Seems rather strange doesn't it. But is there any truth in the rumour that somebody was going to buy the club prior to administration - seems slightly far fetched to me but could be true

It does not say he is going to sign for S****horpe but he may if he does not get a conract here

Not so sure about a fee "Likely this summer I will be a free agent despite still having a contract with Southampton." said Saganowski, who of course will not be able to play out the rest of his contract due to the club's financial problems. "Some offers have already come in, but I will wait until the summer to make my final decision." added the Polish international. Legia Warsaw sports director, Mirosław Trzeciak also welcomes a move to Legia for Saganowski with great enthusiasm. "He is a good player, he would be very helpful to us. I hope we can talk about this with Marek very soon."

Yes well done but it is a shame it is not a striker that is MOS. We might have won a few more games then

Replaced by Keane

Gorman is free as he was sacked from Ipswich today

Depends who they buy surely but yes they may well finish in the top six.

Yes but they had financial clout and could buy virtually whoever they wanted. This post seems to be slightly contradictory compared to your one of backing the new manager which I fully agree with....

Thats not very good if the best available is crap that was the problem when Strachan went But whover we get needs to be given as much times as possible so I fully agree with your second point.

It might seem stupid but that is what had to happen Even knocking off £100000 or so off the weekly wage bill did not help either.

Close 310 for 7 Nic p 83 * north made under 20

Thanks Graham Baker looked like Tintin

Graham was good Who was that full back also called Baker who was small and useless around 1982 time

Or rubbish footbal?

Yes but I wish he was still playing for us

Sorry but last summer I thought the idea was to get the club into a better financial position and relegation was more than a possibility. As it appears the bank moved the goal posts the whole plan completely failed. We had to show to the bank we were cutting costs so we were getting in less experienced personnel. It is easy talking in hindsight that Morgan was not worth whate we paid for him but Surman and Lallana did not play well either and their transfer value has plummeted. I dont think it was an easy task to cut costs and to to try and keep in the Championship but at the time it appeared to be a reasonable approach with Svensson back in defence and the three I mentioned plus Holmes but neither of the five played at their best consistently or played because of injury.

You are right the fans are not blame just maybe a little 5% or less say. But we are not the only ones to be in a similar situation Just look at Norwich and Charlton and to extent Watford. If Reading dont get back to the Premiership they will be selling their players too and could be in trouble next season. There is a general problem with clubs being relegated from the Premiership with large wage bills and outgoings

Yes plus VAT on tickets and merchandise

I dont admit to be as knowlegeable as you but I did look up Pearson when he was appointed and remembered him playing.

Being abusive hardly enhances your case does it. Go on develop your argument and we may come to some agreement. I just think the finances were so bad that desperate action was needed to reduce costs.

He was not a well known name but like you I have done some research he was a in my opinion a Dodd like character I remember see him playing a few times.

Benji I am sorry but I am fed up with all this NP love in I am more interested in the future. We had to cut the coaching budget somehow and unfortunately NP had to go Some people think one thing others another about how and what has happened but no one really knows what and when decisions which led to our demise happened.

Obviously we can stay up but whether we will I dont know Considering how many dare I say it Lows we have had it is time we had a high. We played well at Reading out of the blue so we maybe able to do it again.

Yes you probably are Cant you realise other people may have a different point of view NP was OK lacked experienced and apparently cost more - SFC were obviously trying to save money so he went. If we had money it would probably have been a different scenario

Agree totally What about Lallana too?
