Mr X

sounds like we are second best in this half

GR & DO are our top earners on 60k a week J rod could be well within his rights to command something closer to that figure as he has in effect contributed much more than either of those signings, whether the club would pay it is another thing!

He would probably get away with the severity of these things incidents if he was in the league of Suarez were his talent is so big and he offers the team so much it would be crazy to get rid of him no matter what! But the truth is he's nowhere near that level and clearly has made a petulant plea that he doesn't want to be here, he see little saints as being beneath him. Get did now even if its a little an!

Actually I've got it we simply call it "The Halo" it unique memorable and saints related plus we can use Beyoncé as the team song! ".............I'll get my coat

How about all saints stadium? Haha no connections to the 90's girl band!

I will no doubt get stick for this and while I believe it to be an excellently written statement some of it is definitely the words of her "strong team of advisors" with "tell the fans what they want to hear" being a prominent message. I don't think we can read too much into it but it's definitely refreshing to at least get a to the fans statement

robbbbbbbbbbbbeeeeeeeddddddddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yoshida for lovren......... oh christ we are in trouble

how can you dominate a game and then let them back in it to such a pathetic degree?

we are f u c k e d not even funny now should have put this to bed long ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we are going to end up not getting anything from this if we keep switching off!!!!!!!

Allegedly the club have accepted the 7 million bid from west him and ricky wants to talk to them! could be just paper talk though

Hope we don't pay the price for failing to finish them off, sunderland very much back in the game at 2-1!!!

why why why do saints never make things easy! two nil up and cruising and now this!!!

oh dear!!!!!! comical defending

f u c k sake are you trying to curse us!!!

j rod really improving!

Not jumping on the bandwagon but Do Prado worries me clearly not a premiership player & hasn't done anything of note for years! hope to be proved wrong today though

He probably had a clever clause in his own contract! Haha

He was an employee of his friend and our saviour Markus do you think he thought oh the old gits passed away quick here's my opportunity! He would have known the next inline of the liebherrs would inherit the club. Even a banker of Corteses standing would surely struggle to get a 14 million loan single handedly

No they dont you are of course right but when you have more than two or three signings that don't perform it can become a problem

In summary yes cortese was an egotistical dictator but he made things happen and moved the club up a level he didn't just sit around and make excuses like some chairmen he had real ambitions for the club and though they were perceived as unrealistic he definitely had the drive and stubborness to succeed! SFC will continue but whatever way you look at it its a huge loss in my opinion. Aren't all success full businessmen flawed? They either have tremendous business acumen and no people skills ala Cortese or vice versa or some other compromise!

yeah she's a little fat so what?

Lowe is obviously the ideal candidate and favoured choice of most fans!

Allan sugar? Maybe poach Karen Brady? Haha
