more times that I had thought.You are wrong in at least 1 of those

Talk about closing the stable door after the hrse has bolted!!! The regulations should have been tightened after Northern Rock at the latest. Anyone with a bit of nous could see the folly of lending when people cant affford it. Peoples wages were going up 3-4% but property 15% and more.However you dress it up it is not sustainable and sooner or later it would go wrong.I misjudged the market too early and downsized my house 3 years ago so to save a lot of my gain, better too early than late but I probably missed out on 20%, that will soon come home to daddy when things get worse but if I could see it the financial whizzkids did but they didnt care as they were getting massive bonusses by ignoring it...as for our government what is their excuse except for opinion polls.Did Blair do Brown up like a kipper or what?

perhaps the admins should consider a Free 3 month trial instead of dropping prices.

that may be true but the best most desirable ringtones you pay for. You can get fake Louis Vitton or fake Rolex's but the copies are never quite as good.

true, i must agree it is dull at times but when the site was down for a few days people moved away to other sites, new ones have sproated up and so this site will never re kindle what S4e was. The competition is too fierce and too many wont cough up.

The attendance thing is a problem. If we bought a couple of players how would that guarentee thousnads turning up on the back of it.Afterall we are told fans are not going because RL is there.The only guarenteed way is to put out a winning side and unless we get a backer we have to make a wining side from the little resource we have. Or is there another way? IMO it is survival this season and not getting into administration and then perhaps improving next, but by not going into administration is paramount.

I dont think that the £5 will make any difference. If you want freebies go elsewhere.To have Corp only post 3 times a day is worth every penny.I cant believe people who will pay money for ringtones or all the other nonsense then baulk at a fiver for hours of entertainment.

you mustn't forget the great British public who have credit card bills as long as your arm. None of them understand financial prudence (oh dear Im not allowed to mention that)

BTF I agree with you on that but where were the regulators or the government in this? The banks were a special case on this and the shortsellers should haveb een stopped immediately. They have overseen the speclators gathering around and did nothing to stop what was an apparent ambush. Millions have been made by a few people with no principle. I have no time for the bankers who took their bonusses from selling poeple mortgages even though it was patently obvious they could never be repaid.How can you lend people 125% mortgages and not realise that it would go wrong? This governemnt changed the regulations about lending etc(you think differently) t give us boom and now we are going to have the worst bust ever.

So did your fans abuse your board yes or no? If you dont reply by 10 oclock tonight you admit you are a pathetic little toady

it used to be a million million in my understanding but I think now its a 1000m. i must look at my bank statement to see

What you do with your free time is of no interest to me Derry

isnt 224m nearly quater of a billion then?

i agree Askham is the one person Id like gone over all others.

It doesnt take a lot to work that out. The secret is providing jam when all the ingredients you have is fruit that is not ripe and your housekeeping is all gone.

I did put charity, although as he has not been back I suspect the conviction of his words are not quite as those of his head when push comes to shove. The money would be coming to my choice of charity anyway

Chez I understand but the cost per head to keep the corner open was more than any other part of the ground.It had to be done. That corner would not have made a difference to the overall atmosphere eithr.

Now I can agree with that. If I was asked to budget pre season for crowd average I would have said 16-18k not the low ones at present. I myself dont believe he is trying to make us like Crewe as that is not the way forward.He is doing what he is because the youngsters are on low wages compared to the old pro's and probably as able to equip themselves as well if not better for the wage bill we at this moment can afford. I think we are treading water while he gets the club back on a better financial footing (although difficult in the trading conditions) and hopefully the team will develop for next season after they have earnt their spurs at this level.Yes players will go but will be replaced by other starlets or if th money imroves a better quality of older player.

No I wouldnt although the Skate on the Lounge I would. The point is if you are always picking holes in others and jumping on anything to make it seem you are correct, it a bit pathetic if you dont qualify your arguement.

I dont think he would, he wouldnt wish to risk money on a club that was on -15. I think that would test the resolve of too many fans

So a player who we had not heard of is plucked from another team and plays for us, why will that not happen again and again? Mix that with pormising youngsters and as the team grows we will get a stronger unit. It would be better for us to have a team of good useful players than starlets. We have been ruined by our success in getting some great players, many clubs get relegated after promotion and nobody wants their squad, we lose players when we nearly get relegated.We need to let the core of this team grow together and if the odd one leaves there is always someone else who becomes the star, Lallana is hardly a Theo yet and so that is why I beleive he will be here a while longer yet.

DD to be fair your mate does give out a lot of opinions but never replies to direct questions if he thinks there is any chance of holes being picked in it.You will lay out your plans and others also but him, I have asked for a reply about 10 times but he ignores the question.

Your user name is apt LF. My train crash analogy is correct. 32000 turned up for the last game because it was going to be drama. It had nothing to do with NP RL MW LC. Those fans paid top money to watch a great day they had great fun but still did not go to games before that or after. Some fans may not go due to RL, but they wont go if he's not there either, because it will be because it's too expensive, or the bus isnt free or a steward gave me a funny look or my burger was cold, or they sell Yorkies but i like Mars bars. The fans I stood with last night were probably the majority that the club can rely on (there are some living too far away or abroad or financially not able) but in the main the hardcore support. That is what RL has got to work with or LC or whoever. Now when an Arab with riches takes us over and spends 500m on the team but decides RL is the best man to keep the club to run financially those so called stay aways due to Lowe will forget all their principles because we are playing Man utd. It is not a dig at you per say but I would guess that if we were in the PL within a couple of seasons and are in a cup final even though Lowe was there many would return.

This posts just shows me how far the club has fallen if lLallana is the person who is the crux to success.Dont get me wrong I like him but he is only just learning his trade and is a long way from the finished article. If our youth system does its job there will be others, but our best youngster las night was not Lallana IMO but Cork who is not our player.

I would have wanted Davies as manager, but the set up would not be able to afford the costs.
