My god you are an awkward bu##ar. Campaigning /in favour it still shows that there were a lot wanting it.I didnt think that somebody that puts Steven Hawking to shame like you do, would see that.

when you were in charge of the Trust or whatever it was did you have all these emotions you used in the voting system to try and make your point a bit more impressive.They are so childlike and i really dont understand somebody who is so serious uses those infantile things. I dont know if they were campaigning as there wasnt a march or anything like that being organised but they were happy to vote yes.

Richmond. It doesnt matter if was after a defeat or a victory there were a third voting for it

Reading this just underlines how far we have fallen.

I dont care what his past record is if he comes forward with a fantastivc investor.If he is wasting the clubs money then Im not happy.

are you sure it was him and not Linvoy Primus

There is a thread with a poll and bout a third voted to go into administration , thats quite a few Ump. I agree that you were not gagging for it though

I still think we are divided over the rights and wrongs of RL's plans. NP was a part of that. I still understand why some of the decisions were taken regarding cutting expenditure.You are right his decision regarding NP was wrong. Would he have put the plans he had under the noses of the bank before he came back to reassure them he meant business regarding getting our overdraft down? NP's success has bred more certainty that RL's decision was wrong, when Leicester were stalling earlier in the season it went quiet for a bit. I dont wish to carry on debating NP as he should not have been replaced.

I know the Administrator thinks it's good, i think it is worse than bad.

Thanks Ron but 'eloquently' is not something Im usually accused of. I am very pleased to have that compliment. It does seem that some parties thought they would get the club for a song and were 'carpet baggers' that plan has been torpedoed and I can hear the stamping of little feet. (not Duncans) I worry that many fans have been blind to what could turn out to be a disaster.

You are wrong, I have made it clear all along I dont rate NP as some demi god as some do but he should have been kept on. Wotte's stats still are comparable to NP's with a lesser squad, it proves nothing and so your barb is not called for.3 wins in 17 games was relegation form as well, fortune favoured us last season in the run in and I was as delighted as anyone.

unfortunately the fans aredivided , this issue is another that will run. It is impossible to say what would have happened .Myself I believe he would have done better over the season that the Dutch duo, but so would have Wotte. The whole problem stems from the fact that we had to slash costs and so any quality we had (that was not much) and work with what was left.IMO NP had a far better squad to work with and for 1 reason alone he should have been kept on was that the fans were right behind him. We as a fan base have to move on from all this. Are we going to talk about RL and NP forever, it is tiring and devisive. The fans have their minds mind up and unless facts come out to change our mindsets nothing will change.

considering you were baying for admin I think its churlish now for you to complain what we get. You made your bed and all that..

Has he managed a team? In had the impression he was sacked in non league football?

Duncan how do you know your friends are any better than any others? My experience in life when I have sold anything that is of any real value is that the people coming in gushing saying how wonderful the product/house/car etc is, are the ones who never proceed when the quiet laid back non commital ones are the real deal. It concerns me that if they are so worried about competition they have little resources to spare if they win the bidding. I wonder if they had believed that they would wait and get the club at a bargain on the floor price and dont like the thought that perhaps there is more competition than they had bargained for.That would be funny. We need a sustainable group/Preferably individual who does not baulk because the cost is a couple more million than they had hoped. I agree the timewasters need to move aside but the stronger the competition will sort out the men from the boys. The Administrator will be rubbing his hands at this lovely windfall falling into his hands, when the bank could have easily let us trade on. Somebody had made miscalculation and as a fan Im annoyed.

To be fair NP had the luxury of having John and many of the other highly paid players last season combined with some expensive loans. At this moment the clubs very existance is more important than who was best manager. We had to reduce the baank overdraft by 1.5m that increased to 2.5m whoever was in charge would have little to work with.They wouldnt have a 25 goal forward and the ability to sign loanees from Arsenal or Man u, add to that being bankrolled to the tune of just under 10m. It is not a fair comparison, and after the initial few weeks where I thought that Wotte had made a good start the last 3 games has killed that.

Roger that really p#####d me off, when Surman was smiling . Im angry tonight with the way we have all those decent people who have on their bank holiday spent time and money getting up there and seeing that. The players had better understand that the fans are angry and if they think they can go throught the paces they have another thing coming. I have been understanding but there is no excuse at all for the way they went about their job today. Saga after turning me around from being not impressed into believing I was wrong has now lost me again.He doesnt seem to care and ineffective.Yes he has a run og goals but he has done little in the past few weeks/games. I can see the fans not being patient with the players monday if they dont show some fight and passion, i know we are nearly down but i will not accept that the players do not spill blood in the next few games.Any of you away fans dont deserve today and you were great again.That old lady who gave £500 to save the saints should be repaid the money by the players who turned out today, she showed more fight desire and passion that the lot of them. Goodnight

I thought he signed for Wolves at the end of last season?

i agree it has nothing to do with the stick the Northam gave to those fans deserting after their 3rd goal.

and complain because they cant get a ticket.You know the ones, I used to have a season ticket and so deserve a ticket to the final

a sad Lol

Im sure the administrators would be delighted, the could then clock up some more fees. The Krankies consortium. Of course both were right but both wrong, I thought your dossier will be full now.I do hope the pictures you have on your wall of me are taken from my best side.

but somebody was there.Much like when the others tried it all came to nothing.Tyrekickers are still there and costing us money again.I hate to think how much the proposed takeovers cost the club before this last jaunt into the unknown.

Well RL was in charge.
