Been through all this before but put simply I would say that he does not have the contacts to get the right players for this level ! A complete fresh start is imperative IMHO !

I am a little surprised that Fry has gone quiet because he gave regular updates on the OS, programme, Echo etc, etc.. when he first took over the project ! Anyway, tomorrow starts another week and we shall see ! Been saying this for yonks now but they can't make us endure this pain forever, can they ???

There are 2 issues here which I feel some are a little confused about : a) £100k for a CEO challenged with a major turnaround is relatively 'peanuts', particularly in the football world (even pro rata for a full working week!). b) General incompetence and the ability to alienate customers meant that his performance level was unacceptable and led inevitably to administration ! IMHO (a) is no big deal, (b) was a disaster ! Ps. I am not a 'denyer' (mainly because the word does not exist) nor am I 'in denial' !

They would have been pretty p1ssed off though, eh ? A miss is as good as a mile !!

My brother is a ST holder at Leicester and reckons that qualitywise L1 is not that much different from the CCC ! That said, his team had a decent manager and romped it to be champions so perhaps he was slightly blinkered ! Interesting though that had Leics been docked 10 points they would not have achieved automatic promotion, so 27 wins and 15 draws will probably not be good enough ! Mmmm.. ?

This thread is spinning me round, right round, like a record baby, round round, right round ! Ad infinitum..... Know what I mean, eh ?

Sh1t joke that !

'Discreet' is the word, sorry to be pedantic but it annoys me more than any other wrongly spelt word ! Nothing personal BTW !

Dream on, baby !!!!!

I've got a very strange feeling right now.... This could be it.... Less than 24 hours to go ........ Please, please let it happen .... Am off to watch the Chelski - Barca game on the box, have a few glasses and hopefully wake up to the BIG BIG news ... Let's hope the barstewards don't let me down (again)...

I've put some Dom Perignon in the fridge just in case tomorrow turns out to be D day ! It's only me and 'er indoors' at the moment but if Lucy Pinder can make it round here I'll find a way to get shot of the wife so that we can have a proper celebration !!!! We're nearly there folks, keep believing .........

I admire your optimism but I reckon if we get between 5,000 - 10,000 we'll be lucky !

That's happened to me on the golf course too ! I have no problems with the players going out after the season has finished, they should live by tight rules during the season (particularly before matches) but when it's over then it's up to them !!

Whooppee !!!!

I think a certain Mr Redknapp may dispute this statement ???

Are you on drugs ???

Agreed, we need financial stability and a bloody good manager ! Oligarch owner and revolutionary coaches are not the preferred option !

A potential good manager will have contacts with specified targets for the right league level ! That really has been a major problem in Saints recent past. Rupesy and his naive sidekicks from NL clearly had no idea how to get results in the Championship! I pray that the incoming consortium appoints a true 'football man' to the position of manager (not 'head coach' BTW) and let's him pursue a football strategy with minimal interference! If the new board is virtually anonymous then that will be an even bigger bonus ! From the new dawn onwards I would love to discuss the Saturday experience, the away trips, the team, the match, the transfers, the injuries, the suspensions, the crappy ref, the league table, etc, etc.... Forget all the bollarks of PLC's, shares, directors, etc, etc... Let's get back to the passion we all share, nothing more, nothing less !!

So Rupert was there then ! Pity the sniper was not at his best on the day as that would have finished it once and for all !!! Bring on the new regime cos I, for one, am getting a bit fed up with the constant harping back to what we (19C excepted) all already know !!!

Alpine_Saint in positive statement shocker !!!!!!

Could you please post this picture as nobody else seems to be sure that he was actually there ! The thread has disintegrated into the usual 'we hate Rupert' stuff when the original question was " was he there" ?

Good luck lads, let's go down to Lge 1 with a bang not a whimper !

Interesting that he takes some of the blame for our demise (having played 45 games) ! Please take note Mr Lowe !!!!

If this is true, is there a higher status than GOD ????
