This is nothing to do with "fanbase". This is everthing to do with justified revulsion at the pig-ignorant morons that people in this country are forced to live amongst.

Yeah, they are terrible people. If I had to chose between: a) violent pathetic sad men with nothing to offer apart from their waste-of-space progeny; and b) people who take an opportunity to star-gaze at some of the world's best footballers; then clearly it's b) that are the scum. Scum.

"On the pitch" started long before the dogs appeared. I think the dogs were a mistake and shouldn't have been deployed at that point, as it was obvious there would be a pitch invasion regardless. The Plod should have congregated aroubd the Burnely fans to ward of the thick idiots who thought it would be funny to run over there. Regardless of the Plod's errors or otherwise, I have nothing but contempt for the pathetic, mostly spineless, leeches that ran over there (and back again - pathetic ****s). You are ****.

I've spent loads of money in Tesco in the past years so I've no doubt they will be more than happy when I ransack the place next week. Thick ****s. -

--------------???-------------- ????----Perry----Thomas------Mills Thomson----James---Gillet-----Holmes --------McG-------????? Might look something like that I reckon (although I imagine there will be interest in McGoldrick). I think McClaggon will get plenty of opportunities. TBH, until we know the scale of the owner's (assuming there is one) ambitions it's hard to say, but that team with the addition of a couple of experienced players would do ok IMO.

We're absolutely fine. I can't believe the amount of people willing to lay into the fans. Look at some of the crummy little clubs in the Premier League. Southampton is a relatively small city with approx 230,000 people. When we have a resonable product at a resonable price, our gate is usually around or over 10% of the city's population. When we are in the Prem it is higher than that. Compare this with a club like Birmingham City, Hull, Middlesbrough, Cardiff.... etc If any of those were in our position they'd get about 10,000, and there's plenty more you can add to that (such as the Blue Few). Our away support is also good considering the aggregate distance we have to travel. We have good support. Fact.

Just crappy journalism IMO.

I've always disliked Leciester and found their support to be a bunch of moribund imbeciles. I wish Nigel Pearson success. I'm sure he will find it elsewhere. -

What a farce. -
Why on earth didn't you bury the hatchet with Crouch instead of teaming up with that incompetent buffoon?

I agree about the radio and insurance companies. Pretty irrelevant really. Especially as it was Saints radio and Saints branded insurance! I just can't see the point in this sham investigation. It would have taken them about 5 minutes of looking at the published accounts to realise what we all know! Or look at the website! By the sounds of what Fry has said, they were exceeding their brief at the end. Sounds like they finished what they were purported to be doing and then started digging around looking for "irregularities" etc... The fact is, the rules don't appear to allow for this BUT because of the nature of the organisation and the fact that without membership of it, clubs are buggered, they will probably get away with it. Would be funny if someone dragged them through the Lords and European courts one day but frankly, that would cost too much for a cash-strapped company. -

So if Salz takes over and is popular we can finally lay the ridiculous class-prejudice arguments to rest?

Nearly allowed it to eat in to the revision too much in the Summer of Allen.

I'm tempted to email 5 Live and ask them not to call him again! I respect what he's done for Saints and his commitment but a mouthpiece, he aint! -

On a further point - there is now no incentive for the football club to stay out of admin if there is a buyer on the horizon (unless they really do want to appeal). -

Well, indeed. I agree and ultimately that is what they have done. If they felt the need to spunk a load of money on forensic accounting that's their choice but by "legalising" the process they actually make our case stronger IMO. If they had just said, "this is manifestly unfair and it is obvious to the sense of justice of all proper people that a penalty needs to be applied as the holding company only exists because of the football club" they would be in a stronger position. -

p.s I don't think Crouch meant to suggest that the corporate structure was put in place to avoid a penalty in these situations. I just don't think he expressed himself very well. The reasons for this belief are: 1) The corporate structure predates the league's insolvency rules 2) The structure was put in place becasue the original stadium finance was provided on a limited recourse basis 3) We needed to back into a listed company If Mawhinney thinks Crouch's comments are in any way useful evidence he is an idiot because: 1) Crouch had nothing to do with the establishment of the corporate structure so how would he knw anyway; and 2) the reasons above. -

Point f effectively apes standard boilerplate clauses in commercial / financial agreements, the point of which is to act as a sweeper in the case of some other procedure analagous to an English insolvency event taking place - hence the reference to "any jurisdiction". It also anticipates a change in English law ie. "Administration" as it is now, changes into something slightly different but similar etc. It would not be designed to move the goalposts of the preceeding clauses but merely to capture events that are not strictly defined therein. If they are relying on point f to catch us, they are changing the goalposts as there is no other jurisdiction involved and there is no analogous procedure. Basically, they fecked up the drafting or didn't anticipate this scenario. Or didn't care because they are such a clandestine troupe of old-ties that it makes bugger all difference to their sad little boys club in any case. -
I expect they'll be terrible.
