  1. Mills Crainey Baird Bale left for more money, at least 3 of them have hardly got much further in their careers by doing so.
  2. I will make my judgement and take the action that is fair by me.I did the same in the relegation season.I will go next season and if the prices are set then I will be quids in. If the club set prices at a quid fans would moan that thye should be 80p. I went and watched Bournemouth v Luton and that was dire in quality and it was £16 in the away section which is tucked away by a corner flag on the side, therefore £20ish quid per game would seem the going price in L1.
  3. Take no notice Its a good thread and whilst Im sceptical it would be great if true
  4. you aint seen Jackson. If he is a big property developer Jacksons farm is not that big a pull.
  5. Jacksons arm is not that big a piece of land though is it?
  6. I spoke to a friend and was told that they were disappointed the game v Watford did not go ahead as the team were really up for it.The team (squad)are close and whilst it was a sickener to lose against SU the mood has become more determined. The team went for a win instead of holding on for a point as they thought it was there for the taking. All stops were pulled out to get the game played as it was thought that it was a good time tp play SU. I suspect many of the more downbeat fans will criticise this post but again i got the sense that there is a mood change at the club and indeed they can survive.They know they have 15 games left and they will hit a good patch that will bring us out of the dolldrums. I said to them that the Forest game would be enormous but the feeling was we'd be out of it by then. I do understand that I was given hope before the SU game and was upbeat but the peole i talk to are not full of optimism without good reason.
  7. Its sad to see S?T holders deserting us.I myself will look at it in a financial way.I know i will go whatever league we are in, therefore taking advantage of early bird is saving money and so 2 tickets are going to be sold as long as the deal is fair.
  8. I would love this to be true. It is interesting that the TV has just been signed and it would be noticed that the deal is recession proof (tv rights wise anyway) the thought of buying inot a club that could realisitcally go up to the PL (when it was managed correctly with a sound financial base)with its infrastructure and fanbase might make us a tempting target.
  9. Could be the case but as NP is a demi god surely any good business man would have had him tied to a contract. Afterall he is so good there was never a doubt that we were going to be relegated surely...
  10. nobody mentioned NP. That squad should keep them up.If they went down I suspect they would be in terrible financial trouble.As for Ho he only came on when he could brag.He has disappeared for weeks as i said he would as the chips are down. He will come back when we are nealy out of it and they have turned the results around. No doubt he has been 6 weeks away on holiday and couldnt get on, lol. Will he be able to resist these taunts???
  11. I can live with that as it is all opinions.i will not accept he was totally at fault. If you go back to the horror of the relegaation season and the loss of 2 goal leads, a player not taking the ball to the corner flag when the points were ours, missing an open goal at WBA in a 6 pointer, players getting sent off for gross studidity these were events that were just as culpable as leaving Wigley in charge.He was replaced with plenty of time to get us out of the mire.
  12. That may be the case but we would also lose any player of any value for peanuts.AL, AS KD and any other player would be sold to pay back the banks.We would thne be left with the schoolboys.I dont understand how people can wish for a doomsday scenario, just to feel that it has cost RL a few quid.he will be financially secure whatever we as fans would be left with ashes and what wqe have now is Utopia compared to what we would have.
  13. but it wasnt a rolling contract.It had a cut off. If LC had been so shrewd he would have got NP signed up sharpish
  14. I find it also amusing fans who are so outraged that a player might have hit a Saints fan and some of those same people were trying to defend fans attacking their own fans and stewards.
  15. He is part of the cause of our woes.You miss the point and cant see it is not JUST down to him.
  16. IF I find it far fetched.It has come from one anonymous person.We certainly have a death wish trying to stir up anti player feeling.David moyes showed how to deal with these things.treat them with the contempt they deserve
  17. what about LM and Keith Wiseman doing the same as they sold their shares? Did LC get severance pay? how about every footballer who has left the club after taking loyalty bonusses.It goes on and on.
  18. Well all I can say is my friend was one of the owners of Bournemouth when he was there and the staff commented when i was there to watch a game, that he was the politest nicest lad there and they adored him.They would have taken him back in less than a heartbeat. As for the so called assault, well i think it is laughable and just a set up.I dont think we have bneen told where it happened,.If I was a skate it would be so easy to ruin players when you have sites like this.Immediately it is true because it is a fans favourite scapegoat who is said to be involved.
  19. Decisions by RL ,the Wilde bunch, LC HR, GH WGS and many others have contributed to our demise.Yes RL is am ajor part of it as well but you will not get me to believe that the lily livered team that cost us so many easy points were not as damned responsible as ANY decision RL made that season.Yes he left Wigley in charge for too many games but HR had many games to save us and the players well..
  20. I wouldnt campaign for RL as I wouldnt for any of the other people who have failed us.I just see both sides of the arguement and have been bitten the last time we jumped into the unknown. Get a decent alternative and i will be with you and isuspect 99% of the rest of the fans who come on here.
  21. NP was not sacked, the option to renew his contract was not taken up.For the life of me i dont understand why LC did not give him a 3 year or even a rolling contract with a notice on it.Surely that was a mistake by him because if he had then RL would not have been able to sack him financially.As for miracles, please we have been over this time and again.When he came in we were closer to the playoff positions than the relegation places, the last game we were within 20 minutes of being relegated, that is not miraculous it was nearly foolhardy. LC did the same we have been told on here. LC was going to scrap the bus travel Last season especially in the last 10 games the football was poor as well , this again was under LC. Can you give us a reason why it is different now? Going to away games would cost you more, but i can't criticise any of our away fans because they have been superb for a long long time now.
  22. We look forward to your return.I may say we did hear that last time whren he was go9ing to go and the fans didnt return.
  23. Is there a division 3??? Yes I will go, i do now i have for 40 years so why not.If RL stays in charge we wont get a -15 point penalty as we are up to date with the revenue and customs, so Im led to believe. If we go into administration we would lose -10 only if that stays the same. I dont know that it would be the case if the last crowd were in charge.It doesnt mean i havent had enough of the RL and all its turmoil but for financial reasons I trust him.Footballing reasons then Im not so sure.

    Lupoli

    I suspect his agent gve him a choice , good wages at SU in a team that may make the playoffs (BT's wages off the wagebill) or relegation scrap at SMS with the fans and club in turmoil, tough decision that.
  25. It is a free world, i myself realise that by starving the club of finance is self defeating.Less money through the gate less money to spend on players/wages the quality drops more the results get worse the gates reduce and so it becomes a downward spiral.Of course then it will prove RL is rubbish as the money to invest is much reduced. Will you go again if RL leaves but we are then L1?
