We only paid a million for him surely his value has not gone up that much

Yes income from player sales was £12m yet we lost £5million

Yes I agree Steve which goes to show investing heavily in players does not lead to the promised land.

You really have no idea . The Bank wants £4 Million so please send a cheque and then get Lowe and Wilde out if you want

I agree with what you are saying but our immediate problem is that we need about £4million But no one wants to Buy Rasiak Saga Euell Viafara Skacel Thomas etc so we have no alternative IMO Lowe and Cowen are working half price anyway

It is all MLT's fault If he had not been so good and kept us in the Premiership for so long we would have been relegated years ago and would not be in this position today. I doubt if we every had the financial muscle to really perform at Premiership Level but it was good for a few seasons

I agree but how much money would a consortium have to put in and why would they do it

I think we are clutching at straws if Jan says he has not seen Andrew Davies play I would have thought he had not seen him play

So you are now saying JP is not telling the truth. JP was a full time manager in Holland last year so his trips to Southampton would have been limited

I am sorry but I really need convincing that there was money available to move us forward. Unfortunately nobody wants Skacel which is not a surpise really

How much were the dividends I wonder

Yes I am deadly serious I never thought we had sufficient funds to invest heavily in new players. I thought our problem was that no home grown players were coming through so the whole team had to be bought in , instead of having a few players home grown players like we used to have and then buying a couple of reall quality players. I felt players like Telfer Jacobson McCann and Crainey were not that good

Not much then

Yes I know I just feel I am tapping away here waiting for something good to happen and nothing really good has happened to SFC since December 2003 when we were fourth in the Premiership.

What Riches? If there was money to invest and it was not invested surely it would be still around somewhere

Well if Davies has been injured since March how could he see him play

What mistakes are you talking about The mistake in kicking out Lowe in the first place. Or buying second rate players on high wages to please the fans.

I disagree with your opinion because you have no idea what is going on on at SFC and his complete conjecture. However you may be right but all logic tells me you are wrong. Organisations I would have thought consult with people in them all the time I just want SFC to stablise and become relatively successful. Like you I am not very happy about the situation but hope for the best at least Pompey lost 4 0

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
