (there has been one or two flying about) and KL wasn't being entirely honest when she said it was "with great regret that we accepted Cortese' resignation".

Quality.

yep, wanting the club to grow definitely means all financial backing stops now.

...it did rain and thank god I bought that lottery ticket. If you need any further advice I'll be in my new box at SMS on Saturday.

what did you buy?

Ensure that progression is not at the expense of tradition.

Can you remind me again why bailey is disliked so much

I just don't understand how I can find a radio channel dedicated almost completely to football impossible to listen to. How do they **** it up so badly?

Probably, but as I have said on here, it's only really forum users that actually analyse what a **** cortese might have been, the common or garden fan just cares about the results, which have been great, and cortese must take his share of the praise for them. Hence no reluctance from some to sing his ****ty song.

The fella in the middle reminds me of nick frost's character in Sean of the dead, having become a zombie at the end of the movie. I wonder if the fella second from right has worked out what you do with those stick shaped items yet? The scene as a whole reminds me of one of a last minute float entries at titchfield carnival in the 1980s.

I thought he resigned. Why would we have to pay him compensation?

You wouldn't catch me singing that song during our best moments never mind now. Each to their own.

Talking of which is nick illingsworth allowed back in the ground these days? How Cortese treated him was disgusting and the point at which I could not give a toss if Cortese was our chairman or not.

And by the same accord, Le tiss group apart, i think it was behind keyboards where his biggest detractors could be found too. Fans that just go to games simply do not give a toss about all these things we discuss,they just care about seeing us win on a Saturday. Each to their own, but I like the soap opera intrinsically analysed detail of it all on here.

Strange then that there are reports of her offering him the earth to stay at SFC. If they didn't get on surely she would just look for a replacement at the first hint of trouble

Sounds to me as though Markus spent a wedge saving a loss making company, but it continued to make losses over the course of the next 12 months, so when given the task of running the company KL did what any owner would do and reduced staff overheads. The time frame is a little unclear from that text, so possibly everything was KLs fault, but possibly it was just a company that could. Not be turned around. Maybe it needed Cortese in charge, but then again wasn't he on the Mali board up until October last year?
