NickG I too do not understand these posts regarding keeping expensive players. We are indeed in serious financial trouble and we are not going to get promoted for some time so as long as we remain in the Championship I do not see there is a real problem.

Yes Totally Agree with your first two sentences but lets wait and see about the fullbacks although it does appear to worry lots of fans

Move on to what do you suggest?

Who were Nigels three best players Wright John Lucketti? This thread is not waste of time compared with other threads where I need a Crystal Ball like where are we going to finish in May and What will the score be on Saturday

Yes me too but Lowe and Wilde are obviously on board with the new direction the club is going and are giving their support.

I was not on the Forum last year but I was advocating Burley out from last September but as you say lots of fans thought I was completely wrong and George would lead us to promotion. I doubt if Jan will lead us there this year but there is the possibility that he may in later seasons and we should give him our support and forget about both George and Nigel

I will be surprised

Let's forget about Burley and give Jan our support

Dexter Blackstock certainly made me laugh when he went into goal

It is from the Forum there is another thread which explains it better

Yes I pretty much agree with what you are saying but a new regime may be able to work with JP in a similar way. I just like the idea of making a new with young players and then developing into a better team replacing say McGoldrick with Phillips would be OK in the short term but not in the long one I suggest. I dont know Shearer's coaching ability but Wotte and JP have played at high levels and have been coaching for a long time. Young players may well wish to learn from good coaches but in the Premiership when we tried it with the more experienced players it did not work.

Yes I agree with You I think we are getting too optimistic I dont expect us to be in the top half of the table for a couple of years yet

It is nothing new though is it

Well I would be surprised if we were in the top ten Probably in the bottom ten

Yes Very True we need to cut the wage bill in order to survive

Should it not be jcbs as its really diggers

Yes I agree a takeover without mega millions being involved would be of no real benefit

I have read most of the posts to this thread but do not understand what is going on. Is there any real evidence there is an imminent takeover and how did this thread start

It was all Matthew Le Tissier's Fault if he had not in my opinion kept us up for many seasons at the Dell we would have already been relegated and would not be having this sensless debate. However the main reasons to relegationwere injuries to key players are the start of the relegation season and the inability to appointment a suitable manager after Strachan's departure I and many others did not want Hoddle but in hindsight his appointment may well have kept us in the Premiership as realistically there were not any outstanding canidates that is why Wigley was eventually appointed. The main reason for us not being promoted were that other teams were better than us Derby deserved promotion they won more games than us. We never had a settled team so how could we really compete I feel Jan P understands this and we will do better this season

Dyer Right BWP Left Rasiak up front with John behind

Yes I was thinking the same and No Davies or Svennson

Sorry No I didnt There has been so much negative stuff being posted I assummed you were doing the same I apologise for my stupidity

Are you happier now it is 1 1 at half time I once saw Wolves score an own goal by Saints Skipper Tony Knapp within the First Minute 2 2 after ten minutes 9 to Saints 3 to Wolves at the end so anything can happen
