No as you will read above why.Next time, I already know how to get your name up.

I hadnt thought of him... boy that may be almost impossible.Next time then!! I got my list from looking who was on line and on the post match report and so tried to get as many in as possible.Not a bad return.

It will be ironic if the fans are disappointed when RL has been replaced and knowing that the new men will dismantle what we have, and go back to 'star' names.

There was no way id have been able to get your name on but it was on the list.

This team may be something to be proud of.

He's from Bournemouth

No I went to Grammer school and left at 16

Yeah you were near the start when I mentioned playing at the Boggy Baseball ground.

was that when I mentioned you then DD?

I had a whole list but Hoodie cut me off.Although Im not sure how Id have got saintjay77 in the conversation I dont know it was hard enough getting Legodsecond coming. I hope you enjoyed it anyway.

I tried to get as many as I could before being cut off.Boggy, DD, Exit, Le God, Perenial, MrX, I was going to end with Always Saints but Peter Hood cut me off for Jans interview

I thought it was you....kidding DD. I might give it a call and try and drop a few of the user names on here.

imagine you played for Burnley (but a Saints fan)and whilst the fans adored you Fulham came in for you. They offered you the chance of PL football and wages, the so called glamour of being a PL player, and the chance to come back South. You had that choice or seeing a season of toil and unrest, playing with a lot of kids who were learning the game and already in the bottom 3 and the club looking to ask the higher earners to take a pay cut. What in your hearts would your choice be.I doubt if all of us were honest we'd want to leave. That is how I see AD's choice.

A lot of myths that were brought about by disinchanted fans and then blown up. It would interesting to know who these people were who were there.As we know directors etc do read this board and make it theior business to check. The fitness thing is another nonsense as the players use Pro Zone and that did not show up the evidence you thought you saw. Are you saying the youngsters are not fit as they have let in 2 late goals in recent games? As for the last 3 months, the results compare favourably to the period NP was in charge.

Andrew Davies played 23 times in the CCC in those games we won only 4 drew 10 and lost 9 including at least 1 5 goal drubbing. Now if you were looking to buy a centre half and tried to value him I doubt those figures would get you all sweaty with excitement. I dont know if RL understands football or not but I think its fair to say he does know how to get a good price for a footballer. The fee was undisclosed and so we are not sure what we received.Add to that Davies has just had a knee operation and not at this time fit (we know what knee operations do if they dont heal correctly) Therefore to get money in for a player who may still be out for months is OK business.Now if he had played and was fit I'd understand the fretting but as with Killer we waited and waited and waited for his return and that cost us dear. We have the money and that keeps us afloat a bit longer.

ahhhh I see

if we can sell him fine. To loan him out and him sense the fans are jubilant does us no favours if he comes back disillusioned by not being wanted.

how do you know? we may have someone in the reserves to do a similar job

but how can he be uncontroversial as you keep telling us he was a drunk. What about McLeish, Irvine, Davis, and there are others

That is fair comment.

Unfortunately you do not at times have the mental capacity to see. Go to the squad list to when he arrived and then strip it of over 20 players who wrre failing or on high wages and so had to be got rid of.This was part of GB's remit when RL employed him. Lowe could see we needed to trim the costs but of course you went on a long campaign of getting rid of the financial sense and went big time for the obvious nonsense of the Wilde bunch. Now after you strip a squad of 20 + players, that leaves holes and so GB had to replace some positions.Now some of those purchases were of players who you whine about not playing now, ironic eh. Add to his success under those transistional teams of getting us to the playoffs and turning players forgotten in the reserves or said to be no good into multi million pound sales. I didnt panic when the team had been dismotivated by losing 3 of the star players and was heading for mid table. Only when G&D were appointed as you were warned did we plummet. So overall he was a success, you may also add the fact in the last week you have been proclaiming how sad it is selling players 1 was bought by GB the other brought into the team by him.

Well you may think he was poor but people away from our club, people who looked in from outside of the panic and hysteria assessed that he did in fact do an ok job and so offer him an International post.That is a fact (International post) They saw what was going on and that everytime it looked as though we had a team the players were sold. This is always morale sapping and even WGS had enough of it when he was here. You may have your opinion but it is not fact. ps I think we have done GB to death so how about just accepting we both have differing views and leave it there, the same as GB has.

Its impossible to rationally give an answer to that in one word. Yes would be my answer in the main as my answer would not be no as I tske into account circumstances. NP would be the same in my book while G&g would be a definate No, of course some fans didnt wish to listen when they were told it would be them if GB was sent packing. 'Anyone but Burley' FFS

Thats if it is a loan and not a loan with option to buy of course.
