Cork has started well. Bobbly penalty area.

pretty nervous.

gap widened on West Ham, perfect results at other end too. Even Bristol City came from behind to grab a point to **** the skates up

1-5 AUstin hatrick

Pearce **** up 1-4

skates getting caught on the break by Burnley. 6 mins of injury time.

the 70% increase in turnover will include the £12m AOC transfer fee, take that out of the equation and our wages to turnover ratio is going to be over 100% for 2011/12. But turnover DOES include player sales so it will be reduced in the next set of accounts. Removing the debt is what matters most. Huge sigh of releif from me. Blimey what an amazing three years we've had.

I'm pretty sure there were people on here suggesting we were breaking even or there abouts. Were we ****. Our wage bill was huge (Lallana doesn't sign a 5 year deal for buttons when he had offers from the Premiership) and despite the decent crowds you can't cover top end Championship wages whilst in League 1 (you can't in the Championship). Into the Championship and players like Cork and Sharpe will have expanded (£1m each a year maybe??) that wage bill considerably. Loses next year anyone? Jesus these Liebherrs have been brave. Thankfully it is paying off, but even they can't of expected us to go through the league. These kind of losses are exactly the reason why I've been asking questions. But I needn't have bothered as all my concerns have been washed away with the news of the debt being turned into equity. Brilliant news and fair play to those people on here telling me that the Liebherrs would do just that. You were spot on.

the alex is open from 10

I wonder if many of the companies that form the CVA will vote against on principal seeing as they will get almost nothing. For example a £10k debt was reduced to £2k and if that's reduced down to £400 (20%) you are starting to get down amounts that people will let go on principal. I think many won't have been fully aware how long it would take to start seeing any money and how easily PFC could squirm out of paying it full stop.

the chocolate brown numbers suit me

no it suggests we have sold a fraction over 5000 tickets, with 150 available tomorrow morning then an extra 500 making the 5817 tickets as previously stated. "Final allocation club will receive" means no chance of increasing it. Pity.

absolutely. This promotion is along way from being secured. Exciting!

0-2 whu

They might own it, but the fans are a massive part of the business, I mean club. I would guess that they will depart long before many of us stop supporting the club, so fans ought to ask questions about the amount of debt we are carrying, whether that will written off, be part of a selling price or included as a debt to be serviced by the new owners if that should happen. The skates has been ridiculed on the takeover thread for not asking questions about previous owners and the way they spent beyond its income, but you appear to suggesting they were right for not saying anything as it had nothing to do with them.

For me Nick Holmes should be included ahead of KK and Shilts

I've got £25e/w on Lambert being top championship goalscorer at 22-1. Lovely.

I too couldn't stand it, but having turned it back on the skates it actually feels good singing it and helps dissolve the nightmare

After what has happened in the past, Saints fans are fully justified in asking serious questions about our finance. No matter how rosy things appear situations can quickly change.

we don't know what his salary is because the last set of accounts only showed 6 months of his wages so we are not sure if it is £600,000 or £1.2m

he was absolutely woeful, slow, lazy, didn't track runners, didn't get forward. Looked old and weak. Only Habib Beye looked worse. Diouf looked a very good player, thankfully he spent too much time argueing with the ref.

wage permitting I'd like to see Craig Gordon from Sunderland come in and really challenge Kelvin for a place.

hate leaving before the end, but on the odd occasion I have tried to time my walk down the steps to coinside with the final whistle. It takes ****ing ages to get out if you are sat at the back.

behave, its like getting blood out of a stone. Ask any question you like and he'll say, its not about individuals/opposition/manager/Ricky/decisions and then get back to his one game at a time line. I don't even think he believes in what he is saying its just become his defacto response. Could be worse, he could whine like Clot

Can't stand Adkins interview style, he just puts a PR front on and doesn't really say what he really feels at all. I think he has only done so once and that was when he was fuming after a defeat, donny away perhaps, and in it you got to see the real Nigel. To be honest I get close to switching off whenever he comes on the radio. The one game at a time line is so ******* boring. But hey, who cares? It's what the team does that matters and whatever he says to them away from the microphone it is working. So carry on.
