I think that would be called a 'potential liability', certainly not a debt.

I can't understand all this debate about debt-free or not. As far as we are concerned, what does it matter? What difference does it make? We are indebted to Herr Liebherr but as far as the day-to-day running of the club is concerned, we shall have a budget and access to capital injections as we need them. Let's face it, we are not going to go broke again, are we?

The 10 points were for going into administration, not for what may come after.

That's a decision that I will happily leave to 'der management'. Stability first, then steady improvement from now on. If we can scrape into the playoffs, or better, then I'm sure that all concerned would be delighted but I wouldn't expect to see any big money panic buying at this early stage. Even at my age, I'm prepared to be patient. I'm just thankful and relieved that we have a club and a team to support and that we have the financial backing to be able to take a long-term view.

What's the typical turnover for a club in this league? £8m to £9m ?

It may even be that, in this 'five year plan' it has been decided that a 10 point penalty makes it unrealistic to spend large amounts of money on the coming season and that the big financial push could wait until next year.

Isn't that what happened last season?

We've appointed a good manager. I am content to leave the purchase and selection of players up to him.

Sir Markus?

If he left us he'd only be loaned out to some Division 1 team. Which is exactly what he needs, a couple of seasons in the lower tiers.

We've cut the overheads with the players that have been released. I don't expect spectacular changes to start with, but hey, let's just be pleased that we have a football club and some stability.

I'll be renewing my 2 but I'm off out of the country tomorrow for 3 weeks. Do you think I can trust someone back home to do it for me?

Thanks, Tony. You'll always be welcome at St. Mary's as a supporter.

What's the antonym of pinnacle?

Is that it?

Midfield looks a bit lightweight to me.

I agree FWIW

But you haven't seen any games in it yet?

What happens if we're out of the country for a couple of weeks? There won't be another of those forms that we have to sign, will there?

What odds can you get on us 'walking this league'?

Actually it's 'Mensa' but you'd need a high score to know that.

I've waited this long a few more days won't make any difference... ...will it?

Can't you just restrict access to fully paid-up members? It might help to fund the valuable service that the Forum provides.

There is evidence to the contrary:

That is good news. When I read about West Ham last week I had written him off. Let's get this sorry saga put to bed and we can all go off and enjoy our summer.
