Website being down really does strike alarm bells, Saints were not this deep in until in admin if I remember correctly, that was the only time we struggled to pay players and staff. So why if RL had a cheque for £6000 bounced are they not in admin?, are they issuing cheques but not covering them? someone has to see they are trading insolvent surely if they arn't even making an attempt to pay there way ,whats the Department of Trade and Industry doing surely they oversee this area? It can't surely rely on the directors to decide, staff will be incurring bank charges , they can't even get a payday loan as they don't know if let alone when they'll be paid. Anyone sussed who the other two companies are yet? Printers for the matchday programmes? Surely the announcement that wages maybe late is another admission they are insolvent as they are unable to meet their commitments, FA and EPL need to take the bull by the horns now, how can they allow them to potentially take on more debt by signing players, surely the PFA have a viewpoint after all its their members , what advice are they issuing as a union? are agents involved in loans? if so whose paying them? heard this morning now three main groups the haves the have nots and the not paid yets!

will they exist though? Feb 10 and wound up? game 13th or 14th ?

Go on then who is the worst pundit, my money goes on Garth Crookes who has to give the longest answer/opinion to any question or subject but closely followed by John Barnes.

beards, tried in my 20's gave up now in my late 40s and bingo it works , however theres more upkeep to a beard than shaving everyday!

at least when Saints went into meltdown our attendances went up, and now they won what 90k in prize money but will have another win bonus to payout so once again probably worse off after the game than before, lets hope we don't draw them as wouldn't want to fill their ground for them.

in the days of Pirate Paul and his stall outside the Dell it almost certainly wouuld be a Tee Shirt by the next game Lambert and Barnard and smokin, good to see a win and humour

didn't we have a player training with us, out of contract ex Coventry? name escapes me or does signing Barnard mean he's been released? Stock, Danns or maybe we could buy a Pompey player and get paid to take him !!!!!!!

add Paul Hart to the list, unfair dismissal ?

Well you never saw the Liverpool v Wolves game in December then? Referee Andre Marriner showed the defender a second yellow card - but only after being surrounded by Liverpool players for incorrectly cautioning Christophe Berra.

Now seems there's the matter of £4m to Udinese to account for as well, so that plus this months wages at £2m, £9m to 'Gayman' . Sol Campbell £1.7m Paul Hart also due his severence. Then of course as people have said they will be due some installments on their sales but of course they'll be due to make the next installments on their purchases. Can there really be any club out there that would actually loan or sell a player to PFC? and if they sell any player they can't replace them, how many registered players do they have? could they get to the point of needing to sell and ending up with no players to fulfill the fixtures list?

yes a firesale but under an embargo the money from any sales goes via the FA, so the HMRC may not necessarily get to see the money, thats why they are going for the winding up order, they are no longer a preferred creditor the biggest worry is that their mess drags more clubs over the edge

just had another thought didn't Saints get refused by the first administrator as they thought they wouldn't get a sale away and there was insuffient funds to run the club? they may not have admin as an option, if the admin cannot run it due to lack of income?

they need to go into admin just to try and see the season out if nothing else, but as they believe they are in the right Jacobs et al = L**e and the winding up order will be applied before they get a chance to get to admin. can they apply for admin even if a winding up order is granted or is it too late then? would Albert from Hustle be able to find the money?

Can PFC afford to pay for Coco the Clown sorry Westwood to change his name again to John formerly known as PFC Westwood ? Post date the cheque til the 11th Feb Or perhaps the Saints Web should sponsor a player for them, if they are that desperate for money be fun to see Saints Web as a player sponsor in their programme!!!!!!!!!!!!

of course now they are in the next round of the FA Cup they'll need another loan how else to pay the WIN bonus !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Judging by the fact the club want to control all communication over transfers would they not hold back info on injuries so as not to give the opposing teams time to plan alternative team strategy? Could be a scratch and maybe blurred vision, no need for any treatment except rest, maybe nothing at all but the fact Pards is buying must mean he see's a gap, if it was injury cover then thats why loans are available surely?.

well maybe not a big money signing but remember its a TEAM game, don't need outstanding individuals in each position but it needs TEAM players. DS character maybe one of the attributes he's signed for, captain at age 20, the back four has been pretty quiet, RJ needs a talker with him otherwise I think he loses concentration towards the later stages of the game, when Murty or Perry play theres much more communication, KD only bellows after the problem not to prevent it developing.

Thomas whenever i've seen him make an appearence, (injuries have really hampered him) never seen him turn in a bad performance or let the team down. I say offer new short term lower wage contract Pulis, Molyneux and Gilett never going to feature here again release/free transfer whatever Paterson, Mills, yes out on loan Holmes, well lets at least give him a go Saga just shoot him and Forecast Interesting one is Poke, currently out on loan but what is the long term plan will he make it? One other name that was on here before is Saville, anyone got any reports on his progress?

perhaps you don't grasp that Lowe wasn't in control, The bank was, they set the OD limit, he exceeded , that was his reckless act, businesses trade on trust , however Lowe knew there was no money, simple view yes, too many clever asses in the banking and business world have caused untold grief still stick that he was reckless with the business knowing the bank would bounce the cheque which meant the poor sod due the cheque got absolutely FA in the pound then again who provides services to customer without doing a DB credit check? or insuring the approved credit limit? still thats nothing to do with is Benali banned is it ?

yes because it was reckless in the first place to place the order for the goods that if he was in control of the business and as astute as some make him out to be he should of known there was no way of paying for. the cheque was of no use because it bounced !!!!!!!!

appointed Gray appointed Wigley allowed player power to remoce Sturrock and relegated to league one and -10 points due to his reckless issuing of cheques and forced into admin, when he must of known the coffers were empty but admin does mean ML got us cheap, some in a perverse way lowe got us the investment that he had no intention of finding NC is the man in charge, he's the man giving Pards the go ahead to buy or loan so whatever decisions he's making currently on the pitch they seem right, maybe behind the scenes he's a taskmaster but lets face it the complaints about tickets etc have been few and far between . Benali banned? anyone asked he man direct, someone on here must know him directly

bournemouth/poole circa 300k , yes well quite a few Saints fans in a town thats not interested in football infact name a seaside resort town that has a good following for a lot of fans its more than the cost of a ticket its the cost of travel and the investment in time as well

James, slow on the turn, unable to read the player against him and keep him on his weaker foot, which may mean either inside or outside. To often he needs to lunge in desperate attempt to stop the player only to get skinned. If he holds the player up, slows the game it gives the CB's the GK and the MF a chance to get back and cover ,to often crosses get put in and we have a GK who doesn't cope well with crosses. Midfield or maybe he's the rear of the diamond, if Pards gets to coach him to defend but without being the last man then I think theres a place for him. RB isn't his best position the same could be said of Fish though he's an LB but gets brought on in LM Each part of the pitch demands specialist players if we are to progress and not players who can make do, we need the best in the division or rather the best blend of players

Well this season for the first time I bought season tickets, last season I was one of those that stayed away whilst Lowe was there. I take in the occasional away game , so not quite sure where NI's debate puts me, I think the bigest problem is a lot of people have fallen out of the habit of going to games and it needs results to ignite the interest and provide the motivation to get along to SMS.

always thought a player would challenge it as Bosman did as a restraint of trade, not being able to transfer , and very surprised no one has. the other thing I think it has done is drive up prices as panic buy's invariably cost more
