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" ?

http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=12776 Why don't you guys sift through the 169 posts on this thread, I think you'll find most of the answers/arguments here !

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 ????

If he does turn up then he is a very brave (or perhaps very stupid ) man ! He must have seen the advanced publicity and there might well be a nutter out there prepared to do him in !!! Ps. My money is on Stanley

Benaud !

Agreed ! Also nobody has mentioned the fact that Wotton has said that there was no mailicious intent, Carlisle came to check him in the dressing room, they shook hands and that was the end of it ! Writing to the authorities in this case is totally pointless !

Interesting that the relationship had broken down but is now back on track ! Smells to me that Rupsey's finely honed diplomatic skills may have let us down again ! I can't really see anyone else having upset them as the rest are all poodles ! Oh well, no surprise there I suppose ! Good luck to all travelling fans tomorrow ! COYS.

Didn't he also play for him at Rangers ? If so, then it's absolutely gauranteed that Souness will take the club over soon and Tugay will be the first signing !

I think you'll find that he sold the company a few years ago (trousered a fortune!) and that he may be looking to buy back a part of it now if it suits him ! Hardly troubled, methinks !

When the sniper's bullet penetrates Rupert's forehead as he smugly sits in the director's box , I think you'll manage a wry little smile after all !!!

As the original poster on this thread I am happy that you did not start at the very beginning cos if you had you would have learnt that SOUTHEND had been docked 10 points and it would apply NEXT SEASON ! 2 minor details have since emerged, STOCKPORT have been docked -10 to be applied THIS SEASON ! On the bright side I have achieved a personal record for the longest thread of my Saintsweb existence, deep joy, deep joy !!

Basically the March deadline and the penalty only applies to teams who are close to the relegation zone but not to others ! Very, very fair and equitable that is, eh ??? The FL are a bunch of jokers !!!
