Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

"Job well done. Now, who I else can I help..."

Need them out NOW! They've had almost 3 hours and, so far, they've failed to secure a buyer for the club.

Would be great news to hear! Preferably to "Nothing to do with Lowe and Wilde plus we've got pots of ready cash Holdings Ltd"

Electric blankets. They're both suckers for electric blankets.

Does this mean you know more?

I feel sick.

Will probably be something designed to raise our hopes and then crush them, i.e. "Rupert steps down (more to follow)..." 2 hours later, after this site hits fever pitch, there will be a picture of Rupert getting off the team bus or walking down some stairs.

Damn! Gonna need to score at least twice, up at the City Ground, on the last day of the season, because he's bound to score against us!

Not great news, especially when you consider Forest are out there trying to strengthen. It'd be particularly galling to see Blackstock go there, when it would have been good to have seen him come back here, if we had the readies. The news from Wotte also completely spoils tomorrow, when I'd have been logging onto the internet every 5 minutes to see which global superstar(s) we'd been able to recruit!!!

Even if we go down?

True, but I'm just not sure that a company in administration is allowed to take on or re-hire out of contract staff. Anyone know for sure?

I've a feeling that he probably realises that our finances are so dire that, if we did go down, we'd probably have to go into administration and, if that happened, there wouldn't be any contract renewals (as I'm pretty sure his managerial deal only runs until the end of the season?).

A man called Westwood probably.

Er, not suggesting as good. Just think it was an 'interesting' comparison! Hth too.

It's MW who says there are "similarities". I suggest you read more carefully.

http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4214327.Saints__Wright_Phillips_should_learn_from_Liverpool_ace_Torres/ First we were told Lee Holmes could be the next Arjen Robben. Now there are "similarities" between BWP and Torres! Who else can we compare to a current world great?

It seems our immediate rivals are continuing to loan players to aid their survival as Alan Lee has gone to Norwich (from Palace) and Iain Turner has gone to Forest (from Everton). Surely there must be a few pennies left in the pot, especially with Bart & Fish out on loan, to get someone to help us out?

One of my happiest Saints moments actually happened this week (yes, really!): I was putting my (near) 3-year old son in his car seat when our P*mpey supporting postie walked by. He tapped me on the back and said to my son (who was wearing his Saints shirt at the time): "I bet you'd prefer one of these?", pointing to the P*mpey badge on his hat, to which my son smirked and shouted (the much rehearsed phrase in our house): "Stinky P*mpey!". Absolute magic and a priceless look of shock on the postie's face.

Certainly hope so. A striker to challenge Saga & Euell would be good. Billy Sharp is behind Beattie, Lupoli, Ward, Henderson and Webber at Sheff Utd and would do nicely IMO.

Let's sue him if we go down, for not paying due care and attention to his current job.

http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4201817.Wotte_chases_another_loan_player_for_Saints/ Any further rumours on who it might be or even what position they play?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southampton/7940578.stm Nothing in the main text or story, as this is about our survival target, but under his picture it says that Wotte is looking to get a loan player before the end of March. Interesting!

It would make sense to narrow the pitch, if we're going to continue to play with a diamond in midfield rather than wingers. It would also mean less space for opposing wingers to get behind our full-backs, especially as James was positionally suspect a bit earlier this season.

If true, it's interesting that it's 2 teams, with 2 of the more astute managers in the Prem, who want him.

According to the Beeb's gossip column, it came from the Star.
