This whole thread is nonsense. Fans speculating about the future of the club will have no effect on what happens in the future. SaintRichmond you need a reality check, if someone hears a rumour there is no harm in posting it on here.

Better football = more fans, it's the same for every club in the land. My point is that IF there is a plan to get in the Prem in 3/5 years time, the ONLY way it can be realistically achieved is by massive spending. If you have a long term plan it's not necessary, or if you want to get to the Championship it's not, but living within your means doesn't get you storming through the Championship against bigger teams with £30mill parachutes to blow.

I don't think any of us actually know Cortese's business plan. If it is "get to the Prem in 3/5 years" it cannot also be " a fiscal approach living within our means" - unless we are very lucky, and being very lucky should not form part of a business plan. If we live within our means it would probably be at least 10-15 years before we are likely to be a Prem club. if we are unlucky it could be 20-30 years or longer or never. The ONLY way to have a realistic chance of getting to the prem in 3/5 years is to chuck lots and lots of money at it.

So you actually believe that if Cortese reads enough speculation, he changes his mind and does what we speculate!? OK. I've heard from a good source that we are going to get a Premier League striker, a midfielder and a winger on loan for the rest of the season.

Never heard of someone clamping your car at your own house - sounds illegal to me.

I think it was a mistake losing Lloyd James, whilst not outstanding I thought he was a decent utility player. It's handy having someone like that, especially when you know they wont sit on the bench and sulk but come in and do a solid job when asked.

What else would they say "Marcus is dead, you're ****ed"?

So apart from the Northam we have.. The Itchen Stand - Never full and no one sings except for about 25 people near the away fans who you can only ever hear if the rest of the ground is in deathly silence. the Kingsland Stand - Never ever started a song ever - only ever join in occasionally when the Northam start something. Can have quite a good atnosphere near the Northam if Northam is full and there is some spill over. The Chapel - Again rarely full, sing songs about once or twice a season. Might as well not be there support wise. yeah, lets slate the Northam because they sing the odd crap song.

If Liebherr family and NC decide to sell the club, one thing you can be completely certain of, is that it's not because of what some football geeks have posted on some internet forum. They are business people, they will make business decisions.

If we don't get any loanies in you have to wonder what their plans are IMO.

Dopey thread - the Northam is the only part of SMS with any atmosphere at all.

Vince Cable needs to stop talking about attacking the bankers and actually attack them. It's all hot air, nothing will be done because the bankers will just play the "we will move country" card and continue ****ing everyone up the ass.

You have a boring life?

We will probably be bottom come Saturday morning so i think it's fair to say it is unlikely we will get promoted - being the worst team in the league and all.

The bookies always get it wrong.

I wouldn't worry about it, I doubt he will take you to court - more likely jst trying his luck with the threat of it. I would deny ever using the pic and say any screen shot he has has just been faked in photoshop - it would be impossible to prove otherwise.

After watching that I am confident Adkins will get it right. We looked stronger at the end of the game, Adkins actually made substitutions which improved the side which is promising. I think we need 3 loan singings to stand any chance of promotion though. I would bring in central midfielder, a pacey winger and striker.

I don't get why people are religious at all, it's so obviously just a load of stories made up at a time when man was developing an understanding and conscience. Having said that, believing in a god or whatever is fair enough, but worhsipping some old, ex-nazi peado is just bonkers.

They were rubbish, I can tell that because I watched all the games live on TV. If I hadn't have watched them, I wouldn't be able to give you an informed opinion

You can have a view on anything but that doesn't mean your opinion counts for anything - for example my opinion of Chris de Burgh concerts means jack **** because I don't go to any.

Problem is, loads of people on here don't even go to the games.

I just hope that Adkins is given time - he's obviously a good manager, wether we go up this season or not he should be here next year.

We don't really have many options to change it around - best squad in the league my arse.

The players obviously are not happy with Pardew's sacking.

This is a classic SWF thread, somone posts something about some club legends helping an ex-Saint in a time of need - then a bunch of twots start a pointless argument.
