If the club sell so be it, as long as we keep MP and he is happy that the club sell and we use some of those funds to replace I can handle that. I think a lot of AL but until he learns how to put his foot through the ball and get power in hs shots he will never make the next level. Yes he is superb in all his other attributes but to be a real top player you need to be able to strike the ball

Lallana is on a stag in Miami, i thought he was with the England squad! Has he been given special dispensation not to go with England/

That would be good, but the difference is that clubs know that you get a. Bloody nose when you eventually prize a player away

Perhaps his treatment of NA was severe, is there an easy way to sack somebody for a better option? Dont forget we did NA massive good as well and i suspect he is quite wealthy due to his tenure.

i think that is correct, similar to RL days. the danger being that our team lose focus and the desire wanes a tad. The squad gets watered down and our lack of quality means we end up in the lower echelons of the league or worse. Mid-table safety and some cup runs are Ok by me

Steve,there were people who rightly or wrongly had their privileges taken away,some posted on here in the past, ex-players also. I dont think its right to name people.

I dont think they made too much noise about it as that would be churlish. Some peoples noses were most definitely put out of joint about it.

they found bits of engine in the pentagon as far as i recall

when ML first took over at the club, the decision was made that everyone had to pay. Free tickets were no more, i know as i used to get some at times

i for one was not at all in the CL boat but I felt that NC's rule of iron was getting results. Ok so some were upset that their free tickets and old boys club had been disbanded, the results on the pitch were superb, for me as a fan is more important

Crabby, the way some employees rang the ex-players as soon as it seemed NC was gone was strange. To rush into something so unimportant at that stage showed the focus was gone. Iam still astounded that Krugers comment that he was surprised how little a manager does during a game compared to ice-hockey as they make substiutions all the time, was glossed over on here. If Clive Woodward had said something similar there would have been 20 pages on it by now. It is so Wilde bunch the way they are greasing up the gullible waiting to ram home while the attention is elsewhere

without a doubt

when did he say that?

Did he quit? i thought he was pushed, perhaps a bit of both

Dont all CEO's in the private sector and heads of departments in the Public sector use other peoples money? I would rather have an NC dealing with my cash than the majority of public sector and private people. He saw an opportunity. put it to ML who saw the asset. It is amusing how quickly so many are turning on him. To a lot of people he has helped have 5 good years of supporting our team, to now turn on him whilst being hypocritical how we enjoyed the fruits is pretty sad

I think it would take more than 4 new players to make it to CL and to keep the players we have but also invest another 30-50m is not fair to be expected of KL. I would be happy for the club to keep the manager and sell the 2 but to reinvest some of the incoming funds on replacements. At present it seems we are getting the worst of all worlds

i dont know about how certain planes look but surely the film of the jets going in has been pawed over by many experts, and so would expect they would have pointed out if the planes were not as stated.

no reply to your shameful post to FC then

he said after his conversations with players and that they bought into what the club were wanting to achieve. Of course the possibility of playing for a massive club could have been a lure as massive contracts, but sometimes people don't need all that to be happy. LS has time on his side, AL is from the area so in theory they might have stayed. I see no reason to disbelieve NC and considering how the majority on this site were cutting their throats when NC left and also fell for the Wilde bunch perhaps you will forgive me being less than supportive of some of the views on here.(i dont remember your stance on Wilde)

that is a disgusting post and you should be ashamed. FC posts in a fair and balanced way and does not deserve jibes like that. The amount of times you have threatened to leave this site in the past as somebody had been rude to you should make you more considerate to others.

I suspect somebody with a banking background might get a tad riled when on leaving the new regime states about poor financial positions etc. Apart from being annoyed by having the project taken away to have his professional standing rubbished may rankle a touch. This is the RL v Michael Wilde saga part 2, with some supporting the ruthless and single minded NC the other supporting the tummy tickling scarf wearing RK

IMO Kruger donned a saints scarf, made up with ex-players and stocked some books in a charm offensive and then undermined our stance of being determined to keep most of our players. We should have taken a leaf out of Kenwrights book at Everton, if they buy sting the buyer so they don't come back.

Is Paul Williams a die hard Saint?? He spent most of his career at Coventry didnt he? Is it right for a youth team manager to look quite so unfit and setting the best example/ im sure he is a decent guy but I never saw him as a die hard Saint. Doddsy is different

What posters need to realise that some posters will be in their early teens. Get a life and accept that the poster who put up the LS is ge post did it for the best intentions. It was not trolling or intentional windup etc IMO

The more desperate that Levygets the ore. Likely is that he will go for MP
