They can't offer him a contract while they're in administration so maybe he'll be signed up for the Wessex League next year?

I think the key definition will be about the more than you 'earn' factor. Man. City have, if I remember correctly, a multi-million stadium naming deal with Etihad wh are owned by their owners. If sponsorship is to be included (and why shouldn't it be?) then the balance is tilted towards the club that can attract (or in City's close move a bit of paperwork around) the biggest spending sponsor and you're back where you started. I can't see it being legally viable to restrict the amount outside sponsors can put in it's just the legitimacy of the percentage of turnover that needs to have a formula for calculating it - I fear that there are always going to be rich and poor clubs whether gates, sponsorship or whatever other categories you put it undr. Now having to have a minimum number of home-grown players....that can't be bad for football can it...if you can only play a limited number of players that you buy in you could have the highest value bench but only so many on at a time. Hope this does go 8 pages...it's worth debating.

Although in fairness Algerians have plenty of historical reasons to boo a French anthem...more so than a couple of domestic finalists.

Adds to the whole 'feeling good about all things Saints' factor...a really nice thing to do..nice doesn't seem adequate but it is actually just an act that's just... nice!

Birch's function is to get the best deal for all the creditors...this is sometimes blurred in the rhetoric that he is bound to use in his (increasing desperate) attempts to sell the club as a viable proposition. It's been shown that isn't the case so many times but that faint hope of an idiot fan winning the Euro Millions still exists until the toaster pops for the final time. Whilst Chanrai says he'll not let liquidation happen his reasons for saying so (parachute payments) are diminishing by the week - the clock is truly ticking.

Sounds like you're sorted but for anybody else I usually stay the night before at the Moat House and then it's £6 per 24 hours in a covered car park with cctv. Don't often pay over £60 for the night and it's a relaxing start...not great if you've got a night flight I suppose and there are better hotels but the package is good.

In true P*mpey fashion they've probably not mentioned it drops to 25p after 10k miles...but hell, if the clot can buy bogrolls then Voldy can subsidise his Reliant.

There comes a point, though, that the administrator becomes responsible for debts incvurred unnecessarily that damage rather than enhance the possibility of the creditors size (or even possibility) of payout. At that point the administrator becomes liable for the ongoing amount (as I understand it) and I'm guessing that point is pretty close now..I still think liquidation is a possibility (subject to Chanrai's interest if proven).

That's dangerously close to humour!!!

I'd say like a fly to sh*t but I answered first.....

I wish they did tongue in cheek smilies Trousers...irony is not best served by the printed word!

Ah...the old 'She was wearing provocative clothing your honour' defence.

Done

:d:d

Away to Liverpool...Ricky on fire to be there, us an unknown quantity with the momentum of promotion....a big and football-appreciating crowd plus our record there over the years is pretty good. Then a couple of home games - Reading and Man City..in that order please!

Well put... I struggled to believe that any of the 'cool gang' ('Specials?) weren't just on a wind up and I think that two of them were/are and have now reverted to humour again...the worrying ones are those whose humour-gland seems to have gone in to terminal decline and read like they believe their own keyboard tappings...can this be true? Westwood has a purpose...he's an icon to detest... and not just by we select band of multi-wardrobeists. My scouse mate has been spitting invective for years so he has become the focus for everything that's putrid about P*mpey....can you think of any other club that is identified in this way? That fat, bare-chested Northerner from Wednesday - NB Turkish...he's uber but it's all paid for! - that gets 'Have you ever seen your d ick' sung at him everywhere is the only other fan that I can even remember and probably only because I sat uncomfortably close when I was in Itchen 1 one time. But now I'm in danger of analysing...the silly season has started Premier style...dune - my (genuine) congratulations!

It's good to be anonymous isn't it? I'd not want anyone to know my face if I'd dug myself in a hole as deep as you have today. I'd imagined that there was a grain of humour being enjoyed by your triumvirate but that seems not to be the case with you any more...best just throw the spade away-eh?

Took the kids to Hollands Wood out near Brockenhurst next to the Balmer Lawn Hotel a few years back....flowing stream/river next to it but don't do fishing so don't know if those who were actually caught anything.

You see that creates more potential faux pas situations...do I admit that I have wood, fibreglass and polyethylene boats...but no gaff - or would that be a gaffe? As you say - no improvement but much amusement which I'm hoping is being shared by the the protagonists...I'd be worried if I thought they weren't just out on a verbal jolly to celebrate promotion. I have this image of them all being dressed like The Specials(!) in the Ghost Town video (no,not you dune - you have as little fashion coordination as me)...you see now I'm thinking like Turkish - imagining men in different garbs?! I like promotion week aftermaths

Isn't it great...not had this much amusement since Corpulent Toy used to post on the PTS thread!!

Right back at you...

I guess it's freedom to do and dress as you choose 1 - Must conform to what a few have decided is acceptable - 0 FT I have enjoyed it though...can we debate what coloured seats we should have in the Premier League?

Oooohf! That must have hurt!!...You ok now we've got promoted or is it still wrankling? I really hope it was from a fan of a club that didn't win automatic promotion....

It was - can I still attend St Mary's?
