But then they should have done that all season shouldn't they, instead of moaning and whining about this chairman or that coach or no star players. Only 15K or so people in Greater Southampton actually give toss about professional football, the rest are plastics.

Who could honestly afford to throw good money after bad like that. Ridiculous suggestion really. SFC had money, they wasted it on garbage and now we have to stump up our hard-earned to save them...bollix. Let the administrators sort it out, they're getting paid for that.

See, told you Swansea would bullsh*t over Dyer. They did in January as well, offered about 250K probably in installments with tack ons. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4305678.Saints_will_not_sell_Dyer_on_the_cheap/

To be honest Harry it doesn't amaze me at all. People turned out for the Charlton game and we were rubbish in it's purest state.Why would they pay £24 quid for another dose of the same. The team should be ashamed of themselves for that performance,27K+ in the stadium and not one of them turned up for a vital match. Why should the fans bother any more?

What was harsh? Could have been any of the young players really. Lowe was looking for another Walcott type deal to get us out of trouble like he always had in the past. It just went tits up because no-one had the quality to fetch 12 million after 20 or so CCC games. Any of them might have been ear marked for the role but the ploy was obvious.Just that the new batch haven't been formed by Georges Prost's special brand of skill that's all. Lyon have a lad called Karim Benzema, probably worth 30 million at 21. The master's magic is still working, but elsewhere.

Nah but you've got to look at by who creates the debts. In our case it's absurd salaries to crap players, hence -10 points.

Our players are worth a big,fat,round zero because we can't (at the time of writing) afford to keep them. We have zero money and big wage bill to pay in 7 days time.

Burnley's motivation will be too intense for us I'm afraid. They're not certain of their play off place yet. Their game against Sheff U is no gimme and then Swansea will be breathing down their necks. I don't see us getting any more points t all. I was overoptimistic, I thought we'd thump Charlton and be OK, that day changed my whole opinion.

do people still buy those gas guzzling lumps of sh*t then?

Correct, a big club could find a few quid to get them out of hock at the bank.

How many more times does it need pointing out that John,BWP,Skacel and Davies are soon out of contract and no transfer fee will be obtained for them unless they sign new contracts just to give us a helping hand.

We can but we won't. It really is simple.

that would be the Redknapp who's got Tottenham 42 points from 23 games in the Prem would it? Great manager, didn't work for us cos nothing ever does. We could get Sir Alex in with Wenger as his assistant and we'd still f*ck everything up because of meddling by a bunch of amateurs in the boardroom and a pinchpenny attitude..

We got a tribunal 650K for best and 500K for Blackstock, roughly twice what we paid for them. I think, on reflection, that the Deano and Walcott affairs went to Rupert's head, he thought you could sell any old rubbish for silly money, hence the youth policy this season. Give Gobern a couple of games and con some bunch of mugs for 4 million for him must have been the theory of the affair.

Righto.

are you sure Skacel is out of contract? I don't think he is.

You're joking I hope. We wouldn't raise as much as we owe Barclay's if we sold the whole squad.

But where we're going to get the money to build a team good enough to get back into the CCC from is what counts. Upwards is not an option without money and we don't have any nor any means of obtaining any.Bloke at Peterborough ploughed in 8 million didn't he ? We don't have that sort of money nor the means to get it. That's what I was saying, upwards isn't an option until we find sufficient revenues.

I expect he'll go to Lyon in the off season anyway.

That would be Georges Prost then, perhaps he thought he was sending Morgan into the club he left with the type of players he produced at the Acad like Bale, Walcott,Best and Baird. Everything has gone tits up since Georges Prost left.

You sound very sure OSM, have you checked. We have kept going these last 10 years or so by selling players for big sums and buying lesser players to fill in. As we now have no-one left who will command a big sum we'll be reliant on the "academy" and for the crap it's turned out lately I wish I could be as sure as you. You must ask yourselves: Where would we be without the 50 or so million that we've received in transfer fees? I mean we would still have the players but could we have afforded to pay them. Walcott 10 million + Jones 5 million Bale 7 million Beattie 6 million Baird 3 million Bridge 7 million Deano 8 million Crouch 5 million profit. plus all the other odd and ends,and yet our record transfers are Delap 4 million and JokeDelgado 3 million. I put it to you that SFC cannot survive without major players sales and that that has been the situation these last 10 years. Why? because we don't generate enough revenue for our costs, but why I have absolutely no idea. Probably paying off managers all the time doesn't help.

Precisely :smt119

At least Mrs WS seems to have summed up the situation then.

still if he'd still been here when JP was gone Wotte would have drawn the benefit wouldn't he.We had a 3 match run when everything looked rosier, then something went wrong again suddenly, because we missed acouple of sitters through Surman and Euell, John might have put one away and things would have been different.
