The Devalued Prime Minister of a Devalued Government
Window Cleaner replied to Johnny Bognor's topic in The Lounge
Well I don't fancy her anyway. I'd rather watch Oceans 13 if that was the only other option really. -
I used it on purpose.

What is wrong with the South Coast clubs?
Window Cleaner replied to sidthesquid's topic in The Saints
Well I'm sure you're right. However did you know that in Manchester there are 47% of the households without a car and in Southampton it's only 30%? Manchester is about 10% down on the national average on GCSE numbers, yet the average household revenue is still above that of Southampton which is well below the national average and even further below the South East average. To me Southampton is a relatively poor city because the jobs are mainly in education, health care and retailing (these make up about 42%) I am not saying your average south coast fan in less passionate but is certainly more discerning what he does with his money,maybe because of higher educational standards. -
nearly finalised according to Sky. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11688_5121566,00.html Edit the title for me would you please,someone with that magic power must be looking in Thomson, how crass of me to get that wrong-again.

The -15 at Leeds was for some sort of dodgy dealing or other. It was not specifically linked to the administration itself but to something untoward during (or on exiting) administration.If you manage admnistration according to everybody's rules about it there are no automatic points penalties other than 10 points (whenever) for going into admin in the first place,unless of course you're a recividist..

Bof Labour MPs have always been a bit on the iffy side,remember Southampton's very own John Stonehouse ?? I worked with his sister at a holiday job once, Lady Mayoress she was because her Mum was mayor. I'm sure she might have had an inkling that he hadn't really drowned himself. Mind you the others aren't much better, Lonhro, Profumo, mind you Christine Keeler and Mandy Rice-Davies were top crumpet, better than a couple of iffy TV films. -

Well yes, you're probably right, I only sort of half overhead half of Sky's pitch on it yesterday. -
Oh yes he would, he's a very very stubborn man.Plus he doesn't decide all by himself you know.In fact being seen to battle against admin at all costs would be a + for him in any buy out attempt should administration be finally inevitable. I think He, Wilde and Cowan are probably putting in a wee bit of money from their own sources even now.They want to stay up and get next season's pactole,it was the winning post from the moment they took over again. Whether we'll stay up is 50/50 but until it becomes 20/80 we'll not go into administration and perhaps not even then. Depends what they've got lined up as sure fire player sales for the close season.There may be documents of intent for the sale of the few remaining values that we have to keep the bank silent if not happy.

Most players get over it fairly swiftly and get fit and then play football again. Pulis seems to be suffering from latter day Owenpahars syndrome, nothing heals up as expected or if it does something else breaks whilst it's happening. Pulis is a football manager's son, perhaps he played through far too many injuries in the little leagues just to please his dad.Now he has no recovery powers left in him. Happens all the time, if I had a euro for every kid I've seen destroyed by over enthusiastic parents I'd move to the Bahamas.

But going into administration wouldn't stop us going down any leagues. In fact it would probably accelerate the process. We have few players who would bring in much of a fee but whatever was proposed would be accepted and they would be gone. Years of work down at the academy would be sprayed around like pig manure in February for very little income. So we'd have even worse players and no money to pay them. The punter through the gate next season because Lowe and Wilde were no longer in charge wouldn't change much. The club has been losing money for a few years now, it's not 16K League 1 crowds that would change that.Saint's core fanbase is about 15K,whilst playing the likes of Palace,Derby and QPR we get a couple of thousand away fans in.Won't get that many from Oldham and Southend. The debts still have to be addressed in a serious manner, there is no buying the club out for 5 million and starting again you know. It needs serioyus finance and we won't attract that in League 1.

Isn't Lloyd James still suspended for the Charlton game?

Oh Ms Smith knows her way around an expenses claim form apparently. Apparently she pays her husband (and claims for it I suppose) 20K a year to be her assistant, when he has time off from watching porn, Oceans 13 and some animated cartoon films of course.She has claimed (according to Sky News) buckets of folding for a room at her sisters, a dining room table,a sofa,a kitchen sink and a whole pile of other stuff. The woman is a profiteer of the system,why should she worry about 20£ for a couple of films when the rest runs into C of Ks. -

I thought that she lived round at her sister's anyway. Probably why the old man was watching porn. -

Yes but how many times has it gone down before? Why do the paying public have to fork out for their TV and Internet links? It's just a joke. do not forget Maggie T forewent some of her salary because "her husband was a rich man". -

Including dodgy films at the taxpayers expense?? -
Looks like Bravo is really laying into them, we had them on the ropes, now? not so sure.

What is wrong with the South Coast clubs?
Window Cleaner replied to sidthesquid's topic in The Saints
In olden days this region built ships, mined silver,repaired railway apparatus,handled large passenger liners and most container ships, built atomic bombs and had sizeable garrison towns, now all that happens south of the M4 is gaudy commercial centres and catching the 7.45 to the smoke. -
I think they've worked out that giving you a free ticket with a home shirt bought actually makes them more money than just selling a cheap ticket. So it's a tandem effort, probably write both offers up from tomorrow morning, first light.

Strachan didn't know what to do with players like Svennsson, told him off for a back heeled flick in training apparently. Didn't know what to do with blokes like Delgado either, if fact talent in it's purest form when unallied to huff and puff and graft was a foreign language to WGS, and as we all know he had no time for foreign languages.

So now any bugger can play on the hallowed turf
Window Cleaner replied to alpine_saint's topic in The Saints
What's all this about hallowed turf anyway.Will it not be resurfaced in the summer ready for next season. Might as well get a few quid out of a few people before you rip it up anyway. Most years the Hampshire Senior Cup final was played at the Dell, the reserves played there, Southampton Boys played there,I played there even.Only since we've had Staplewood has all that stopped. The turf certainly isn't "hallowed", might be just as well if the players actually trained on the pitch at St Mary's ,perhaps they'd get a better feeling for home games. -
Are you turning your lights off tonight?
Window Cleaner replied to bridge too far's topic in The Lounge
No ; Lithuania-France starts at 8 35 and if I turn the lights off I won't be able to see all those Africans that play for us now. -
He said it was formal, those are the niceties involved in formal letter writing.
