  1. Oh please, that would be perfect!
  2. Ok, That'll do. Many thanks to all have have got in direct touch.
  3. Not too long at all. 1 or 2 more people would be good.....
  4. ssssssssssshhhhhhhhh
  5. Cheers Frankie. As you are a registered user though this poses a bit of an issue. E-mail me on colinjohnbrown@hotmail.com and I shall elaborate.
  6. Only if you really want to. Thankfully it is something you wouldn't need to leave your computer to do.
  7. Hi all. I am looking for a few willing participants for something SaintsWeb related. I need 5 people, feel free to PM me if you are interested. Cheers.
  8. But they do have players. They managed to field an XI at Salisbury. They have kids, their time has come.
  9. Going on the rate of the last Plumber I called out on emergency (75 pounds an hour) that's about 3k in 3 months. Take out the employer's cut and that will leave you with very little.
  10. On the topic of 'Their true level.' A few assumptions. 1. They are self sustaining and 2. They stick to their budgets (Big, big provisos..... almost impossible but still) Average crowd of 14k for all home games. 3 home cup games a year @ 10k. Sponsorship income of 1m per year. Other income also at 1m. That puts them at a budget of about 10m for a year. We can be generous and say 15m to include any TV money, other income etc. A realistic level for club wages spending seems to be at about 60% of annual turnover. That will give us 9 million pounds a year. In a squad of 25 players that's an avearage of £360k per player. Or £7k a week. They are championship at best on this basis. (It's a vastly simplified model though, I grant you.) It puts the whole economic model of football into context too.
  11. Now, this is the type of Skate that I do sympathise with. His comment about cutting cloth to suit is however something that I doubt they would ever want enforcing with their club, because then it will reveal their true level.
  12. Yes, I came over all blue for a minute.... It was a very odd experience!
  13. You're right, they'll revert to type. Because they are idiots.
  14. The average salery will be £60,000. There are teams in the Conference who pay more then that. They may have finally found their level. Hell, they will have one or two fans that earn more then that!!
  15. £28,800 pounds a week. In a squad of 25 players that is £1,100 per week. (Before Tax.... oh, yeah, they don't worry about that.) Welcome to reality Skates. Even the 4 million would have been £3k a week. And how much were we paying for a team that had to fight every step of the way to go up?
  16. I think the answer is obvious!
  17. What! No Robbie!?
  18. Ayrton Senna. Alas, he would have to appear in the 'Mercury' style.
  19. Bare in mind our teaser was Leona Lewis on a London Bus, the opening ceremony on the other hand was epic.
  20. Best of luck with that.
  21. Ah Queen. The definitive modern british rock band. Fronted by an Imigrant Parsi Homosexual. One for the old school.
  22. Cooo, the uneditted version in an Olympic ceremony...
  23. [h=6]I wonder if anyone abroad is confused why 'Beady Eye' are performing Oasis....[/h]
  24. How old are the Spice Girls now?
  25. Oh god it's Russell Brand. After two weeks of incredible talent and ability we dig out the dregs again.
