by your description Sunderland played a more long ball/ direct game, do we wish to revert back to type of football. IMO we still in the very early days of the clubs underpinning of playing a certain way by keeping the ball. In time the good work and squad improvement will mean these type of games will become 3 points instead of 1 point.

I wonder what context the question was that was put to MP re this answer but it doesnt sound to promising.

does that mean he's finished, his legs are gone etc etc? if so we have a lot of 20 + year old who the same could be said of. I will put it down to frustration of some at letting the result slip. Too many think that we are Southampton and lowly Sunderland should shiver with fear as they are playing us. They are fighting for their lives and Poyet has a history of using any means to get results. horrible type of man IMO

Exactly, too many adore running down our loyal and committed players. Many dont understand about link up play and think RL is just a target man.

None of those are Phil

another marriage made in heaven.lol That will be funny seeing Gold etc being taken to the cleaners

whilst I have never heard of the man, he seemed like a fine human RIP

they surely will one day, but have you a timeframe?

well tell us the whole story, with the facts from both sides.

another thread started that should be elsewhere. Dont you have a mirror in the house Glasgow to ask look at me?

...

just the usual rumours I suspect, but until it all comes to light and both sides of the story who can really judge?

there seem to be quite a few who seem to be negative towards her

Is that the milk monitors day out

Iam not against KL but I also feel that NC was superb for our club. What we have to remember is that it was NC who went to ML and persuaded him to get involved. If it was not for that we would be playing at Moneyfields now. Therefore his bad management practice (not in my eyes) was the reason we survived and we can now talk about finishing in the top half of the PL. So many sit in the shadows with their petty grievances waiting for a downturn and then to come out spitting and snarling when the opportunity arises. ML who we have the utmost respect chose NC to front the club, is he now seen to be a fool? KL probably had no input of the purchase and running of the club until the passing of Marcus, only now she has taken control. ML had a project that he put into place and expected NC to carry out, who IMO went on the crusade to do that for his friend. I vaguely recall Marcus' drive from his deathbed to go and see his friend and present him the watch. (cant remember the whole story ) ML had his faith in NC and therefore I side with that view. I was not a victim of NC's ruthlessness except the ticket pricing, but understood that we need to raise money to get the club where it is. I will always be thankful to NC for bringing the club from the depths to where we are now, I will of course give KL the time to show her qualities of leadership. Good luck and i do hope you have the same drive and vision that your father had for this club

of course they dont work thats why they send out thousands a day

I find the picture ones normally come through Twitter

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.
