Can't disagree with any of that Danny. I've tried but simply can't. :-)

Indeed. Had there been a thread entitled: "can we get 17 more points than Bournemouth over the next 8 games?" you'd get pretty much the same spread of answers you see on this thread... It's a funny old game Saint...

Yes

RadhijaidiOff: Well don Saints fan ... Felt like I'm home.

Tuesday, 12 April 2011 Brighton v Dag & Red, 19:45 Leyton Orient v Carlisle, 19:45 Rochdale v Southampton, 19:45 Walsall v Brentford, 19:45 Yeovil v Notts County, 19:45 Time to go 3 points clear (+ goal difference) and still with a game in hand

The answer is still "yes" :-)

Perspective. Exhibit A: http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23939878-pound-1-billion-cost-of-roman-abramovichs-empire.do

So, no-one heard these news bulletins then? Or, perhaps we don't care....? :-)

Fair point. But playing the Devil's advocate card one more time....if it transpired that the levels of prudence we were being told about (directly and anecdotally) didn't match reality, what could you/I/we do about it? Yes, it's "nice to know" but what does knowing actually achieve in the tangible sense?

RadhijaidiOff Radhi Jaidi Good morning Southampton, what a nice weather...

This. Make of that what you will.

Don't we have that level of confidence already? (both anecdotally and from the Cortese interviews?) Don't get me wrong, I think transparency is a good thing. I'm just exercising a little devil's advocacy in highlighting that they are not duty bound to release any more detail than is in the public domain already. Indeed, it maybe anti-competitive, business wise, if they did.

Has this been broadcast yet?

Yes

jordansibley: Saints' Chief Finance Officer on @solentsport news bulletins tomorrow morning, talking about last years financial reports #saintsfc

I'm amazed how we managed to cope in the days before mobile phones, t'internet, etc. Banning something from schools that didn't exist 20 years ago? Golly, how will the little cherubs manage without them...? ;-)

People 'demanding' to know more about a loan between two private companies/individuals? Don't they know how private/limited companies work? It's not a plc anymore...

Sssshhhhh....you'll have the left wing brigade from The Lounge on here if you're not careful, decrying such flagrant tax avoidance techniques.... ;-)

So, when Cortese said in his interview towards the end of last year that the club is "debt free" (or words to that effect)...what did he mean exactly? (a) The club is debt free? Or (b) the club is not debt free? Actually, thinking about it, given these accounts pre-date the aforementioned Interview, perhaps Mr Liebherr's estate has subsequently 'written off' the "loan(s)"...?

That'll be the bite he was after... ;-)

I've highlighted the important bit from the accounts summary....."no transfer revenue"....i.e. we're no longer a selling club.....that's all we need know.

Why would Art Garfunkel be interested in us?

You can't beat happy trousers

Exactly....ergo, best to report a loss (on paper)....
