Rubbish, lucky people are more confident more like.

Is probably one of our higher earners so if we don't flog him this month he will be offered a contract in June for much less money and leave for another CCC club IMO.

If it was a financial issue I expect the club would have said so, it certainly would reflect better than "didn't want him enough". There has been nothing said that suggests Watford are paying more than Saints, I expect in this sort of deal the club just pays the players wages and that probably wouldn't change unless he got a new contract anyway. I doubt there was any loan fee for giving a kid a run out.

I doubt he would be allowed to say that they are not playing because Rupes wants to put the kids in the shop window.

That's complete crap, of course every team will try and win every game but some games are more important than others. If you beat the teams around you you can jump above them, it's the same for Man U v Chelsea as it is Saints v Doncaster.

It is a must win game, not only because it is a 6 pointer but because psychologically a home win is vital.

Excellent result, Barnsley are one of those teams that could easily be dragged into the scrap.

It depends if this Size is better or worse - simple as that.

I disagree, the way we I playing at home I think Barnsley away is the sort of game we need to win.

Not when you can't buy a win at home it's not.

We need to win today, a draw is not a good result.

You're in dreamland if you think we could avoid admin in Legaue 1. The mortgage is crippling us in this league FFS, there is now way we would survive on 9k attendances and **** all TV or sponsorship/commercial money. There is a BIG difference between the Championship and League 1.

LOL, good one!

It's ****ing stupid if they are freezing Rudi out just because he has an opinion IMO. No doubt it is Adolf Lowe's descision.

As for Lowe taking control of the club post admin, I think a good campaign against him by the fans should sway the administrator in favour of any rival bids (assuming there is one). In League 1 the supporters money will be way more important than it is now.

Everyone is too blame in some extent for this mess, it's only David Jones that has been scrotum deep in the whole farce all the way though.

What's the £6million Market Cap?

We would start of -10 for going into admin so relegation again would be a very real possibility. I think a team of kids would struggle big time in League 1 anyway, it's a lot more physical than the Championship.

I think the issue is that Lowe has forced our manager to use our best midfielder (Surman) and a kid who's not ready, at left back while Skacel's been sat there doing naff all. It may have excaped your notice but while this has been happening the team has been playing ****e and look like getting relegated. Lowe hasn't saved the club a penny, he has made the managers job harder, reduced the quality of the team and demotivated a player who could potentially be very usefull, and possibly with the right man management could have hit his Hearts form and been sold this Jan for a half decent amount.

What the OS?

Because sticking Skacel in the reserves has really worked a treat hasn't it? I have no problem with them trying to sell Skacel, but as he decided to stay we should have tried to get the best out of him, not try and let him rot. Maybe if we had a decent manager and with a bit of encouragement we would have got the best out of him and someone would offer some cash for him now. You must be completely thick if you think Lowe has handled this well.

Surely the more information the shareholders/banks have, the better descision they can make about who is best at running the club?

Yes but if my boss told me I was not wanted and he would try and force me out even though he was tied into paying me a highly paid contract - I wouldn't give a toss about slagging him off. Rudi's done the right thing in letting us know how Lowe's been acting, the more that's out in the open the better.

I want them to tell the truth, if the club is the shambles we all think it is then the more people that speak out the better.

Just show's what a complete ****ing shambles SFC is at the moment. "Last summer they told me that if I didn't leave I wouldn't be playing. And then at one point they moved me from the reserves to the first team." So basically, just as many of us thought, Lowe froze Skacel out of the team to try and force him to leave. Jan was forced to play Surman and that 12 year old Mills at left back when we had Skacel sat there doing naff all. Another great piece of interference from Lowe - making the manager's job even harder. Jan doesn't stand chance with ****** like this stopping him doing his job properly.
