yep thats why i didnt but i can see how many would. What do the viruses actually achieve I cant see the point of them.

a good idea for local businesses. I will mention to Mr Snow when i see him again how his funds are being mis-directed

Anyone else had one of these sent to them by e-mail. It has an attachment that you naturally want to open to check the item sent. I'm not sure what the point is but I assume the attchment has a virus of some type,any ideas? Your parcel (1) has been dispatched with Royal Mail.

that did surprise me. Im sure the people who purchased a copy from the authors did not expect there to be such a massive mark up. I was under the impression that they were likely to be out of pocket but with those types of margin we ought to get a pen and start scribbling a book on Saints. £35 is a lot of money for a book and if the club were making £25 a time they were foolish not to have it on sale. They could even treat the fans well and discount them at £20, double your money is pretty good afterall

I doubt many people who are sacked have many good words to say. I never met the man but his drive and vision matched my own if I was in charge of the club. Having a dictator gets results and it seems the management and playing staff bought in to that. To me that was important, as for his indulgences at the clubs expense i cannot comment on as there is no examples. The court proceedings were plentiful it seems, I suspect a lot of times the threat of court is enough for people to back off.

Duncan, you need to be careful mentioning the rumours about NC, as you say he does like to take people to court. I like the book but please do not give the impression that it was that important to the club. 50k turnover is not profit. If you have taken 50k in sales then the worry about the costs of publishing have gone and the club not stocking the book is not a problem. Waterstones have loads of outlets and so in a way he did you a favour. Iam sure plenty of sales came from wives etc saw them when browsing the shops at Xmas and bought it, those same people may not have gone to the club shop. You are rightly proud of the book that you did with the others and i do understand why it wrankles but it does seem to me that the thread is all about your disappointment regarding the book.

I have only met Mike once or twice and found him to be the most entertaining and warm person. I cant see why he gets so much envy and stick on here. He adores Saints and a local man.

I know MLT paid for his S/T, that is admirable, i think you will find that NC ML had a policy of everybody paying. I cant see the problem with that.

there were some pretty naff posts that were disrespectful. KL is a person who wants to keep out of the limelight and Iam sure would be upset if shown the back pages of the red tops. It seem to me that they went out of their way to get the worst possible pictures of her. As for posters on here poking fun at her!!! She is ML daughter and i suspect he would have let the club die rather than let her be put through the ungrateful and spiteful posts she had on here a day or so ago Yes her decision to rid the club of NC pushed her to the forefront but iam sure she did not to wish for it.

Duncan I also will love MLT be given the respect he deserves and if he can become an ambassador for club that would be superb. The timing of the call seems bizarre, the club was in turmoil and somebody thinks about phoning FB and MLT ! I do hope we do not go back to the Wilde days where the hangers on were in full force. They dont want to pay but if its a freebie then they will put their shoes on Still enjoying the book by the way, I may as well give it a plug for you,

He is Mike Osmans brother i think. I agree with him though lay off Mike Osman he gets unfair abuse on here. he is a local lad that has done well.

are we due to be playing Pompey soon? it seems as we have bulit our own Pomey band stand at the back to give the players a taste of what they might expect lol

Best fans in the world for free, sleeping giant,cup final every week surely Cortese will be their next chairman,an opportunity he cant miss surely

So all the freebies are back on tap, that's good news for the old guard, the normal supporter will gain nothing from that. MLT is a superb player in our history but forget not he was close to finishing our club off due to a bad decision/company. NC was right to keep the snipers at arms length. It is interesting that FB was contacted, no doubt an old friend at the club probably not by the hierarchy. i suspect ML knew of the past problems with the old guard and would have supported NC decisions

there are loads running about the situation,

why a separate thread for this?

pot and kettle there GS. Time moves on and I hope MP has more affection for us now

I expect that is your best points as well:)

that was in May not now. in the last 7months or so he may have more of an affinity to the club

The players won't leave for peanuts, they might go but the club still have the upper hand in pricing

as long as they have the same vision and drive

I wonder how the people giving out the stick to KL would like the same done to them,if unguarded pictures of them were placed up on here for ridicule. I bet the toys would soon come out of the pram.

I don't think my wife would let me but thanks for the offer

No rule book if you need to be told
