No I think it is the other way round Lowe reduced the debt but Barclay's reduced the overdraft limit. Which made it impossible to continue

Yes that was probably the best one I ever saw There was also the League Cup final v Leeds where we were 1 0 up after 5 or so minutes and hung on for a victory with the whole crowd so tense.

Yes it does seem unbelievable but at the moment Crouch has not denied it but of course he may do in the future only time will tell

The greatest memory I have is driving up the M3 on cup final day totally convinced we were going to win

Yes I agree very pleased that it wont be Pinnacle.

According to SKYSPORTS the Swiss want Wotte to be the manager for the coming season But it was not certain that there would be a coming season

Of course both MLT and Crouch if they paid out money should take blame.

Has he gone yet?

I dont think we deserve it but the FA/FL say clubs which go into administration should have 10 points deducted so thats that.

Yes I think that was mentioned somewhere else.

I am pleased that Pinnacle have not bought the club as I was never impressed with what they were doing or saying. I thought getting Leon and MLT was populist and suggested that they had little else behind them

I too agree fully with what you are saying as a fan it is virtually impossible to run a club successfully. Hindsight shows us as Chairman when he took over in Jan 2008 he should have sold players to reduce the debt but as a fan that would have been ridiculous as he believed the playoffs were a possibility.

I thought one day it would get better but you are right it does not.

Yes you are right in fact the only player we sold for over £1m was somebody we bought after the EXECs comment which was widely rubbished at the time if I remember

Exactly well put I dont think anyone is knocking him for that but some are questioning whether the things he is doing are in the long run the best for SFC

Did you realy ever think that the Pinnacle bid would ever lead us back to our glory days we discussed the other night when lots of us went to Belgium. I never was impressed with any thing I saw them produce in writing or on TV/Radio without even bothering with whether they had money or not.

I dont think that Pinnacle ever had a realistic plan of getting SFC back to the Premiership. Most thing written and said appeared a little amateurish and involving KK and MLT appeared populist. But as there did not seem to be a viable alternative was accepted by most people . Perhaps we should have been worried when it took such a long time for them to go into exclusivity.

Yes I think you are right I would have thought they would have had plans and bids to account for a No Deduction b 10 point Deduction c 20 or more Deduction or perhaps the plan for c was to walk but that would not be very clever as they would have wasted time and money. I would also have thought that they should have discussed the FL stance before entering exclusivity

Have your thought that if Crouch's alleged involvement with Pinnacle had not taken place another Consortium could have taken us over. It is a possibilty but of course not definite. Pinnacle may have had the money to buy the club but did not do so because of the FL and the attitude of the fans and the Echo

Leon undoubtably a Saints Fan may have shown wrong judgement on a number of occasions but he as spends money he cannot be critised. Whether he has made the awful situation worse only time will tell.

It might affect other potential bids

What did they actually say then

Who with

I dont think calling Jackson a Liar is very clever do you?

Yes probably quite a lot
