Sounds like Craddock is giving us the run around - we should have signed him!

I'm pretty sure that was in LifeLongsaints/HelpMeRhonda's blueprint to success. If only they had taken over

So you're writing off and judging Martin before he's even pulled on a saints shirt? Excellent.

Pardew confirms an exciting transfer window ahead.... ''We're going to get linked with a lot of new players so I'm not going to comment on them, I think it's unfair on the player and the clubs to dismiss or confirm anything, but we're just looking at a number of options that can take Southampton forward. "We need to strengthen the squad. I'm not going to talk about specific areas but we have to do the right business to improve. We've come a long way in a short time, but we're still some way short of Leeds United in terms of quality and that's where we want to be. "The fans want to see entertainment and hopefully our goals for record suggests that entertainment is there and we're trying to build quickly with a window coming up which means it's exciting times coming up, so hopefully we can build up the excitement levels further."''

A classic from back in the day from a skate - ''they cannot be that worried - they passed him as fit and proper, as I understand it under the new regs they also seek the information on where the money is coming from. So thats nothing new and it's new standard procedure for all new takeovers. Next....'' that fit and proper test worked a treat then...!

it also seems to suggest (as has been thought all along) that the wage money is transferred from another account a few days before the end of every month, the money is never ever sat in PFC's accounts.

Absolutely, it just seems to me though that the PL is doing everything it can to ''help'' them. but wages delayed 3 months in a row is wrong and needs investigating. I actually think administration right now is the best option for them. Take the hit now...stop delaying the inevitable.

i must admit, this is the funniest thread ever tbh. Golden thread of the century. i just skimmed back from the start, looking at corp a few months back gloating that ''LOTS OF MONEY'' is on it's way, ''all is ok'' ''we're rich'' it's taking it's time tbf.

''A club spokesman said: 'The problem was due to a file not being loaded properly at the bank. It wasn't processed properly.'' what on earth. i actually feel slightly sorry for the skates, they're being run by school kids who have no idea what they are doing by the sounds of it.

they shouldn't be allowed to get away with this it's a farce. it's the same every month and it wont change, they need to be punished somehow, rather than being given ways out by the PL every month.

we wanted Tyson in the summer, so wouldn't surprise me.

Tommy smith would take the mick out of L1. a top top championship player, he'd walk into our team right now.

saw that y/day, i've got a feeling that the people posting these on 606 at the moment are having a laugh.

this was on the Wiki page a few moments ago, before it was changed - ''He was signed to Southampton FC on 30th December. Alan Pardew the team's manager stated that he was a "lifelong friend of the successful striker, and looks to see Charles "Dribbler" Taylor slot stright into his side.'' i think people have too much time on their hands, or play FM2010 too much.

''Kweku Asampong Taylor is known for his dribbling skills on the ball, free kicks, pace, shot power, massive influence within the team, two good quick feet, adaptability on both wings and anywhere up front. He brings consistent pressure on defences with his deft touches, superb ball control and an amazing ability to get behind defenders and cross to fellow strikers. His skill has been likened to that of Rivaldo. In his best seasons he had an average close to one goal per game in the domestic league. He was once the top goal scorer playing 19 matches and scoring 19 goals. He has been regarded by some as the best local player Ghana has ever produced.''

4-1 that was embarrassing defending.

''there's only one milan...''

..

their problem is that they have debts to anyone and everyone in football, so it's pretty much a mangled mess. With us we only really had the stadium debt, which was held by Barclays, so it was a ''simpler'' process to sort out. This will take a brave person.

the protest plans are in full swing ''Picket the players entrance!!! That would send a firm message to the board if we prevented tonights game from going ahead

what puzzles me, is that this was issued before Christmas - surely they would have known about it since then? so why haven't they tried to fight it before now?

Wouldn't expect anything less from a Sun reader.

We were bloody lucky tbf, but as you say we were a bargain in terms of having everything in place. Training ground, academy, stadium, infrastructure etc - our debts were also pretty modest compared to portsmouths...
