Sadly, single figures...!

Interesting blog / theories: http://ktwop.wordpress.com/2011/04/06/saab-fights-liquidity-crisis-while-victor-muller-plays-a-game/

Sorry, tend not to post on this thread too much but appreciate CH's input to try to put some balance to the argument, however, this is confusing: "Sorry FC, disagree completely about what may have been exploited. Most Saints posters still believe we spunked £130m on players and that's how we ran up the debt. In fact (as I keep saying) we were around £58m in debt at the point we started selling some of our best players (Diarra, Johnson, Muntari, Defoe etc.) This reduced the wage bill considerably and SHOULD have had the double effect of also reducing the debt level (is there anyone, even on this board who would disagree with that?). However, the fact is that from debts of £58m we sold players for more than £70m DID NOT keep buying big name, high fee players on huge wages but somehow saw the debt level DOUBLE???? Money that could and should have seen us running on a pretty much break even basis went missing - there's no other explanation for the situation. How you can view that as irrelavent is beyond me" I believe the oft quoted and widley accepted figure of debt was £130 million, given the figures above are we saying now that the club sold £70million pounds worth of players and a further £72 million also just 'went missing' without any explanation? Are there any theories or explanations as to how this money disappeared?

Interesting question actually if you look at his stats you can see that he has basically had 1 decent season since he left us. However in the past 4 seasons he has managed just 12 league goals in 80 games - last season he failed to score at all. http://www.premierleague.com/page/PlayerProfile/0,,12306~5991,00.html I think I'd pass on this one - sentiment could get you into trouble.

Nice to see that they have a positive spin on Dans performances for us as well, as opposed to some other rags.

Terrible news, hope he makes a full and speedy recovery and is back playing soon - get well soon Dan.

This, by far and away, this. Currently I believe we have something in the squad that money just can't buy.

It's a pipeline ffs, there's always something in it. What would be the point of having a pipeline otherwise....!!!!

Ahhhhh game over, early nite for me now, early flight tomorrow, airport at 6 in the bleedin' morning...!!! Nite y'all.

Burton Albion beating Sheff Utd, I kinda know how those fans will be feeling right now..... Edit - and I kinda know that I spoke too soon.... 1 - 1

Not sure, but somebody will have one with CAPTAIN on it though....!!!

... and how are the 'PUP' peeps sounding about now then...?????

Or 2 - 0 and still dominating the game...!!! Yeeeaaaahhhhhhhhhh

'uck me, only a knee, when will the rest of him be fit....????

Errr, admittedly, you have a point...!!

No, win this one, confidence back, draw glamour side, play well, loose narrowly, then focus on league.

Don't forget the to mention the lack of signings in your email, NC has a big wedge in his back pocket from the sale of Alex and he's spent fluck all of it so far. ffs.

Actually, thinking about it - I don't even know why there is an international break. Who are we playing?

England international football team - biggest sporting anti climax - every time, without fail. Talk about 'getting up' for the game - really cannot remember the last time that I was even overly interested, let alone 'up for the game'. Hate them.

Exactly, looking on the positive side, things can only get better for Alex. Arsenal remain one of the top sides in the country, he will have more good days than bad. Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

Why not start 2, one about what striker we might buy and then the other about what CB we might buy. I'm not sure that either of those subjects have been covered anywhere on here.

'uck me...!!! Somebody else that can see the light. We may have very rich benfactors but we do not have bottomless pits of money. Some people need to check out the word invest.
