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?

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

Tisdale, Nic Holmes or Le Tiss for me. Le Tiss and Franny would be a good team I reckon. If we have wiped some debt out and have a decent chairman / board next season I'd also like to see us keep maybe 5 of the current squad, sign 6 good journeyman pros who are used to playing in Div 3 / 4 and see if Le Tiss can get a couple of decent older players in on loan through his media contacts.

I think not getting Hoddle in has led to league 1... ;-)

They missed out by one season on being founder members of the Premier League (along with Notts County who's YTS player, Rob Matthews, sent Luton down with a 2nd half hat-trick - the only reason I know is that my Luton supporting mate Ian, and Rob, were good mates at Uni until that point). Anyway, the point really is that all the old "we'll walk this league" crap should now be in sharp focus for us. We could go the way of Luton, or we could do a Man City who I can remember the Skates relegating to the old Div 3 not that long ago. I do think the League are going to take more than 10 points though if they can. 1) Rupert made plenty of enemies there I'm sure (like he does everywhere, even his supporters say he's divisive) and 2) they've been made to look stupid.

If there's 28k, how about, to Go West: We're here, now that Ruperts gone We're here, now that Ruperts gone ...ad infinitum

yeah, his mum works at the General - I was surprised to see his name on the scoresheet - he's a good pro then.
