Was getting worried that Adam Hammill had been left out - first name on this team sheet for me

just the one? Not nearly enough!

out of football league or out of existence - don't mind!

I agree, hate managers not been given time and hope he does well. What is worrying is 1) See him as an impact manager 2) A decent performing team have taken a considerable turn for the worse since he came in

Sacha Gaydamak casts doubt over Portsmouth owners http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/dec/31/portsmouth-sacha-gaydamak-winding-up-order

or Middlesbrough's view of Strachen when appointed and now!

edited to make sense!

Sky sports news just said Colchester have denied he has signed - didn't say they wouldn't sign him tho

1) We are in this situation because we are totally debt free - not even borrowing for our new training facility (with terracing if you need a ground?) 2) You do realise that, due to his huge wealth, Liebherr has spent, in comparitive terms, what a "normal" person might on a motorbike. People do that for fun, and then spend money looking after it - he doesn't need us as an investment - we are small fry financially to him.

if he can do that when missing most of the transfer window and attracting player when we are 10 points adrift I am quite hopeful for this window

Think it will be quiet today. Next stages are; (my guess) 1 - are players paid? 2- are any quick sales of players made? 3- is the embargo kept on for window? If the answer is yes to these over the next week then surely they are doomed?

who? The best forward in the division signed shows ambition surely?

lol! Not even convincing yourself! Some of your other points maybe taken more seriously if you were more honest.

its not just who scored last I think Papa adds more to our game

How about the big four being our rivals in 10 years?

OS says 3 league and 4 cup goals in 8 league and 3 cup starts. Not sure if thats up to date

if they go out of existence could that mean one more team promoted from each division!

I still don't get it. If all the tales of woe were accurate surely they would have gone bust by now? How bad is it really? What will happen if the debts are called in? We were in a different position in that we were in a lower league with good support -so it was not hard to make us economically viable. As it turned out we ended up with a sugar daddy and are debt free, possibly even making money. But with their salary bill, low attendances, no training ground owned, poor stadium (albeit no mortgage) what options would a administrator have? Assuming the administrator clears the debts, selling players, they would surely be destined for certain relegation. The administrator would then be trying to sell a CCC club with no assets. Would think would find someone, but with money to rebuild?

Good idea

papa 100% for me

I can. I can honestly say that it would not make me feel any happier, or more proud of saints if we had been competing with likes of Huddersfield years before I was born. Irrelevant to me.

MOM so far, small number of votes, on post match thread
