won't it be SLH that is liquidated? Won't liquidation mean that all the individual elements on the balance sheet will be sold off seperately, the land, the stadium, the training ground, the club...oh wait a minute does that not mean that someone could then buy one or two of the seperate elements and then bobs your unkle you have yourself a football club, perhaps with the need to rent a training ground or a stadium.

he didn't though and cried for a move to Celtic as I recall.

the more players you sell the less wages there are to pay. Getting rid of Rasiak and Saga's wages would make all the difference. As I said at the end of the season Rasiaks £15k a week for 16 weeks before leaving on the last day of the window for nothing is what will hurt us most.

does he play put wide?

Forecast James Lancashire Thomas Mills Gobern Schneiderlin Gillett Lallana McClaggon Paterson I fear for us. There is not a single wide midfielder at the club that I rate

very dissapointed to see him go and only the fact that I knew he had to leave for both the club and his own career has lessoned the blow from the Bridge-like nightmare. I think I am more dissapointed at the reaction of the `supporters' on here than anything else. 22 year old Surman has given everything over the last few seasons and all people can point to is a miss against QPR. Ok so his form came and went but that happens with young players. Mark my words he will be replaced by a much much worse player and in 12 months time you will look back and yearn for the likes of Surman who have terrific first touches and the ability to play in tight spaces.

reminds of the loyalty Claus showed us - no one made a better offer. Having said that I respect the way he has handled the situation and I hope he can get us winning games if we get the chance.

rubbish, there are so many managers and ex players out of work not to mention coaches and even managers in work that would jump at the chance of the Saints job. A new owner brings new hope. Whether they turn out to be good is a different story.

his contract runs out today and what do you know he is going to sign for West Ham. My guess is that this deal has been on the cards for a while and he hasn't been holding on for a contract from Southampton he has just been keeping this deal to himself. Best of luck to the guy, he has earned the move IMO.

the 1/2 pence piece was removed from circulation a long time ago

its funny that despite him being close to being CCC keeper of the year we seriously thought that he'd be happy to hang around all summer waiting for a new League 1 lower pay contract to appear when quite clearly he could get himself even more money on his bosman. Obviously dissapointed. I've backed him since day one and it seriously weakens the side. I wonder how good Forecast is?

possibly a country situated between French Guiana and Guyana? Didn't think we owned so much land, no wonder these property developers have been circling.

David Pleat was at SMS on a regular basis towards the end of the season

strong, good in the air, decent first touch and excellent work rate. That will do for me, and if we can get the right pacey striker to play alongside him then we will do fine.

the drop down in division is goign to help him shine next season and perhaps the likes of Lancashire can cope at that level as well. I remember Mills and Monk both having to drop down a division and they have both become decent players and more than coped when they moved back up a level. James Lancashire Thomas Mills might do OK next season.

Forrest had it on their OS and it was widely discussed on here this morning.

"we will all be keeping a close eye on his progress' sounds like code for there are add ons to the deal. Forrest appear to be going places (spending big bucks anyway) so that can only help us.

there's 6 or 7 strikers now at Forrest so he's going to have to work hard to get a shirt. That might be just what he needs to turn him from a talented player into a top quality player

so is the club worth £1m less now to the buyers or has this deal been done and dusted for yonks?

if the PInnacle deal goes through I assume the Surman deal will still go through though? I have to laugh at those on here that slate Surman right left and centre yet he is apparently a hairs wisker from joining a premiership side.

interesting that we would allow Molyneux to go out on a trial despite him being under contract. I still don't know why he was signed when Mills looked more than capable and quite clearly would improve with more games under his belt. Has Mills signed a new deal yet?

if cleaning the slate means getting rid of talented young players that have yet to reach their peak and replacing them with journeymen ****e then I'll give that tactic a miss thanks.

as much as I chastised him last season for only making 5 tackles in total I still can see the potential in him and would like him to stay. People have to remember his age before writing him off. I have to laugh at all those that think he would be better at a higher level. Quality players will shine more in the lower league not less - you have MORE time not less the lower you go down the leagues.

I see Pearson has taken my advice and signed N'Guessen from Lincoln. Shame, just what we needed IMO. Still we have Holmes, Sigh.

what's this obsession with having Matt at the helm?
