I dont mind Liverpool as a team but dont like the arrogance of some of their supporters expecting a top four spot as a divine right similar to some of our fans perhaps in football you have to earn the points I think they will struggle next season

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/8724605.stm I wonder if he will take any Liverpool players with him.

I just think Patience is required we have the nuecleus of a good team which will be added to in the next few weeks. Even if we performed as well as last season we will get to the play offs so whats the problem

I am really dreading the season if results do not go our way in August and Mr Cortese shows more signs of of apparent arrogance with regard to the fans a little bit of communication would help. That said Cortese has every right to run the club how he wants and we should have a very good team more than capable of getting promotion. I was at a Football Memorabilia Fair on Saturday and most of the fans from other clubs expected us to get promoted. So I am very positive that results over the whole season will be very good but worried if the high expectations are not met during the first few games

and Erivine

He can still bowl Lumb out in First Over seems to struggle with spin

Team Hampshire: Adams, Lumb, Carberry, McKenzie, Christian, Ervine, Razzaq, Pothas (W), Cork ©, Briggs, Wood Cork Captain !

ok then

Dont see why he should be picked - he is hardly a Hampshire Player

It does say on this WEB Page being Grumpy is good for you http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8339647.stm

The bloke appears to be pompous and arrogant and probably looking to make a quick buck

Or perhaps you will have one pint less:(

Dont know but at the Oval I bought six tickets for the Test Match and the booking fee was on each Would you be happy if Teco charged a fee every time you bought something

It is because he is a Tory he does not like Stealth Taxes I would have thought Not being a Tory myself I dont like Stealth Taxes either

An Update http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/8196108.Saints_boss_bides_his_time_on_signings/ I wonder who the player is they may off load to Bristol Rovers

I dont disagree with what you are saying but I feel an installment plan is quite impractical as we are now in June. Ideally season tickets would be sent out after the final payment

I would suggest that an extra £3 per ticket is going to be quite a lot of money

I think Steve knows more about what is going on than most on this Forum

Ever heard of Computers but you are right it would only work if it had started in say May

I dont know just dont like club owners earning vast sums of money at the expense of the ordinary fan.

I Just want a friendly and reasonable club which caters for its fans not a method for somebody to make millions But we will have to wait and see what happens

Seems pretty obvious he is involved for serious financial gain

The Wife's Aunt thinks Willie Walsh talks a lot of sense;)

The bigger picture maybe that NC/ML may want to make as much money as possible in the shortest time and sell the club for a large profit

I am please that somebody else thinks that too
