Weston Super Saint

Ssssshhhhhh! You're forgetting the golden rule! If you say something enough times on the sceptic isle it becomes truth! E.G. Scum / dockstrikes. 100% own the club. Debt free. Own the training ground. Penny Morduant is fit. Bestest fans in the world. Blue print for fan ownership. Etc etc....

If they build all that then they'll be rattling those buckets again pretty soon as they'll need a lot more than £240k - assuming they build the fence

I guess they don't actually have the cash to pay for the solicitors until the collection buckets are emptied? Also, isn't 2015 when the academy is proposed to be self funding? I'm guessing when the time comes around, they won't have an academy anyway, so won't need the money raised. This can then be spunked on replacing the fat in the pipes for the bestest shiniest fat and the skates will lap up the headlines. Obligatory year of birth post too Also, 'The9' - it is safe to post on this page

Ahhhh, welcome back football and welcome back cup finals :-)

I'll do one properly for you Caveat - this is my old job that I left three years ago... Job: Pub / Restaurant General Manager Industry: Pubs / Restaurants Approx Annual salary before tax without bonus: £32k Typical bonus: £6-7k Approx take home after tax: £1.6k every four weeks iirc... Approximate location: Netley Years of working experience directly relevant to your job: 18 Level of education: BA(Hons) Additional job perks e.g. company car/shares: Free accommodation - although that has massive downsides as well! Typical hours worked per week: 70-75

Because there will be a shiny new bit of tarmac laid which will allow a couple of ambulances and a burger van to park up between the football arena and the fish counter. It's all about perspective really.

Did you miss your last three administrations? Pretty sure hero Kanu was mentioned in at least two of those when he had the amount of wages he was owed reduced on both occasions! If that's not 'proof' then I'm not sure what you will accept as 'proof'?

Did I miss something? As far as I'm aware they still don't own their own training ground - in or outside of Portsmouth City! All they've managed to do is secure a long term rental agreement with Roko haven't they? Or do they think that if they call it 'theirs' enough times the owners of Roko will rollover and agree to let them have it?

I got one two weeks ago at Brizzle railway station. The automated, can't even speak to a human on the other end of the phone system they use decided to randomly put a 1 in front of my number plate! When the monkey came round to check, he obviously couldn't find my reg number and slapped a ticket on the car! They use one company for paying the parking money to and another that slaps the fines out, so one phone call to the first company and I have a valid receipt for the parking. Sadly, the second company are so inflexible that they won't deal with anything over the phone - except paying the fine!! - and you have to write to them to appeal. They basically hint on their website that unless you send it recorded delivery they will blatantly lie and say they didn't receive it! So, I'm now out of pocket to try and justify why I parked legally! I've therefore sent them an invoice for half an hour of my time, plus stationary and postage costs for £127. I've also pointed out that each seven day period that they don't pay the invoice will be subject to 100% interest. I'm looking forward to taking them to the small claims court in a couple of weeks for a grands worth of unpaid invoice I've got more chance of winning than they do! Two weeks later and they still haven't even acknowledged my appeal, despite stating quite clearly that I wanted it acknowledged within five days! They also signed for the letter using the name 'Smith' which I'm sure I'll eventually find out that they don't have a 'Smith' working for them! Who do we report postal fraud to???

Argentina is bankrupt. They can't afford to send a girl guide trip over to the Falklands let alone a military invasion. I think the sheep on the island will be safe for another decade

And United finished seventh, so technically it's top 7 not top 6. dont[sic] talk pony! If anyone knows EXACTLY what is going on behind the scenes at SFC, then please do tell. For now, RK seems pretty happy with the way things are turning out, so as is usual for Saints fans, let's wait until the summer is concluded and see where we stand then! I'd even go so far as to say let's see where we are after Xmas and make a judgement then!!

Or buy some virtual paint in order to paint some more virtual penalty spots - that stuff ain't cheap you know!!

Cabbage face did tub girl... Lungs just went all Emo and weird.

But don't forget that by the magic of Pompey maffs, that 11 month period will actually cover TWO seasons worth of [season] ticket sales! They didn't sell any last season until they 'owned' the club which is when they started their books and will definitely include the early bird season ticket sales for this season!

Not sure what accounting school you went to, but when people refer to 'fully funded' they always actually mean,'fully funded except for the last £700k of the budget'. By my calculations : Income was £5,902,555 for the entire year. Loss - 11 months to May = £90,976. Total money spent for 11 months to May = £5,993,531 Average monthly spend for 11 months = £544,866 With one month left to go for the accounting period and only money slipping through their webbed fingers I guess it's safe to assume that the total deficit for the full twelve months will actually be £635,842! Still a saving of around £65k on their original £700k proposal, but certainly not the 'brilliant achievement' that they are blowing their trumpets about! Still, I guess that's the issue that you get when you use the non standard 11 month accounting calendar!

To be fair, I'd say that Blackpool are a crisis club. We seem to be in a much better position than they are, ergo we aren't a crisis club. We've sold three players and signed two. It's not the end of the world!

That's simply not true! Many of them are now the proud owners of virtual penalty spots which are fully funded. Some of them are even awaiting the delivery of their digital certificate, yes that's right, digital certificate! confirming that they have 'sponsored' a square metre of the academy training pitch - for clarity, they won't own the square metre, but will of course own the digital certificate!

Is this the year that Corpse will finally be resurrecting his transfer gloating / rumour section? Maradonna was in the Maracana last night but couldn't make out who he was chatting to - must have been one of the trust members though...

Lol. That is quite amusing. Even more so if the private message reading bit is true

You're mixing up recruitment agency with high street agency... As previously said, find an agency that specialises in sales recruitment and give them the job to look at. IF they ask you to pay up front, avoid like the plague! A decent agency will charge no fee until the role has been filled - then you are looking at 15-20% of the basic salary, but ensure this is agreed up front. You can negotiate lower fees of course, however the lower you go, the less interest the agency will pay towards finding the best candidate! Appoint an agency today and you should be able to shortlist candidates by the end of the week and interview next week.... Is the time and hassle of looking at CVs worth the cost of using an agency is the question to ask? Trust me, you put an ad up on a decent job board for a sales role and you will probably have to sift through a hundred or so CVs in order to find two or three good candidates... A final piece of advice, if you are going to do it yourself, don't put a phone number on the advert or you WILL get every agency calling you to tell you they have the best candidates waiting for you to look at!

Seems pretty drastic but it's your marriage I guess

However, 'frustration of contract' will ultimately end in 'rescinding of contract'. Once that happens the player can go to whoever wants him as he will be a 'free agent' without a contract. The smart play is still to cash in and get £25m for someone who doesn't want to be at the club and hope that he enjoys his three games of champions league football - watching from the bench!

Do you also honestly believe that he will have said yes to the sales without having a pretty good idea of who he wants to bring in to replace them? SFC can't win at the moment can they! Some people on here need to take a trip to a dessert island with no innernetz connectionz and come back mid August when the season starts.

Lol. Well at least we can look forward to the club calendar having more than half the players still at the club by Christmas

Lol. Pretty sure nobhead neil was trumpeting the fact that Terry the builder rescued the antique chairs from a skip, took pity on them like a lonely child, lost on a deserted street and then whisked them off to his lockup to keep them safe. He must have missed out the bit where one of his building crew threw them in the skip in the first place!
