CB Fry

Was it f**k. Simply delusional.

Didn't we have the right to appeal about eight weeks ago. Everyone's got a right to appeal anything.

Looks that way, don't it. Maybe we should join up with Ferrari and Brawn and start up our own competition and make our own little rules up.

I still can't see how on earth the FL have treated us unfairly. We had the lamest "cheat" on a system I have ever seen, it was pathetic when Fry/Lowe/Wilde announced it on day one. They were never, ever going to get away with it. And the FL chucked it in the bin where it belonged. Ten point deduction, and move on.

I don't need lessons in "knowing what I am talking about" from the likes of you. Last time I looked speeding fines weren't quite the same as a private members club setting and agreeing rules between themselves. The ten points is never ever going to be recinded. Get your head round that.

What are you talking about. Do you think a court in the land is going to waste time with our shi**y little winge about being done by the same rule that has been served on about twelve other clubs before us in the last five years? Football League to Saints - if you don't like it, find another league to play in. P*ss off. If I was the FL that's precisely what I'd be saying. Southampton Football Club have no "legal right" to play in the Football League, you know.

When did he "refuse to kowtow to Lowe"? He applied for, but didn't get the manager's job, which went to George Burley. Wise then left because he didn't get the job. Not sure how applying for a job to someone involves "not kow towing" to them. Wise would have taken the Saints job like a shot if offered. It wasn't, he left. And of course, Keegan and Wise got on just great at their last job together, didn't they?

I'm surprised there aren't more people on this forum saying this. It will be an absolute scandal if this takeover is being held up by the ten point thing because the 10 point deduction was part of the deal 21 days ago, it was part of the deal 80 frigging days ago. You buy SFC, you buy a club on -10 next season. Whining about it now is a co*king joke. If Pinnacle genuinely thought the League would ever recind the 10 point deduction then maybe they aren't the switched on saviours we thought they were and are just as dopey as some of our previous "saviours". The ten points is the ten points is the ten points. It isn't going away. Swallow it Pinnacle and stop being such a buch of arses [if, of course that is the issue. If it isn't, just sort it out anyway, you've had three weeks and admitted that due diligence was already complete before the 21 days started]

If you are basing your argument on comparing the managerial credentials of Jan Poortvilet with Lawrie McMenemy then god help us all. Jan the man had a more than a decade - TWELVE YEARS - of acheiving nothing at all with nothing clubs in a nothing league before he was appointed Saints manager. Twelve years after Lawrie's first professional job at Doncaster he had a medium sized city club challenging for the League title in one of the biggest leagues in Europe. And he'd won the FA cup. Oh, and he'd just signed the European Footballer of the Year as well.

Sorry, this is garbage. I must have missed that decade Roy Keane spent failing season after season at fourth rate dutch semi pro football clubs before Sunderland took him on. It doesn't always work but taking a punt on a big name ex player (be it Keane, Klinsman, Shearer, Southgate or John Barnes) is not the same thing as giving a job to someone with a track record of utter mediocrity already behind them. Giving a job to a proven utter failure is not the same as giving somone their first job.

For anyone who hasn't yet noticed, we are no longer on BBC teletext. Soul destroying when I had a flick through earlier. We are officially relegated now.

I can take it further!! Equally I didn't start changing my electricity/gas/water etc over until I had moved in. You don't have to sort out every single tiny contract etc before you complete and announce this kind of deal.

Yes, fair enough. But when I bought my house I told most people I know I had bought it on the day my offer was accepted. What is odd is not knowing who the main man is, and it was reported week or so ago that due diligence had already been completed. But that said, they said 21 days and 21 days it will surely be.

So you are campaigning to lower the wages of the armed forces then? Firemen get a decent wage, and there are queues round the block for people who want to be firemen, so their "pittance" is hardly putting people off. If firemen don't like it, get another job because they are easily replaceable.

TDD is in HM Armed Forces, so slightly dumb question. £35k to drive a tube train by the way. This is why Labour's time has run out and the Tories need to smash these unions and their pie in the sky greed.

....which is why Matthew Le Tissier should not be anywhere near the Saints manager's chair. Which is the point I'm making.

I'm still waiting for a pundit that has made a decent manager. O'Neill, Atkinson, Pleat etc etc are managers doing punditry. So see if you can name a pundit who has made a career of being a manager, there must be one somewhere.

You are making the most p*ss weak point I think I have yet seen on this internet forum. Martin O'Neill was and is an excellent football manager. Unless you are advocating Alan Hansen as our next manager I have no idea what point you are trying to make.

Pretty sure Martin O'Neill had done a teeny bit of football management before he did the World Cup gig for the BBC in 2006.

Be fair, I do believe Dr David Starkey guest edited that particular edition of Frattonise.

Did Watford people break a strike in Luton, or was it the other way round? After all they call each other scum as well

Who really gives a flying about any of this. At the end of the day you're a Pompey mong obsessively posting on a Southampton Football Club messageboard. That very fact makes Southampton the winner every time. Us lot couldn't give two sh*ts about your toilet of a city, but have a little pat on the head for all the little bits of research you've done.

ROFL LOL and all the other things you young scamps say. I take it this is some kind of campaign on bebo as well? :smt026:smt082:chain::smt025:gib::smt111:smt028:smt117

Anyone over the age of nineteen still wearing Saints colours to the match is, in my opinion, a bit "special". I'd prefer it if no adults were at the game wearing replica shirts. I'd rather we didn't take our uniform guidelines from those retards in the north east.

Coventry aren't quite the free-spending everything-wonderful-for-the-fans glory machine you were making them out to be about a year ago. And lets not ignore the fact that despite spending years ranting on about the evils of money/evil businessmen in the game blah blah blah rant rant rant you go all gooey over a bunch of venture capitalists. Just give it a rest you swivel eyed idiot.
