Our players are going to be 100% fit all season ? Substitutions have been banned, along with tactical selections ?

You know what ? I could have lived with that. But we got rid of Saga too..

LOL. I think you need to read that little exchange again, mate...

I am fed up of trying to point out that Saganowski was mis-managed last season........ And when banks are losing BILLIONS of dollars a quarter, using this as an argument against Saganowski's wages is the funniest thing I have heard on here - EVER.

Who is assuming that then ? EVERYONE IS UP FOR SALE IF AN OFFER COMES IN.

But that's not true, is it ? Besides, can you see Lowe handing a part of the fee back to Aalborg ?

This assumption SJ must be staying because Rasiak is going - bizarre..........

Seeing as that would involve the team I have supported all my life losing and sliding nearer the abyss, I doubt it. However, I am sure the opposite applies to the likes of you if we win...

Let's see if me and "my ilk" are a dying breed in 6 weeks time, eh ? Wonder if you might get a pm from a nice mod over this post ?????????

Amen....

So getting rid of Saganowski saves £300K a week, does it ? Riiiighhht...... This discussion gets more and more ridiculous as people bend over even further backwards to defend the indefensible.

lol !

My Plan B, for those that have asked, is to take a more discriminatory approach to which players should be shipped out. I reckon a couple of senior pros could be saved, and with the correct man-management, would become productive members of the squad again. I am convinced that, if the Chairman were interested in doing so, he could make a convincing argument to the bank for saving a couple of players that the manager feels could make a difference. I dont believe Portvillet has had the opportunity to argue such a case and try to work with any of those players Lowe is trying to get rid of. I also feel those wages could probably be saved elsewhere, at least partially. As that 10-point list of conversation topics with JP has already indicated, he fears Lowe will sell players without consultation. One player I would have definitely saved is Saga. My annoyance at the Rasiak news is just a cumulative reaction at our massively reducing our attacking options and quality. Oh, and NickG, why do you feel compelled to remind everybody you are ignoring me whilst making sniping comments about my posts ? Sounds like attention-seeking to me. Also, why do you dismiss my posts as a wind-up and cannot accept I simply have a different perspective to you ?

lol

Let's see how McG and John goes on Saturday, as you wrote. As for Killer, I am not expecting him to play on Saturday.

How revealing. I support Southampton Football Club because I like football and I come from Southampton. It's not exactly rocket science. As for the rest of your rant, if you dont understand that I and others have grave concerns about the direction of the club on what is clearly the very last throw of the dice, then I cant help you, sorry.

They have to play to do anything. They were both fine the season before.

Provided a CVA can be agreed, its only a 10-point deduction. Three games with a rejuvenated Rasiak and Saga playing. Go Figure.........

Why has it dropped ? Should the forum be full of a succession of posts saying "Come on you Reds" ? I dont understand the outrage and aggression with which critical posts are responded to - do you ?

Sorry, it is complete nonsense to state that the players are not interested and cannot be bothered considering the environment they were in and the person who was managing them last season. In 2006-2007, Rasiak scored 20-odd goals in half a season, then popped up and nearly rescued the play-off for us. In 2006-2007, Saganowski score almost as many goals as he had starts... Are you trying to tell me these guys are suddenly shiit players ? Rasiak was humilliated by Burley mid-way thru 2006-2007, and last season was Saga's turn.

Seeing as the style and system will be out of the window - once it either becomes apparent its not competitive in this division or that we dont have the players to do it well enough, and we will need to revert back to something else but wont have the players to do that either - I am afraid I cannot "accept it and move on"

Well said.

The best sound for her to experience at the game would be the roar of the Northam celebrating a goal. At least 3 times..

LOL. He's even working with the man who pulled that stunt last time..

An interesting question........ In my opinion, Lowe would use the "windfall" to pay a dividend.
