No mate, it will continue when you keep bringing it up. His terrible record after us speaks for itself

As we all know, the FAPL can do what they like, and they might let them get away without 9 pts this year. If they do though, and they go down, which is likely, then I'd expect -35 or something from the FL. Now, I'll be gutted about that in a way, as I expect us to go up next year, in which case no local derby

Though having said that, this Chanrai bloke can pay the remainder to the HMRC and other Winding Up Order claiments anytime before Wednesday and then they are fine. well, fineish

To quote the administrator on Solent last night: "if they lose on Wednesday, then that's it. They need to be in administration before next Wednesday and what worries me is that the word on the street amongst administrators is that they are not talking to anybody. They either believe 100% they will win next Wednesday or are heading down a track they shouldn't even consider" (something like that, at that point I was getting bored). cue much gnashing of teeth from the skate commentators and Andy Awful. Personally, it does sound more and more like it's in somebody's interest for them to go under to me...

Does your wife know, Does your wife know, Does your wife know you are here. Does your wife know you are here. It's like Shilton all over again

It's official - no sponsor next season! http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1952533,00.html

They're ambiguous for a reason (not that I actually read the above). If we were playing for a semi-final place and got beat, you can guarantee that the FA would reinstate the last knocked out team (i.e. us) as they cannot pay the loan on Wembley without playing both semis and the final there. As it is, I think the team due to play Pompey would get a bye if they beat us then go under.

He shouldn't be booed. But if we create a great / hostile atmosphere he'll hopefully bottle it like he did at Nottarf Krap and let in anything that's on target. He'll have the U-15 academy in front of him hopefully.

happy with that, not beaten and a point a way from home

It'll sell out

seamless ;-) My brother in law and I cheered as if we'd just won again when we came out with a home draw! what a draw

My mate works in corporate recovery and says that Liverpool are ****ed. Man U are pretty screwed at the moment as well - if they hadn't sold Ronaldo they would have made a 47 million loss this year, and their interest payments on their debt are 80 million a year! Very strong brand but so were Lehman Brothers & Woolworths

Wallcot? ha ha ah

Obertan on loan I reckon. He's been ****e for the Mancs and he's also "spoken to Fergie"...

I think the FA are going to step in thus: * Create a 2 tier European Super League with the top 5 of the EPL, top 5 of Spain, top 4 in Germany, top 4 in France, top 5 in Italy, top 2 in Netherlands, Rangers, Celtic etc. * Have some weird playoff system to do 4 up for down from the 2nd tier by getting the winners of all respective national leagues to play a mini-league in June with the top 4 then getting promoted * Basically cut the lower tiers of the national leagues adrift to go to the wall. England will probably support 30-40 clubs at this level, the others will all die or become non-league I don't *want* it to happen, I just think it will

First time I've actually LOL'd at a posting for ages

With that Avatar, he must have been

St Cross Road is shut as well

what a load of ****e. So for the first time in years we have earned 38 points half way through a season, enough to put us in the play offs if it wasn't for the ****s in charge, and we have a team that could buy a win for the first 10 games so this is all on recent form, all pointing to an excellent management team, who think that Pericard might be able to do a job for us. so why the **** can't we trust them in that case. Jesus

Anyone we could pick up on the cheap? Nugent?

I'd imagine they've not been paid again. Somebody on here mentioned it was meant to be yesterday. Ferguson will be livid again

Basically, they have sat down and run the figures on the likelihood of receiving any money from the skates and have decided that they are not a viable going concern and that therefore the best way to get their cash is to be the first to issue the winding up order so that they can be allocated funds. As previously mentioned, HMRC no longer have a preferred debtor status so they're in the mix with everybody else, and with the league / FA ringfencing money from sales for other clubs, HMRC will probably need them to be in administration to be able to challenge this through the normal administration process. I'm not sure on the legality of the FA / League cartel's rules here - would be an interesting one to see 2 bunches of arseholes ( The FA / League and HMRC ) fighting it out in court (except that HMRC will be spending our money to do so...)

Higher than the Burnley, Wigan, Brum & Fulham games. Nice

Get in!
