Doesn't mean anything, if they were being sold they would still take part in training.

Nonsense, I don't buy the Mail but you can tell from what's on their website they often print stories about scroungers of all colours. They are right wing, they don't like immigration, scroungers or government's who waste money.

Probably because the UK would be more ****ed than anyone else if the banks collapsed - because of Brown.

That basically says that black absorbs more heat, which is what we all know anyway. That Chimney effect is interesting though I wondered why the Bedouins wore black.

Seems a pretty thorough article, exactly which parts are not true?

Kit looks cool, better than the home one IMO.

So in the week where HRMC have to decide to accept pittance of what they are owed, pompey are offering a shed load of cash to keep England's no1 goalie. You really couldn't make this up.

Spoken like a true ass hole.

Thats the problem, our government has come to rely on the banks making a fortune but sooner or later they are going to have to be brought into line. If the banks are not sorted out we are just going to see a repeat of what happened before.

Good signing! I've heard that basically any Charlton player is for sale.

Possibly, but I think it's more likely that Fry was pretty certain Pinnacle were a bunch of chancers but had nothing to lose by fleecing someone for 500K. I doubt he told Crouch there was a billionaire waiting in the wings. No need for the insults, you need to chill the **** out or get laid or something.

We can only go on what we read in the Press and Crouch said in the Echo that Fry said 500K was needed or the club folds. That was clearly a lie because a billionare was interested.

If the club are in the business of maximising revenue at all costs, as it appears, a good plan would be to just open one ticket booth prior to a big game then you will have to pay to park and they could lay-off some ticket staff and save some money. They could also wheel clamp anyone who goes a minute over - make a fortune.

Alpine - you seem to have forgotten that it's over a month before the start of the season. Chill the **** out, there will be new signings.

He didn't have to but my guess is even though he knew Pinnacle were a bunch of jokers he had nothing to lose by conning a wealthy Saints fan out of half a mill.

I think you can only blame Fry for that, Crouch was told it was cough up 500K or the club would fold. I'm sure if he was told cough up 500K or a billionare will buy the club he wouldn't have chucked half a mill of his hard earned down a bottomless pit.

embarrassing

500K is a lot of money, even for someone of his wealth. True Saint.

I wonder if there is any chance Leicester might want him?

Dos this mean they are sacking the old bloke who told Keegan to **** off?

Surprised he can't find a replacement, has got to be better than working for the NHS doing 11hr shifts and sticking your fingers up the bums of chavs.

I see it's not just the police in Southampton who enjoy wasting our money... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/birmingham/10499030.stm "A spokesman for West Midlands Police said the force accepted the need for spending cuts but the decision to change the shirts had been taken in conjunction with the Police Authority and funding had already been accounted for in this year's budget." That quote just sums up everything that's wrong with the public sector - "it's in this year's budget so might as well spend it". If any business in the private sector had that attitude they wouldn't last 5 mins.

If it's not bull****, "major changes" does not really imply a major signing. Anyway the vast majority of staff at SMS only find out about major signings pretty much along with everyone else. I'm guessing a ground redevelopment.

we obviously need to make a few signings but there is not that much urgency, unlike the start of last season we can field a strong team with the players we have at the moment.

If there was a big positive announcement, like a KK type signing, it would certainly go a long way to explaining the bizarre policy on ST sales.
