Abu Dhabi do? (sorry, couldn't resist)

What a cheerful morning we're having!

Indeed. I'm up-to-date with my personal tax payment "today". Doesn't mean I will be "tomorrow"

Like not paying a major creditor (Notts County) on time, for example?

Where did you get the 'Ian' bit from (sorry, brain on a go-slow today...)

Thinking out loud here....why have we continued to play David McGoldrick if we owe Notts County a "6 figure sum" based (I assume) on appearances?

http://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10426~1600532,00.html John Armstrong-Holmes moved today to again dismiss rumours that Notts County are in serious financial difficulty. The Magpies' chairman said he is "totally fed up" with having to react to comments and innuendo that is having such an unsettling affect at Meadow Lane. He said: "Our vice-chairman Roy Parker issued a statement last week which made it plain to supporters that there's no truth in the rumours that we are on the brink of going back into Administration but it seems some people just don't want to listen to the facts. "I have already explained that we are having the same sort of problems as virtually every other business - and football club - in this country. "For example, Southampton owe us a six-figure sum as one of the David McGoldrick transfer payments that should have been paid last month. Hopefully, we will be receiving that money in April.

As we're all aware, the recent annual/financial report published tail end of 2008 clearly stated that SLH/SFC needed 'significant investment' from internal or external sources to remain a going concern. On the assumption that we will avoid going into administration during this 'ten point penalty deadline' week, it would suggest that the aforementioned investment has been found, would it not? Either that or the bank has adjusted the threshold for meeting the 'going concern' criteria? Any educated guesses?

Rupert Lowe?

What, goose feathers?

I think you're confusing Southampton with Northampton.....

I would venture it has more chance than the opposite. Just a hunch.

More than a murmer surely? Does he not read this site?

Lowe brought Wotte and Poortvliet in as a seamless management team, aka "The Dutch Duo" (source: saintsfc.co.uk), so the date at which Poortvliet relinquished the token job title of "Head Coach" is largely irrelevant IMHO of course

Charlton coach Mark Kinsella: "We are planning for next season and while I would like to say that we are planning for a season in the Championship we are all not stupid. "League One is going to be difficult for all of us to take but we have got to get on with it. We will probably be favourites to come straight back up but it won't be that easy. "We have got four home games left and it is up to the players to give the fans some performances now to be proud of." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/7937198.stm I'd rather have played Charlton with them still standing a realistic chance of survival. After yesterday's draw against Preston they are now publically acknowledging that they are down. You know what happens to such a team's performance now don't you....

9 months is a bloody long honeymoon!

Highest for 3 or 4 weeks

Or the one Surman missed the other week.....
