It was EFM and rightly so

Davis let down by most of the rest really. Having a rookie right back didnt help and we lost the energy in midfield with Gillette out. DMG tried hard scored a good goal, Euell tried but missed a couple, Saga the most disappointing with Drew. Need to improve tuesday

To see al the old regime apart from Lowe and Wilde sitting there makes me feel ill. Will we never rid ourselves of these people?

The bit I saw on the Northam was at the fans who were leaving 25 minutes to go. I didnt see fans waving their s/ts to others.

Ump I cant be reading that correctly, as RL rightly has had loads of stick about keeping Wigley on.

Yep, as his shares are now worthless why does he stil have any privilages? He is no differesnt to Joe Public.

that was at the fans deserting with 25minutes to go

We all know yours Alps.Living in Austria may be a godsend, you dont have to turn up and face the disappointments.

What distressed me was that Askham was in the directors box as well.I dont understand how people like him are still there.hat is the nightmare i had always feared that ust Lowe and Wilde gone

Yep they took loads of stick.It in fact rejuvenated the fans for a while.Disappointed so many songs about Pompey today and the red and white chant that has gone around the stadium for the last few games was not started up.Th e Northam tried their best as always but I didnt think the atmosphere was as good as I had hoped

good point...although to many on here. Lol

MLT is perfectly entitled to his own beliefs. He had no reason to hold his opinions back as he had no financial ties to the club.He may now feel the need to be critical, thats fine it doesnt matter to me.The club is more important to me and it is now time that if there are new owners they have the best credentials.

Well who is the gimp? read the opening line 'MLT told me tonight' not told us all.I get told lots of things that may or may not embarrass the person who said it in confidentiality. Perhaps MLT doesnt worry or said it for the world to know.I doubt the Monkou one would be though.

I wish I lved in such a simple world that you obviously do.

Very true Duncan. There are people who will be interested as the club will be a bargain price.Doesnt mean they will be people at all interested in Saints. Go to an auction of bankrupt stock and you will get all types bidding on stuff they wouldnt normally be interestd in because its leass than half wholesale. I doubt that the adminstrator will worry who buys as long as it is the best price.I think some of their charges may be based on price achieved.

i agree Mike but you cannot guarentee an improvement of income on the basis that the first team may string some wins together. Yes had we kept NP and some of the high ly paid players we may have won a few more games and perhaps more fans would have come in through the gates.By making definite cuts the bank would have been eased and so supported us(HIndsight shows differently) To me I think the only way forward for clubs in the lower leagues is that you have to start at very low cost base and then develop from there. Lowe did that job well but his decision to employ the wrong man of the 2 was our downfall.Again in hindsight , had he put Wotte in charge we may have won more games and so the crowds would have improved.I agree there are some who wouldnt go whatever but you cant spend your life in business just appeasing a few, as you then would have to appease those who were not going for other reasons.The core business waws to get the club on a sound footing and it surprises me that he had shown the bank that he had slashed costs.I can only assume he got up one of the bank managers noses(no surprise) and so they pulled the plug.It still was not a clever thing to do.I wish my business was with them as id move banks in protest.

Rebel if you read the bit in the Times that has been posted up they would have made us goners quicker if we had not taken the correct measures straight away.Unlike some fans on here barclays dont care that we worship a managerwho only won 3 in 17 games they worry if they are going to get their money back.To them we are a little zit on a face full of acne, they squeezed us when the boil was receeding.

It is only a small lapel badge but with a picture of the 1901-1902 ?(from memory)team that would have been worn by a fan then at games.To most it may be of little interest as just an old badge but as a historic collectors piece it is very rare as there wouldnt have been many made and also most would have been lost in time. Gary Chalk did some research for me for an item on this site regarding the RAF dog team incident and so I would like him to have first chance of it.

Im sure he will be delighted that his confidence has been broken. I doubt the Monkou bit (although fairly common knopwledge) will make him popular there either.

I think that is fair CS.Perhaps LC would have but Im a little unsure whether he would have liked to be that unpopular to do those unsavoury thigns that would have had the fans on his back.The point is we are now seeing a clearer picture and SOMEof Lowes strategy can be seen to be correct. To me it was in a financial sense a very good effort cutting those overheads to such a degree. I dont expect the more rabid antis to take it in but at least now we can see why it was all happening.

Well done to both of them Richards strikes me as a very worthy man to still be involved.

Couldnt we try quantative easing, thats the buzz word at the moment.Who owns a photocopier on here and then we only need to go to Staples to get the paper to print the notes on.Problem solved. Why didnt anyone think of it before

but Ron it was never cashed and so never a loan. As for the strings attached they might have been punituive.He didnt write one out for 110k to stop the bank pulling the rug.Not that he should but if it was there a while ago Id have thought it was paramount this week.

how about red and white. That has been sung a few times during games recently and the whole grund has joined in.Lets make it easy for everyone.
