This one is ever so slightly more 'amusing' Phil....

Southampton? Win games? Computer says "No"...

What colour was his tie?

OK....how about turning this argument on it's head.... Someone name a better method of achieving a fresh start in the boardroom other than Administration. (By "fresh start" I mean seeing the back of Lowe, Wilde and Crouch). I'm not in the "Admin must be good by definition because there was no other way" camp but I'm not sure what other camp to put my foot in as all we get on here is one camp criticising another rather than any truley fresh ideas. So, back to the question....name a better way of getting to the desired "fresh start" position than via Admin. Cheers.

Nice one Derry. Keep up the good work. Cheers

Thanks, but already found it and commented on it on post #33 above. Cheers And, just to reiterate....the poll was a loaded question. See above for alternative way of asking the question.

It's OK...I've found it.... http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=9838&highlight=administration The question wasn't as "black and white" as being suggested on here....it was about the technicalities of going into Admin before or after the deadline....i.e. it was a loaded question. I'm sure if you asked the question: "Would you prefer to go into Administration even if there's a good chance of surviving and prospering without it?" then you would get a different percentage. Still, it makes the debate more interesting to ignore the small print

Link please. Cheers. (need to see how the question was worded - thanks)

Out of choice?

Grateful if you could post a list of the posters who were "campaigning" or "wished for" adminsitration so we know who we're talking about here. In the plethora of posts we've had about this I'm yet to see anyone able to quote more than a handful of 'suspects'. Thanks.

BTW....I see Mr Jackson (cherrypip) was logged in last week for the first time in over a year....how long before we get a post? What was the name of that company he set up when pulling together the "Barry the briefcase" consortium in 2007? Might be worth a quick look....

Weren't Begbies Traynor the administrators for Bournemouth though...? How short are their memories....?

If the saints forum database hadn't become "corrupted" ( ) last august we'd have some choice exhibits to refer back to. Mind you, a quick google on 'marc Jackson" + "Bournemouth" will equally suffice. One question... How aware is Fry of Jackson's past 'credentials'??

Ha! Well remembered that man. I recall that OS article too. I remember commenting at the time that there was an easy solution to having too big crowds. It's true what they say about true words and jest...

Bunfight? As in more than one bidder met with Fry at the same time? Sounds like organized chaos to me. No wonder some decent people have seemingly lost the will.

It's either dave jones or ken tointon. Who? Indeed. One word: rudderless

I wasn't asking about Mr Fry....he's looking after Southampton Leisure Holdings.....I was asking about the views of the current chairman of the Football Club....what does he think about the management situation over the next 5 games....will he stick with Wotte for example?

Differences? They worked together as a seamless team. Didn't anyone notice? The boardroom banged on about it enough times.....

What does the acting Chairman of the FOOTBALL CLUB have to say about it all?

You have a copy of those emails too, eh? Make great reading don't they? I think we should post them on here one day.

Fair point. No doubt Mr Fry and his company will be going about their business in a completely transparent manner and will thus be publishing their expenses on a regular basis....

Is it logical to assume that Vulcan (Paul Allen's investment company) would be looking at the prospects of buying an available/on-the-market English League football club as a matter of course? After all, their remit as a company is to seek investment in the worldwide sporting sector (amongst others). As such, to not be showing an interest in a relatively high profile club that is on the open market would mean they're not actually doing their job? So, on that logical basis, I hereby declare that Mr Allen's advisors must, by definition, be involved.

How about someone post a link to the original article so we can make a proper judgement on the semantics? All I can see is a cut and paste job which may not include everything and/or in context? Call me old fashioned....
