Because some players are in contract I would have thought

Sorry but I disagree you as sometimes quite agressive in your postings Perhaps confrontationally is not the right word. But I totally agree with the sentiments of your post to reserve the right to disagree with posters who attempt to rewrite history or to present conjecture as fact. Which is my point totally that is why I sometimes get involved because nobody can be totally wrong or even totally right. The past is the past and people have different slants on it there are so many ifs and buts. I still think that the way we were set up and because we had no significant backer and star players we were bound to be relegated from the Premiership

But surely we have money to by a some decent players and we do not have to just have frees.

I think they are all similar looking for confrontation.

I agree It is like players trying to get others sent off not good.

If he gets Murty then Two strikers at least one CB and Midfielder

Lets face the only way we were going to prosper was with a rich backer. We have that now and a free stadium. So things will improve its a shame that Pinnacle bid because we have missed a month of team building

Yes that is a problem due to the Pinnacle **** up

Yes plus another striker or two I would have thought

I cant really see the current team getting there this season but there seems to be a good chance next season

Yes I agree with you plus Brett But he did get the best out of Beattie who seemed to lose interest after he left and has never been the same since

Could not agree more but getting a replacement for Svennson was going to be very difficult . I just think the defence was getting near is sell by date and the team peaked in 2003

Is this overspending or overspending wisely http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4505089.Euell_ends_costly_spell_at_Saints/ The first I would have thought The Euell signing for me was start of the move to Administration but I am not really concerned noe regarding oadministration as it is now in the past

So nothing to do with the players then It does seem a bit strange

But they had a decent team we dont

Mind you can say that about loads of players I would have thought

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
