In fact the CCC probably isn't the place for young or neophyte coaches. McCarthy,McCleish,Coppell,Dave Jones,Blackwell,Warnock, You have to come down to Martinez to find a neophyte. Even Coyle is in his 7th season of management already.

I'm not making any accusations about his personal lifestyle cos I just don't give a sh*t but everywhere he goes there seems to be trouble with player discipline and often financial woes start the second after he leaves the place.

I believe we actually had offers for players but they were laughable, not surprising when there are so many players available for loan in January. why would say Fulham want ot pay more than peanuts for Lallana when they can get a seasoned pro like Olivier Dacourt on loan from Inter Milan? Eventually loans have to be stopped, otherwise the Prem and the CCC will just become a parking space for every Italian,French and Portuguese player that's out of favour at his parent club.Financed by Sky Television

So many managers who should do better fall by the wayside because of their players. I believe that's been our case for several years, except for Burley of course he was just bad,irrational in his player wish list and bad at managing his players.After his noble efforts Ipswich,Derby and ourselves have found their way into deep financial difficulties.The scourge of football-George Burley. I see he is now having player discipline problems with Scotland, claims that some of his staff gave them the nod to go drinking of course, surely he's the boss and there should be no confusion as to whether going drinking is on or not.

Oh I don't know, 'bout 59 at the Dell,opposition was either Bradford City or Accrington Stanley, 2nd Game ? Plymouth Argyle, never forget those green and black shirts.Plus I think they hammered us.

He wouldn't be used to getting roughed up,refs here in the younger categories are very quick with the red cards for anything resembling dangerous or over aggressive play.Lads like Schneiderlin need 20/30 minute run outs to get up to the pace of the CCC (or English game) So many hot young French have failed miserably in England and then gone on to do great things elsewhere.Wenger knows this and his lads are nurtured till they're ready.

Perry is a good player but his lack of height and his lack of pace are beginning to get found out. Remember Lucketti? we'll be seeing him again at Huddersfield next season. Pity he wanted 2 years when we could only offer 1,

Believe me I've seen him playing for France U19s and he really is a very, very good player. I just don't know what's gone wrong. I heard he was very unsettled and hates England but it's just hearsay.

Wise might be going to QPR if they can't get..err some Spanish bloke or Paul Ince.

You're preaching to the converted, no-one on this forum or it's predecessor has been more anti-stars that don't perform very often than myself.

Yep, lived there for the first 18 years of my life, then for another 2 when finished at Uni.

Which is why players should never be contracted at unsupportable salaries. I wouldn't give a halfpenny for fear that it would end up in Jason Euell's pocket. Fans should think long and hard before giving up their hard earned, you know where it will end up.

All I remember about that day was going with a young lady from Moordown and a tub of mushy peas splattering all over a coppers helmet.

I usually do, both drank with us occasionally in the Bitterne Park Hotel.

Even then it wouldn't be enough. Forest will probably beat Coventry and then they'll be on 48 points. We're on 41 so even if we beat Palace and Burnley we'd be on less than them. we needed to beat Charlton,we didn't and that was the end of it for us.

Why? Players aren't charitable organisations.

With a keeper like Stepney you always had a chance, Buchan kept them in it, mind you Eric Turner kept us in it more.

Probably. 2 TV games with a goal inside 60 seconds has to raise doubts though doesn't it.

No-one wanted to buy them;it's as easy as that. In fact I suspect that Watford have recently indicated to us that they don't consider taking Rasiak off our hands as a viable option, hence very soon we'll be landed with another 3 months of his inflated salary. Probably drove us into administration,the prospect of getting 750K from Watford in the near future might have kept the bank at bay. Pure speculation of course but I can see it going down like that.

Not a patch on Scooby or Tommac. Those were trolls with a capital T.

There will be no minor shareholders. It will probably be a 3 man consortium with 3 equal holdings.5 million each.

Should bring in a couple of half eaten birianis and a couple of beer cans. And that's only at half-time.

Trouble is Ottery, beggars can't be choosers, the club needs a buyer and those men have what it takes-real money, not talking about it hypothetical Turkish billionaire money, real hard folding and the inclination to give it to Saints. Give me one Mike Richards instead of 346 Iranian billionaires any day.At least they'll come up with the swans, not like other pr@ts who just talk about it. I love it when so many people banter big money on this board, most of them don't have 2 halfpennies to rub together.

65p a share, it is Paul Allen, trying to hijack the club for free in July 2007, Gorman and Dodd, investment in 6 months every 6 months, do I need to go on ?

Lowe will never return to SFC, take it as read. Mrs Lowe won't let it happen again. Cowen is a different matter.
