finance not my thing, thought it was agreed in principal but happily accept that is wrong - initial report I heard on solent that day, from accountant in meeting was "this is a very good news day for skate bastards" well almost word for word! Seemed to say everyone was going along with what was offered.
Saints do not have a board.
NC has openly said on the radio that he is not going to have one and he alone makes all the major decisions.
If he was going to sack Pardew it would be a decision he has made.
I am guessing he is not the sort of guy to be easily talked around.
If he was going to sack him, do you think he would do it at the end of the season (which he hasn't) or arrange a meeting, then re-schedule the meeting just to say "you are fired"???
sorry, didn't meant it clear..
delay in announcing STs has probably been due to the potential changes to seating plans, also just because he is not able to move away supporters doesn't mean other changes aren't happening
