I would have thought so and as I said earlier we are likely to be in for a very bumpy and uncertain ride for a few years at least. But at least we have avoided Administration for the very immediate future.

Thanks Steve, that was the confirmation I was awaiting. Well done to the Bond Holders and Barclays for continuing to support SFC.

Except Leon opposed signing Euell but was overrulled by the executive. The John deal was down to Burley and the executives as well although I do not know Crouches opinion on that one.

I am not really sure what "short term" means. I suspect it will be until the end of this financial year. If we survive financially I can state without doubt we will still have a very bumpy financial ride for the next couple of years.

Agree with all that particularly the "going concern". Unless SLH can secure some working funds we are done for. But I am pretty sure it can be sorted short term.

He came on for 2nd half in a reserve game in October, played the next reserve game in full and disappeared off the radar again, assume injured. We did well selling him it seems. Sad for him as he had potential but he seems highly injury prone.

Done.

This is the position as at today having just received emails following enquiries last evening.. Drew, Adam and their families and their agents are unaware of any attempt to sell them or any bids for them. They still want to play for Southampton. If something has been lined up they are unaware so any talk of pre contractural agreements are pure nonsense. Those of you who know where I get my player information from will know this statement is as factual as it can be. The rest of you will just have to trust my posting.

Nope not Marc. He never got a penny

Ran off with the money laughing all the way to the bank. I am not joking.

It was a joke!!

Good point. If they can get enough interested they might get some media coverage.

I think Nickh should be banned for outing someone

Shilton

No not Crouch. He has supporters out there. As for Admin, Crouch was aware of our position and the need to cut back. From what I am told he firmly believes he would have kept us out of Admin with a Manager who was making a difference. That opportunity has gone now. He firmly feels the way Lowe is running things is adding to the Admin risk. A manager without the right experience of CCC football, interference from Lowe in team selection and paying supporters who are turning their back on the club. Lowe considers that Crouch would have put us in Admin by now or soon and that he was the best option to sort it out. Lowe will only step down if someone comes in with enough money and a three year plan. Without it is just a shuffle of the pack. The two sides are in conflict.

One thing is clear to me from what I know from both sides. There is no money or just a couple of million at the most. It will be a shuffle of the pack. Different idea's, different styles. Who is best suited? Who knows as they have all had a chance previously.

Is this aimed at me???

This is how it really works. Crouch held the balance. Of that I know because the Wilde bunch told me at the Northam meeting. At that meeting Crouch kept his powder dry and his cards close to his chest. He approached Lowe to discuss but ultimately could see that Lowe had lost the support of the fans and that keeping him in power would have been divisive. However he held 10% of the shares and wanted a position on the board. With his votes tipping the balance Wilde had no alternative but to give him a place. If he had not, Lowe would, to keep him in power. So Lowe was to blame and Wilde was correct but stretching it to the level he did in the email made me smile at the time it was sent. What the disclosure does show is, with opinions like this, how can Wilde work with Lowe? Ego, Ego, Ego and of course a fear of losing everything. There is support for Lowe (minor) and many against but I have yet to hear any good word for Wilde. Surely he would be better off selling up now even if it is to Crouch supporters. It will change the balance nicely. It may not help solve the issues but it will be a start. One out of the way for good.

Wolves manager Mick McCarthy: "I don't know at the end of it whether we're worthy winners or whether we got out of jail a bit in the second half. "A third goal would have killed the game but of course they went up the other end and scored and it made it a nervy second half. "They kept passing and playing and I'm pleased we managed to come away with the points."

Supposed to be after the game today.

Is he about to get his cards? That is what I was told today at the game by an outsider on the inside.

Agree with all of that. Disappointed but a spirited display.

The loan note holders continue to support SLH.

Jonah, you will know I have respect for your views but you also need to know that during the period when the others were in control Duncan was openly critical of them on the forum. Did you know that he was actually summoned to the club by Oldknow to explain his criticism of it on the previous forum - that is hardly keeping quiet.

It has been suggested to me that Wilde might consider selling at 35p a share. Anyone out there with a spare £1.6m. However it is unlikely he will sell to Salz or Davies even if they came in.
