Fans groups are a joke and mainly just a bunch of people with their own agendas. Committees and the like are a waste of space. I can see egos now waiting for their time in the boardroom asking for better burgers, cheaper beer, cheaper tickets etc. It is a business and so we have no right to expect fans on the board. You only have to look on here at the many different views, how could we expect a fan to be able to appease and represent all those views.

No, but we have to fill our time with something.

If anyone had said 20-30years ago that China would be anyway supportive of Russia you would have not believed it. I do wonder if the 2 have decided to use their combined power to thwart the west longterm. Odd bedfellows

maybe, we did try it once before, that was a success

A measured reply. I dont expect top name signings as it seems the club do not believe in making the last step up. The feeling seems to be that we have got to the glass ceiling and have lowered all expectations. I personally believe Katrina does not have anywhere near the same ambition of her father (her rightful choice) and is clawing back a large chunk of the initial investment, again her prerogative. If this is the case i would rather them be a little more open rather than tell us that we have 35m as well as the funds from player sales, when from where iam it is patently not the case. I hope Iam wrong and the club dumbfound me and buy some real quality (although the WC stars rarely find the same form in club football,after making a reputation there) If we are not looking at those 'stars' then i fail to see why we have yet to purchase more decent professionals who have been taken on by other clubs.

yeah sorry about that. To fit in a post in the middle of being pestered by staff and customers etc can make it hard to put a decent post out. I know I have never put a decent post out

if you believe that McQueen, Reed and Taggert can be mainstays in a PL team that has lost a few of its talismen, and a xcompletely new team then perhaps we should to others who are on crack. Yes there are exceptions but to think year on year we can have LS coming forward is mad IMO. One of those players may become regulars longterm but asking all 3 is tough. We have had 2 untried players arrive to replace 3 regulars, surely it is not unfair to expect us to have a few more players on board in rediness for the new campaign

Yes it is irrelevant about what players cost, but for a club that has massive funds have at 3 players gone and perhaps more, that already needed players in some crucial positions it does seem a little complacent not to have been very active. I know we dont need to rush in 'buy in haste and repent at leisure' and all that but it seems clear to the outsider that we would have known players were leaving and so our team of experts should have lined up new players. You seem content with the situation, i respect that, but excuse me if Iam suspicious/underhelmed by the new boards actions.

I would have thought he wouldn't have time for that as surely he would be drawing up reports or a book about any misdemeanours going on

Yep thanks Sidney, always good to hear stuff

Surely we can't think that Reed and Krueger were lying lol. I tHink it was obvious the club were talking before the WC and probably as the season ended. Bring in 100 m spend 30 and bingo you can draw out a nice little wedge. Their prerogative of course,but don't lie to your customers

Lol

he's otherwise engaged, I assume

I assume the Burnley fans feel the same about us, there again they must still love us for buying Fox

Lol thank heavens it wasnt TCWTB who had ****~~ on the toilet seat, it is amazing how the public abuse facilities that are provided. You have refrained from giving out the golf info, i look forward to the post lol. You will get a few PM's begging no doubt

So have many others over the years. I have seen many people leave companies by choice and the new people being part of the reason. The club has been unsettled, mainly money and to a degree ambition or lack of it played a part as well.

Looks like a load of nonsense to me. As for MP not liking the fans i cant recall many songs singing his name or 'give us a wave Poch'. IMO he would have still some sentiment toward us and appreciation what SFC have done for his profile. He gave us hope, and sadly that has been dashed. Krueger did us no favours and i wonder if his words gave MP little faith that the club would be able to match his ambition.

oh no has the Serbian started on the Croat already !

2 bad games in how many/ KD's performance at Leeds away gave us 3 crucial points that made a massive difference at the end of the season. i owuldnt have liked to rely on us to make it through the playoffs that season

Phil popped into my business to say hello and give me an update on things when he was in the UK last week, golf was only mentioned 3 or 4 times. His amazing news about golf I am going to withhold as Im ITK, so there.

if you went to Exeter in the League cup, he made Forecast look like Gordon banks

It always seems odd when you try and connect the word Trust and Pompey,

yep, they do have some lads with decent humour.

ditto when we let a last minute goal at Bolton. That is when i realised i needed to step back and accept it is only football.

Mrs Lovren posted some odd quote on her twitter to do with the intelligent forgive, perhaps it was not about us forgiving him if he leaves, but I live in hope it is if he stays
