Ponty Posted 6 May, 2009 Share Posted 6 May, 2009 I'm going to say, "No". Try convincing the players that chucking the game, plus a few quid, is the best thing for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonsaint1604 Posted 6 May, 2009 Share Posted 6 May, 2009 It makes sense to be fair. Although if players are accepting wage cuts/deferring wages then surely they wouldn't be accepting win bonuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky Posted 6 May, 2009 Share Posted 6 May, 2009 No way - it's almost as if we are trying to find crumbs of comfort to ease the pain of what was a disasterous season. Taking the 'positives' from a game we lost - ok, but trying to hide the cracks by saying we threw the game - I think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottery st mary Posted 6 May, 2009 Share Posted 6 May, 2009 Apparently we were doing something very wrong in nearly all our games and therefore avoiding the win bonus system. Very suspicious... SFC could not throw a piiiisss up in the proverbial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notnowcato Posted 6 May, 2009 Share Posted 6 May, 2009 It's true... and the new owners are a consortium headed by Elvis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwaysaint Posted 6 May, 2009 Share Posted 6 May, 2009 What kind of nonsense is that? They asked Wotte to show that he could win the game if he wanted to? Bloody hell, if only someone had thought of asking him to do that before, he could have been showing us for ages, or have we been cleverly avoiding paying win bonuses all season? As for saying that Wotte knows who the new owners are and that they gave the instructions? You clearly haven't noticed this but we don't actually have any new owners yet, so he's been pretty silly if he's listened to some blokes who have turned up and given him instructions to lose the game. This is the dumbest thread so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saints foreva Posted 6 May, 2009 Share Posted 6 May, 2009 After seeing how p*ssed off Kelvin was when it went 2-1.. I doubt it. He kicked the ball straight towards the touchline and went mad at his defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weston Super Saint Posted 6 May, 2009 Share Posted 6 May, 2009 It's a cunning plan, we've been throwing games all season to save money and make sure we are financially secure Trouble is, the only calculator at SMS keeps on missing off a couple of zeros.

david in sweden Posted 6 May, 2009 Share Posted 6 May, 2009 To save money on win bonuses? http://www.rivals.net/news/pgarticle.aspx?artid=13602_5283804&id=74 Well I don't think it was deliberate, but when I saw the names for the bench it was pretty obvious that they were going to get some playing time in a last match of no real consequence. It was Gasmi's last chance - which came to nothing, and he's gone anyway. Ollie Lancashire had another short outing in the back four and though I haven't heard anyone blame him for goals no.2 and 3, it's no surprise to me as I really don't think he's up for it ..(yet). Gobern has already impressed and his short run-out was a sort of a reward. The overall effect of three late substituitions and conceding 2 goals was predictable, and deliberate or not...it saved us extra pay-outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitler survived and lived in South America ..... Elvis is alive and working in a burger bar ..... the Twin Towers were not collapsed by the planes ..... another conspiracy and not a very good one.
