um pahars

It seems you change your opinions on a whim in a vain attempt to justify your latest position. Do I want to say the boycotters are insignificant or do I want to claim they brought the Club to it's knees, is it 500 or 5,000. Your strategy is risible. So only a slight difference then( £2.25m+):rolleyes: and at 500 people then the sums involved pale into comparison with others that have contributed to our downfall in recent years. You've done well to get three pages from a noddy concept based on noddy numbers LMFAO.:smt117:smt117 500 or 5,000 (you just need to make sure you don't get the two numbers mixed up when you're next arguing the toss)

LMFAO:D;) So when you want to try and downplay those boycotting you pluck out a figure of 500 to beat people with. And then when you want to inflate it you pluck out a figure of 5,000 to beat people with. Consistency not your strong point then???:rolleyes: If you're going to argue the toss, then you could at least do so from a constant position as changing the numbers to suit your latest argument just makes you look rather stupid.

I thought you were past the blame game (at least that's what you were saying a few months back LOL): So is the blame game back in town:D And then of course a month or so ago, you thought our attendances were "bloody good". Here's what you said about the 17,000 Derby attendance: So are attendances bloody good or bloody bad. And then of course the grand finale as you seem to have gone up by a power of ten with reagrds stay aways as in November you were claiming: So is 500 or 5,000 ???

Lowe's media round was not for the good of the Club and I fail to see how him saying anything in the press about rallying the troops for the next two games would be of any value whatsoever (likewise Wilde). Keep quiet and stay away, would be my advice. I think in this instance Wilde and Lowe are doing the right thing.

I thought we drew!!!!!!!!!!! That's Rumanian shots for you!!!!!!!

Complicate, I just like to dream!!!!!!!!!!!

Not if Banrsley only win 1-0 and then lose the next two 2-0 & 2-0, with us winning 2-0 & 2-0 (I think)

Don't worry, we're all in this together now. There's no need to be so secretive. If you still post on the Ugly Inside board just let Nick Ill know and I'm sure he could get you a gig.:smt038:smt035:smt020:supz: Rock 'n' Roll:smt117:smt117

You pessimist. We will be level on points with Barnsley and above Norwich come 5pm this Saturday with it all to play for at Forest (of course we'll fck that up though!!!!)

Are you lonely now that Tim has disappeared off the radar:rolleyes:;-) FYI I'm off to Bangladesh this summer to work with victims of Ox bites and helping with the rebuilding of a Dam in the Upper Dekkiad Region which was destroyed by a build up of methane gas from the local livestock.:smt117:smt117 Then off to China to work with David Gest's charity. BTW Why doesn't your band do a stint for this Saints Aid thingy:smt035:smt109:smt020:smt041:supz::smt035 Rock n Roll

I think you need to distinguish between the two themes running here. The first one is fair enough, in that Pearson was pretty much an unknown with regards his managerial potential/calibre. He certainly had a decent track record of being an assistant/coach, but as we have found out to our cost that doesn't mean jack with regards stepping up to the plate. But the second theme, which is the one some have had a pop about, is that fact that Pearson as a person was an unknown, or at least to 90% of us (that's what The Farmer was getting at) and I have to say I find that hard to fathom as Pearson was a pretty "big" player for a fair few years at Sheff Weds and Boro (Wembley appearances as Captain etc)

I will have a smidgen of hope if Barnsley get thumped midweek and Bblackpool are hammering Norwich whlst we're in the pub.

Yeehah:smt117 LMFAO The deadline passed But Oh!!!!

Sadly, Saint in Winchester has just retreated into that Groundhog Day excuse that Pearson was too expensive.:rolleyes: Unbelieavble:D

Research???? It's called going to matches and knowing your stuff. off the top of my head other players around that time at Sheff Weds were: Anderson, Nillson, Woods, Worthington, Palmer, Warhurts (i think), Bright & Hirst, Sheridan (maybe), Waddle, that yank bloke As for that boro team: Juninho, Ravanelli, Emerson (remember 4-0 down here and Ravanelli?? mising a penalty) Pallister, Barmby, Festa, Phil Stamp, Hignett

Posted this yesterday as not sure about this £10m. Think you need to get behind the words and really understand what he was saying. Have a listen to this one and it's not exactly as you are saying: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...ty/8004742.stm And I think the £10m relates to prior monies invested (i.e. inc the pruchase and funding last season etc etc etc) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/foo...nightmare.html They have not spent big on transfer fees this season and the BBC interview refers to this quite clearly.

I don't want to call you insular, but I'm amazed you didn't know who Nigel Pearson was???? He was the skipper during Boro's mad days when they signed Ravanelli, Juninho, Emerson etc etc etc under Robson. He played in a few finals for them and was the backbone of their up/down side around that period. He was also Captain for Sheff Weds during their mini revival in the early 90's when they were at Wembley and had a tidy side under Atkinson/Francis

So now we're back to Nigel Pearson's high wage demands pricing him out:rolleyes: Haven't heard that little ditty for a while and thought we put that one to bed. Groundhog day all round then LOL:smt117

But fairly recently they won three on the bounce, wth one of them spanking Ipswich away 3-0 and another putting 3 past Preston. IMHO our squad is better than our league position would suggest.

Hoddle experienced the lower leagues with Swindon, would he be interested???

I also think one of the reasons why Pearson's stock is still relatively good with us supporters is the way he conducted himself despite effectively getting the boot from us. No bad words, no malice, just very professional and dignified. Like you, I'm just left shouting - WHY, WHY, WHY????

Thank you very much. That is mentalist, particularly the customising bit

It all depends on the agreement etc, but here is a possibility that it could actually be an attractive deal to the Club. If the rental was say variable based on attendances etc, with an option to purchase if things are going well, then it might not be a bad shout. If the rental increased with our ability to pay, then it might take some of the fixed cost and potential risk out of the equation. I accept that if someone has not got the cash to buy the Club and the ground it may not say much for their ability to fund us, but in the absence of a mega backer, it could actually make sense to pass that debt and worry on to someone else. It would all depend on how the deal was structured, but I wouldn't rule it out on principle.

Not that know of. I just remembered it.

This time last year with two games to go: 50 points & 21st - Finished 54 points & 20th Currently 44 points & 23rd - Finished ??????
