Isnt there a difference that the Coventry bid was a joint input from Ranson and SISU Capital; where as the Saints bid was with money from SISU only, with Ranson being the "frontman" for the bid who was then going to walk away? At least, that was my understanding at the time.

So if we had waited until the end of the season we could have avoided administration, yeah?

The CDs I copied for you, yeah?

I think its more looking at it from the other side of things. These players are out of contract now, so they dont have the time to wait around until (if!) we have a new owner in place. They want to get a signed up to a team so they dont run the risk of not being attached to a club next season. Of course, they could always gamble that we will get a new owner in who wants to run the youth team as the same as it was before AND wants to offer them a decent contract. Big gamble with your professional playing career IMHO.

Or d), Smith wants out as he wants to play at CCC or above level.

Woot for change!

Ditto!

Is what it should say.

About 5 years into New Labour's rule?

I would like to remind some of the posters that this is the Lounge...

Sorry? Of course I know who Samuel is; my point was I hadnt read anything by him about points deductions. From what you have put, I would assume he was on West Ham's side in their fight with the PL; and he is a West Ham fan. Which is kind of my point... Mr Wilson, being related to Saints in some way (he might even be a big season ticket holding fan, I dont know) is of course going to come out and say that we shouldnt have the points taken off us. It is no different from people on here posting the same. What Im yet to see is an independent jounrolist print the same sort of stuff. For me, that will hold more clout that 1000 Saints fans writing it, as it would mean that someone else views it the way a lot of Saints fans do.

Sorry nick, Im not aware of reading anything by Martin Samuel or the other WHU (West Ham?) journos; so Im not sure what point you are trying make.

Im not saying they are not; the point being that he is not really an 'independent' journo picking up our torch.

Or even Bowie and Eno.

Jeremy Wilson? As in ex(?) Echo staffer and writer of books on Saints? Not exactly going to say we deserve it then, is he?

OK, was probably Scott then.

"Despite his name, Paul Chuckle was finding it hard to see the sunny side of life..."

Could I be as bold as to suggest maybe you did, yourself?

Cheers Minty.

That is, without a doubt, the best bit.

Which is what the Farmer said in post 1 of this thread. Well done for re-iterating it though.
