Yes I think that as well but I would suggest Year 1 - Mid Table League 1 Year 2 - Promotion Year 3 - Mid Table League CCC Year 4 - Top 10 / maybe play offs Year 5 - Promotion to Prem but of course nothing is guaranteed

He is a professional footballer so in somebody's opinion he is good enough

I hope you are right but many have not been able to do so in the last five years

Nothing excellent choice I would have thought

They were one of the founder clubs of the league so have a long history

Seems what he is saying is pretty obvious and has been discussed here so many times Need to get in players to replace the ones who have left and to move on players who do not wish to stay. The January transfer window is probably going to be important depending on our League position at Christmas An interesting season to come

Dont think he is a Pardew type player but of course I maybe wrong

No guarantees in football however we did get to the play offs and with a bit of luck could have been promoted

Yes exactly of course I was only joking as if anybody from the club would contact me but in the past we all probably knew what the club was trying to achieve that is my point

I dont disagree with what you are saying perhaps they could let me know what the strategy is because I dont like to be kept in the dark. I also dont really know why Markus bought the club either

I would be really interested in a statement from the club as to their strategy as we are really in the dark about it. If we were on zero points I would have thought a little investment could possibly get us near to promotion but having -10 makes it very difficult. Perhaps we will consolidate this year and go for promotion next. Whatever happens there are only a few players currently on the books who would be outstanding in the championship in the next couple of years.

Lets just forget the past shall we and look to the future hopefully things will get better because they can hardly get worse You have a point of view I have another thats all it is no good arguing because we are not going to change one anothers view. Let us talk about now and the season ahead.

Very true but if Swansea were to offer a two year contract I think he will be off

If Stern is fully fit he should be kept but do we know for sure he is there were some reports of a back problem. We always seem to be picking up relatively old players who seemed to be continually injured

The problem is that according to the majority Lowe is responsible for most of what went wrong even when he was plainly not just accept that and move on I have

If Crouch is worth £12 m then MLT must be £40m plus If Zamora is worth £5 mill MLT must be worth £100m

Yes so the tactics were right in my opinion although we lost narrowly and could have gone into extra with a bit of luck By the way lots of teams have come to St Mary's to spoil our attacks and then score late in the game to win. Sometimes it is foolhardy to attack as has happened in numerous military battles from Baslaclava to the Somme

First game is Aug 8

Sometimes you have to realistic and try to stop the other team scoring too many. I think the tactics worked well until the last quarter of the game

Hampshire wanted the game to start yesterday but the ECB refused

I would have no problem with Bopara at 5 or 6 but not 3

Heart I would have thought. At the moment the team is not that good but hopefully that will improve a long way to go before we win the league I would have thought

I will be interested if any of these do come to us

Why can you see AP getting him in?
