yeah I can see Tesco and every retail business going around repricing all their stock.The cost of doing so in time is more costly. The prices will stay the same. Shops are slashing prices more than 2.5% and still things are not moving.This is just another sly way of upping Vat longterm but dressing it up to look customer friendly. Mandy is back and he knows how gullible people are. Cynicism at its best. I and others said months back on here to get rid of your credit card debt if possible as we were in for a rocky ride.Returning from America i am not at all hopeful that things will get better quickly.

I tell you what you go and buy 100k worth of shares and not expect something back. All the shareholders could put their money into a building society and get 5% so why not invest it in shares and expect a return on their money? That is business. From little acorns and all that, you can get all windy and try and bin the new way without giving it a proper chance but myself Im prepared to watch and see if it florishes. We have tried the other way.

stanley you really dont understand thwe implications of administration. Tell me if saints went into administration and RL did go biut we were relegated would you go to watch us in L1 and pay say 20 quid plus to watch them.I suggest you wouldnt,it would be 'im not payiong 20 quid to watch lower league football'

Just logged on and returning from the US tuesday(of course we are on the internet and so I may really be holidaying in Woolston). I expected that Pompey would have been sold by now, after all Ho has been telling us they were a done deal.As for being a city you have to may a university as well to be a city.As for Pompey having 2x cathedrals, they are world reknowned you often see them on commemorative stamps and in tourist broucheres.I really didnt know they had one. Are you not getting confused when you saw somne Cathedral city cheese in the lcal news and food? Funny enough you can buy htat for about a pound

I heard a slightly different version

how have i outed someone? I dont know who LS is I was pm'd who it was and that turned out to be wrong. Personally i dont care who LS is, but this site i would have thought should be very wary as the person is putting up sensitive private information, that i would have thought could be deemed as slander at best (ie re Wilde) It is trying to play games, slipping in little so called in the know stuff but then nothing happens. Sooner or later the truth will come out Im sure.

I never said that NP would not have worked with the youngsters. I did say that whoever was chairman would have had to make some spectacular cuts.Now if it wasnt at the high end earners it would have been at the other high cost base where it would make IMMEDIATE savings. The acadamy would be the other if not the high earners. I like others could have stomached NP and happy to see what he could do. I dont rate him as high as others and he has got hero staus after 16 games in charge, and took us to within 45 minutes of relegation after taing over when we were still away from relegation danger. Having said that it was good to see fans behind him and that was a big plus. Please tell me where the savings would be made if we kept most of the experienced players and the acadamy, I dont think that is possible.

the question is too hard for you to understand, never mind you are even getting confused with your name

not an intergrity alert at all, just a case of a person who thinks that their alleged team they support are wished to lose.Soi therefore yes you can only be allegedly a fan as I cant see a fair reason to wish so in this case.

well if we are to accept the email chapter and verse perhaps Wildes comment about LC's excesses should be taken very seriously.So far many have said Lc was not responsible for gross overspending and made excuses but if MW is correct then LC must have been causing concern, and so administration under him must have been very likely

How is she seen as sane???? A alleged fan who wants the team to lose. I think Im right saying that this person put in a thread that she put her weight behind Lowes return.(so was that a figure of speach or someone who had voting rights?) Therefore it questions her judgement as in as little time as 6months she has now changed her mind (a womans perogative of course) or is it because of self interest i wonder!! It seems to me she has has the confidence of some one who is feeding information that is then put on this site, for whose benifit I wonder.Were you not the poster who was very defensive of LM and would have nothing said against him? It is not for the reason to keep the fan base happy thats for sure. LS get your person to commit or clear off as whoever it is they are not helping the club at this moment in time.

If you wish to question my integrity then that is your perogative. I am not singing from anyones songbook but my own wheras........

I know for a fact that before RL returned that LC was told by the banks that they would support the club but everything that moved had to be gone to keep their support. The acadamy would be an easy way to slash the costs, as the products are long term the savings immediate.This would be to accomodate us keeping a few of the higher earners. LC got rid of Rasiak but that was down to the enormous wage package he is on. As for closing the corners It has been suggested that LC had that in mind and if so whoopee action at last. Would we have such a uproar if he had, and would he actually gone through with it? Popularity is something nobody relishes losing. I dont care whop is chairman as long as he stops us going into administration.I do know if we do, we will go down as the young team would not be able to to make up the difference. Next season the same old faces will be putting up the 'Im not paying 215 quid to watch L1 football'. If they cant turn up now they bloo## well wont a league lower.

are you a child? How will a defeat against the league leaders make a difference to a PLC. When you jump for joy as we go into administration i do hope you will remember your wishes for us to lose as you wont go as you dont want to pay to watch Saints v Rochdale or the like. You are misguided, and should act more responsibly. i dont expect you to like the chairman but your are so wrong if you hope for the clubs demise

RL came back IMo to protect his investment and to do so he had to try and keep us from administration. You say that LC was going to do those things but fans blame RL for them would they be so vitriolic about it had LC done the same? WHOEVER was chairman had to make dramatic changes. Now perhaps LC may have kept NP(highly likely) and also then in turn some of the high earners.he would have wished to have signed a few players as well.To fund this the acadamy would have been shut down ,period. A lot of the young promising players would be sold and IMO allegedly as last time he would have hidden the truth as in where he told us he had not got the Theo etc deals paid up early. the course RL has taken is brave but also perhaps reckless but he has to see it through or somebody (the person who is sending out info that is being spread on here perhaps) actually move and do something.

where were you when we were s###. oh supporting the opposition

a ray of light from a sea of darkness

UMP Stewart Dennis said on Radio Hants that the break even figure was 17k.I can only assume he is well placed to hear these things. i think also that it is hard for all of us to read posts by LS etc saying the end is near 'as i said so' or "i was told' and so better believe it. I would respectfully suggest we understand there are a lot of people being used as pawns to try and apply pressure on the fan base. Whowould it serve best if the fans started the Lowe out chants again? it seems to me that LS has all of a sudden appeared and has had an agenda since day 1 and so do we have to accept 100%all that is put is fair and balanced? Do you also believe that if we went into administration the club would be a fantastic opportunity? I dont as Saints in L1 would have gates of sub 10k and still very high overheads with NO acadamy. Let RL or whoever is in charge keep us from admin at all costs and if we stay up things will look a lot brighter next season. If LC is to inject money then lets hope he does it fast but if he is sitting on the sidelines stirring the dirt shame on him.

yes sorry am at Florida Keys and so slipped into yank talk...have a nice day by the way

Im away on vacation and thought Id log on and have a look whats going on...then I see this thread!!!! What a nonsense dispicable idea. As if losing to a top of the league club is going to make any difference. LS i know you are bitter and twisted about RL but the only losers are us. Re think your position and wish for us to win and then again and again , that would be am uch quicker way of us getting back to some sort of stability. A few wins and your anti RL campaign would be put back in the box as the crowds would grow and the fans will stay behind the team.

I think I d rather keep the one we've got than that list..and Peter Taylor!!

He'd be all talk, all of us would donate a lottery win to Saints ...until we won it.NO offence OSM but when the push comes to the shove I doubt any of us would risk all our wealth for the club

bloody hell and I htought you were important and wel connected and would have at least a parking space at the stadium

Morph, I do hope you are right and that you are not playing games.Afterall your claim that Salz was going to be there yesterday did not materailise apparently.

not me DD, that was people like warnock, Dowie.I was very much for him before NP was chosen.
