Excluding, possibly, the top and bottom options, I've ranked the poll in likely to least likely option - based on the press and general opinion on here.

You may see it as silly, that's you're right Stu; but you've made the point so many times that I suspect it has become a bit of an obsession...but I will try to fill in some facts for you. When we started the Saints Trust we had several ambitions, one of which was the possibility of having a fan on the board. We thought that would be at least 3-4 years down the line as there other more pressing matters to address on behalf of our members (despite comments to the contrary we never pretended to represent the whole fan base - we were careful to always state we represented our members). However, SLH board pushed aggressively to move the idea forward more quickly. IMHO this issue clouded the Trust's judgement, led to a breakdown in the board and we lost direction. But that's the past. In terms of the future, it would be nice to have a fans forum but you will still find certain fans wanting to take a leading role in its formation and development; nothing wrong with that; somebody has to step forward; but unless more people show an interest in getting involved you will see the same faces 'representing' fans. So, unless you want to invest your own personal time in these initiatives Stu...see what I mean? You can't have it both ways. Personally I think the way forward is for the new board to ask fans to apply for a non-Exec position; no obligation to appoint if the calibre is not good enough; but if someone can demonstrate a real love for the club combined with solid commercial/marketing/financial/voluntary experience then why not? MLT is all the fan we need on the board, thanks.

It's free parking at St Luke's, Oxford. Oh, wait a minute, that's private.

I'd hope for a clean sweep but I wouldn't be slashing my wrists or baying for the new board's blood if they wanted to give Wotte a year either. It's their money, their club, their choice. I'll just be grateful that the club is there at all, for a while at least.

Aldi pay £9/hr. Should see you through the summer ok.

Watched various members of the public having a crack at this, on stage, at the O2 gig earlier this year. Some of them were eerily good. Some were hilariously bad though.

Is that "Slagging off"? He wasn't the only person wishing that Matt wouldn't get involved in the blame game just after the sh*t hit the fan but I've never EVER met a fan who doesn't love MLT.

TBF to NC (as admin, I'm allowed) the comment about Lowe/Le Tiss was made long before Matty was attached to any bids, and at a time when all of the ex-directors were behaving like spoiled kids.

TBH, I think you can. I just don't know how you have to do it. Try double-clicking in the frame around the thread title on the forum page. That's what I have to do.

Guys. Are you mental? Denzil Registered User

No, catchy surname though. His signature must be small.

You have to wait until they're ripe, Pancake.

I hear that a lot. Especially with that level of sarcasm attached to it

Alex Gaydamak agreed the sale of PFC just before we got this news. That's all I'm saying.

I did it and thought, "Who the **** is Johnny Bognor"?

I cannot believe they're running a TV ad campaign on this with over 6 months until release. Madness.

Not really a biggie, is it? Who cares what the OS looks like, at least they don't charge a fiver to use it!

Break even levels won't include a mortgage though, will they?

Yes, you're right of course. I'm just losing years as I get older.

Chickens not counted. They submitted an entry for 2009 and about-turned quite quickly when they were told they couldn't just buy the McLaren chassis and engine. I'm not sure enough has changed as AM/Prodrive have actually shed staff and reduced in size/wealth since. The only thing that points to a possible entry is their full withdrawal from WRC.
