It's time to stop ****ing about, we need a 2nd goal or it's season over.

I don't think the trust had anything to do with Silverspoons, it was just Illingsworth.

I don't think the Echo has great "support" as such but I expect most of it's readers are Saints fans and enjoy reading about Saints. Plus they are a struggling Southampton company which employs many Southampton people. I agree with all you say about the Samual article but fact is, much of what he said rang true and Cortese opening his mouth gave Samual the license to write what he did. There is nothing wrong with what Cortese said but I can see why some people could see it as arrogant considering Cortese has only been in the industry 5 mins. Also just because what you say is right, doesn't mean it's right to say it in the media. Cortese is doing a good job, but IF he was booed then he must be doing something wrong PR wise.

I didn't even notice him being booed but if he was I can only assume it's to do with The Echo thing and what Samual wrote. The Echo thing was stupid and would do nothing but make him less popular. And you obviously have not read the Samual piece if you havn't read anything critical on Cortese.

If Cortese was booed then he does need to have a rethink about his approach to PR. The spat with the Echo was pointless and didn't do anyone any good, whilst the Samual article was harsh, Cortese did give him all the ammo to use.

This has to be the most pointless thread ever.

I don't think this was made clear to the people purchasing tickets, surely a trade descriptions issue.

I think people are still owed money from that fiasco.

Good stadium but I agree, there is no way it should have cost what it did. It's one of those projects that like the Dome was always going to go over budget, too many people on the take who are accountable to no one. When you give organisations like the FA, who are riddled with politics, a blank cheque money just disapears everywhere. I know someone who was subcontracted, he said they could basically make up what they could get paid. The Olympics will be a similar disaster with politicians and commitees making decisions they shouldn't be let a million miles near.

IF it did happen then who ever did it are retards. I still fail to see why people would boo one of the people who saved the club and helped bankroll it to Wembley. Fact is whoever was watching the big screen was probably not watching Lord c**tface walk out. I couldn't say as I was one of hundreds quing to use Wembley's few toliets.

I didn't hear any booing. Dulldays it is quite possible that the people who heard booing whilst Cortese was on the big screen, were not seeing the real reason why the booing happened (ie) mexican wave or lord whatever his name is. There is zero reason why anyone would boo Cortese, it makes no sense.

Sounds like an insurance fiddle to me.

get in!

It would never work, there are too many ways around it.

Was only joking, but to be fair, we've never done anything nearly as bad as what the Germans did.

I think everyone should visit Auschwitz, it's important not to forget how nasty German people are.

Am I right in thinking that an administrator can liquidate a company if he thinks there is no point carrying on?

I expect Chanrai has loaned them some money to see the season through, thus making HRMC drop below the 25% or whatever is needed to stop a CVA. The whole thing is so corrupt.

The only reason any club would buy now, under those conditions, would be if they we getting a player at a stupidly low price. As a few others have said on here, it just shows how desperate their situation is and that it looks like they are a long way from finding a buyer. It's good news for the Blue Few in that it might keep their club running, bad news in that it means they are even more ****ed next season, if there is one.

Cracking quote from Dazzablue... "the soon this so called administrator has gone the better he cant be trusted he is doing nothing for the fans he is only helping out creditors"

Diop and Ben Haim will be on big wages so they will do well to give them away without making a loss. They didn't go to pompey from Man City and Fulham because they like the smell of fish.

LOL, at least with Saints and the whole parent company thing there was a slim chance of getting it overturned - even then the majority of Saints fans thought there was no hope, and those that thought there was just thought it was worth a try. There appears to be some weird collective mass delusion thing going on down the M27. The problem is that the fans naturally cling to any bit of good news, no matter how unbelieveable. The administrator has to be positive, even if he thinks there is close to no hope of finding a buyer he cannot say that, his job is to find a buyer and encourage interest. You have tyre kickers like Rob Lloyd, who like Lynham with Saints, is just always overly positive, right up to the final minute when they are outed as being a complete chancer. Throw in deluded idiots like Grant and Storrie plus the local press who love a good positive story to shift a few copies and the whole thing gains a life of it’s own and all rational thinking goes out the window

Imagine how empty it will look if extended to the World Cup 40K minimum. MK being a venue is a dumb idea.
