Scott Irwin @ScottIrwinSFC “@BPLTransferNews: #SaintsFC make a new 3M bid for Alexander Buttner (Sun)” thats interesting, hopefully true
-
YOu're joking right? He is the first player I've EVER named on an HCDAJFU thread, telling NAA to get his arse in gear & sign him after I saw him playing against our heroes in the Olyympics (UAE not Team GB) If even I had seen him play and been impressed, then he WILL be good

It's OK, it's not real. I watched The Wall on TCM this evening. Shouldda re-watched the Godfather & the Horse's head. NEVER underestimate the value of a Horses head or a negotiation held on a Yacht 20 miles out to sea off the coast of Monaco.... I read about you on Wikik, we are 20 miles out to sea, I make you an offer you can't refuse..." Swim home to Bologna with this tied around your ankles. Simples

Join you in that thought. But Jeez IF we did that puts the entire plan in a different light......... Until you go back to basics, we will get a min of 60mil being back in the PL, so even WITH this "big tent thingy" potential signing we still have more cash in the bank from TV than the PST could dream about

I've been watching a movie on TCM tonight. I had a few drinks beforehand. Unfortunately due to UAE legislation, they in no way put me in the right "State of Mind" to even begin to understand the movie I watched. And that was when it hit me. About 8 pages ago some skate was quoted as to why we were obsessed with this thread and with them. Thing is we are not obsessed. Just like the Movie I watched, this thread is the same. It was Car Crash TV, and no doubt when it came out, it was a Car Crash movie that only "Stoners" could understand. And yet, today, 30 years after it was released, it is a classic. And it mirrors every event down the road. Hell, most of the lines from the movie we have heard in the past 3 years. Hell the last 10 minutes of the movie TOTALLY sum up everything that has gone on down the road Here are the PST & CHinny Here was TB today And on the PST bid TB's thoughts CHinny The PTS OK well, apart from the whole bondage thing at the end it's pretty close - but then that will be Us when we draw them in the FA Cup Hell, there was even a quote from TBH in there The Wall by Alan Parker. It makes no sense. And yet, in years to come, one day, like many of us lucky souls on this planet we will (or have) watch (or watched) Roger Walters before our Thread All in all it's just another Brick in the Wall Of Tesco's Fratton Park

-10 is IRRELEVANT. IT means absolutely SOD ALL. Until the last week of the Season. No deduction now allows the FL to see what OTHER rules they break (FCR for example) and ALLOWS THEM the opportunity to make it a Lutonesque -27 WHEN IT MATTERS.

That's what I said about 5 pages ago. It ain't Rocket Science, which is why it is GOOD NEWS. Dear Patient due to the war we only have enough blood to transfuse you for 12 months if we only give you a quarter of what you need. It means you will feel like sh1t but we may find a miracle cure in this year. Sod that give me the full whack. But you'll be dead in 3 months and we certainly won't find a cure that quick. To hell with that I have a hot date with my twin sisters & her cousin and they promised me they'd show me a threesome like what that Dubai-Phil talked about. I want it NOW I need to look my best........

At this point no. In fact he probaby has a duty of care to keep going. As I already mentioned, let's say with ST drip feed & match tickets they can last one month. Now the ONLY possible "Sale" is to PST who are in no position to come up with cash "today" (hahaha if ever) BUT the club could scrape along on drip feed cash flow, so the finances are now slightly different. A NEW (proper) buyer could emerge in the next month. Yes there (was) a CVA, but that will not now happen so a new buyer COULD save 839k by offering 1/2p in the pound. Then it comes down to CHinny. In reality the game has slightly changed, the investment is still bonkers and would only attract another Laundrette owner, BUT if TB liquidates tomorrow then there is NO chance of the Creditors even getting their 1/2p. He actually HAS to keep draining lifeblood from them for as long as he can IN CASE a nutter turns up

Wow that was cool, how the feck did I manage to do that?

