Interesting read - thanks for posting. As soon as the ''Friday'' announcement was delayed on the last day of exclusivity i just knew it was a sham. How they managed to drag it out a further week is beyond me. Believe me - we have had an enormous escape here. Can you clarify this Duncan...i heard that the reason Pinnacle were blaming the FL, was because the FL wanted to hit us with more points deductions - because Pinnacle hadn't correctly signed off the debts with the creditors?

Brilliant post, 10/10. No one can argue with anything you have put there. We should make it a sticky and force all the '''the world is ending!!111'' posters to read it over and over again until it actually sinks in.

totally. I've been reading around on some other forums, Stockport only have 16 professionals at the moment and Carlisle are playing Graham Kavanagh as a striker. Let's get some perspective and realise that we're in a better place than over 80% of league 1 clubs.

Skacel, Euell, BWP = left on free transfers (no sale..) Surman and DMG were sold during administration to help pay the staff. Since the takeover we have sold no one and signed 1 + Kelvins contract... with more to follow Yep, we're still a selling club. ML out!

lol. that's all there is to say to that

Blame Pinnacle, not this lot.

I don't really buy all this bedding in stuff. If you're a good enough manager you'll find a player who you feel can slot right in. AP knows what he needs and im sure he also knows who he needs. It's not going to be a squad overhaul by any means.

Jesus Christ. You don't buy a club for near on 15million and let it linger in league 1. You want a return, you don't get that return in league 1 or being relegated to league 2. Therefore you HAVE to invest into the team - FACT. ML is clever and so is Cortese - the liebherr family haven't made their fortune by being idiots.

Good news about Murty as well. Hopefully he puts pen to paper on monday - because he's exactly what we need both on and off the pitch.

You can't be saying sensible things like that on here...!

+1..

Sounds like last season! How is Patterson playing?.. (if you're there, which i assume you are...)

Be strong fella. Our thoughts are with you.

Occasionally - don't have a prob with it, you get the know the people around where you sit anyway.

I've sent an email to them...so i'll see what they have to say and let you know.

It's a family nickname - he's grown up with it.

It's mentioned on the echo site... http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4522985.Pardew_appoints_backroom_staff/

Yes, and he was one of the best players in the hearts game.

Interesting snippet on south today tonight.... they were previewing an interview with AP for next week...and he said ''If im honest, if the board look at this club in 4-5 years and see we're not in the premiership - i think they're going to wonder why'' doesn't sound like were not going to spend to me. When you have ambition to be in the premiership and a billionaire owner, surely there's only one way we can go?

in the positive ground, on about 1 or 2 points IMO

Good appointment. He did really well at Brighton and was then kicked out because they wanted Adams to get a go....what did Adams do? get them involved in a relegation battle and was sacked (he had a better squad at his disposal too) Stuart Murdoch is a v good appointment too, interesting that he's going to play part in our scouting system - he is another one who knows about this league.

I'll post again what i said yesterday as it's very apt. for this thread... We had no indication or leaks prior to harding signing...and that was just announced within hours one morning. People seem to be panicking that we actually do not have the funds - but i cannot see that being true. Why do you spend almost £15mill on a club to let it linger in league 1? You don't - he will want to get us back up and he will not achieve that without investment - Trust me, ML is not an idiot. Also...i don't believe Pardew would have joined us if he was only allowed to sign free's on low pay contracts. The money is there...it's just a case of finding the right players in a professional manner.

Our left side is excellent now. We even have more cover in the likes of White and Molly too (although i guess he may be off) At least the left side of our team is wrapped up...now let's start on the right..
