This, hope to god he stays; but if he wants to go, there's not much we can do about it. Just hope that if he does want to go, he does what Crouch did - shut his mouth, don't talk up a move elsewhere and allow us to get as much money for him as possible.

Fair enough, but you could also spin it that he has not been able to progress a team that consistently finishes top 8, to something a bit higher, despite spending £75M. Also, a team that finishes top 8 most seasons, should have won a cup by now, to be fair. Where do you think Moyes will end up if he leaves Everton - Man U, Chelsea, Man City, Arsenal? - I doubt if he would get the gig at any of those; maybe Arsenal but why would they appoint someone that hasnt won anything, after 7 years of not winning anything. I think he will need to go abroad to prove himself. I've only one post left after this, so ill have to pick my response carefully.

Not terrible, just not the shrewdest in the league. I think, along with Martinez, he's got to be one of the most overrated managers going. He's spent £75M on 42 players in his time at Everton (£6M on Beattie!!!!) and has got nothing to show for it. NC would have had him out the door after the first or second season.

Shrewd enough to have won f*ck all in the 11 years he's managed Everton. Don't tell me, he's done it all on a small budget.

Damn the 3 post rule. At least I have the decency to only make myself look silly on the odd occasion.

Make your point, I've clearly made mine in the highlighted text.

Yes I have read the whole article, but you don't really need to. Just read the comments from Nick.

http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/10341575._/ Nick Illingworth, editor of the Saints online fanzine Ugly Inside, thinks a new scheme may not have a big take-up among fans. He said: “The original agreement needs renegotiation. If they introduced the same thing I think the effect would be minimal. People are creatures of habit and I don’t think saying to them that they can have free bus travel will change their habits necessarily. “It all comes down to money. If you asked Saints fans if they wanted a free ticket then they would say yes, even if they only lived 50 yards away from St Mary’s. “Solent Bluestar already run a similar discount scheme for fans. “I do think free taxi rides would be great, as there are lots of supporters who live outside of the city.” Also, I must have missed his sacking from the role of Saints Trust Spokesman.

Can one of the nutjobs on here do me a favour and sum up in a few sentences what has been going on down in Pompey. I've been in a world of my own these last couple of weeks and have not kept up with developments. Cheers

I need to chat to (and get myself) and accountant. I'm currently paid via an umbrella company and want to look into setting up as a Ltd company. Anyone here and accountant, or know one? Cheers

Its Madhur

If reading appointed Adkins, it would be to get them back up at the first opportunity, not to keep them in the prem this season. Kind of backs up NC's view of Adkins abilities IMHO.

Did anyone see the shooting star last night that was akin to the one over Russia (sort of!)? about 9pm. Was with a group of mates watching a Hants cup final in Hamble and saw it towards the end of the game, no kidding, it was a bright as a firework. And no, it wasn't a firework as the trajectory was all wrong, and I know what a shooting star looks like. Anyone else see it. was very impressive.

Anyone here heard of this thing called Google Earth

OOOOOhhh, one of the few is finally getting it.... walksa 10:52 AM on 22/02/2013is the trust bid really ready to go? The longer and longer this has been drawn out the more money the trust was expecting to 'inherit' is being used up. Latest update from PFK is on their website; ww.pkf.co.uk/web/pkf.nsf/00F0EE29247BAB1480257B190035B736/$file/Signed+Progress+Report+170812+to+020113.PDF Potentially noteworthy points : - trading loss for the period Aug to Jan was £184k, before everyone jumps up and down about PFK this does not include the administrators fees - the loss was despite the HNW's putting in £244k as 'contributions to ongoing trading', making the real trading loss £428k - £985,196 of parachute payment was received and used during th period Aug to Jan. The first progress report indicated that c.£8m payments were due to the club, effectively the total now due is closer to £7m. - The business plan in the prospectus assumed 7 months trading in year one, this will now effectively be reduced to nothing as the takeover will likely only occur just before the start of the season. - The business plan in the prospectus needs the PST to get the clubs annual expenditure down to £5.3m p/a, despite all the administrators cutting the overheads for 4 and half months were £3.2m - giving an annual expenditure of over £8m. - There is currently no rent/loan repayment commitments for Fratton Park - it is fair to assume on this basis that overheads will increase rather than go down under the Trust. - The propectus suggests that the 'total' investment under the 5 year buisness plan is £5.895M. If the courts agree to the sale to BC at the proposed $3m figure, and with HNW's already releasing £244k the amount of working capital will be £2.6M or less, much less again once the CVA is taken into account. So is the bid really fully funded or is there effectively enough money to conclude the deal, but the 5 year business plan goes out of the window. The contractual payments to the former players alone seems to exceed future parachute monies if the reported figures are correct. Liabilities will increase (loan repayments) and some £3m of additional savings need to be found. The business plan also assumes that income will grow!! 11 months from Feb 2012 to Jan 2013 showed total income of £5.3m (based on Championship/L1 revenues). The ongoing trust plan is based on annual revenues of £6.2m. It smacks of finger in the air guestimation, as revenues will surely drop further in L2 next year.

Whats wrong with you lot !!!!....I cant believe that no one has mentioned Star Wars !!! I too was watching Room 101, during which, Mrs Mars turned to me and said "haven't you seen Star Wars about 18 times?" "Yeah, in one weekend!" I'm 36, I reckon I have watched Star Wars AT LEAST a couple of hundred times. I spent every waking hour watching star wars from about the age of 6 to 12/13. I used to know the whole script off by heart. God, how did I manged to find a female to marry me!!!

The only band Id like to see at SMS is a gastric band on some of the fat f&cks.

Must have been the last of the 1000 coaches to leave Fratton packed with fans.
