Members Only Club has a good ring to it. The little urchins would be allowed to put their little snotty faces to the windows 3 times a day, although after a period of time we could shush them away from annoying the paid up patrons.Soon I would envisage that there would be a vote to allow new members in, a bit like the Masons. We may even develop a special handshake, probably on the lines of the Nescafe advert.

No Im happy with my first words....although we do need people to serve the drinks, and so I might make allowances especially to exotic dancers

This site has become more upmarket now the riff raff can't afford to join up. We dont wish to be polluted by the oiks and will carry on with our own Gentlemens club and leave the outsiders to troll around for freebies. Now be off with you.

it would be better if Piers Morgan had burnt down.I watched a little of his interview with Pammy last night and it was amusing watching trying to not keeplooking at her chest.

LIES!!!!! Point out my lies . Many fans could see or knew that we would go for the obvious appointment of G&D, like we also told you the Wilde bunch were all talk.You carried on with your campaign to undermine the manager. You got your way similar to getting your way regarding the removal of RL and look where that took us. How many times do you need to be bitten before you'll learn dont put your hand in the dogs mouth? Again GB walked the same as GH LM and Bally none of them came away with any credit for doing so either.Forget about GB he's past move on to the future.

fair enough...but he is the root of all evils...kidding

Well then OSM. Considering you dont know who I am and the said person ive never heard of I dont know how you can have a conversation about me. PM me who you think I am and Im certain you have mistaken identity.

Im glad you have persuaded them to wait until fulltime before asking for Jan to be sacked, I'll give a while longer as I myself cannot see any more suitable way forward at present. Lets forget bringing back a kitman who was nearly at retirement age and go forward with the youth.

Ahhh the man who tells us he's right and proved so, is now wriggling.You were told by me and many other posters that G&D would be appointed.You wouldnt wish to listen but carried on with your campaign to undermine the clubs manager and wished for anyone but burley. Well you had your wish and from a mid table team we plummetted to relegation fighters. As I said before Burley is history none of us can prove either way who was right or wrong, he has walked away from us like others and like others will get what he deserves for dropping us.

So you are saying you never said 'anyone but Burley' ? . DD you might not realise but you do jump in to defend Alpine on other issues.It may be as you agree but you do defend him on here quite often.

As you are are Alpines sidekick I will take that with a pinch of salt. Alpine predicts woe every time and of course at times it will be seen to be true.You still have brushed over the fact that he was told that G&D would be installed countless times and he came back with 'anyone but Burley.' Well thank the lord they club didntr stick with the anyone but GB as we would have been relegated. GB has left and so he is no better than GH, LM, Bally and any other manager who has walked out on us to go to pastures new.

You were 100% spot on were you? I notice you have disappeared from the thread where you were asked to show us your financial brain. Obviously it is on a shelf in a jar. I dont rate Macedonia but fans have short memeories of a game v England at SMS. I suggest before you get too triumphant and proclaiming you are right(something nobody can prove) you should wait and see what transpires. I dont follow Scottish national football , but am I right in saying they were decimated by injuries or have I got that wrong?

Dont worry OSM while you are buying the drinks they will be right behind you as soon as the money dries up you won't see them for dust.

The new system was always going to take time to get up and running like it used to.When big news happens then I expect there will be a headlong rush to subscribe and get views aired. Ido find it a shame there is less traffic but as others have said the loss of a Skate is worht every penny. As for Essru's sarcastic assessment Im surprisded as I always sound and not a bitter type of person, unless I have misunderstood his post.

OSM what time do you get stuck into the Cider or sherry where you are, by your posts the cork has come out of the bottle a bit early today

I dont recall the name. I was only at Bellemoor for about a year and so the teachers names are a bit vague. I was well known as a Saints nut in my schooldays and if he were there no doubt I would have spoken to him.My elder brother was there from about 68-72 also a Saints fan. The black and white thing I understand, Im sure if I was on the more anti side Id be very cynical but his way at the moment seems the only sensible way forward.

MR G is NickG. As for the rest of the post you have lost me. Alpine my only friend?????? or me his??? I support RL in a lot of htis as I can see wht he is trying to do.MrW has seen sense and now seems to be in agreement that it is the correct way forward, he is a buinessman and is obviously not so stubborn not to accept he was wrong last time and now trying to resurrect the club with the plan. I would rather the club be strong financially but still use the youth and a mix of older players but still playing the way we are. OK it would be great to be like Man City and know you will be buying the best players in the world, but at the same time you watch all those 'Man City fans' come out of the woodwork rushing to buy s/ts all of a sudden.The fans who saw the bad days deserve all the success but just you wait for a couple of years and you will see their shirts on kids playing in the parks down here.Those clubs are devoid of soul and at present Im still proud as punch of being a Saints fan and know when Im at SMS the fans there are the lifeblood of our club and live and die Saints fans.

Thats the good thing about football different opinions. Hammil was not a threat against us in fact he was very poor his control was average his crossing too long and his shooting.....well

Again neither of us know the truth of the plan put forward.RL coming from financial circles probably realises if you try to pull wool over there heads they soon would lose faith in any of your other predictions.So I hope he has been realistic

yes you can factor a lot of that in. My experience of corpoates are though more of people going for a free day out who in the main would not be football fans first. Many are rugger or cricket men.

Some of that is true except you being right of course. In general I myself am much closer in thought to MR G

Wes s very good assessment I would say. As for bu## on seats we have had 2 home games 1 of 19k+ and 1 of 15k +. Which 1 would you suspect would be closer to the norm taking into account of match time and on tv, against a bigger club who brought a fair following but not a major one. In the summer we had lots of posts on here with fans predicting 14-20k attendances. A hard nosed banker who sees all the wild predictions from many businessmen take a view on the plan in front of them and can assess for themselves how far out the predictions are in their opinions. if the predictions ar fanciful they would immediately be suspicious of the whole plan. As I believe RL is a cautious type I would expect him to have used close to worst case scenario and then go from there.

HR is not even in the running for WHU according to Sky, has he counted himself out of the job?

He was over hyped when he joined us and overhyped in your assessment saturday IMO. He was poor saturday and he was deservedly dropped under GB. If he was a free transfer that would be too much

So banks didnt have a business plan placed in front of them? RL walks into the Northam branch of Barclays and says 'dont worry we will be alright.' and the teller replies 'thats ok, we'll put another couple of mill aside for you.' Tell us how YOU would have dealt with the present situation? Taking into account we had losses of 200/300k a week to deal with. You must also in your plan keep Rasiak and Saga because that is what you have banged on about. So go on Mr Financial brain actually come up with a valid arguement/business plan. I myself have this week contacted David Luker and asked why, as the corners are closed was that not used to have advertising on them especially where the cameras faced. It if implimented is something that will give the club more finance. He did reply and said they were looking to do so.It was my daughters idea BTW not mine, but may give the club another revenue stream.
