But more than anything we need two starting centrebacks!

Baird back on loan to play the holding midfield role and coverfor centreback. Prutton to add some bite in midfield and play on the right. Phil Ifil at right back. Matt Holland is a possible fit midfield cover. Trundle on loan another. Eastwood and Tyson to play upfront. Murty for cover at right back.

If he did at least he stopped us going out of existence and cleated our debt if he sells us on in a few years as a stable club with a solid squad and professionally run how can we complain we should be thankful for what he has done and not complain about what he hasn't dome yet besides if he is going to splash the cash it will be next summer when we won't be on -10 points and we have a complete management team in place on and off the pitch and no high earners left on the books this season is all about consolidation

As an ex-spin doctor I wasn't that impressed with David Bick when he worked with/for Michael Wilde. They made a few gaffes to to be frank! Mind you I'm not sure that wasn't Wilde's fault looking back on it all! Ideally a good PR acts as a two-way communications channel - that means they'll be monitoring the message boards for a start! - feeding back what the various audiences are thinking, feeling and saying! but it is about spin - telling people what they want to hear - or making the bad sound good!

isn't he from Portsmoth originaly? so that would be a no then!

Murty, Oakley, Baird and Prutton would do for starters with maybe a couple of younger players like Nathan Tyson

Murty would provide some much needed leadership on and off the pitch. We used to have a mutual friend and went out drinking in Winchester several times - we lived there but Murty liked it as no one recognized him. That was about 7 or 8 years ago and I used to take the **** as Reading were a lower league club then! I guess I'd have to eat some humble pie if I saw him again!

I think you'll find Saints were the only club Alan Ball managed and didn't get relegated thanks to Lawrie Mac's guidance at the Dell! A DoF or Technical or Sporting Director role works well if its the right man, with the right remit and in the right structure. He should be there to protect the football manager from the board and also give football a voice at the top table the same mane should also have ulitmate responsibilty for the transfer and wages budget, the Academy and the Reserves - as well as sports science - not to mention player recruitment and player succession management the football managers job is to focus on the first team - coaching and training the players, winning matches, football tactics and all that stuff - making the most of the players he's got - and working with the DoF to bring in the players he needs to strengthen the team such a structure would give te club a long term view - and a 5 year plan not dependant on one man who could easily leave for another bigger club!

a third of Swiss are German in origin more or less! well its their first language anyway!

let them be bitter - f@ck #em! - we deserve some good fortune after all the sh*t we've had over the last 6 years! anyway most of the 'rival' fans I talked too were please we'd been saved - apart from the Skates - but hey they just found out the natural order of football on the South Coast is going to be restored - and a lot sooner then they were expecting it to be

didn't Lita and Coppell fall out big time!

who would do the running around if we had Rasiak and John upfront I think young Mills will do a runner to S****horpe - we shouldn't have let him get out of cotract Prutton wants to return to the South Coast apparently - as does Baird by all accounts!

You must have been the only one of us that didn't then Rob! I thought we were all there the first time we met Hone, Hoos and Oldknow when they wanted our backing. Sorry it was a couple of years ago now!

Lowe at Fratton - I'd laugh until I died!

that was Markus' sister - she is renowned for wearing white suits apparently! besides is it Nicola or Nicloa(i) - a man or woman? - if you see what I mean!?

If Andy Oldknow is back at St Mary's as COO does that mean Jim Hone is coming back as CEO?

he was elected on to the board by Hone and Hoos - meaning that along with Jones - there were more executive directors than non-execs a real broadside in the board room civil war at St Marys if he is COO does it mean Jim Hone is coming back as CEO!?!?!? Andy is a clever guy - perhaps not the best man manager it has to be said The old Saints Trust board (including Steve Grant, Ladysaint, Exit2 and Steve Godwin) got to know him quite well!

I can't believe Andy Oldknow is COO he was one of the three stooges - with Lee Hoos and Jim Hone - that spent the £7 million we didn't have - ousted Wilde and then tried to oust Crouch! please don't tell me Jim Hone is coming back to SFC as well! that's definately it as far a Crouch, Corbett and Big Mac are concerned then!

So who can we get in on loan from the Premiership then? Jay Simpson from Arsenal, Mark Randal, Jack Wilshere? I'm not sure we need both John and Rasiak - or Euell at all for that matter - and I think Kelvin is a goner already!

leave him in peace for God's sake - just be thankful he has saved our Saints!!!! give him time to appoint his people - a CEO and all that - and let them do his talking for him - we want a dignified, strong ad silent chairman/owner the last thing we need is another Lowe or a Mike Ashley! or Wilde with false promises! whatever you do LadySaint and Exit2 just don't try and phone him or he'll think all Saints fans are insane and do a runner!!!!

Rasiak, Saga and Thomas will all be going as there wages are too big for League 1. Thomas is on something like £8K a week - and he's the cheapest of the three. Kelvin will also be gone by Monday I exepect. I can't really see Lallana and Schneiderlin hanging around either. I can Saejis coming back if Wotte stays as manager though.

blimey have Forest actually seen him play - apart from for the youth team yeah he's big and strong and has a good touch - but no pace, a bit of an ego/attititude problem and a little bit lazy and just too slow in thought, mind and body for the CCC or higher

he shows flashes of ability - but lacks the desire and the application bit like Kenwyne Jones did! he's out of contract so we have no say in the matter anyway League 1 was probably his level - but money and ego talk he should have gone anyway - along with Dyer - after the night club incident - and then again after the late night fracas with fans bring Vokes in on loan instead - a Saints fan - and give White and Paterson a go I say and take the money for McGoldrick as well - to slow, too much ego, not a centre forward and not as good as Lallana in the hole

but they were owned outright by Mandaric, didn't have 10 point deduction and if they had debts/creditors could pay them! Surman wants to go as he's had enough of the instability at the club for the last two years - and needs to develop/progress as a footballer - that's not going to happen in League 1 this season he's taken a step back and now needs to take two forwards to get back to where he should be as an ex England U21

and other than an OK spell at Oldham that is about all he's done! was it the longest lucky winning streak in history? - quite possibly! Dowie was a disaster at QPR, Crystal Palace after promotion and way beyond that at Chartlon! and on the integrity stakes he actuallu makes Glen Hoddle look good!
