Is this a "look at me" thread or what?

Still feel the same now we splashed 7 figures on Lambert?

Now that is a sensible signing - although it's a bloody huge fee IMHO! A poke in the eye for the "there is no money" and the "we've been taken for mugs" brigade.

What was wrong with "Jo"? :-) Maybe eelpie needs to clear his browsers cache :-)

You could argue that saints punishment was in the spirit of the rule. Like it or not the board of SFC (without Lowe) sanctioned loans from barclays that they could afford to repay to fund an attempt at promotion. The failure of the gamble had a price - admin and -10 points. You could also argue that funding a promotion push in this way is a form of cheating when compared to clubs who do it within their means - a crime equally punishable in the eyes of Barry Hearns. I think we got what we deserved, and have been blessed with a fighting chance of a quick recovery.

I embarrassed for you.

Ummm, highly likely :-)

Thanks s-clarke. Much appreciated summary.

That's a tad harsh IMHO It is unlikely, but not to the extent that is not worth a short debate on it.

Probably a major pain in the bum, but can anyone summarise the highlights? I am in France on an iPhone and the player required doesn't seem to be available. I haven't scanned the entire thread yet to see if it has been done already. If it has then ignore me - I'll find it.

Of course! That explains everything :-) Anyway, now I have crashed through the 1000 post barrier I can now retire from this place of misery.

Then you have missed the point too. Congratulations. One point on the board, with plenty of potential for improvement - or all signings done and dusted and spanked 7-1 at home. I know which set of fans are feeling better about the future at this moment in time. Still, next week it will probably all seem different.

No, I am clarifying for the dim witted ;-)

Nope. Why would I be? There are some people with the intelligence to get the right end of the stick. Which camp do you fall in?

Calm down. Where did I say that they lost 7-1 because they made lots of signings. I am not stoopid enough to suggest anything of the sort. I am merely saying that lots of signings can get the fans all excited, but when the season kicks off it can count for nothing. It's "not necessarily" a good thing. We have fans bemoaning the lack of signings, but would they want to swap places with a Norwich fan tonight? Of course it will all change in the coming weeks - but it just struck me as rather ironic. If you count goal difference, we are only 8 behind Norwich now :-)

Exactly - hence the phrase "not necessarily". It is about the right signings, not the quantity. I am sure AP will make the right signings in time. ...and don't tell me wise up you arrogant little *****. I like to bite too sometimes.

LOL - keep on biting you whingers.

Lots of people have been whinging about a lack of signings, but take a look at Norwich. Gunn said he made all his signings early to enable them to gel (12 was it?) and they get stuffed 1-7 at home to local rivals Colchester. Fans hurling their season tickets at him at the end! No matter how bad you think things are, there is always someone worse off.

I think you'll find that if we hadn't been in admin then all existing and past season ticket holders would have received a load of marketing guff along with a renewal opportunity. It is just time pressure that prevented it this year.

Is there an under 16 filter?

homophobic by any chance?

Lmfao don't forget the important qualification of a couple of decent seasons in championship manager 2004 on the PC

I guess after that barrage of vitriol you'll be back to not posting very often :-(
