Give it to Ron

Having read this twice now I am so optimistic that we have finally turned the corner but I have a crap record...I supported Wilde, gave Lowe a second chance..... All I can do is follow my team as best I can...I said last year was the last year for my 2 STs after hating last season so much. If Pinnacle do complete the take over I will deffo renew. Thanks Tony for your hard work

What about those on 'gardening' leave like Hockaday? He certainly knows the players and was doing a decent job before he fell foul of the nutjobs we had in charge last season.

Wrong spelling...knowing Saints its more likely this lot http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/theroylefamily/

I agree some managers fit in at places like Redkrapp at Pompey but this was not just the views of one fan. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/football-league/dutch-manager-lined-up-by-saints-520362.html I am just really emphasising my view that Wotte would struggle to get another job in England or Holland. I acknowledge your views as thats what football is all about but for me he is not what we need here next season.

Really? http://netherlands.worldcupblog.org/1/feyenoord-where-did-it-go-wrong.html Someone appointed former youth player Mark Wotte as technical director. Why? Nobody knows. Wotte was a mediocre coach at mediocre clubs. Didn’t have any management experience at all. Still, he was in charge of building a new Feyenoord, with Ruud Gullit. I don’t know how many players came from how many different countries, but at the end of the day, Wotte/Gullit failed. Miserably.

Agree with you. But he is a drowning man clinging on to his last lifebelt, who else in England would employ him? His career in Holland was littered with relegation and even administration. It is very easy to come out with the talk but he never walked the walk. He never had a plan B and stuck rigid to the narrow diamond formation. Some silly team selections (like Morgan wide right at Blackpool worst performance from a Saints player this season) and although I accept he had limited squad he was part of the management team that bought in 7 shocking loans.

In the main the staff did do that and to say that it relied on Lowe bashing is doing a disservice to the other members of staff like Gemma, John etc. Why did you listen if you hated it that much? Are you a masochist then? If I don't like a programme I don't watch it or listen to it. I will declare that I am very grateful to this radio station as I won a big competition run by them for Smilemakers that enabled my daughter to have treatment she needed that we would of had to try and fund after being let down by the local NHS. A great shame IMO as they had some very interesting programmes and enjoyed the music they played.

Stopped....well I couldnt pick it up in the wifes car just now. Shame as I really liked some of the stuff on there. Nineteen you really are a piece of work...you are happy that people have lost their jobs At radio Hampshire yet you were slagging off Crouch the other week for laying off 50!

Simples...treat them all the same and only believe what you hear from Fry himself. Not that doing it is easy as we all need the ITK fix.

I think what some are trying to say Jan is that there may not of been an Irish bid or that they never actually exist or even have the 500k to put on the table.

I don't think everyone was...many people were reading your warnings and when I heard that nothing was being announced after all yesterday that set warning bells for me. I think we are stuffed. Great day yesterday skates get a rich sheik, Hants lose by 1 run and our alleged buyers cannot come up with the cash and seal the deal.

Quite possibly but whilst Dyer is here he will not progress, he has gone stale and has too much 'history' here to be the player he wants to be. It happens, Kevin Davies was the same second time where he just wasn't going to achieve his full potential as he need the North to feel comfortable. We may regret it in the future but IMO he will never make it here, hopefully McLaggon will come through and be better than Nathan anyway.

I think this answers that http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/4401143.Saints_agree_Dyer_deal_with_Swansea/

We need Staplewood to attract up and coming youngsters to join Southampton and not the lot down the M27. Portsmouth have spent quite a bit in recent times vamping up their academy side. The benefits of Staplewood and a good academy have born the fruit in recent seasons. We would of folded earlier without the Bale and Walcott money. We are now at even bigger disadvantage to other clubs in the area that can offer a higher standard of football...the one thing that we can attract kids is to our facilities.

His partner is the lighting milionaire Shaun Dolear

Could you cope that long without your moderation fix?

Too bloody right...I played against him at schoold for Redbridge v Weston Park and he was the toughest player I have ever faced. Battered and bruised us!

Saints fans will be updated in next 24 hours by Mark Fry who is now more optimistic than last week of a deal. Wages have to be paid on Thursday.

Has he not heard of Viagara? I am not sure what his sexual problems have to do with a takeover apart from airing his problem on here Nick! I hope you havnt jeopardised this deal. ;-)

No they are not...how can they when it needs millions and they have to prove DD? They are brokering a deal on behalf of someone. Can you show me any proof that they are either a] Jackson is buying it b] going to be on the board c] has made any statement to this effect. Or is your assumption based on what the usual sh1t stirrers on here dredge up time and time again? Can you show any proof that the so called 3 bids are not creditable? Why did Fry discard the Guernsey bid if he is just accepting anyone then? Too much rubbish is being written and believed on here without fact and just based on what some anti-anyone posts to stir it all up.

Did Green/Jackson contact MLT to join forces?

Great team performance once again....we certainly have some great youngsters coming through. Razza bowled superbly and a great knock from Jimmy Adams saw us home comfortably. The main thing I have noticed this season is how good our fielding and catching is compared to other seasons - we must of worked very hard on this.

Posted on the ticket no alcohol can be taken into the ground.

So what happens in season 2 or 3 when th little bit of money Salz and co had runs out? I still cannot understand why they don't join up with the other consortium and be twice as strong.

I am sure one of the more informed posters will be along in a minute but wasn't that ID used by one of the Tricon lot? St. D or even LLS himself?
