Supposedly your champion would have been Houghton ? Such was your love in with NCFCs transfer policy early in the season ?

How is it back in safe hands if it was t before ? By your own fingers you have written that NC's reign of unquestionable success was funded by the leibherrs, well, shoukd that now continue it will be the sane money would it not ? Obviously NC had a fall out over something, my money would be on funding considering it would be mental to believe that the previously spent money was without prior knowledge to KL and those that held her purse strings. What exactly is the real interest ? Where is there anything I didnt know previously ? There is nothing exclusive is there ? I am genuinely glad that the book is restocked, it is a good book, Im also glad that our history is not being ignored. But Id still be annoyed if we do not build on the success NC has built and regardless commercial success of a FC is linked to success on the pitch. As for Duncan dont pretend he is innocent. He is not adverse to posting inflammatory nonsense about chairmen when he does t get his way. Like I pointed out it was t long ago that KL was in his poisonous sights. There are many on this forum that stay as neutral as possible even if they are saints fans. Info from them I find credible. This is just guff sponsored by a new selection of books in the Saints store.

Its never going to be found. For one reason or another.

Shame the little man was a control freak, he is up there with our most successful chairman IMO. But he had a fetish for spoons, who'd have thought eh ?

This really but back up their ambition and you have a chance, this isnt 20 years ago when you had great players staying at their beloved club. Players want money and trophies and we are a long way behind giving that to them. Without investment to match the players ambition they will go, and I dont blame them.

Morgan Called Up for France WC Squad (Official)

Ive never heard that -
I must admit I take FFs positive spin with a massive pinch of salt. He is easily the most kneejerk in regards to chairman and I seem to remember him damning KL not so long ago so its completely laughable that he is now RKs best friend. Realistically all thats happened is Ralphs played some lip servive to him and given his bank balance a boost, unfortunately its probably something he will need to keep doing to keep FFs faith in him. Whilst I am enjoying the new fan friendly approach it means naff all if improvement is not measured on the pitch. This is a football club not first and foremost and realistically NC was given much more rope due to his ability to bring promise to our club. RK can buy time with positive fan stories but needs to back the football team and I for one am sceptical. Should he adequately back us then we may very well be on the verge of something excellent but itll take action to prove it.

He is a fantastic manager and did very well IMO with what he had to work with, 7th-8th was the realistic finish to most of us considering the reletive (lack of) strength of the squad compared to the more established teams. Its an even better achievement considering the failed signing of Osvaldo who ultimately should have been the striker we required. Injuries played a major part to key personel. Im hoping depth will be addressed in the summer. Realistically MoPo is doing the right thing stalling no matter what anyone says. If I was him Id do the same, he is respected as a good coach right now considering how he has handled us this season. But to continue he needs reassurances from the board. That will be the sticking point IMO. He needs money and to keep the strong core.

The current recommended practice is not to ignore BTW, you need to respond. But I still wouldnt worry, just search for the parking company on moneysupermarket

Yup, Durham was correct, what a monumental meltdown we have had since NC left. MP may still leave, so could a few players, that wouldnt have been different if NC was here or not. The fact that Durham has commented means very little, he either speaks to incite a phone in frenzy or just genrally talks crap. Much like yourself eh Dune ?

They are different authorities, the EPL governs action in its own league and FL in theirs, thats part of the problem IMO. Both should have equality in punishments but it always seems the FA is powerless to big Mr Scudamore -

Saints injuries and modern medical technology
Smirking_Saint replied to Viking Warrior's topic in The Saints
Same one, didnt give the knee enough attention first time round, played well overweight and hungover etc The first pretty much ended my early coaching career and any semblance of a reasonable football career which Im trying to resurrect now -
In answer to the article in question, no, no its not. But if you train hard enough and are organised enough most employed 'tactics' are hard to beat. Tika taka to Barca was not much of an evolution, much harder on Bayern.

Saints injuries and modern medical technology
Smirking_Saint replied to Viking Warrior's topic in The Saints
Had the surgery twice, I believe this 'new' ligament can repai itself unlike that of the ACL however the new surgery ensures greater stability and improved chances of success. -
This basically, definately agree, and FWIW Id probably like to go back to stripes again as a nod to tradition. The latest two shirts havn't been as hideous as made out, certainly not as boring as some of the more recent striped ensembles have been. I like the changes every now and again.
