Reminds me of post-match discussions on here when Burley was in charge....he being the master of unfathomable substitutions of course

Where the heart is

Aye. Tactics are something a manager can, and should, get right from 'day 1'. Ok, the team might not gel immediately but one doesn't need time to bed in the simple mechanics of tactics.

The burdon of being sponsored by us has probably got to him.

Indeed. So why single out just one company? Three months before engaging them to administer one of your other companies? I'm not suggesting anything sinister. Just pointing out the obvious in that is seems a bit curious.

Talking of unanswered questions.....I would still like to know the circumstances behind this chain of events: Dec 08: WH Ireland recommends Begbies Traynor as a 'one to watch' in their end of year report Apr 09: Barclays (c/o Richard Fry) force Southampton Leisure Holdings to call in the administrators (cue Mark Fry from a certain Begbies Traynor) Jul 09: Mark Fry sees out a protracted c.100 day administration period at around the same time that Richard Fry (Barclays) joins Begbies Traynor (not before his profile was mysteriously removed from their website upon this being 'discovered' by people on here) All very curious IMHO.

All seems completely at odds with that first training session Pilchards witnessed where Pardew was drilling positional awareness and discipline into the players from day 1....

He was last logged in at 09:44 this morning.... http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/member.php?u=11609

Did Strachan send back the training kit that was delivered to his house a few weeks back?

Anyone know if Mr Liebherr kept the receipt?

Ok, enough's enough... Just coughed up my renewal fiver so I can say... FFS!!!

"Dean has been a fantastic player for Colchester United, but the fee I have received for him will allow the club to go out and find a worthy replacement" Note the use of the past tense....he's saying we've already handed over the cash therefore done deal?

Who, Skacel?

almost as far fetched as the conspiracy theory as to why an obscure Swiss business man bought a Southampton based football club in the first place...

Pardew: "It's a good job that Trousers geezer only has three posts a day at the moment. There's only so much devine wit a Southampton Fans message board can stomach in one night"
