Dictators find a place in Harry’s game Vivid imagination: Redknapp Harry Redknapp was asked to comment on Manchester City’s transfer spending, which may well surpass £100million this summer. A man of vivid imagination, Redknapp came up with a gem of an answer. ‘There’s nothing you can do,’ he said. ‘They’re bringing good players into the Premier League. ‘Football fans don’t care. Saddam Hussein could own their football club and, if he’s putting millions into it, then they’ll be quite happy. 'They’ll be singing, “There’s only one Saddam”. I’ve seen it all before. They don’t care if you’re putting the money in.’ He is right, of course. And for ‘Saddam’ you could read Pol Pot, Joseph Stalin or Kim Il Sung. If they could guarantee a top-four placing — with perhaps a Carling Cup thrown in — then their character flaws would be swiftly overlooked by the chaps in the cheap seats. And something Harry forgot to mention: those blood-stained, tyrannical owners would never run short of football managers ready and willing to work for them.

I love festivals. For many, many years we used to go to the Sidmouth Festival as a family holiday. My girls grew up at the festival. Regularly still go to Towersey, Bromyard and the Oysterband Big Session Festival in Leicester. Summer is Festival time!! Last week we went to the Festival of History at Kellmarsh Hall in Northampton. Still buzzing now!! Looking forward to Broadlands on 7th - 8th August. http://www.eventplan.co.uk/Broadlands2010.htm

I do understand this and I do sincerely sympathize, or empathize, as Romsey Dave would say, but it was the "dickheads seem happy" remark that was ridiculous.

Please explain which "dickheads seem happy". Do you you think, like Dave Romsey does, that those that have been able to get their ST`s O.K. are all sat around splitting their sides at other fans that maybe struggling to find money?? What do you suggest we do? Suicide bomb SMS??? Please while you are at it, please explain how these fans "have been dumped on big time". Prices of just about everything have gone up. I accept, as I always have done, that the removal of the installment plan will effect some, and I agree that the lack of communication has been appalling, but don`t let that stop you making ridiculous sweeping statements.

I am very confused with your stance on this (very much as you are I suspect). I am a an ST holder of many years. I found out the ST details, had no major issues with the price, renewed on line in about 1 minute and was happy, so because of this you have accused me of being an "I`m Alright,Jack" sort. I have said all along that there has been a major problem at the club over the summer and that is lack of communication. I believe that the club has made some unpopular business decisions and not explained their reasoning, but to set yourself up as some sort of Robin Hood against NC`s Sheriff of Nottingham is really stretching it. You standing up alone for the rights of the poor down-trodden Saints fans who are being "shafted" by SFC`s answer to Alan Rickman, whilst the rest of us "I`m Alright, Jack" fatcats layaround licking our own testicles smacks of fantasy to me.

My point is that he couldn`t be asked to renew them even after you told him that there was still time to do so, so these were not "fans" that did not renew. What we lost was revenue from those tickets, not fans. Would the people who used the tickets go to SMS any way or did they only go if they had a freebie??

So he wasn`t that keen on renewing any way. They couldn`t be bothered to send a renewal so I can`t be bothered to renew. Yep, we really lost those didn`t we.

Pot/Kettle??

This is the bit I can`t get my head around. As an exsisting ST holder I just waited until the details for renewal came out on the website or I rang the club. Renewal was easy. If I was a Saints fan who thought about getting an ST, I would find out by the same methods what I needed to do to get one. Its not as they say (cliche alert!) Rocket Science is it??

I don`t anyone is bashing Stu for the message that he is putting out - it`s more to do with the repetitive (22+ posts per day), obsessive, "I am right -you are wrong - NC is the Anti-Christ" postings. Saying something 22 times a day doesn`t always make it right.

Well done Stu! When it comes to "spinning" a story, Alistair Campbell, Peter Mandelson, Comical Ali and Andy Android should all fall at the feet of the master!!

It was actually "half of 15000" at one point, but then I am being selective.

He has massaged his estimates so many times that he is able to pick a particular post to suit any argument.

So a 40% difference is "slightly more"??

It`s quite simple. There are a number of people who think that they know how to run the club better that the people that run it now, and they are very frustrated. You can`t blame them.

Why is it selective? You posted it and there is no way that you twist the words to make the meaning different. It`s not my fault that you are posting so many different points using the "scatter-gun effect" so that you can also be selective with your own quotes. Just pick on the ones that seem to suit whatever your particular argument is today and ignore the ones that don`t. It works both ways.

Bugger!! We missed out on that one then. What is Pardew doing??

Once again here, the clubs biggest "crime" is lack of communication. They may have very good, valid reasons for not having a TBT match this year, but let`s not let the fact that they haven`t given us a reason get in the way of having another "pop" though.
