I thought it was NC who bought and saw the oppurtunity using ML's money. I agree that ML may not be interested in making money out of SFC but that may not be the case with NC its only a thought which maybe wrong

Yes I realise about German Clubs but I was just suggesting that if he was just looking for a football club for fun why not look for a German or Swiss non top class club to buy but that of course that may not be possible. But my main point is that SFC will be worth more than was paid for it when we reach the Premier League. So that would be the right time to sell if a buyer can be found I agree that apart from the big 4 or 6 in the PL, no-one is making money. The rest are slowly bankrupting themselves maintaining the status quo.but clubs are still worth a lot of money to buy. Buying a Premier League Club for £12m or so and investing a similar amount seems very good business to me. Whether or not this will happen is of course not set in stone but surely it is a possibility for NC to become super wealthy

So why did he not buy a Swiss opr German Club. There is money in Football if and when SFC get to the Premier League it will be worth more than he will have invested

I agree with you but I thought he played the best I had seen him in the last game of the season against Southend I think he was a pretty good player when he was younger

We are talking about free speech and tolerance on this thread something you seem not to agree with.

What has it got to do with you what people post Get a life

good because he has not been banned only had his season ticket revoked apparently

Have you read the First Post of the Thread by any chance because you dont appear to have done so because that is what is being discussed not whether NI has been banned or not

Surely it is because he is NI that he may have been bound I doubt whether any old Joe would have been banned

The pride tastes alright in the Avenue but I suppose that is a little nearer to Chiswick Decent London Pride at the Behive White Waltham Dog and Partridge Sunninghill Prince Blucher Twickenham Green

Very true

Your not just a pretty face

So what would you do if you could not buy a season ticket after following the Saints for 40 years By the way talking to the monkey never works you need to speak to the organ grinder

Despite repeated e mailed requests to various members of senior management at the club and attempts to speak to them on the phone I again have received no reason for this happening or until yesterday anyone who would actually acknowledge my correspondence Seems reasonable I would have thought that someone senior at the club had made the decision

The point is not many people like NI

I think the Saints and the Echo are part of the Social Structure of the City and the football club should not be just used as a means for making money

Having a rich single owner would appear to be a good idea but of course he can do what he wants unchecked which obviously is not good. I always have had a bad feeling things were not going to done for the benefit of the club or the fans but for the benefit of Revenue accurred I think Ducan Holley discussed the situation well last year

Not a very good situation I would have thought dont remember things like this happening before. But we have financial backing so most fans wont care

Yes as most care about their club

Seems a little extreme I would have thought I thought Nick was a Saints Fan like you and me and should not be banned if true by the Club or most likely Cortese

I agree but we will have to wait and see if it is true

I met his mother recently but she did not mention the incident

You do seem to have problems analysing other peoples ideas dont you What i think Alpine is saying is that it was no surprise that that England played badly during the World cup as their performances were poor leading up to it. So it is quite possible that if Southampton's Preseason does not go well the first few league games will not go well either. It is also possible that the first few games will go well but we dont know. I would expect us to start performing better but that is not guaranteed - we were not very good at Farnborough and I was expecting us to play better at Sutton but that did not happen
