Here's one for you. In my opinion Le Tissier will never be chairman of SFC nor a board member. It won't happen.

So then to sum up 11 pages of mass hysteria and wild speculation: Nothing is definitely happening but we haven't yet gone out of existence either. Is that about right ?

That's because town halls,regional councils and county councils throughout France and Navarre cough up swans as a public service,even to clubs with giant budgets like Marseille and Lyon. Imagine SCC giving us a couple of million £ and letting us play for free in a city owned stadium, 10£ would be very doable under those circumstances.

Don't know about that.the TFC got him from Lorient where he'd not been doing much for a while.Anyway he's a southern lad and the rain and cold of Brittany would p*ss him off big time. Yer average mediterranean dude doesn't export particularly well to the frozen septentrional wastes.

There's always one isn't there.

Schneiderlin is talent personified, whether he can express it usefully in Saints system is another matter.I've seen him for France U19s and he is good,but he requires movement around him, as does any continental european midfielder. I'd say honestly he is wasted on Saints. Did you see Gignac Um? what do you think?

One bid, all the rest is hypothetical. Hope the one bid we have isn't withdrawn and is for a reasonable amount. Can't see that we're getting anywhere fast and I'm afraid the bid may be for peanuts, less than players can be sold for in the immediate future.

Whether it was made up or not is immaterial, it drove the share price up to ridiculous heights and some people made a handsome profit, others weren't so lucky. It has always amazed me that the SEC didn't investigate that,as people said "it is Paul Allen" in the local rag and caused people to lose money. With hindsight you'd have to surmise that the price was artificially driven up and the bid situation declaration to the LSE only made it worse. Yet the bloke denied it at every turn, through Vulcan and then personally (I think)

Schneiderlin is a creative midfielder, whether he was played as one is a completely different matter.

What for and by who? We are currently in admin with no visible means of support, why would they be asking old kitmen who are receiving a pension to return? Doesn't make sense. Once you retire that's it,you can't go back full time as far as I know. Sounds like bollax tbh.

That's what I was thinking actually, we suspect (cos they've never been published) that the half year accounts would have shown another operating loss of 3+ million, yet we reduced our overdraft (probably a bit of + on player trading though cos we got a handout from the UEFA and an add on from Crouch amongst other things) But we got extra cash from Aviva,so they aren't going to let it go at a Marcus Evans type deal.Anyway the 32 million for 7 million won't apply to us because the debt isn't old enough to have generated income for them.Strange case Ipswich, in 2003 on exiting admin they had 35 million of debt wiped out, when Evans took over in 2007 they had apparently "recreated" 32 million of debt. Doesn't add up really, doubt if they really owed 32 million when he stepped in unless it was old debt renegociated in 2003.

Yes but then they got investigated by the undercover and eventually there was an application to revoke their liquor licence. The application was after Osman and le Tissier gave up the lease, the acts were during. Bad place to be involved with. Also what about this for a bit of Lawrie bashing, never seen this before although it's old stuff. http://ntsc-uk.domino.org/archive/index.php/t-54781.html

To be honest I don't think he'll actually be leading anything, very much a bit part player in the cogs of conglomeration no doubt. A symbolic figure rather than anything else.

Is it just me or is that mortgage going down at a very slow rate. Seem to remember in last years accounts it was 22 million,now it's 23.7 million which means in fact that it has gone up since last June. 7/8 years of paying off the mortgage for a net reduction of about 4 million isn't very encouraging to prospective mortgage payers is it.Whoever buys us out will want shot of that millstone as we obviously can't service it.

:(:(

To be honest Morgan just isn't used to playing with static crap like our front line. The fact that he came to us instead of going to skate with whom a deal was done by Strasbourg means that there is far more to his "transfer" than meeets the eye. His agent said so, Strasbourg said so. That none of you believe it is just down to you. We have an absolutely gash record with young players who don't fit the standard template of "English Football". Some of them English as well but successive managers have had no time for them preferring names and hard assed hackers instead. We would have a bloody good side if we got back all the lads who weren't good enough for our recent bevvy of managers and let the other clubs have the highly paid garbage instead. We have brought players to the club and just let them fade away because they didn't fit in with our "style" good players who've done alright for themselves elsewhere, Morgan will be no different. The word on the street around the Meinau said he hated Southampton and couldn't wait to leave because we just didn't play football but crude hacking.

Smith only had a 6 months contract I think.

I still rate Cotterill, he'd do for me.

£10 a week plus big add ons for goals scored and goal making assists, that's about the best I'd give him.Reduced to £5 a week in the eventuality of him being seen eating junk food in local hosteleries.

Shearer's doing a great job at toon isn't he,with Dowie helping him it would seem. Need a serious candidate, no more amateurs please.

He had his moments, but really since he was in Portugal in 2005 or something like that he has had a bit of a chequered history, blowing hot and cold and actually being thrown out of the first team squad at Troyes for lack of effort or something of that ilk.Been a long season for him though with the Euro and they Danish League and the early rounds of the Champions League. No doubt he was bitterly disappointed that no-one came in for him in January,mind you so were we.

Nobody has volunteered to give up their wage as far as I know. Some have allowed for it to be deferred to a later date, but we still have to pay them as preferred creditors at the end of the day.

The infrastructure of the club just cost too much money, big sales and low buys = no money. Doesn't make sense at all does it?.Record sale what 10 million or so from Walcott,8 from Deano,7 from Bridge,7ish from Bale, 6 from Beattie,5 from Jones,3 from Baird,7 plus recent add ons from Crouch plus all the bits and bobs that we've sold on a continual basis yet we have no money. We've got to have harvested nigh on 60 million in transfer fees these last 6 years or so .Something in the cost structure is top heavy and I can't see it being the Stadium really,true we wasted a lot of money on bit part player but honestly it just doesn't add up.

When do we have to pay the stadium charges, the interest and this years instalment,I think that's in May, perhaps tax money due as well.If we can't meet those payments i suppose someone could apply for a winding up order but then I'm no expert on the mechanics of insolvency.Wouldn't those bills not being paid increase the debt and make the administrators liable ? Anyway I won't give a bent farthing (over and above the ticket's I've bought recently) whilst Skacel and Euell are still there.

Which isn't even in India now, a real circus.KP would be better off here making some runs in one dayers for us and getting used to English conditions for the summer series against Australia than wasting his time being crap in South Africa. Still it's all about money money money I suppose.
