Barrow were in the Football League until 1972

I think Strachan is an average manager like others he has some good periods and bad periods. Pardew maybe the same but at the moment he seems better talks more sense and has good contacts within the game. I know it is different in League 1 than the Premiership but AP seems to be developing a team and getting the best out of the younger players as well as bringing in young players who may develop.

Yes a good response which I can agree with although I would have thought Cortose and Lowe will have probably had similar motives. With no debt and a modern stadium the current regime have a very good chance of leading SFC to the Premiership in the near future so things are really looking up. As alpine suggested sometime ago Administration has proved to be very good for the fans just hope things continue going well on the field and the key players keep fit.

If he is renowned in world banking what is he doing here? Only a question just really interested in his intentions and wonder

Does not mean it is going to happen does it ?

I think in three or four years they will be Premiership class I would have thought

As both Leeds and Norwich are in JPT action too I think I am in agreement with your post

I think I agree with you but it is a difficult call which is a good thing. Perhaps Thomas and Trottman will play

So perhaps selling players has not been a bad thing.

What sort of team do you think we will put out as the play offs are getting nearer should we rest players or go for the JPT.

Yes it is very good at the moment and with the promise of new signings the outlook is good .

Totally agree but it will take sometime to get a really good premiership squad together

Totally agree not FF as I have said before

Lambert his goals have been extremely important

He scored one for Bristol rovers

PS Have you read 'Full time at the Dell?' No not all of it but I do have a copy of it for sale

Waste of time

Went back to cover for James

Very True a very important match for Us

There is a difference between negativity and realism From my experience realism is often confused for negativity by people who not realise that their ideas are open to question By the way I doubt that we will get promoted without a number of talented new players I read somewhere that Pardew got in 29 new players at Charlton so there is some hope

Thanks for that I realise that players will leave if they want to but I was just wondering whether SFC would sell Lallana to get the best possible price. If he is going to leave perhaps it maybe better to sell him early and use the funds received to enhance the team - a difficult call

Any idea how much? If it is low and he wants to leave the club would have an interesting problem whether to keep him or lose a wad of money

Well I wish we had other useless players who will score over twenty goals a season

I think the result was that we won on Penalties . I thought we lost to Derby on Penalties and England have lost too many times on Penaties too in World and European Championships. Perhaps we should ask Avram Grant as he was involved when Chelsea lost on Penalties in Moscow for confirmation

So any idea what happens then can he leave on a Bosman or do we get compensation?
