We will all hear from topcat and smears soon regards the fact that this is all Cortese's fault.

How did you even sign these players ?? They just flat out ignored me when offering contracts

I don't understand this. Nor really picked his fights accordingly. In fact, what are you on about ?

This, although his performances have been better so far.

Difference being at a football game it could be classed as incitement, if unchecked, with large numbers it COULD cause a riot etc. (though it probably wouldn't) Its pretty much the same as being done for dangerous driving, you havn't really done anything but there is a possibility of something very serious to occur. I am with Shane. I do however think that the police should have actually stepped in an told them not to act like pr*cks rather than just stand and video, mind you, you really have to be a prat if your going to keep doing it with police all over the place with videos.

We could have got a chairman that swapped his ambition for being super friendly to the media

That would be nice. But an effective promotion march, especially within 5 years will need to be well funded, at least on the transfer fee side of things. I think we can have a sustained model as far as wage structure is concerned and tbf that seems to have started when Pardew and Nicola were talking about not signing players just for a payday etc. I think the Liebherrs will fund the short term expenses, for instance paying a large sum towards the training ground, any facilities upgrades etc and any reinforcements needed above the yearly turnover of the club. But i would hope we don't go down the Skates route of throwing money at players that aren't really bothered.

Dunno, what i mean is that we are lucky to be owned my owners rated fourth on the list of owners finances. They seem keen fund a 5 year plan and have spent good money in this league, they also are funding the training ground etc. Do you think if we were sold we would fall so lucky again ?

I agree with the sentiments however i don't really think billionaires are that easy to come across. Would we be sold ? yes Would we be secure ? yes Would we likely be funded aswell as we are now ? Debatable Not that i think it would come top that tbf. We are in a good position and should get promoted this season. Adkins seems a great appointment and the facilities are being upgraded. Noises of a stadium development if required. We are in good hands for once.

Quite impressed that you managed to take people in with this, inspired. Lol

Dune would never post again..............

We would have signed Forlan and not Delgado

I would have beaten you

I agree, i think that we could happily sell out St Mary's every week in the prem and so could benefit from a stadium upgrade however, realistically we would probably peak at around 40k i would say. Averaging highish 30's, perhaps around the 40 mark if we have a cracking season. 47k or more is a massive crowd and i honestly can't see us achieving that. Southampton is not a big enough city.

I think thats why he has given us 5 years to do it.

Nice to see NC addressing his Major flaw and doing some PR work and speaking to the media. Good idea if not a tad overdue. Good to hear some confirmation that everything is still in place for the 5 year plan. Hopefully some of the mongs will simmer down on the whole devil incarnate side of things.

If only we would have beaten Utd on that last PL game we ever played.

If only I could get decent pictures in the daily echo

Is this really an issue ?? Can't stand the Echo, horrible little paper. I would imagine most people watch the news, footie league show or on the internet now anyways.

Quite similar to mine, first season i won league 1 though with 99 points (closely followed by Peterborough on 96) and the second i am well top of the championship at christmas, i will be honest though, i would rather have another year in the championship to build. I only got 500k to spend in the champ, what did you get ? That said they did upgrade the youth and training grounds to the top quality ones, but now the club is finances insecure Pompey are in the prem aswell, *****rs.

Weston is my favourite ITK
