http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_city/9281723.stm This is probably the first real case where the club can sweat it out. Money isnt an issue and the chairman says he wont sell. Of course its all just brinkmanship at this stage, but i would love to see a club, say ********, you signed a contract, you are here for another 3 and a half years.

Certainly not advocating we sack Adkins or indeed that we hire Keane, but as per usual your posts are totally inaccurate.

Go to a match and then comment

Typical dulldays. Do one. Adkins was as poor as the players today and as equally guilty for poor performance.

Pardew was this Pardew was that.... Adkins always has a plan B. Really? Adkins was a rabbit in the headlights today. Very unimpressed.

Ha ha that's quality Alehouse

Another drink drive offence? Gascoigne avoided jail for that drink drive offence and is due in court for another one that he has pleaded no guilty, so it has to go through the normal process. Certainly not defending him, but don't let facts get in the way of a good story.

Whos that?

An interesting and reassurring interview. I'll get slated for drawing a negative, but didn't undertsand why he dodged who's funding the club or who he ultimately reports to. He was given the out of saying the "Estate", but he just ignored it and seemed uncomfortable with the question. Hopefullly that is at the familys request and nothing more.

I have every faith that you with think of some Jan..... May be ask him if he wants to make Kevin Davies the richest footballer in league 1 ;)

****** to you all. Good Luck Pardew, Hope you get it and am sure you will do a cracking job.

Cheers Steve. I know there is only a few votes so far but pretty much 50 /50 . I thought it would be heavily weighted to standing

I know it's more general than just Saints, but would be interesting to see a poll of our fans who attend matches, that would rather watch the match on terraces as opposed to sitting down. As someone who grew up on the terraces and always wanted them back,(As im getting on these days) I am not sure I would automatically choose to go back to standing.

Dont think for one minute that Chanerai has lost out or might lose out financially. He lent them 18 Million of which he has already had 4 million back in January last year. There is also a payment 0f 700k in the latest report to PFC realisations, which is the Chanarais new company. The rest of his debt is secured .....and where it starts to get interetsing. The latest report lists the footballing debt at 23 million The latest report lists the unsecured debt at 65 million. The lastest report.... doesnt list the secure debt. It just lists the secured creditors, of which there are two; Chanerai and Gaydamak. However following Gaydamaks recent spat with Chanerai, we know that he is secured for just under 5 million. We also know that the total debt is 120 million, which on fag packet maths, has Chanarai as a secured creditor for 27 million pounds (Unless I have missed something). Given he has already had four million pounds back, i am assumming (And Guessing) that he secured the debt as the total repayable and lent the money at some incredible interest rate. This is by and large covered by the parachute money (Only pompey could get that lucky and go down the first year it nearly doubles) but he now also owns the club, the land and as a debenture on EVERY single player - He can flog them, and pocket the cash. The fact that he is already taking 700k out of a club too broke to pay its lawyers and administrators, is bizarre if nothing else. Chanarai has got his money and plenty more covered. On top of all that lot, if he sells the club, that's his as well. Quite a staggering bit of business and all at Gaydamaks expense.

Are you after the kit or just that colour clothing

He has gone and won't be coming back through a reverse takeover

Do you know what a reverse take over is actually is? That's just ga ga land. If they are selling it will be cold hard cash and well out of lowes budget.

The reckon he is liviing in the South Of England http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-11929034

I think that is pretty much spot on. There were some posts on here that Swiss law passed everything on straight away, but the estate of a billionaire could well take up to a year, if not longer

Too many bullfrogs - He said from September.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/9261212.stm Pardew would be a good replacement

Someone wants to aquire them. The business has been failing for a while, but they manage some reasonable assets, so someones about to do a Gordan Gecko on them them, buy the business and, ditch the dross.

No mate you haven't. It's a perfectly valid question.

I don't know whether this is a "Swiss" thing, but no cause of death has ever been given. The statement on the MALI site noted death after a short illness, but that's it. He did appear a little yellow (Which I thought was to do with the Liver)

I saw that and am sure the orginal date was March 2011..... Has this changed?
