Saint Billy

Thats a bit weird seeing his name was linked a few weeks back as a potential buyer.

I understand your concerns but I am sure AP does as well. What he tells us and what he is doing in the background are probably very different and I am sure he is making moves to strengthen the side. If us mortal fans realise that the team is weak I am damn sure he does.

Just like the catering!

I agree with that tdd. It's a bit like a boxer going into the ring expecting to get beat and having the sh*t knocked out of him. Lost the fight before he got into the ring. The mind set has got to change with the players and the fans.

It is well known that our present team lacks confidence. This is only natural because we have only won a handful of games over the last year. This is one of the first things that AP quickly noticed hence the comment "We have got to get back to a winning mentality". As importantly, I think a run of good results will change the way the fans support the club. The atmosphere at games has been definitely lacklustre to say the least and I suggest it is largely because many have expected the team to lose. I know its obvious to say that good results will bring back the numbers, but I also think that confidence in our team will make the support more animated and produce a better atmosphere which will be worth a few extra points ala The Dell.

I dont see any moaning, just debating and opinions that's all, thats what the forum is about isn't it? I have good faith in the new owner and Pardew, but as Pardew has said, we need to get into a winning mentality, and imo (notice the imo) we should be winning even the friendlies.

I have no problem with the time table but I feel it needs more than a couple of new quality players in even to just to just survive in league 1 let alone overturn the -10. I suppose it is early days to try and guess at what side we will end up with once Pardew has finalised his squad, but imo we need about 5 or 6 new players to get anywhere close to having a side that will hold its own using the friendlies as a benchmark. I know that some of our first choice are not getting games yet but even so, we are well short of quality and experience.

IMO, bad results against the likes of Totton, Eastleigh and Salisbury= bad team that will struggle in league 1. Pardew I am sure is working hard to sort this out but at this moment in time I take no comfort from the friendly results so far.

If thats the case then I'm ghey. Still not sunk in that we survived and have been taken over by someone who is respected by all.

Makes a change for us to be able to say that!

Will you join us back on earth if he spends 1.3 billion?

Do you have to be on drugs to understand this thread?

Just what we need, I think he is the right guy for us with the right credentials.

Someone experienced in the lower leagues of english football was stated by the new owners!!

I am fine with Pardew. Has experience and success in lower leagues and has managed in the prem. Would do a good job imo.

Hopefully like you are on the pitch you will be a true warrior and win the battle. Thoughts are with you John.

In that case, I have just fondued myself.

Funny really, what some would have perceived as boycotters last season could have been just plain lack of cash. It will be interesting to see if other clubs are seeing a downturn. On the positive, if a popular choice of manager ia announced it will help sway some who were deciding between season tickets and just paying on the day.

Oh please!

Get me, I've got a season ticket you have not, I've got more money than yow. Gm, bothered!

IMo opinion I would prefer to start seeing the best 11 playing together. I know that we will have a few new players coming in but I think we should start preparing with our first choice as it is at the moment. Yes Ajax is a friendly on saturday, but it would be nice to put on some sort of show for ML, but the way it is going, that will be the first time any resemblance of the first team would have played together.

GM, If I happen to sit behind you I would be complaining that a big ego is blocking my view.

Good on ya brother!

Can I hold fire on responding to this DP until a manager has been announced!

I am almost as nervous as I was before the takeover was announced regarding the possibilty of Tony Adams getting the job. Everywhere I look on the web his name is coming up first as most likely manager of sfc.
