MS has stated that his transfer was pulled due to the fans being very unhappy. The 10m was derisory i do agree, but isnt the first offer always low or do you go in with your top price straight away? i think Liverpool tried the same with AL and Lovren

but it does show that the club was in turmoil and that made them act in stopping the move. NOT fans on Saintsweb or forums but fans phoning the club and making their views known. Whether the club monitors peoples opinions on the internet I dont know but there is a chance they might. MS was in the middle of it and he confirms that he was to go until the #hit hit the fan. It does not mean that some can now say they were right and make threads about it. Some will dress it up as false and try and shout people down with their scorn, and call them childish schoolyard names, but the main readers on here who are bright enough to see the balance of the debate, may well agree that MS was going to be sold until the club was bombarded with complaint. it was going to be a massive own goal. Personally i dont care what caused the backtrack but thankfully it came to pass and we have MS for somewhile yet.

amazing how many parachute payments came their way. Very fortunate indeed that they were extended and increased at various stages

at the end of the day they need to be applauded for not overspending again. I was surprised that their turnover was as much as 6m and matchday at 3.35m. With revenues like that they will be able to dominate L2. After all, as West Ham co-chairman David Gold so pompously tweeted to Pompey fan @harrisondunks14: ‘Fans running a club doesn’t work. They sit down at a meeting with a plan to design a horse and end up with a camel’. I suggest they wont get camels but donkeys

being available was a stroke of luck. The same bit of luck that Cortese had when MP was free and willing to join us. I think that the current regime made a superb choice, and so I am happy to give them credit for that.

CB is still smarting from being torn to pieces by SaintBletch.

Funny how an article that is positive is taken as the real deal. All is 100% true apparently. Again you intentionally twist what I said, I said we were lucky that Koeman was available, if he had been tied to a contract there is no way we would have approached him. It would be great to have known what else was on the list Malky Mackay apparently Did Lovren leave after Chambers, I can't recall?

Southampton was bombed during the war and we got the boring and soulless Above Bar, the Germans rebuilt their medieval cities to their former glory. I know how I would have liked our city to look like now

but they are takingaway profits from the people who do play the game. I suspect most of the jobs would be made up by those companies as they would expand

i think you will find the majority of taxpayers will find this deplorable. Why the politicians or tax authorities have not done anything about this is what should be questioned.

nonsense, people who pay tax pull their weight, period. Because some are more successful should they pay more is the question.

MPs in the main have a job for life with wonderful pensions. I read somewhere that there were only about 100 seats that were ever likely to change.Therefore it doesnt matter if they dont get things done, they only have to talk that they will

Very interesting graph. See how the top people gained under Blair and Brown? Blair and Brown have a lot to answer for when they took the power away (very shortly whe they came to power IIRC)from the BOE to regulate the City. Then we got the boom where the bankers took risks that we all are paying for. In an odd kind of way the Labour voters put us in this mess, not that they will accept that of course. I am happy to pay my fair share into the kitty but I resent the politics of envy and it is stated about 'the rich get richer' What constitutes rich???? A pound more than you can spend, having shoes, sky,washing machine,? Or is just a case of envy that somebody else has a nicer car or a bigger house? Fair minded people want working people to be rewarded, I am all for the tax threshold to be lifted for the low paid,

All of it. I don't think many are on here at the moment, hence the Lack of Posters thread

There is a difference of course, there is more chance of a Saints fan knowing where you are now

I suggest where you liken it to third world debt written off. It was not long ago that we had cleared our debt (IIRC)

you have the honour of the first to ever have me use a face palm,

No doubt Luke Shaws physical shape was reason

Ok, the moment we fail to pay back any of the loan the risk factor to the lendes rise and we can't as a nation borrow so easily or not at all. Even if we can the rates become untenable. That then gets passed on to our mortgages and living costs. A nation defaults on its debt at its peril.

VFTP any chance of editing your quote back as it alludes to the fact that I put up the original post about not paying back. I Don't need any help posting drivel let alone that stuff thanks

Yep backed by nothing, the Bank of Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Ethiopa must do the same as its so easy. I agree that we should be on the Gold Standard, rumour was that China was trying to go that way. Hence why Gold and silver was so high (it has crashed recently)

QUOTE=hypochondriac;2060968]No it isn't. Once a debt reaches a certain size it is impossible to pay back. It's rather like the huge amounts of debt written off from the third world. We will never be able to pay back the amount we owe and besides, much of it is due to bankers and the city which is nothing at all to do with the man on the street. The majority of "debt" that I am being told to pay back is in reality absolutely nothing to do with me. Oh my god :mcinnes:

you have been remarkably quiet, I was at least expecting a few images of you with the cup

It was a ruthless execution,

yep youre the leader of the gang
