How would the chairman of a football club leaving said club render it unable to maintain it's current status? Even if he does up sticks the owners either find another person to run the club or sell up to another owner who will do the same. Or am I missing something obvious?

But, as I understand it, the point being made my some people is that when his "two years" were completed at the end of August he AUTOMATICALLY entered the third year of his contract as ALL footballer contracts renewal negotiations are by default deferred to the following June. In other words, there were no 'taking up the third year option' discussions at the end of August by EITHER party as he is still 'in contract' until June....it's simply not done in round number of years (my understanding)

Although the website does say: "The Southampton match worn football shirts are our own personal collection and are not for sale. All other club's matchworn football shirts sold are sold to help fund our ever growing Southampton F.C match worn collection and online museum." So, arguably, a 'not for profit' venture.

Bernie Clifton?

....And can you imagine the control freaks and spinmasters at Labour ever being happy to give their blessing to such a speech in the way No.10 has reportedly given to Cable?

I like him a lot - very clever man. My favourite quote from his speech this afternoon: Vince Cable: "I make no apology for attacking spivs and gamblers who did more harm to the British economy than Bob Crow could achieve in his wildest Trotskyite fantasies, while paying themselves outrageous bonuses underwritten by the taxpayer." .....attacking the banks and the unions with one stone....quite clever and refreshingly bi-polar.

Too late....I've come on...

Actually, there may be a case for a counter claim against that website under the trades description act.... Exhibit A: sporting hero - jermaine wright http://www.sporting-heroes.net/football-heroes/displayhero_club.asp?HeroID=44647 ;-)

I'd be more worried about the prolific use of the official Saints badge on your website to be honest...did Nicola give permission....?! ;-)

Tosser HTH ;-)

Or maybe there's a clause in his contract that means it's cheaper for the club to keep him on the fringes than let him go? I've no idea either but just a thought.

If anyone knows anyone that has a couple of spare tickets for Runrig at Southampton Guildhall on 10th December then I would be interested in helping relieve you/them from your/their plight. Cheers

Why do some people think Boxing Day is always the day after Christmas Day?

Why is the white stuff you write with on blackboards mistakenly referred to as chalk?

What was the first question?

Because it's mixed with seminal fluid

"I haven't the slightest idea"

Indeed. It does all seem eerily quiet.....

Why haven't we signed a marquee player this season?

Why did kamakasi pilots wear helmets?

Why is my checkout queue at the supermarket always the slowest one?

Why do people walk out of shops into the flow of moving people on the pavement without looking and then just stop?
