moonraker Posted 11 June, 2013 Share Posted 11 June, 2013 So not unusually Alpine is in a minority of 1. Whilst we all want to hear real news June is always a slow month in football terms. As to the kit announcements, there will be a kit, dates and details certainly don’t keep me awake at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to the kit announcements, there will be a kit, dates and details certainly don’t keep me awake at night. I think it is indicative of how the club is run that we have to wait so long for activity and/or news, and ultimately I think it is a limiting factor as to how far we can rise through the game.

Matthew Le God Posted 11 June, 2013 Share Posted 11 June, 2013 (edited) whats the point ? Your comments are all subjective, and you know my opinion about each of them because they are in the original post you responded to. For a couple of them youn say they arent relevant or dont matter, well I disagree. No they aren't! I asked you a number of questions, that isn't subjective I wanted an answer from you. Just respond to every point and question I posed like I did for you. You said to Colinjb that you want a discussion, then when someone does try to counter you refuse to back up your points.

pressingon Posted 11 June, 2013 Share Posted 11 June, 2013 Does every manager in every department just p*ss off for a month after the last game Feel free to do the same, on second thoughts take the whole summer and give us all a break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour Mash Posted 11 June, 2013 Share Posted 11 June, 2013 In all seriousness, would be handy if the club could announce pre-season fixture plans for those of us potentially interested in such trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Saints Posted 11 June, 2013 Share Posted 11 June, 2013 I've been waiting for this thread for a few weeks and must say it doesn't compete with the 2011 or 2013 editions. More effort needed for next June please Alps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just wants people to agree with him, not engage in discussion. I gave my reasons why I couldn't give his view any merit, he ignored it. Another sign of immaturity.

stmusicdude Posted 11 June, 2013 Share Posted 11 June, 2013 Nope, I am judging by a spectacular lack of results on any front. Lets assume the kit design is finalised and is being held up by sponsor issues - why has this been allowed to fester for so long ? And what was the excuse last year for the late kit release when aap3 was known somewhat in advance of the kit release ? OMG - massive assumption that it's "held up" then going off on why it's festered BUT what if its because anticipation builds the "talk" about it helping build the hype & potential sales/interest but whatever the reason – why are you or anyone overly bothered about it yet? etc .. grow a pair of balls & deal with yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFC kit sales are to a fairly captive audience. The club claims the red kit is one of the highest selling ever, but what numbers are we talking about ? 10 ? 100? 1000?. I fail to see how leaving a kit release to the last minute somehow sells more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Grandad Posted 11 June, 2013 Share Posted 11 June, 2013 There is an apparent lack of activity but whether this is because we are not hearing about it or because there is indeed nothing going on is open to conjecture which indicates to me a missed opportunity. There seems to be a distinct lack of brand promotion, PR, building market share, all that sort of thing. Who's in charge of PR these days? Do we have a press officer?

Colinjb Posted 11 June, 2013 Share Posted 11 June, 2013 AKA Somebody Else's Fault. Ok. Hi, A.N. Other Football Club? We'll be rocking up on the ##th July for a friendly. What do you mean you have plans? F**king shift them! You do not live in the real world. Other clubs do not exist simply to do what we say. Football is a community, not a dictatorship.

Do we want to be a household name in English football, with respectful media coverage, or do want to be the PL equivalent of Millwall, punching above our weight in a less than sympathetic public forum ?

It is not indicative of anything, if there is no news what do want to hear? What ifs and maybes? Transfer negotiations are a sensitive area and no club provides hour by hour or day by day summaries, which you appear to be demanding, how that limits Saints potential is beyond me. You are entitled to your perception of how the club is run, it would appear that all others who have responded do not agree, if this were a trip advisor review yours would be the one everyone would ignore. Frankly your incessant negativity and pessimism is boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have expected at least one decent signing by now if that were a realistic scneario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colinjb Posted 11 June, 2013 Share Posted 11 June, 2013 (edited) I think you just proved my point, actually. That sort of dicussion would/could occur because we do everything too late. Ok, keeping calm face on. Fixture organisation is not a simple process, it involves two clubs coming together and mutually agreeing a time. Our pre-season fixtures in the past have been published en mass before the start of a season, this would indicate a large amount of pre-planning to ensure that any tour, or other pre-season plan (bringing in 3+ teams for the Markus Leibherr cup for instance) has occured beforehand. It is not a simple quastion of saying, 'Oi, you turn up here,' it needs to be done carefully, professionally and methodically, often taking in the needs and requirements of many other parties. Consulting chaiman, managers and coaches. Ensuring that other teams' plans can fit with our own desires. Because YOU cannot see this process happening you assume that it is in fact rushed, unplanned and poorly run. This, again, like everything else related to your baseless points is based on your insecurities on not being able to see everything. It is not based on any type of fact or consideration. You are quite simply wrong. Edited 11 June, 2013 by Colinjb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted 11 June, 2013 Share Posted 11 June, 2013 I've been waiting for this thread for a few weeks and must say it doesn't compete with the 2011 or 2013 editions. More effort needed for next June please Alps. I have actually had conversations in real life with other people about when this thread would appear. Not sure now if I am sadder than him.... I was going to say how bizarre it is Alps keeps doing this, and posting the same rubbish over and over but it can only be some mental depressive hypochondriac pessimistic condition. Still, it is his opinion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersonic Posted 11 June, 2013 Share Posted 11 June, 2013 The OP is the funniest thread I've seen on here for a while. I'm sure the club/Adidas etc are fully aware of what's going on. And the management team in terms of transfers are consistently working. As for the 8 players released, I'm sure they were told in advance, or got hints. This is a typical example of modern day impatience. Relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Bateman Posted 11 June, 2013 Share Posted 11 June, 2013 So you dont want to know about the kit, the transfers, etc ? Well, you are entitled to your opinion, but some of us do. No, you utter, utter helmet. Signings are interesting, yes, but we'll hear of them when they sign. Kit, not interesting, unless you're 11. Get on with some work and wait for the start of the season.

Matthew Le God Posted 11 June, 2013 Share Posted 11 June, 2013 (edited) Like who ? Journalists clutching at straws. So you say there is no evidence of Saints doing anything on the transfer front. Then when someone mentions we've been linked to numerous players you claim it is "journalists clutching at straws". Do you have any evidence to back up such a claim? You are just twisting everything to suit your negative agenda! Cheer up Alpine ffs! 4 years ago we were on -10 points and 68th in the English football pyramid. The owners/Cortese clearly know what they are doing. Edited 11 June, 2013 by Matthew Le God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