The Dentist... [TABLE=class: MsoNormalTable] [TR] [TD] ... [TABLE=class: MsoNormalTable, width: 100] [TR] [TD=width: 100%] A guy and a girl meet at a bar. They get along so well that they decide to go to the girl's place. A few drinks later, the guy takes off his shirt and then washes his hands. He then takes off his trousers and again washes his hands. The girl has been watching him and says "You must be a dentist." The guy, surprised, says: "Yes .... How did you figure that out?" "Easy.." she replies, "you keep washing your hands." One thing leads to another and they make love. After it's over the girl says: "You must be a good dentist." The guy, now with an inflated ego, says: "Sure - I'm a good dentist. How did you figure that out?" The girl replies:.. "Didn't feel a thing." [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

Pah rubbish. They clearly did not sample the @dubaisaints Massive. We'd have totally messed that mileage number up. After all, by the time we get to mid season, now that we are on our way to th CL we'll have a couple of million more fans down here. All we needed was a great business plan, twitter, fb and our own Lucy Pinder look-a-like Hostie fan at the televised games
-
Totally agree. Seeing as we clearly only have one person doing recruitment we should totally stop any discussions with any other club about any other players while they only talk to CB's
-
Trying to become MLG still won't help you become a Mod. Meanwhile, does this mean we're not signing Ramirez then?

1) We know there is 3mil in the club (most likely ST money released on a game by game basis) - TB as you say will have worked out the maths (he will have been the first person to do a Cash Flow forecast for at least 5 years) that will cover the costs of his fees and the salaries. 2) We know the PP's have "vanished"but we do not know whether ALL the PP's have gone. TB is secured and this means that IF there had been any more left he has now agreed to spend them. They are sustainable on a day to day basis. They are not a going concern medium term due to the CVA costs and the FCR/Payoffs to players. It does give the Trust a chance to find some more cash - and collect their 75% pledges. But it also burns the little cash they had. The reality is to survive and go down this season to be ready next year with battle hardened kids that could get them out of L2. Their DELUSION means they will burn funds to try and stay up
-
RESULT! GET IN! They are signing 10 players today on a one month contract WOO HOO! C'mon gang just think about it. They are in Admin, they have no owner and no real prospect other than the trust. The Trust have no money, but the club has SOME money. They are just about to pump 10 players worth of that cash for a month. That means even LESS for the PST to use when they reallise teh U-18's are all they can actually afford. Keep it Trevor. Spend more. Make sure you get Howard in - Get that 3mil cash down towards 500k as quickly as possible. You know you can do it and become yet another PTS hero! We want MORE players signed NOW!

Well.... It fits nicely between two stalls... We want the rotten cheating carcass of a club to take it's punishment We want the joy of seeing scars on TCWTB where laser surgery has removed his til I die tattoos, or the holes in the back of their caravans where their bumper stickers are ripped off in anger We don't want corpy to just fade away with a hole in his soul, we want him to suffer every day BUT and this is the thing, our Kids & Grandkids - should they not have "a rival"? Would they understand the legacy we have left them if there was only Havant & Waterlooville down the road? In the cold light of day, IMHO, this karma will not last another 20 weeks let alone 20 years. How much more fun it would be to have a Pheonix Club that we can at last at least respect as a clean rival. In fact, just imagine how much MORE pain it would inflict on the phew - they stand at Moneyfields in the rain shouting scummmas while we applaud and support them and help them and wish them well in their endeavours. Would that be the final agony/irony? They raise a Pheonix Club knowing we helped them raise the funds to do it... We could even give them a mascot

Should we all *like* this page? Pledge our support?

And so it begins. A twitter group in Brazil eh? I thought we owned football in Brazil?

Wow, we could even get to the mighty 1500 pages. Remember the days when we didn't think we'd get as far as 100?

B;oody hell, talk about Big Brother... I jokingly reply to a tweet from a local Saints twit about chartering a plane to Luton for the Dubai Massive for our HUGE cup game at Stevenage and woosh, I'm now being followed by Stevenage's local Gov Twitter Account...
-
Just a point on that 3mil...... They have sold SOME Season Tickets and SOME tickets for the match on Saturday so that may be why the cash is "not available to the players" meaning the magnificent 8

Can someone ask the obvious one. Is Neil Allen on holiday?

My source from last Sunday tells me that at that point they were sitting in their office cowering and praying someone took the problem away for them. Think they may be in the pub celebrating with Ham & Cheese toasties for lunch around about now
