  1. To be hinest knowing the French came and sacked the city is enough shame let alone publicise it
  2. stanley that is why fans on board etc will never work. i have great respect of those that try but they just dont od it for me
  3. or you get a complete amateur to amputate the leg when the consultant was there waiting. The erroronous belief that RL etc didnt wish to sell will come out in time. Up the the last moments before going into admin we had a buyer who was frantically trying to get the funds together.The administrator even was put back until late at night to try and give time for it to get in place in time.
  4. yes but it will be 30p every week not a 1 off
  5. Bentleys are not that rare, drive through Bramshaw you will seee lots going back and forth, unlikely heading to SMS though.Unless it was Ruperts, LOL
  6. Thanks, I take on board you have pulled back from this I do hope Derry does not get hurt by his obvious willingness to help. I cant help thinking about those good people who spent good time helping with the statue only to be humiliated unfairly as they did not have the experience or expertise to get the project right.
  7. Ron can you tell us, do these people realise that by putting up yet another bid it will be sucking much needed money from the club as the administrator will be racking up fees looking at their proposals. Can they not stand back get organised what they can offer and only at the very very end then take whats left, as patently any fans group will not have the funds in place to see us through the summer.
  8. I was saddened by fans staying away because of 1 man. Their attendance would only have made a small difference to the clubs coffers but it may have helped us not going into administration and also perhaps got a loan in who MAY have made that little difference. Frankly it is history we are where we are, fans staying away for RL dont seem to be streaming back like we were told they would. Would it now be fair to say that RL was not the reason they stayed away but as we were not PL anymore?
  9. Are you saying that people who are professional are going to have the same view. Jonah and UMp are both professional intelligent people but were both at different poles regarding how the club was going.I wish you luck
  10. It was allegedly Wilde who used to post on Saints 4 ever under that name when he was trying to oust RL
  11. you are not Saintmarc I hope...lol
  12. whilst Blackstocks last minute goal was a turning point for Forest that may well be the one for Barnsley.We need 2 teams to fail, perhaps if Forest are safe last day it might work in our favour. So norwich and Barnsley lose, both us and forest win then hope a win at forset is enough for us on the last day.unlikely of course
  13. Not told you so, it was a case of trying to point out that administration was not likely to be the cake walk some thought. As for getting rid of the PLC and RL it is a bit extreme. it is like setting fire to your house without insurance as you didnt like the colour of the wallpaper. Saints means a lot to us all on here and to see it perhaps go for good is not what i want and that is why i try and point out the pitfalls of change. You may be right and it may be a new start with a new figurehead.If so i hope they hurry up as time waits for nobody
  14. I will hold my hand up and say i have not at present put any money in.I do not wish to pay towards the players wages and still the club goes t###. Many were happy for us to go into administration as they thought it would mean an quick way to be bought.At present that doesnt seem to be the case and the calls for donations are becoming more and more desperate. If I was certain that the club will get through it i would put in, but there is massive doubt my money will go and pay administers bills and still not have a club at the end of it.I understand it is Catch 22 if we dont we not have a club, but however many fantastic fans shake the buckets how will they pay to get us through the summer? We either get bought by a big player or a new saints will start in the lower leagues, that is when the money will find its correct place and will do more good.
  15. I think many of our fans have no memeories of those days and also he has had some very good windfalls from us
  16. OldNick

    Magilton sacked

    Always has been a thorn in our side.i agree that he might have what it takes Victor
  17. Ron it was if the loan swap worked out.Neither party wanted the deal in the end.
  18. It was a deal 1.2m deal but we were to get Robertson in that fee at a figure of 500k if both parties were happy.Therefore we were getting 700k plus Robertson and wages
  19. well done Derry your love of the club shows through.I would respectfully suggest that the plans your group make is not for saving what we had but starting over a new AFCSaints as however well meaning you are the costs we have will never get near making.Unless we have a backer with real funds it is costing you time and if a bid is made costing our club valuable funds as the administrator will be bound to go and spend time getting the bid looked at. It is time for the timewasters to STEP BACK and lets see if there really is any substance to any bigger playerws if there are any. Iam slowing getting to the realisation that some of the things I was accused of 'scaremongering' pre administration may be coming to pass. Please be it Im so wrong, it will make me very happy to be so.
  20. I was told when he was made club captain he was as proud as anybody could ever be. He cares but i doubt we will see him in a saints shirt at SMS after saturday
  21. In theory but it will be like a wake and so many will be put off by that.If the media really lay it on and its a lovely day perhaps there will be a good walk up.
  22. he scored in a 2-0? defeat. He was signed ofter midnight of the transfer deadline and scored his only goal for Brum in his debut against us.
  23. Typical saints we didnt rock the boat about that.Prutton got a massive ban and we didnt try to appeal..although I doubt it waqs a big problem him missing
