Turkish

Doesn't graziano look lean, handsome and fit. Definitely an upgrade in all areas :-)

Are we still in a mess? Any update crabs?

Good to see Turkish is MLTs comedy inspiration http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?40644-Saints-related-doubles

Oh Far from it sunshine.

We're we ever second in the premier league under cortese?

So it was an attention seeking look at me thread then.

The biggest shame is, as you can see from this thread alone, cortese became a divisive figure. With what happened on the pitch and with the academy during his time here he could have been a legend. As it turns our he's gone and the dust has settled a large section of people now of the view that he did a good job but was a c*nt, others glad he's gone with a few still clinging to the belief he is the greatest man who has ever lived. It could have been different. Of course there is no room for sentiment and you need to take a hard line sometimes but the way he treated people, fans, business with contempt and the way his ego ran away with him was a shame for him and for us, it ultimately cost him his job.

If his record of sacking managers is anything to go be then he can't take another job at the moment due to waiting for his contract to be paid up, he's in the process of starting legal action which will be settled the day before the court hearing, with Kat offering no explanation as to the delay.

Yep, that's about the size of it. Like all good dictators he duped the foolish majority into believing it was all about him and without him they are nothing and people lapped it up. The clubs PR was awful when he was here, his own was outstanding.

Some people are still pining for him sadly.

Sacked Andy Oldknow, banned nick Illingsworth, started to create the culture where good, long term members of staff felt it impossible to work under. Next.

This is of course true, although I for one am glad they decided to speak out on here. Along with Franks cousin and his insistence that we should not accept mediocrity I'm grateful that they acted and posted about it otherwise who knows what state we might be in?

It'll be part of their easyjet pricing model. £15 gets you into the ground, £20 gets you Into the ground and one use of the bogs, £35 gets priority entry and to blow bubbles as well.

Don't forget everything east from Grimsby down, that is their catchment area. There must be thousands of people in kent, Sussex, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk and Suffolk looking for a premier league club to support!

But you're forgetting you can draw an imaginary line from Upton Park down to Brighton, and north round the m25, up the M11 across to the m69 exit at junctions 21 and then Up the m6, across the m62, down the M1 and across to the north Lincolnshire Coast , And there isn't a premier league club in that entire area so with that catchment area they'd be tens of thousands of fans wanting to watch premier league football at the Olympic stadium. Not forgetting they get crowds bigger than us now and are a crap team playing unattractive football. Just imagine if they were playing good football in a nice stadium!

Why we spend £30m expanding the stadium and then reduce the price to fill it?

Keep sucking those lemons the reflex kid.

So what exactly do you think the owners will look at Adrian? Do you really think private owners will saddle themselves with £30m worth of debt to be worse off week in week out and eventually have to try and sell their assets with that debt on the hope That 2 year old Sebastian from Alresford and other a like him become a season ticket holders in 2036? The lovely ideology of money doesn't matter let's find the fans of 2030 by letting them in for nowt now doesn't really work in real life now does it, otherwise put 11+ tickets wouldn't be amongst the dearest in the country.

Quickly rectified by getting shot of the bad apple Contract release clause?

Okay I knew it's early days but the clueless new board seem to have defied the odds and despite being the biggest bunch of jokers since coco the clowns stag do they seem to have got it right in the transfer market, early days yes but the initial view is bang on, it's rare for there not to be a single mistake in the transfer market, even the flawless cortese got a few wrong, but so far despite being lamblasted by many on here they don't seem to have made single mistake in the transfer market.

Exactly, 3,000 empty seats. If anyone seriously thinks this was 3,000 individual seats all over the ground without any more than two together anywhere they are as mental as MLG. What we need to do is spend £30m to build 10,000 extra seats and sell every seat for £15. They would generate us £630k a a match and £30m of debt when 29,000 at £35 generates us £1.015m a match and no debt. Something about the German model, flexible pricing, FFP, and all that bol*ocks.

Officially 31,044 v man united in the 60s. Although I've been told there were other games where more were there but the official attendance was less.

So is it soon yet or not?

I see the 'we'd sell out if every game was £15' bridage are at it again already
