I dont know how you can say that, really. What evidence is there that LM at any point stopped the club going out of business ? MLT kept us almost single-handedly in the PL a few times, but at a time when money was not the be-all and end-all; if we had been relegated in 2000 instead of 2005, would the chain of events that nearly led to us being wound up with debts really have played out like that ?

You are just plain bonkers.

I am totally astounded at the amount of stick and abuse being directed at NC on here in recent days. The man who is masterminding our return to the big time and who has overseen putting a smile back on the faces of (most) Saints fans. What the f**k is the problem with some of you ? Do you want the club to fail again ? I love the contribution to our history that LM and MLT have made, but it is history. If the club fails, all we will have is memories and old paper-cuttings to remember. I find it utterly TRAGIC that some sort of open warfare is raging between old club legends and the current management, and subsequently between factions of fans, but if I am force to choose a side (which I dont want to), it MUST be the current management - they are taking the club forwards, and without them there would be no club. Why dont you all stop obsessing about the feud, let the individuals involved carry it on amongst themselves, and celebrate being top of the NPC in a promotion position for the PL ???

And what an obsessed dork you are. I knew you wouldnt be able to comment without mentioning HIM...

*sighs* I despair at an element of our fan-base. They seem to want a return to the comfy, under-achieving, unambitious, parochial b*ll*cks we endured during the 15 years preceeding MLs buying of the club. WHY ?????

Wooooo !!!

Suppose this was bound to happen sooner or later.. When did we last fail to score ?

Charlie Austin again. What a f**king surprise.

Hypo, I have defended your perspective and your right to be a grade A negative c**t on here on the past, but you've outdone yourself on this thread. Give it a rest with the f**king attention-seeking.

come on Leeds (never thought I'd say that...)

I have had some dealings with Roke Manor over the course of my career. There are some seriously smart people working there.

Hehehehe. Poor Cornelius...

Whatever, I bought one of the mugs over the summer and it has helped me no end since I got back to work.

Meeeeesa like this....

A simple question with an extremely complex answer. I simply dont know at the moment. Do I enjoy following the team more nowadays than back in the Ball/Souness/Jones/Branfoot days of the PL ? Hell yes.

Yes, we should try to keep a hold of him.

F**k me, talk about squad depth - we just played the "B" team...

F**k me, the negativity in this place even p*sses me off sometimes.

I am not sure I am looking forward to the Premier League. What is its attraction, really ? Will we see much better or more committed players in the red-and-white than we have now, really ? Also I personally dont need to w*nk over all the foreign mercenaries from the other teams when they visit St. Marys, and I also dont care about the media attention so much. Its too much fun where we are now; maybe if we could win a cup or two it would be perfect. Then we get the odd European excursion as well. I understand that financially it is important to NC, of course.

This, much as I love the job Connelly is doing for us. All those that are adamant that Connelly is better are being a bit disingenuous.

Yeah how p*ssed off was Carr ?

Just seen the highlights, wondering how Carr didnt get sent off. Lallana was incredible.

Just seen it on SaintsPlayer. The movement from the Saints team was gobsmacking.

You havent heard of Jane Austen, Florence Nightingale, RJ Mitchell or Sir Isaac Watts ???
