SW5 SAINT

They have a turnover of about £70M each season, that wont even make a dent in that debt. Thats without buying anybody!

Fair point, Saints have been done many times by other clubs, most notably in the transfer market, due to their honesty.

Thanks for that

Absolutely spot on, if ever there was a case of crime pays this is it. Wham are still in the prem picking up 60mil plus each season.The whole scenario would not have happened if the PL(scudamore)had policed the league and punished blatant cheating with straight relegation. Wham gambled on lying about Tevez's status and have picked 60 mil each season since fraudulently!!

It is of no consequence to Sir Rupert whether we take the hit in the CCC or League 1!!

Why would Rupert put the club into administration and loose his investment?

Ian Wright

Why does any one think that Lowe who hasnt put a penny into the club, would suddenly do so to buy the club out of admin, even if he had the money? He is only here to try and salvage his investment!

You certainly wonder what is wrong with the man in our case!!

Optimistic I am afraid to think it will go to the wire

Mandaric took Pompey from being perenial div 1/Champinonship relegation fodder to being an established Prem side, I cant remember anyone else in recent years achieving that!

Best Saints Saturday afternoon for ages -when was the last time we scored 4 goals?

This is now how you measure achievement!!!!

This just shows the disadvantage of not having a manager with a decent network of contacts - Poorto unlike Rogers will be unable to attract the decent fringe players of prem clubs!

Nonsense, the Titanic was a Southampton disaster( large proportion of the crew were Sotonians), the only connection with New York was the ship was headed there, and maybe a few of the passengers came from there, like hundreds of other places in the world.

I wonder if Whittards took a ten point hit!

Rupert & co are looking for an unrealistic price for ther shares

In other words it hasn't been ruined by the something similar to the Premier League being set up!

Surely any administrators if unable to sell( Tevezgate) WHam as a whole, would be bound to be looking at any assets ( i.e. players, ground) to flog separately to raise cash. WHam might be worth more piecemeal. So that would have to have an impact on the integrity of the PL

I think we are unattractive to potential buyers because the major shareholders are demanding an unrealistic price for their shares.

It just makes you think, Saggy working miracles at spurs, Delap, Fuller and Higgy doing likewise at Stoke , Wallcott now regarded as a world beater at Arsenal, this was the nucleus of Saints in 05/06!

Selling Fitz Hall to Palace (good business) just as the season (relegation) started, and then when realising the lack of defensive cover panic buying that Swedish guy( forget his name) at the deadline for nearly the same money!

Did we have a sell on clause? 15% of 5 mill would come in handy!!

Totally agree, from the moment I heard the news that Wigley had been apointed "head coach" until the end of the season, I thought we are f....d. With No trial period to see if he was actually up to the job.

We have all seen the lists of councils and public bodies who have lost millions in Icelandic banks, but what of football clubs. Some of them besides WHAM must have had exposure and lost millions - maybe Pompey!!
