I'm dissapointed we didn't get Adomah (briostol City) and Dawson (Leyton Oreient) on frees, and also that Reading tied Antonio up on another year contract as was their right, but very pleased with the Dickson signing and hopeful that Richardson will be an improvement on Semi. I will only be worried if we haven't signed a central midfielder by the end of the window. 6 weeks is a long time. Beyond that the loan market helped us greatly last season and it will do so again. Challenging for the title might help attract an event better class of player as well, with perhaps a premiership youngster at a stretch.

Crowds will go up, that much is obvious but who's to say that total average crowds would have been bigger if we had got more ST holders? Unless the stadium is sold out ever game its not a case of swapping a season ticket holder for a buyer of 23 individual games. A season ticket holder that reverts to paying every week will go to far less games, so average attendances actually go down if season ticket holders don't renew. As I said attendance will rise because of us winning but IMO attendances would have risen more with a bigger ST holder base and total income may well have been higher despite the lower seat price for ST holders. We will never know.

Personally I'd prefer to see the best player wear the shirt. There is no room for sentiment. If Martin is better then he will get the shirt.

Man City trusted him enough to play him in their fist team. I would expect if he is loaned out it would be to a CCC side at least.

he can't just offer 1p in the pound and expect creditors to accept it. They can just say no thanks and the debt will still be there.

sounds bad, but typical of the signings made by the Dutch guys - admitedly with next to no funds.

If Bart is off and Forecast is not the answer (does anyone really know?) then O'Brien from the skates might be an option.

if you come out or admin without a cva agreed does that allow you to simply pay 5p in the pound and all creditors just have to accept it? I'd of thought creditors could refuse any offer and the consequence would be for PFC to be liquidated instead? - but then again I am not clued up on these things. Enlighten me chaps.

he's what he has heard so far. Judge for yourself. Personally I'm more than happy to read any Saints transfer rumour and then decide how plausable they are. looking at RB, CM, wide cover, 4th striker Want Stock - fee agreed at £1m, may take a couple of weeks to complete (6th July) Want Hendrie - ? Trundle possible - in talks Want Coid - talks broken down Fee agreed for jackson - in talks Schneiderlin/Shelvery sale/loan swap - ? Aliadier wanted £22k a week Calderon wanted to be top earner Training ground talk of Steven Caldwell - had offers from Preston/Boro

I'd piggyback Holmes up there today if it meant getting the right player back. Danny N'Guessen for starters.

its not a delay, they are just using all the time made available to them by the law.

no shortage of information coming out of the club, they are just very selective as to what information they choose to release. Being a privately owned company has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on not telling people payments plans would nto be available until the very last minute.

gates are bound to rise, for me the question will always be would they have risen more if the club had offered paymet plans and more flexible selling, half season tickets and less sales taxes.

you'd think he would be lookign for cheaper players, but in fact he wants them off the wage bill and filling the 20 slots so he can bring in better and higher paid players. That's what the 4p in the £1 a year deal allows them to do - pay significant wages in the Championship rather than creditors more money. For me thats whats wrong with this CVA agreement. It is all about the long term success of the club rather than ensuring creditors get a decent deal. Why not a £5m wage bill that sees the team just about survive in the league, and an extra few pence in the pound, rather than a £13m wage bill and the poxy 4p they are getting?

I wonder if the Football League has a rule in place to prevent them selling/releasing a player that would take them below this 20 player threshold. Probably against European freedom of movement rules I guess.

he might be joining Blackpool then?

aren't you much more susceptical to the same injury as well?

funny name for a plane

so are you saying the higher pricing will bring in less then?

a mailer to every person on the databse would have cost peanuts, as would an loose insert into the daily echo.

considering the improvement to the side and the much, much, much higher expecation levels for the team, would you not have expected a significant rise in ST sales this year if the price, availability and method were the same as last summer?

from a business point of view, he is earning his own company a small fortune and a three month delay is not going to hurt one iota. A slight conflict of interest perhaps?

I thought Ben Haim had walked on a free due to a relegation release clause, but it appears he has decided to stay and get paid £38k each any every week until he finds a Premiership club willing to match his wage (or negotiate a deal with the skates so they pay a share). That has got to hurt. June, July and potentially August costing them near enough half a million. Ouch.

to be fair all their costs are paid for by the US teams - according to Android.

Not just releasing them, they are paying these players contracts up early (in full or near enough in full). For a club in admin this seems a disgusting waste of funds that could go towards paying off creditors. Yes they would have to pay them anyway, but by paying them off they will need to then spend more money paying their replacements. Contrast this with us playing just about anyone big enough to fill a shirt in our relegation season.
