Skacel is sponsored by Infinity Homes, which happens to be one of Mr Wilde's companies.... http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/team/?page_id=6587&player_id=104 You'd have thought that the sponsors of a player, who is alledgedly being frozen out, would be kicking up a fuss with the club to get 'their' player more exposure on the pitch.... Erm...Sponsor = M.Wilde / Boss = M.Wilde Any idea how that works...? :confused: p.s. and how come none of the other players have a link to their sponsors from their player profile page....?

Trousers is watching these trousers right now....

Not the funniest caption to be honest

I was toying with the idea of asking in a faux surprise fashion as to whether we'd signed him yet...but thought better of it, as is no longer big and no longer clever to do so....let alone being amusing.....so I won't

Shadow puppet maestro Jan Poortvielt shows off his 'rabbit on stilts' party piece to the players after training.

Jan: "Two bloody years. That's how long it'll take me to save up for a deposit on one of these on the pittance that Lowe pays me"

I assume that it's the National Forum Moderators Annual Convention today? (this year being held at the Andalucia Plaza Marbella Hotel "because it's cheaper than holding it in the UK"....yeah, right)

Ha! You couldn't make it up (and indeed you didn't!)

Jan to Fulthorpe: You try kicking our tyres and I'll blow you away

Another one in the "appearance fees too high" camp perhaps?

Will Fulthopre & Co keep him on? (given money won't be (as much of) an issue, in theory)

Would seem to be consistent with what said Millwall fan thought....still, as people say, no point judging until we've seen him (on the TV highlights, obviously, given I "never go to a game")

I've just asked an avid Millwall fan (yes, he goes to every home game...) what he thought of Ryan Smith and here's his reply: "Very skilful player but lightweight with a questionable attitude. He is also injury prone. Cannot get into our side. " Make of that what you will.....

When I was a member (season ticket holder) of Essex County Cricket Club for 5 years in the 90s (don't ask....) I didn't sign up and handover my money because of any lure of getting "free" matches. I saw it more holistically than that. I bought it because I wanted to feel a part of the set up and the feeling of prestige and belonging that went with it. I still think that in the football world 'members' (season ticket holders) look at it too narrowly as simply a financial saving. If more people saw it as investing emotionally as well as financially into an organisation that they feel a sense of belonging to - a badge of pride as it were - then why "worry" about the price that other more casual visitors pay to come to see 'your' club play?

Who?

Agree....although I'd repeat that it's a shame that people need to "mollified" in the first place...as I say...the intrinsic value of people's "shares" in an organisation can go up and down depending on fortunes and circumstances. It's a risk concept that season ticket holders could take on board. IMO.

Best go and see a doctor about that.
