  1. Hi there. Going to post small bits about what I've heard. For reasons I'm sure people understand some information is sensitive: January. Relevant club staff have been told to work until late on transfer deadline day. Suggests that at the very least we will be working to bring someone in. The club. Agreement seems to be that the club structure went to pot after we qualified for Europe. Apparently following this we brought in a load of extra staff in departments. The people I spoke to think we are overstaffed in certain areas to do with the club, with loads of staff doing jobs that are different from their job description. The board itself is apparently decent but the department heads are pretty rubbish and are largely the reason that things have gone backwards. Almost all decisions have to be run past the board for approval which means we have had a high turnover of backroom staff as many want to stay but small things like little pay rises or contract changes can take ages to be approved and staff get fed up and find alternative employment. We had a solid system for recruiting players and under krueger and Wilson things changed. Ross and krueger were largely responsible for the transfer debacle of the last couple of years. The club are aware that Les carried the can for a load of the decisions but apparently he was blamed for a load of stuff that wasn't his fault. Wilson was largely to blame. The carillo transfer in particular, loads of scouts said he wasn't worth the cash but Ross was adament that he would do well. Ralph. Decided to come to the club and use us largely as a stepping stone. Came in and promised to stay and get us up the table but then wants to leave and move on. Unlikely to stay for too long if we have some success. Lost rohl once he knew bayern wanted him. Big loss because he was the link between Ralph and the players. Even now Ralph is slightly isolated. Ralph really doesn't trust many of the hangers on like coles and kelvin. If you notice he rarely interacts with them and doesn't do much conferring on match days other than with the bald guy (can't remember his name.)
  2. Yes but if the reason he came was to raise his profile then it's unlikely he will want to stay for an extended period of time.
  3. I don't really agree with vigilante justice, but if someone had done something to my daughter I'd be enthusiastic about ending their life as quickly as possible so I'm conflicted on this one.
  4. Eh? Boufal stood and addressed the crowd. Looked like a celebration to me.
  5. Just need to double check it to make sure there's nothing to identify anyone and I'll repost.
  6. I doubt he will leave yet but next year wouldn't surprise me. I did wonder how we managed to attract him in the first place, it really was a coup considering how low our stock was at that point. He obviously liked the idea of building us back up and improving his cv.
  7. I was at the game. It was good fun, certainly worth going.
  8. Was it richard chorley who formed sisa and got all militant with everyone?
  9. Johnnyfartpants what happened to him.
  10. Yes I remember. Saints go wilde. Lol.
  11. Art once accidentally linked to hardcore gay porn on here when he meant to copy and paste something else. Hope he's alright as he was very old.
  12. Was it true that dune cut his phone line and glued his lock? Or was that something else?
  13. Nice. So it's the broad brushstrokes technique then.
  14. What was the name of the Liverpool supporter with a gangster avatar who used to sell pop art? Was it the don?
  15. Have you met all 17 million personally then? Impressive.
  16. I miss the w*nking emoji.
  17. Were you posting tubgirl?
  18. He was a pr*ck. Still posts under a new username I believe.
  19. I don't think anyone could complain if we got 15 million plus for vestergaard.
  20. They have the old members gallery on the way back machine. You can't see the pics but some descriptions remind me a bit of what was there. What happened to Tijuana Tim?
  21. Just had a look at b-anter on the way back machine. 12,937 total registered users in 2008. It was a superb site. Wasn't there a saintsfans site as well?
  22. Rebecca long Bailey is corbyn with tits. Nandy seems like a more centrist candidate, speaks well and sounds genuine. If I were voting I'd vote for her.
  23. He got punched in the head if I recall. Might have done some damage.
  24. Saint David. He rang me. Nice chap but clearly a fantasist.
