The Kraken

And this. [video=youtube;tWny0v0Qu-c]

F*cking right I am. We need to get rid of the softly spoken Adkins and replace with a proper man's man. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5fwFba59lQ

We need to get pre-season reverted back to the times under Strachan as well. Sod all this heart-monitor and ice bath rubbish; get the players running up sand dunes and what not, run them until they're sick, then run them again. We'll be able to out-fitness every other team in the league.

Oh my giddyup, I was right. It's going to be some shoddily erected MDF planks with naff spray on stencilled images! Brilliant. That looks absolutely absurd!! They make the original Ted statue look reasonable :lol:

Of course. I'm not quite sure where you're going with this. I'm simply suggesting its very unclear exactly who the owners are right now. Whats your point?

As we ascertained above, Frank; its not yet known who the new shareholder(s) is/are following Markus' death. Previously Markus was the sole shareholder; and as has been speculated, Markus' estate has yet to fully go through probate, so the situation is murky at best. What we can gather is that "the estate of Markus Liebherr" is now the shareholder of the holding company that owns the club. Quite who the owners are at this time (and how much influence he/she/they currently have) is another matter.

Fox was injured, wasn't he?

I was being ironical.

Hammond when he swore on TV after the Cov game. Papa Waigo when he got his award for being caught offside for the 1000th time in a season.

They've acquired a shed now? Moving on up....

So they blame the 20-man squad rule imposed upon them by the FL (even though wikipedia lists their squad as having 23 players; presumably loan players don't count in the maths). What would happen if they filled their 20-man squad with purchases, and then decided they wanted to play the kids (who are already on the books). Would they really not be allowed to do this? Or, as it seems more likely, would it be true that they'd be allowed to do it, but if one of their players ended up leaving, they wouldn't be allowed to replace him with an incoming transfer?

Its £5,000. With that type of money the only museum you'll get is a second hand shed and a bag full of gear from the army surplus store.

#barebones. "Oh no, we've lost a player who we only sometimes bring on as a sub, and who pretty much all the fanbase agree isn't yet good enough for a starting role!!! Panic!!!

?? http://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/ltd/dmwsl-613 Markus was the sole director and (I think) shareholder; Cortese was added as a director in 2010. Markus' directorship ceased upon his death, and no other directors have since been added. I've heard tell that Markus' ownership needs to work its way through probate; it could be that ownership of the company is held by his estate until fully resolved, which i guess makes the question of ownership slightly tricky. But what is certain is that Cortese is currently the sole director and has been for over a year.

Just to point this out.............. When it says "statue"; well, its a statue in the very loosest sense. Firstly, it'll be in 2D. So forget any recreation of the (new) Ted Bates outside St. Mary's. Secondly, its going to cost £5,000. For 3 of them. Basically its going to end up being a shoddily erected plank of MDF with a spray on stencil.

Which owners are you talking about? The only director of the holding company that owns SFC is....................Nicola Cortese.

A laughable suggestion.

We should bring in de Ridder on the right for some much needed pace; Chaplow in the middle to run around a lot; a recall for Seaborne at the back to stabilise the defence; and the introduction of Luke Shaw at left back for some youthful vibrancy. That's what we need to do.

Right, that's is. I've had enough of your posts on here, Diggers. I hope someone outs you so that I can meet you in the real world. You pee-rick.

:lol::lol:

Neither is Charlie Dimmock.

Well hang on a minute; we didn't "go for" Rhys Williams. We were at the game watching him when he got injured. There was no bid made, and this was well towards the end of the window. And I think its a bit folly to say that we didn't prioritise Ramirez. It may well have not been to the detriment of other bids (I believe it was but accept that's just my opinion) but he was clearly made a priority signing. As for your last paragraph, yes. Ive previously stated elsewhere that I apportion blame for our malaise equally between Nigel Adkins, the players, Nicola Cortese and Les Reed. All are culpable in their own ways IMO.
