The problem is that some on here know little about football but know how to run a large football club

Surely COYWs with the sash

Cortese may be worried about the competition in the Championship with club with large parachute payments. That said if it stops clubs like Southampton going in to Administration that may not be bad

I dont disagree with what you are saying but to many fans NC saved the Club is going to get the club to the Premier League and to the more deluded the Champions League so they are really happy with him whats more he got rid of Lowe. So we will have to wait and see what happens in the long run

http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/8273180.Nicola_Cortese_s_worries_over_league_funding/?ref=rss I thought the deal was a take it or leave from the Premier League so he does have a point but the we are in League 1

If he is going to be out of his depth in the NPC there would have no point in us buying him I would have thought Whats more with Connolly Lambert and Barnard how often would he have played?

But it did not did it

Well I think Pardew thought it was

But not that difficult with such a large fanbase and money to buy players but lets see what happens in the next two-three years. Probably you may well be right

Surely you remember all the discussion with regard to an interview on Solent and Pardew's response about judging me after 18 months

How was it excellent going Public with his concerns and then not supporting Pardew until well after the season ended Leeds did well in the cups and got promoted He just comes across badlt to me but as you say it hardly matters

Pace or skill that is the question

Most threads are relatively futile but without them there would be no forum

Going very well, but some decisions have worried me slightly but generally not a fan of his especially how he handled the Pardew failure to make the play off issue

In Pardew's Report on the OS he says that no injuries have been picked up

I think the exertions in beating England may have had an affect on the team

I only wanted to know where the information was coming from now I know

Or winning 2-1 second half with the proper team

How do you know that?

Are the Second Team we are playing better than Thun?

At the moment Probably make changes after an hour or so

No lallana or Richardson then

Possibly FC Thun started pre season sometime ago as they must have a mid season break

Lambert scored a few too - I thought it was through skill not the Goalie being a Pratt

I looked on the BBC site today and we are starting the season one place off the relegation zone http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_2/default.stm
