How the f*ck should I know, ask Mark Fry. The point is he has put his hand in his pocket.

Funny how Crouch pays the wages and Rupert's bum boys come out of the woodwork and try and slag him off (up to his pikey neck!). Face it, your horse paid himself a kings ransom while he was here, virtually set up his own redundancy deal, came back on £100k per annum for a 2 day week, and took us to the brink of extinction. You are a load of w@nkers, and hardly what I would call Saints supporters.

I would agree with that. It's poker time, and the good players don't want to show their hands yet.

It is offensive that you even have to ask. Crouch has bailed us out, but you are more worried about him lording it over us than you are grateful that he has put his hand in his pocket, again, for the club. A bit more than your man Rupert has done, isn't it. I don't think I'm the bitter and twisted one.

You don't half invest a lot of your time on this forum phil.

I don't like to say this to a fan of so many years, but what a w@nker for thinking this. Unbelievable.

Think you're barking up the wrong tree. The GS is not WGS.

I remember being told by a source very close to the club that the Paul Allen deal was going to go through 'in the next day or so' (don't wet yourselves this was a couple of years ago). My point is - be very wary of what you think you know.

I think we desperately need a period of calmness and reflection. A snap election now will play into the hands of parties like the BNP, with everyone so incensed with all the main parties at the moment. I don't think an election now is the way to go. I do think that anyone has had their fingers in the till should be deselected for the next election. I

How overseas are we talking. Are we talking deserts or the emerald isle?

Take your arguments about who is to blame etc. and f*ck off the lot of you. Boring c*nts.

The driving range beckons Frank, if I can drag myself away from the computer.

The whole argument is slightly retarded and a waste of bandwidth. A bit like the Echo website.

Well done Stanley, sharp as a marble.

What, you mean someone with eurovision?

So the Friday deadline that has become the Monday deadline is becoming the WednesdayThursdayFriday deadline? I think it weakens Fry's position if he keeps extending it. He would probably have been better off keeping it private.

Quite funny seeing people get so agitated over stories that have been on the Echo website all weekend. Do your stamp your feet and sulk when you don't get what you want for Christmas?

Anyone who wouldn't want Keegan here is quite deranged! Remember what division we are in. As much chance of it happening as me growing a 24 inch penis though (only another 23 to go).

Players value go down when the vultures smell desparation. Personally, I am more bothered with what happens to us. They are just another team to me (albeit with a minority of idiot supporters, not that much different to most teams really).

You are going to lose most of your decent players next season. You will be left with a team struggling to stay up, a crap ground and dwindling support. You are every investors wet dream.

Agreed. I think they know that, and that is why they have Matty on board. A link to the past that is not associated with the shameful goings on upstairs in the last few years. I also think he has something to offer, in the same way Niall Quinn does with Sunderland. Both seem to have their heads screwed on. Who better to galvanise support?

This thread reminds me of people trying to trace the rivalry between us and Pompey. Various theories are out there (including a ridiculous one about a docks strike), but the fact is it is all bullsh*t. I know a lot of people around my dad's generation who used to go and watch both teams, depending on who was at home. The rivalry never really started until the advent of the knuckle dragging hooligans and their need to hit people.

Maybe Fry should have bought himself more time by throwing down the gauntlet last week instead of yesterday. Doesn't a deal have to be sorted out by wages day? Our Administrator is flying pretty close to the sun. I hope he doesn't get burnt.

Duncan, do you think this is just an admin/legalese hold up, or do you think the poeple involved just don't have the money to do the deal. I hope it's not a case of Marcjacksonitis, I heard it was as catching as swine flu.

I'm a little confused as well, I also thought this was the case.
