I think brown did his chances by going to the media yesterday

why not believe the club for a change and back us not the opposition. The Scunny chairman has been a loose cannon and is trying to do the best he can for his club. Whether that is more money or keeping the manager i don't know. His comment about Nigel shouldnt work for him, could be calculating to get NC's back up to pull out and so he still has a manager. We just don't know, but having a go at our club is counterproductive IMo

'is fully aware that appropriate compensation payments become due where the candidate managers are currently under contract. The Club has acted in an entirely professional manner and will continue to do so.' FF like yourself I want the club to act correctly, by the statement I have pasted from the clubs statement , it appears they agree with us both.

Ken I see where you are coming from but to be fair NC/SFC have been consistant in not going public until all is done and dusted. In theory NA applied for the job, and we asked Scunny for permission to interview him. That does not mean we were to offer him the job and to be fair it is their chairman and the media fed the news by NA/Scunny Chairman/agent that has said he was to be unveiled. Now i do agree that the odds were, he was to be installed but we can only assume/jump to that conclusion. The club have left their options open with the statement and it looks that we will still have Wilkins in charge of the next game

How can you say that is a good post if the facts are unknown. If the truth is what Scunny are reporting then he feels the same way as me, but in alll these things there are two sides to the story.

we are all jumping to conclusions. That is the problem with the club running a tight ship and no comment policy. Rumour and accusations grow. Who knows the facts to really assess what has happened?

I think NC saw my reservations earlier and so pulled out Lol

you would have thought that before being allowed to speak to the manager clubs would agree in principle the amount required. Even if NA came now the relationship is already tarnished. Both clubs are a bit clucked up by this

thanks for that. I assume you realised you'd get al oad of comments when you posted

did he apply or did we ask permission to speak to him?

i will tie a ghetto blaster to it if you like, the ball will be in the net before you hear my shout, although i do prefer to use craft rather than brawn in these things.i might even take the shots from 30 yards to give you a bit more of a chance

“The Southampton people have been very difficult to deal with. “They are probably not the right sort of people for Nigel to be working with.' NC I suspect may not be happy with that comment. Pretty foolish as well as we can mess them up. If NA doesn't get the job his mind will be mashed and the team/fans will know he is on the look to move. I think their chairman does not have the whip hand. Saying that Im not proud of my club if they are trying to be clever in taking away anther clubs asset without compensation.That is not how i wish to view our club

i agree Phil, the media raised expectations, unless Solent think Adkins is high profile for us.Lol

you were offside and the lino correctly only flagged when you attempted to go for the ball. A correct decision by the man in line and in full knowledge of the rules. I don't have to pay anyone off, all i have to do is let lesser souls shake my hand and they are made up that i have deigned to let them touch me. You have a weak handshake by the way.

they know that a dash back for PL riches is worth a shout. Chanrai is very wealthy and could easily put in a bot of money as a calculated gamble. The CCC is not that strong this season.

Lol there is also a Gillingham about 3 miles from Shaftesbury Dorset.

i do hope you are right. I know very little of him but he is a green horn when it comes to playing at a decent standard. he may get us this league, i say may. He will not be the personality to get the next quality of player. I really hope he does well, we need him to

9months???...9 games IMO. I do hope NC has weighed up the fan pressure, a big name would have got a longer honeymoon period. I suggest the majority of fans are underwhelmed and sceptical. Therefore the patience will be in short supply. I doubt there are many who would have swapped AP for NA. I thought there was a media report saying that the appointment will win the fans over and prove NC correct. Where i sit that is not the case. Good luck Nigel but .......

I watched the so called goal last night and saw that it was a cracking decision by the lino. Watch the lazy larda#se offside at the first section of play before your shot at goal somehow becomes a pass, that the Dr then slices into the righthand corner.

Will you get the courage to play as i wonder if your modesty will hold you back. Lol I had resigned as manager but i have many PM's asking me to reverse my decision and so am contemplating it, i look forward to the kick around before the game and a 50 year old putting the ball past you time and again, in fact to help I'll ask you which side do you want me to put it to give you a chance.

at my age!!!! if you don't mind I'm a 20 year old who has been forced into an ageing body, unlike Phil where it is in reverse, an ageing body trying to force himself into 20 somethings body.

Humble always Robsk, put the goal up so it can be dissected.

yet another Skate trying to wind us up Lol. Bless. No doubt deacon , venables and Storrie were at the meeting as well. As for a non football fan recognising Les Reed Lol.......Les Dennis perhaps

It could be said that MLT also said that Pinnacle were fit to run the club, so he not above making mistakes. I again say he was my absolute hero on the pitch. Since he hung up his boots the flaws have become more apparent. Please Matt stop giving interviews if you are going to knock the club, as it hurts the pro and anti fans

when was offside deemed as unfair. Just because the Dr was too lazy to keep onside. Our keeper and defence didnt try and stop it as they play to the refs whistle. The pass was a miskick if the rest of your game is anything to go by.....kidding but I did notice quite a lot of ginger against the floodlights
