Superb idea. Simon - have suggested a local band via PM. cheers

I've managed to grab a still shot off the stadium CCTV....quick, get the pomagne on ice...

Maybe the administrator issued an ultimatum to the Football Club along the lines of..."the bid process is taking longer than the amount of time the club has left for survival due to the ongoing uncertainty regarding relegation. So, somewhat perversely, the club will only get investment in time to save it if we're relegated before the end of the season. We must therefore lose all our remaining games to expedite the process and thus save the club." Or, maybe not....

Maybe that's why the players have seemingly given up then...? i.e. the sooner we get relegated the quicker the administrator can shift the club. I knew there'd be a perfectly rational explanation for the abjectly poor performance on Saturday.

Just got back from Wembley. Any news from today?

Can I have my 'cut and paste' back now please....?

I agree with you 'Dan'

And to think Baj deleted one of my cut and pastes in the opposite direction. Double standards IMO...

Yep, cheers. Makes for interesting reading now. Ta.

Meanwhile....am I the only one ever so slightly concerned that Southampton Leisure Holdings announced to the London Stock Exchange than Poortvliet "resigned" when Poortvliet is being reported as saying that he was "dismissed"? I supposed it could be lost in translation though....

Which one?

Dusty's wearing a red tie though....it couldn't be, could it....?

It's 'beech' not 'beach'. So, something to do with bark and trees then....

I'm not 100% but I think that one might be Dusty Bin. It's either that or the silver plated canteen of cutlery.

Any chance of BP or Shell doing me a 50% discount on my petrol for the 100 mile round trip? The club did nearly buy an oil rig once.

Why have they called an enquiry if it's that clear cut?

Which bit?

"Viscount of Telstar" Isn't that one of Nineteen Canteen's mates from the house of Lords?

Dutch interview with Poortvliet this week: http://www.echo.nl/nb-ij/sport/lees/859633/jan.poortvliet.gelast.pauze.in/ According to the online translation, he says he was "dismissed". I thought he had resigned...? Here's the 'best' (aka 'rubbish') translation I could muster into English (courtesy of Babelfish):- Jan Poortvliet ordered pause 14 April 2009 Jan Poortvliet: After my dismissal at Southampton is it now time for bezinning. VELSEN - as if he never had been. With gebroeders of Viscount of Telstar he will eat a bite recently in santpoort North. Hé boy, everything well, cancel he who for him this way characteristic manner. Jan Poortvliet were just as in Velsen and made particular relax themselves impression. After my dismissal at Southampton is it now time for bezinning. Just as nice do nothing. Deliciously, the aimabele Zeeuw smiled. After its rather successful period in the IJmond he settled on by means of Nuenen and Arnemuiden at tending mouth sport, signed thereby, but could none no say on a splendour offer from a country where he what concerns football its heart to has pledged: United Kingdom. I got a superb offer of Southampton that years at the highest level have acted, a couple year suffered has a splendidly new stadion let through to build with a capacity of 32,000 witnesses, but money lack with a piepjonge selection the competition in had. We got compliments because of the attractive game but particularly at home them the leaving lie. From they at home unfortunately hardly won six times but. Possibly that press at home to perform that young boys have become too much. I do not think that they save going and that find I moan. Poortvliet had passively take care that assistant mark Wotte is tasks took over. Mark indicated the governing board that he could the tide turn, however. Tja …. , Jan Poortvliet judge evocative. Toch he it had to its sense to the English South coast. The Championship sit full with clubs with a rich chronicle and incredibly much public. Derby County, Wolves, Reading, Queens park Rangers and Sheffield United plays on that level. But flat Southampton also not. Each away match we are supported by such a 2000 fans, in spite of the low class ring and the spicy prices of the tickets. A couple weeks returned there 27,000 man to show up for the degradation duel against Charlton Athletic. The admissions had been drastically reduced or, but nevertheless impressive. Moan that we were not able find an answer on the beech football in our class. Those proponents and pierce kleunen there in, which do not want know you. Concerning its future plans Jan Poortvliet are still vague. I see, however, what descends there on me. Now even nicely rests. I can load the battery just as. There real, however, something comes on my way. It comes all, however, well hears…

A basket would be more apt IMHO

Wasn't it the ongoing decline into single fingers that Stanley (and others) were referring to, plus highlighting the fact that the plc's market cap value had seeped below the overdraft threshold, rather than just highlighting one £450 transaction?

I think you're comparing with the wrong chap Pancake....? I thought people were pointing out the chap with the open neck blue shirt and jacket (about 3cm left and 3cm up from the chap above, facing to the right....?). Could be wrong. Could be right.
