Before the Revolution.

Is it 4 yet?

It's funny, when we were at uni we managed to run a sports club with 90+ paying members and four full-time teams, liaise with the relevant governing bodies, utilise top class facilities, organise travel to matches many miles away, organise numerous social events with other clubs, obtain sponsorship from large multinational organisations, come to arrangements with pubs / bars, organise overseas tours, maintain an operating profit, get absolutely plastered.... God knows how we managed it; we were lazy mongs who spent most of the day in bed.

TBF if someone wants to buy their own pint when it's my round, I'm fine with that.

When you have a drunk hand-shandy and it stings a bit and you feel like you need a slash for ages after.

I really think that continued concerns about Admin are unfounded. I doubt we would go into admin even if we were relegated. The whole strategy of the board seems to have been to make the club solvent, going forward, whether relegated or not. Clearly football success has taken a backseat to cost saving; I don't see how anyone can possibly argue with this premise. IMO Wilde and Lowe came back in to make the club sustainable, bugger what division it is in in the short term. I disagree with their strategy and think they have missed the point. I disagree with the notion that a football club should be run for the benefit of a few small-time shareholders. I don't doubt, however, that they have slashed costs to the extent that our cash outflow is now such that the relevant bank will want to continue supporting us. It is worth noting that we only need to find about £3m a year to pay what we owe to Barclays and Aviva - there is nothing in it for them to wind us up unless they think we can't find £3m a year or unless they think our position is irretrievably bleak. Bear in mind that they couldn't care less if we're in League 1 or not, as long as we have this circa £3m and we're not on a massive downward spiral financially.

If it was any other bunch of incumbents I would find the notion of a meeting only every three weeks quite galling. As it's this bunch, I am quite relieved they are rarely around.

It's ok. I actually felt a bit of a tool when I read the OP again because he was quite specific and stated "football chairmen". On second thoughts though, I make no apology for giving Stanley's post only a cursory read.

Stu, did you do this?

Mao.

He's looking for an enigneer. FFS.

I agree. He would not have allowed all 3 to go. This is because he's not a cretin.

I remember Lowe and Wilde saying the same thing when Pearson was fighting for us......... eh?..............oh. And people say Crouch is belligerant and ego-driven.

Sounds to me like there are some retards with drums / chav mongs who bang seats up and down at the back of the stand. Not only should they shut up, a sterilisation and/or dispatching would not be out of order IMO.

Which one was it? TBF Southampton has some **** clubs. Edit: Beaten to it!

Beatts again!!!!! MASSIVE

I'd love it if Beattie scores. Love it.

No, that can't be a professional footballer. It just can't.

Oh ****.

Who's the obese beardy in the Preston replica kit?

Look what you've done! Just look at it! I hope you're happy. It's your fault.

The OP poses the question of the pig-ignorant about business. It's like the "the fans are to blame for where we are because we didn't appoint Hoddle" morons. There are hundreds of potential candidates. Hundreds.
