Weston Saint

Likely to be small holdings who are Saints supporters and do not wish to sell or Wilde, Crouch, Lowe Group and supporters. Will the price go up? Depends on future investment plans. Will the price go down? Depends on whether we slip into Administration. The share price is not much affected by the wider market. I suspect it will bounce along with a max 5p move in either direction until something major happens. I suspect we are in a "HOLD" situation at present.

I spoke to a friend on Friday to see it it was him who purchased the 35,000 shares last Monday as he said he was going to. He said he tried to get £10,000 worth but was told by his stock broker that there were non spare in the market unless he was prepared to pay over the odds. He did not follow it up bt clearly someone did at a premiun rate. So it could be lack of avaialbility is the reason.

I think we need to make it clear the Andrew aka Scooby is NOT Andrew Cowen a Director of SLHplc

Why not say the likes of Skacel and our other overpaid players are to blame for not tearing up their contracts or taking a big pay cut!!!!!!. Snowballs2, I know it was a question from you but I am suprised someone like you with your business background would suggest such a thing

I heard about the increased overdraft and Barclays concern the week after the Doncaster game by a good source and have since had it confirmed from a totally separate source this week. Nothing new though, we knew the falling gates and the inability to sell any more of our high earners would result in a bigger losses. £2m in 3mths is worrying and just not sustainable.

Not a chance. I wold expect the going rate is about £150,000 per year for a COE in the Championship. It is said he only works 2 days a week for Saints officially as that is all the club can afford so about £60,000 per year is my guess. Bet I am not far out.

No we cannot, that is why we are going deeper into debt.

My informed but equally arguable opinion

I could see Administration coming much quicker with Mr Crouch. I can see relegation coming much quicker with Mr Lowe & Mr Wilde.

Jan played 4 3 3 at the start yesterday.

I am only stating the facts in answer to the original poster. Checked Saga's team and no he has not scored for them yet.

Davies not yet in Stoke squad and has not played this season yet. Still injured? What good would he have been to us? Saganowski - Has he scored for his loan club yet? Rasiak - fractured his shoulder at the beginning of the season with Watford and still not fit. Seems correct decisions on Lowes part if you ask me.

Because Crouch would not give him an option.

Banks pull the financial strings not dictating tactics, formations, team selection. That should be down to the Manager/Coach. The bank will say, your debt is increasing and it needs to be rectified. The club decide how that is done. Expect sales in January.

Just returned from watching a side likely to be relegated. Defending of set pieces is so so poor. Davis stays on his line too much and does not come to catch or punch. That puts the defence under even more pressure and goals result. Brian O'Neil (ex Saints player for you young'en) said at half time he was with Micky Channon in the week and they agreed the team has no heart. Those players in the heart of the team who can get a grip of the game is what I think he meant. We failed to challenge second ball all over the pitch. Let's make no mistake Watford are a poor side. We lack a clinical finisher up front. This team will be relegated but hopefully will be the better for it. I do not see any other way bearing in mind our ever worsening financial position and reducing attending fan base.

I suspect a gate of 18,000 or there abouts.

Nick Illingsworth would have got it from trusted sources or direct from the horses mouth but he has now been let down twice, as have many of us in the past.

Doubt it. Long Shot was told direct from Fulthorpe at Doncaster and then it was USA, Germany and somewhere else I cannot remember. Now it's Arab money!!!!! Don't listen to rumours people, they are just that, regurgitated half truths that alter in content from person to person. Long Shot had a one to one but what he was told did not materialise. This has been going on since May and there have been at least 5 first hand accounts told to me (spoke to Cousins or Fulthorpe direct) but none of the promises materialised.

No one remember Bill Dodgin. Took us to the brink of promotion to the old first division 2 years on the trott but then left for Fulham when the board allegedly meddled (where have we heard that before!)

Not going to happen imo. Too many false dawns. Too much chatter from those who are involved. Too much like the "tommac" incident without the comic postings.

Absolutely. I am not knocking what they are doing. Without their intervention on cost cutting we might already have sunk. And that is not to be taken as a dig against Crouch either.

But they are not reducing there debt, they are increasing it and that suggests the bank will be asking them to find ways to get back on track. It will not come from increased revenue in sales of tickets or merchandise. It will have to come from player sales. More misery to come in the transfer window I am afraid.

I was speaking to a friend on Friday and he asked me how the Fulthorpe bid was going and said he would buy £10,000 worth of shares on Monday to speculate. This was against my advice as I do not think the Fulthorpe thing will come to fruition. So it could be him and I would not read too much into it.

These are total wages for SLH Wage costs y/e 2005 £27,805,000 Wage costs y/e 2006 £18,811,000 (13 months) Wage costs y/e 2007 £15,062,000

Hi mate good to hear from you. I was 20 and my wife just 18 when we married much against the advice of our parents who never the less gave us all the support we could wish for when they realised we would go ahead in any event. We had been courting (old word I know but it was ok then) for exactly 3 years having been engaged for exactly 18 months. Have been happily married now for over 35 years with two girls aged 32 and 26. So it does work for some but as you will know you both have to work hard at it, be open and honest and share experiences. Sorry to all those who have tried but have not been so lucky.
