That is fair and i agree that we will go down due to our inept play,but when you need a little luck for you to stay up the last thing you need is the ref not to have any sympathy and perhaps resentment

He did in all his tv and prss interviews when he said all should shoulder some of the blame.He didnt make that the main part of his thrust I'll grant you.he has as much trouble saying sorry as Gordon brown

i can sympathise with a lot you say, but without a doubt had the police not doen what they had there would have been a lot more destruction on the day

Just heard that on the radio that the woman who was hit on the legs 'Feared for her life' Lol of course she did, as soon as Max Clifford took her under his wing.

Have you just got up as well?

Not that dump of a pub in Romsey reopening again!!

You should have been up ironing washing and cooking ages ago.I take my part of the blame for your misunderstanding BTF

If he went after staying up I would be very disenchanted as the new people would be no better than we replaced. It would hwve to be someone inspirationalnot Merrington and Armstrong, id prefer Armstrong and Miller.

You know what i mean.

In Bristol you daft woman...Lol I know you may have misunderstood my wording

My understanding was that we were told to get the overdraft down to £5m from 6.3 and it was slashed again later than september. For all the mistakes RL made I doubt he would not understand the danger of going over the overdraft limit unlkess he had spoken to somebody for it.Forget not earlier in the season it was stated that we had a barclays man taking decisions on here and that the club was taking orders from him.Do you recall that?

Well if you also believe that refs dont have their own opinions whether a situation is right or not then perhaps you may be foolish.Perhaps in this world there are a few people who are not swayed by their own opinions, referees sometimes show bias sub consciously. i doubt many teams like Mike Riley to ref them when they are up against Man u. I hope Im wrong but I doubt there is much sympathy for us in the official world. i do agree that the refs in the main are poor and of course our performance is all important but questionable decisions plauy a vital part in success or failure.

Yeah so has Manchester, BC is by far the biggest and has the potential

If Wotte keeps us up it would be madness to get rid of him.This is Saints though so nothing would surprise me.

It wouldnt be a best seller as we know Duncans position.We need somebody closer to give the real story.

well he was right about getting rid of Jan. RL made mistakes in his time but that was a massive one, especially as I believe that Wotte has made a big difference. I doubt he would have asked them to sell share as I doubt he cared about that, and would there be buyers?

You may be right but from my position if i was the bank and had seen the club at the start of the season 6.3 overdrawn getting that down to £5m. Then cutting it again , and the club meeting that in the short time required.That was in a time when the world finances were in a mess, unemployment going up and people contacting them telling them they were not going because they didnt like the chairman.To me if a business was doing still slashing costs with all that going on would keep them supporting us little longer.It should not have been a problem, the bank knew RL's popularity when he came back and did not pull the plug, why wait until they did? The timing is really odd and i sense something pushed them to act. What i dont know, but do you not find the whole timing and bouncing cheques so the club could not make quick contingency plans alittle strange?

I doubt he's giving it. Bristol is a very large city and the capibility of filling a large stadium. Good business i suspect

Lol, very true

What were they then Duncan. Did he want to come back as chairman to lend the money?

The banners about Saints being loved have been put up by Saints trust.I do not know if they have been paid for.I do like coming into the city and seeing them. You say on one hand RL was trying to freeze out players so they leave and complain he didnt sell!! the people we needed gone to get our costs down were teh high wage earners not t4rainees or the younger players on low contracts who if they had been sold would have given fans reason not to go.It was a Catch 22 situation.I just worry there was some dirty business going on and that sped up our demise.

Whats the betting we get the worst refs and decisions that go with it leading to the end of the season.I get the impression that the sentiment in neutrals eyes is that we should be decked -10. The refs may think that way as well, we will be on a hiding to nothing if they are biased against us and 50/50 decisions may go against us.I hope Im wrong but it would be convienient for the league if we go down.

If he keeps us up it would be be just as ludicrous as getting rid of NP as it would be him.

I think fans can question GD as he never quelled the rumours that he wanted to take us over in the past.It was convienient to look like a benefactor scorned and a lot cheaper to be so as well. You can be the best buyer in the world if the item is sold and another like it is not on offer. ' I would have bought that if it wasn't sold'

Well Im glad you are hearing about some significant bids because the few people I know are saying nothing and give the impression that nothing is going on in a big way. NDA's obviously have been signed but it is unusually quiet regarding rumours at the club.Even DM is not saying much although Armstrongs campaigning on Radio Hants with him with Merrington as a managing partnership makes me wonder if they have been given the green light if a certain party takes over. the 'I would have saved us' speech by Armstrong on the radio just rang of trying to whip fans up in support, or readying the ground.
