But selling the club to a wealthy investor is just what was needed to give WGS the cash he needed. Anyway, I don't think many fans were clamouring for the club to be sold because they knew that they would be just pissing in the wind.

There, I've corrected it for you FF. :cool:

That may have been true at some time, but I think it was no longer true when he came back the second time. Getting rid of Pearson showed that he cared more about getting back at his arch nemesis Crouch than he did about Saints. And I certainly don't buy the argument that he had no choice in the timing of administration. If he cared about Saints he would have clarified the situation with Barclays earlier (knowing we were on the brink), and then (knowing it was inevitable) ensured it happened a few days earlier. I have my theories why he let it happen after the deadline, but I don't want to be libelous. In an interview afterward Saints came out of administration, Fry said that RL and MW wanted to stay on during administration, and he (Fry) had difficulties convincing them otherwise. I wonder how long that took, and if these discussions started before the 10 point carry-over deadline?

+1

Doesn't this forum have about 8 skates registered?

Come on, I think your opinion has a chance. :cool:

Oldham win? Possibly. Convincing? I don't think so.

Thankfully it's not Holding-Willey.

Wasn't there a report that Saints doubled Lambert's wages from when he was at Bristol Rovers? 17,000 may be the break-even point now, but it would be a lot higher if Saints were still servicing the previous debts (including the stadium mortgage). I think the bottom line is that I see no way the club could've afforded buying the current team, and paying their wages, last year.

Have I made you even happier?

Neil Shipperley was utter shite IMHO. I'd put him near the top of the worst 10.

So in other words he's a waste of space?

I've corrected it for you. :cool:

"Don't miss your penalties."

Yes you did. \\:D/

Amazing how the Germans always win the lottery, and English players always lose. Yep, definitely a lottery, no skill or bottle required.

Maybe it's like the story of Mel Brooks' "The Producers": he can make money but only if it flops. In this case the ice-cream doctor borrows money from a bunch of suckers to buy a piece of crap, doesn't actually invest the money, waits for it to collapse (administration), and does a runner. :smt036

Only when we win. :cool:

Well here in San Diego I have these nasty buggers in my garden... At least you don't have to worry about having them in Blighty. Oh...... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/3194195/Black-widows-set-to-establish-colonies-in-Britain-as-climate-changes-experts-warn.html

:smt043:lol::smt023 And apparently "Tommy Forecast" in Latin means "Even Worse."

Errr....assuming Kelvin doesn't get injured in the next couple of games. If he does, it's a bloody bad move for Saints.

Oops, my bad. I meant Kent going for Notts ridiculous run target. http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2005/sep/24/cricket.sport1

Surprised non-one has compared this to Kent's ridiculously generous declaration in 2005 to hand Notts the Championship at Hants' expense.

Nicola Cortese = Saints legend.

Here you go, the link you can post to them that may shut them up: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1804483,00.html The Swiss national then earned a resounding applause by adding: "We can also say that it is one of the few English clubs that are currently debt free."
