I didnt realise you needed my imput to get the debate moving.

tractor boys im told by my mate in Suffolk

Gloating about it!!!! Passing forward a bit of info is now gloating. I will be at SMS tomorrow noght as worried as any other fan about the result, but as always i will be unable to have any control over the squad or team selection, all I can do is support who is put onto the pitch. Wednesday morning it will you be gloating that 'you told us it would be rubbish' if we lose or others talking about a good result.

Thats fair but as Rudi is probably off the arguement moves from the validity of ridding us of his wages against his ability. At present I dont believe he has made himself a must play memeber of the team.Although I would like to have seen him utilised a bit more wioth the young lads as i think he had the potential to helpo bring them on.

I think it was valid in the fact that you were throwing your arms up in disbelief that the club are desperately trying to get their finances in order. For someone who rarely tried to help in that direction to stir the pot seemed out of order. You also started by making a comment that i was happy that we were weakening the squad, which is not the case.

I doubt that the 9 have cost much at all. Morgan being the exception. I dont think many would argue that he will become a very good acquisition. Holmes,Perry and the others were free agents, weren't they which is different to free transfers i think you will find.

No pointing out the fact. Im not a RL apologist, Ijust see that a football club is vet complex and you cant blame one person for relegation. I was surprised to see Charlton just above us, and they havent as yet had to cull their squad. It will happen very soon and they will be with us in the mire. Unless you get your costings sorted at teh moment NO club will be allowed to over borrow.

Lordswood Rudi is off as well I think you will find. Not certain but that is what I had heard.

lol

Alpine as sombody who actually goes and has saints as part of my relaxation/pastime I am not happy that the squad is weakened. Your outburst is not called for, if he had played every week with SJ , alongside Rasiak and Saga you still wouldnt go when you lived here. So dont give me all your nonsense.

I dont know the details Um but if he is off the wage bill then that is good. Some get all lathered up about him, I myself dont get too concerned if he goes , afterall he played saturday. I understand if the deal is worse than in the summer that is not good but Im not privy to the the costings. If he performs they hopefully will buy him straight out. SJ and Rudi will knock a large chunk off the losses and the bank will be happy. The fans wont be happy but we may get somone in (another midfielder I think I read !!!!)

Rudi will be gone before the end of the week, probably wednesday the Tractor is on its way tocollect him a mate from that end tells me

He ddi have a hard job butr all managers at our club since WGS have had a hard jib as our expectations were raised. NP was able to bring in some highly paid and experienced players. Jan has had to rid the club of those and use inexperienced young players.I dont think Jan is up for the job but I am to be convinced that NP would have been able to do the same under the same circumstances.Unless we quickly get investment it is going south whoever is in charge.

Being a person who has been sympathetic to RL regarding finances I believe while he is at the club the fans will not be united. NP was a chance to unite the fans (i dont think he's a great manager ) but he for whatever reason left the club and so the fans had another wedge put in the way of unity.

thats it when in the financial mire up the costs. The four corners will only make the ground seem more empty and as far as I can see the kit always arrives for the team to wear. RL is fine cutting the costrs but any involvement in the football selection etc would be no go as far as Im concerned.

I want the whole lot gone although i do feel that AC is a decent person and LC a true fan. The minutes were interesting but for me this sentence was the most worrying 'AC commented that the previous plan “B” which should have been implemented in the event of the club remaining in the Championship without the benefit of parachute payments had not been implemented and that costs were apparently still being held at Premiership levels.'

Forget not he took us to within 45 minutes of being relegated. Saying that I was happy for him to be given a go for 1 reason.It was the first time in a long time that the fans in the main were united.

now that is true

Well being someone who expects honesty I find it distasteful, as you belong to a club that has never any morals then you would take that happily as though it was nothing.You as fans are being lied to and the wool being pulled over your head.

how did Rudi do?

My Pompey fan mayes have been on to me this morning and are pretty p####d off. He is now seen to be what he really is a self centred s##. By the way nobody has questioned how this has happened so quickly, I dont believe that a deal could be done from Friday evening and today.I thnk he was in talks early in the week.I wonder if there was any betting?

I have only just got in after being to see Spamalot. I was texted the result straight after the game and dont know much about todays game. I notice Alpine points the finger at me as 1 who wanted NP gone. Well please feel free to put up the post where I said so. i was happy for Np to stay but dont see him as a fantastic manager. I dont know if he would have done better the the Dutch but Ive not been too full of priase for them either.If he had the same financial constraints he may have done the same.

OSM but the very anti Lowe fans turn on them, it is a two way street. I even have had Saints fans joining up with Skates against me.Funny they (skates ) down join up against their own. Humility is needed on both sides at present.

Thanks you are correct.Iam just as disappointed as most but we have lost more important palyers than Stern over the years.

sorry . thanks for that..he's only 20 ffs
