Bagging a sunlounger first thing in the morning then not turning up until the afternoon is just rude IMO. Sure all nationalities do it but the Germans do it with a ruthless efficiency made famous by the holocaust.

It's definitely not an urban myth, the Germans are alot worse. When I last went to the Canaries they were actually putting their towels down the night before. Needless to say by the end of the holiday they arrived at the pool the next morning to find their towels floating in the pool and some other Krauts in their loungers.

I expect Chanrai knew the trust was never going to be a goer, now he will get the club and administrators will have halved their fees.

Just goes to show how a fan base can grow with success.

Agree about the Wilde/Crouch disaster sowing the seeds of administration but Lowe failed spectacularly trying to salvage the situation. The banks only called in the overdraft when it was clear we were nosediving into League 1. There is no excuse for the Wigley or Woodward episodes though.

Lowe obviously did some good in getting the Stadium built and though we have always brought through good players he has to take credit for the academy. However he was unsuitable as a football chairman. You cannot argue with the fact that he took over an established Premier League club and left us in administration on -10 in the 3rd tier. Some of his decisions were crazy. Hiring Steve Wigley as manager of a mid-table Prem club is probably still the most bonkers managerial decision made by anyone at the highest level ever. The Woodward/Clifford farce was without doubt completely barking mad - suicidal experimentation when we had just two seasons of parachutes to try and get back up. Then there was the Dutch disaster. Anyone who knows anything about football knew from day 1 what would happen there.

I thought the coverage was good. Even Gary Neville was complimentary.

It is ****ing crazy that Adkins is favourite to lose his job.

Well done lads, I was expecting a stuffing but they did us proud. Bring on Wigan!

I would play our best player for a start.

I can see this being embarrassing, that is a sh!t Saints team there.

That team is going to get stuffed.

I just hope we are not being used to try and push through a deal with another club.

You couldn't create a thread this size if you tried, a club your size physically couldn't do it. You just don't have the support. The rest of you post is laughable, you Skates have been turning your back on the club in their thousands since it's stopped being bank-rolled by criminals. Anyway, surely you should be more concerned about you upcoming liquidation that going on Premier League club's message boards throwing insults around?

I'm not too arsed about Redknapp, I blame Lowe way more than him for our relegation. He's a c*nt for going to pompey but with the sort of money they were throwing around it wasn't surprising.

That's only so they can make it -27 if they exit without a CVA.

To be fair we stayed in the top flight for decades by mainly signing good players from the 2nd tier.

It's the same badge, they have had a one colour version for donkey's years.

How can you say he hasn't made good signings when we havn't even kicked a ball yet this season - bizarre! We could have Sir Alex in charge this season and still go down. Adkin's record is outstanding.

That's it, I officially don't want liquidation now. Watching that shower of sh!te try and claw back a -10 deduction whilst the loan shark bleeds them dry is going to be way way more fun.

Only a complete fool would sack Adkins even if we go down. You have to wonder why he is favourite, in theory he should have one of the safest jobs in the country.

It does take the p!ss how people are brought in to salvage a debt ridden company then just rip them of for millions. My mate worked at another club during their admin and the ****ers were staying in 5 star hotels, claiming expenses all over the place. They are leaches.

Only a fool would want us to go down but I wouldn't be overly bothered if we did. We've signed the type of player that would probably hang around and do a good job in the Championship, we are financially secure and would bounce back quite easily IMO. Relegation wouldn't be the disaster it was last time.

I think you can read too much into pre-season games. We've had some shockers in the past and still gone on to have a good season.

I can't believe the skate **** is moaning about having to stick to a budget - unbelievable considering the businesses and charities that are still owed millions. Just about sums them up for me, cheating thieving scum.
