John B

I cannot believe that JP did not know Stoke were interested in Davies everybody in Southampton did but he will not know the exact situation every minute of the day.. I think he was being honest by saying he did not know exactly where the negoations were English is only his second language and he must struggle at times to get of his thoughts correctly in English. I also take more notice of things Posted on the OS than conspiracy theories and rumours posted on this site

Why can you not accept what Jan says at face value seems a very likely explanation to me. Agents would always want their clients to move He has never seen Davies Play

Is there any real evidence that Pulis is coming to St Mary's

JP has clarified the Andrew Davies Situation on the OS

There is an interesting article on the OS Site As described above. Nothing is as straight forward as we think. I think the decision to buy Davies and pay him large wages may have been wrong

Extremely Well Put We need to support the Club not continually whinge because eventually things will turn for the better

Why not ? I think Wilde's decisions are more questionable than Lowe's Everbody makes mistakes I certainly do but one has to accept them one cannot live in the past

Yes I agree with you Also what I do not understand is why he is rated £2.5 M whilst Davies is only £1.5 Mill I think we should let him go for £2.5 M most fans think he is not a fullback and I cannot see where else he will play regularly. He could then be replaced by a Lonee or Transfered player

Administration is rather extreme Lots of other people other than Lowe etc will lose their money too But whatever happens things are not going to look good for sometime and we have to accept it.

That maybe true but I would have thought his agent would like to move him on

It is a really difficult situation the board now has. If we do not get income in for transfer fees we go into Administration. So we want to sell players like Rasiak Euell Skacel etc there wages are too high but nobody wants them which I probably agree with( I could ask why we were paying so much in wages for these players over relatively long contracts but that wont help anybody) We are then left with the only option which is to sell our better young players which will probably lead to worse results and less income from gate receipts which may lead to relegation and administration. Not an easy call

Why dont you give it a rest and give the team a chance

our luck will change we are not doing too badly

Well done Robbie enjoy the game. Are you sure about the takeover

I would certainly have Baird and Svennson as opposed to Svennson and Davies

What are you trying to say are you trying to be clever ? If we sold everybody we would have no income would we but would have out goings

I do not think SFC unfortunately are bothered whether you and me are filled with confidence they just wish to balance the books. We obviously should never have bought Davies as we could not afford him

Alpine you are really a negative poster really anti everything which is going on you comments do not reflect the real state of SFC at the present moment. I am not sure why you are doing it but your comments are not really helping the cause. This not mis management at all part of the business plan would have consisted in getting in transfer fees reducing players wages and this is what is happening.

Mr Lowe is not paid to know about football he is paid to balance the books. Obviously Mr Crouch knows a lot about football but not a lot about balancing the books

I doubt if that is the case Svennson was going to sign sometime now

Yes I agree with you Also if we had managed to sell Rasiak and Saga we would be in a better financial situation. Perhaps we could now loan Baird although his wages will be high I always thought Svennson / Baird is a better combination than Svennson/Davies If Davies is rated at £1.5 million it does not make him world class Baird went for £3 million so I do not see it as a complete disaster

The club is in a really bad state Mr Wilde stated during the week there will be ups and downs. Well this could be a down so we need to support the club and not think relegation and administration is on the horizon. We do have Svennson who I feel is a better leader than Davies. Of course I am not happy but there will be further ups and downs before things get better

I agree it is only speculation on my part I know

I would take £4 Million for Davies it would probably sort out our financial situation I have always been a little concerned whether Davies and Svennson would work as they are fairly similar

Really I was not expecting that as a response but I doubt very much if a dividend would be paid then as I think it usually coinsides with the end of the financial year. but my original question still stands ie What happens if attendances rise due to good results and strong, physical teams are picked off by SFC during the remainder of 2008 . Would we spend money in the Transfer window to gain promotion or do our financial restraints not allow us to do that
