  1. I dont know you except by reputation and the last thing I would point at you is ever4 letting the club down.
  2. I dont thin kRL would sell to him unless it was a fantastic price but perhaps MW would if it was above the going rate.
  3. I thought you lived in Southampton then Alps
  4. 1965, I cant believe a fan who could do something to save the club we love will sit back just to buy it on the cheap. If I was in the situation I wouldnt care if I was buying it from Pol Pot if it meant saving it from administration the potential loss of poiunts and this leagues status.Everyu pound potentially saved would be lost 4 or 5 times by relegation and the investment needed to return. I cant believe peoples dislike for RL and hope him ;losing money would be at the ezpense of our club. If we go down I cant see us ever retruning. If LC is in thep osition to buy MW's shares he should do so. Noone will be able to stop him and he would get a premium. I know he would then have to buy the rest of the shares but with a value at present of 6-7m it is not beyond him. From the little I see from today none of them come out of it with any credit. What a shambles, egos and arrogance from all sides win again.RL has a steely belief he is right and it seems unshakable, I do hope his plans include changing the manager very soon with a good experienced man.
  5. wasnt me , not enough grammar and spelling mistakes.
  6. I have not had time to read all the pages and so will do so. From what I have read so far, RL was arrogant (what a surprise) and blaming others. I agree there is blame to apportion to many not just 1. I call for the lot to go. Walking out achieved nothing in fact it surprises me that was done.It gave RL the moral high ground and made his job a lot easier. Get LC to buy the shares of MW and its job done.Im sure he will accept above 25p a share and so LC can then lead us forward,I cant see the problem.LM can buy a big tranche with the money he gained from the sale of shares a few years back and then the picture can be put back where it should be. Can you see my frustration, we have lots of people talking a good game but they dont come up with the goods.
  7. I do business with a few SA's and they have real trouble getting money out and so I would expect people trying to buy a fotball club could have problems.Of course they may already have assets abroad that could make it easier.I would myself be suspisious of anyone wishing to buy into football as it is quickly becoming.
  8. Do you know posts like that are more likely to make people stiffen their resolve. Jonah is within his rights to post his opinion and to be fair much of it resounds with me as well.If you are not bright enough to debate you should keep to posting to others who can only deal in school playground jibes. Put your points forward and then argue the point, it is more fun
  9. Roger you would know MC from your sporting connections, get her to tell us who is there to take over the reins and give us a financial lift. I dont care who is chairman as long as the club is run on a sound financial footing.I watched as the masses cele=brated in glory last time we had our 'saviours'. All those who swore that not to worry the new people were putting fans first and no players were going to be sold. Well after the directors box was enlarged so they were more comfy it seemed to come to an abrupt end. Put forward a crefdible change and Im with you. The removal of RL would cost the club a lot of money again unless somebody buys him out.LC it is said is wealthy enough why doesnt he act, he must be able to make MW an very good offer and then he is the kingmaker.Perhaps he is all talk, who knows. As for world class football , that is madness.
  10. Sadly he hasnt sacked him yet. If falling on your sword for employing a bad manager is reason to resign then there would be thoudsands of culls a week around the country.It would also mean that Jan will never lose his job as RL would not do so if it meant stepping down. Who is stepping forward to take over by the way?
  11. I wasnt there and so will wait for a neutral view of the procededings.All due respect some are so anti that we may not be getting a balanced view of things. i agree that the letter was stupid and why would he think the need to read it out anyway.Did he do so in answer to criticism. RC is RC and he did a stupid thing throwing the coins, he was rightly ejected. Im amazed that a clever man like LM who knows the ropes got involved in the slanging. I do not like the reply Ann McMenemy got regarding LM's picture (Iam not his greatest fan of him after he left us in the 80's) but would like him to be properly recognised. I hope we dont have the anti Lowe songs at SMS as it will not help our young side, who are playing badlty enough at home recently.
  12. You forgot Askham and some others. The fans in the main are decent people who only want a club we can be proud of. I still feel more for the current team than I have done so for a few years.It is the manager who needs to be gone and RL has to show leadership and move him on.Yes he will get flak as peopl will say it was his mistake, but he has to be above that and make the decision. A change of manager who may galvanise the team will bring us to safety and so relieve the pressure on him.
  13. That scenario is just what we kept hearing for the last 2 years about our takeovers. Are you serious when you are saying that you believe that they are going to pay £60+ m. I think you will fiond that even Gaydamek said he wanted 20m so it doesnt add up. These rumours will drive you mad as they did us. I would think that the Rand was too weak for them to be splashing too much cash at present. Adams will not last I agree with that, he is a little unhinged IMO. You need to get things on an even keel quite quickly or you will be in the scrap at the bottom not the top.I had you down for at least 8th but the way things are looking iot may be 13th or worse.
