Well by the looks of this board we don't seem to be Southampton United either :-) I suggest: Red Star Southampton Stauer Southampton Southampton Yoof Woolston Ferry Academical

The creditors are Aviva and Barclays I take it - they're both in financial ****e so I think "greedy" isn't so much the word as "desperate" Either way, I don't think Fry is particularly to blame for this - one of the things that's struck me about this whole sorry episode is that everybody on here still wants to blame somebody, Fry, Aviva, Barclays etc. whereas, as before, there's *nothing* we can do about it. The blame game's pointless really - this comes from a bloke who couldn't help blaming Lowe - and I still do for where we've got to, but really, what difference does it make.... :-(

That would be cool as I could follow Saints on a website built (in part) by my own fair hands: http://rymanleague.goalrun.com/

What about if we got Hoddle in? :-)

yep :-(

Derry, unfortunately the key point is that the Football league is a members club that decides it's own rules / deductions etc. Frankly, they've decided to deduct points, and that's how it will remain. The law doesn't really come into it. SFC (if it survives) could sue, but then the league could just revoke our league club status and we'd go under anyway. It's anti-competitive really and wouldn't be allowed in any other industry but there we go.

Mines the 20th, the day before we go bust according to GM... It would be nice to have a good pressy rather than the **** I've had recently

I've just laughed out loud in the quiet coach of the 17.05 Waterloo to Weymouth train at that!

I used to work for Baring Asset Management and I can assure you that nobody there or more so at Barings Bank found it funny when they lost their jobs etc. These weren't traders on multi-millions by the way, lots of people there were on normal salaries etc. What a **** Rupert Lowe is. Losing Barings was a big deal for the UK of course - it was pretty much the worlds oldest surviving company and the worlds oldest bank - more examples of the rot setting into this country (well not really, that's a bit of a tenuous link but I felt like a rant!)

that stadium design is all too familier

thats that ****ed then, just like Le Tiss' England debut

That's a great article and makes a good point about the US system being more capitalist than ours, but with sports run on a more socialist basis.

Eling mate - we're not from London exSO40saint

Glenda could never have dealt with a player with skill approaching his as his personality can't cope with it. Read a number of England auto-biographies to see how he destroyed Beckham's self confidence and froze out MLT and Gazza (Gazza in an awful, awful way from a man management and team leadership perspective). This is why I don't think we would have done any better then Spurs with Glenda in charge - though we wouldn't have been relegated - basically, if the red faced one hadn't tried to repeat the Stuart Grey experiment again "I know, that didn't work last time, but this time we'll try again and we now have a new set of FA rules on coaching badges we can ignore with this wonderful Wigley fella" and employed *any* experienced manager, we'd probably still be in the Premiership. Or, it would have been a 1-2 year stay of execution as we'd have probably still had 100,000,000 managers through the door since then and a squad the size of China's population.

God, if that was so, he'd be a legend in my eyes. Imagine being good enough to play against our players, and then tear a strip off for putting the club into the situation they're in.

Funniest. Post. Ever...

I wouldn't

I thought 10,000 did?

7..

MMMaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiinnnnnneeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs

While building a website (http://www.goalrun.com) last year, I got to meet the Football League. They're everything you'd expect and I also predicted we'd get at least -10. I'm starting to believe the "sounding out the Blue Square" rumour as well...

the one thing that strikes me at the moment is. what a bunch of ****s we Saints fans are... :-(

Well done Nigel, I never understood why you had to leave to be replaced by an untried and unknown set-up and I'm not surprised that we're swapping places. It galls me even more because I can't stand Leicester

We were, but the red faced tumour was still in control. This might be a true fresh start. It's that or no start at all
