I dont think there is anything wrong with the signings but that is not the point of the OP he is saying I think that posters attitude towards NC is completely different to RL. If Lowe did some of the things NC did he would be slated for it. I dont see the point of the thread really but as I have nothing better to do I am posting on the forum this afternoon. Going into Administration and getting bought out by ML is the best thing that could have happened to the club as with the PLC there was no real chance of us competeting in the Premier League without loads of money. Lets face it the only way Pompey became relatively was spending money they did not have at least ML seems to have sufficient for the needs of SFC at the moment

Me too The press Release when he was announced says The 40-year-old brings much experience into the role as he spent a decade as the head of the sports and entertainment desks at top Swiss banks, while also playing a role in some transactions to have taken place within European football.

So how much is ML going to spend and for what purpose

I dont think anybody knows but I would expect that it is being run as a business as NC would be paid on some criteria.

Dont think the club has been badly run except under Wilde for the past fifty years os so but with more money available hopefully we will have some success. If the club had not invested in St Mary's and the Academy it is unlikely that we would have Markus now It has been really the lack of money surely which caused our problems.

I dont think people are complaining just interested in how the club is being run

Who Steve Grant and Canada Saint?

What sort of Salary is NC on I wonder? Cannot be doing it for nothing and I wonder what his bonus is based on League Position? Attendances at St Mary's

I might possibly agree if it was not already in the Public Domain before the Echo published although I dont think it is a good idea to tell the press when they can publish

I think what you have mentioned is an embargo as other media outlets were reporting it

I know Newspapers always like printing bad things not good things thats my point.

I would agree with you but the Echo says the ban was nothing to do with an embargo so I dont really know.

That is what newspapers do unfortunately look for the bad angle No mention in the article that after Administration Southampton FC are one game from a Wembley Final

I agree no resolution for sometime I would have thought.

The dispute is in the Public domain I am surprised it has not reported earlier by a national Newspaper they like anything like this .

Yes OK a reasonable approach but there is money left over as we did not get Danns

Yes I agree but it staying in the Premiership that is going to cost money in transfer fees and wages it is fairly easy to say spend £10 m and get promoted from the CCC.

I appologise once more OSM for upsetting you but it is only a discussion Forum and SOG brings up an interesting but pointless thread. I dont think he is suggesting that Rupert should be brought back but how the forum acts towards NC. I am quite happy with the deals done in the transfer Window and look forward to promotion to the CCC which should not be too difficult to achieve by spending a little more. Getting to the Premiership and staying there is going to cost quite a lot and I wonder how much they are willing to pay

Lowe would not invest money which he did not have but I am really interested to know how much ML will invest to get to the Premier League and stay there. It is not going to be cheap

I agree with you but the salary levels are lower than last season gate revenues are probably up and the Stadium is Rent free.

Airst of all it is exremely rude to call SOG's post twaddle he is raising an interesting point. This is a Forum open to discussion not a forum where NC is right and RL is wrong.

Very interesting post SOG of course there are double standards but that was to be expected

Where did Puncheon play then?

Or he is a loyal CP Player