  14. madness, have youy seen Robesrtson play?
  15. I agree with Matron, I have questioned Lalana but mainly in pointing out the unfair criticism of DMG. Both have been thrown in and up againsyt more experienced pros who know how to stop them.
  16. I dont think you should go on tour with material like that UM, keep to the stuff you did the other night. PS It did seem to me you were trying to scoff at my post but we all have different ideas of humour.
  17. Your wording was not clear, working with the coaching staff is not how most would have put it.I suggest most would have said , my nephew is part of the youth squad. He hardly works, he trains or is that not the buzz word these days
  18. Amazing, considering the results and that the thousands who would not put money in RL's pocket. I for 1 am pleased, the club has had a windfall and we get a full stadium,thats where the good news stops though.Can we give them a bye now and not have the mauling imposed on us?
  19. NP had the advantage of not only some of the highly paid players but also the loaning of some more. I dont know the financial situation at SMS but the figures produced recently show we are in the mire. How you get quality of player and low cost I really dont know.What we need need I believe is a better qualified manager to instil the faith and confidence back intothose players. Has Jan got the qualities to egt them playing again? I dont believe so.

    NHS waste

    My cousin lived in Lordswood in a house that would be 25years old approx with a straight staircase with no turns. The chair was used once to take her downstairs as she went to the hospice. As for cleaning it, as her husband rightly said and with further upset to her memory that 'she didnt die of leprosy'. I understand BTF and her loyalty to the local government, we both have different perspectives to the situation. I cannot see how the seat and motor could not be utilised even if the straight rail might not fit in with health and safety. I do hope people who make excuses for this waste do not get on their high horses about Global warming and the carbon footprints we all are leaving behind. Forget not this waste is costing us all including the very poor
  21. Jeesh have you got me wrong.A pacifist and politicallt correct lol.Extreme rasism is something im against, apart from that Iam more right wing and get sick and tired of all the Liberal ways that have been forced on us. You really believe that 15k will turn up in L1!!!! We dont have that now.If we do as Leicester are doing then we will get 15-22k if as I think we will do in L1 and the crowds will be 9k or lower. Where is Fulthoprpe? and Salz all these people have raised our hopes of ridding the club of the rotten core but no they sit on their hands and are either waiting for us to be picked up for peanuts or are just all talk and in turn causing more instability. I still think this yungside can stay up comfortably but we need a manager who has got steel drive and vision to get them playing to their potential.Jan I find difficult to understand what he is trying to get across and I suspect thep layers dont get it either.
  22. Snowballs you get confused with being even handed with defending.You and others told us 'anyone but RL' We were grandly toold that we had our club back and it was football first.You wouldnt listen and seem to have not learnt from your mistakes. If you really believe that Administration would definately rid us of RL etc and we would be better off, then you are not as bright as you think you are. Whatever happens we may go down, whoever was chairman would see crowds drop to under 9k. many who bang the drum against RL dont ven go to games and so if we went into administration and the best players given away it would not effect their enjoyment or quality of entertainment as Teletext is just as exciting if you are in the PL or L2. I go to home games and pay my entrance fee to watch the club I have supported for 40 years. If we go down so be it, I will be a mug who still will go and look forward to better times, not sit at home and wait until then. I never have gone to games thinking who is the chairman as i dont think it matters as much as who is on the pitch or manager.I understand that the chairman picks the manager,but a manager can be good at some clubs and useless at others. The divisiveness has been self induced, from day one many didnt like him due to various reasons and use him for a blame culture that effects our society more and more. I will say again let him go I wont miss him but if so demand that they all go lock stock and barrel because they all have had their part to play in the disgusting fall ofr our club.
  23. but how do you know.If NP had the same constraints and couldnt play the 'star' names I doubt he would be better or worse off. It is easy to pluck him out of the air and make these grand statements. he failed to gain fantastic results when he was here and forget not the home game against Burnley and the away game at Cardiff where they were gimme games as they were protecting themselves from a cup final and the other going through the motions as they had nothing to play for.We were saved with only 20minutes to go.It was hardly fantastic stuff.He also had the advantage of getting some very high paid players on the books for those games on loan
  24. If that was the case then Woodford should have gone when LM got us relegated. Efvery PM would last less than a year. All businesses make howlers but it is not the main man who in t5he main loses his job. I think that as people depise RL so much they do not use even handed arguements. Who appointed G&D last season, I think it was LC (I may be wrong) but whoever should have resigned if you are going to use the same arguement on RL. Ps Sad old git alluded to your nephew, is he someone at SMS?
