No shyte Sherlock..!!!! Perhaps if it was an sms they will just return the call and nick 'em eh...!!!

Fair play to you mate, who knows perhaps you will be the fan that is able to write that 'I found.....' thread that I alluded to on my last post. I'm still not convinced that the MLS is the sort of league that we should be looking to if I'm honest - too much time and space for my liking, whenever I see it. That said - I did see David Beckham play and score for Milan the other day - so it doesn't appear to have done him too much harm, but he is a case apart. I think we are too lightweight already with our kids - personally, I believe we need experienced CCC players to get us out of this mess, not guys with limited experience from the MLS.

I think you'll find that a certain poster from here actually tried that with some cohorts not so very long ago, and found it not as simple as you suggest...!!

Calm yourself men...!!! TT has been trying to flog us half the MLS since god knows when - I'm still convinced that he is on commission somewhere. I admire his passion for the game and Saints in general, but please don't make comparisons on his efforts against the rest of the forum and then have a pop at us. There are hundreds - nay thousands - of internet message boards covering professional football clubs. Go and see if you can find a thread from a fan that says 'I found our next centre forward...' or words to that effect. Clubs generally have professional scouts working for them in a 'scouting system' - rarely does that mean that they listen to a fan about 1 individual player who has played well in 1 game. I enjoy the banter with TT - but even he will admit he has history of forever flying the Stars and Stripes. I would suggest that if Tim is serious about any of his nominations to play for Saints he passes the details to the club - not to us here on this message board.

Jesus is fine - but the docs are working on Le Tiss as I type.....

Relax - I think he meant to post 'Le Tissier has a shot - and scores...!!!' Ohhh for those days again.....

Of all the things that I have learned today reading the various threads - this is, without doubt, the most disturbing...!!!

Whats changed - we are probably in a worse position now than we were 24 hours ago. All of the personalities that are charged with saving the club have be here during this fiasco - it's not a new concept that we haven't tried and failed at before. Brave new dawn - naaaah the nightmare could just be beginning....

Odd maybe - but the fact remains that none of it probably helps us in our current plight at all...!

I wouldn't expect the man himself to make an appearance, (as interesting as it would make the meeting...!) but if this thing gathers pace - then it wouldn't surprise me if he has an 'ear in the room' somewhere.

Just a quick observation, but as this is being billed solely as a 'Shareholders Meeting', then Rupert Lowe would be also welcome to attend. Perhaps not 'welcome' then - but surely eligable?

Got the best out of average players - thats what good managers do though.

I don't mind him posting here - gives me something to wipe my feet on...

Perhaps the money men at other clubs were more than savvy to our financial plight and realised fairly early on that what they pay 2 million for whilst we are not officially in administration would probably be sold off for a fraction of the price when we are are. The vultures are gathering...

Fair play to the guy - would have been easy to discard your email to the rubbish bin and move on. He had the decentcy to respond explaining how his opinions were formed. Shall we still string him up from the Itchen Bridge...?

No it wasn't - the figures that he quoted were about right actually. But the implication that the state of the club was down to the stay away fans is debatable.

If we are saying that DMG is now doing more than most of the others on the pitch then we are in deep deep shyte. Yes he is the clubs top scorer - but that is his core role within the team - kick ball into goalframe. Much as Kelvins is to keep ball out of goalframe. So therefore I would actually expect him to be the clubs top scorer as Kelvin is clubs top 'saver'. Basically it's all about effort - many say that DMG appears not to put effort in most games - they can't all be wrong - and the main thrux of yesterdays meeting appears to have borne this out. More effort DMG, more sweat & more goals - hopefully.

Apparently so - he has now agreed to stroll through games as opposed to ambling. Who knows, when the severity of our situation actually does manage to filter down to player level, he may agree to break sweat and perhaps even jog a while...!!!

They guy wrote about 3 paragraphs ffs - much of it true to...! It's now chip paper, doubt whether anybody really took very much notice apart from our own fans who now want to start a rebellion. For those of you that might have missed it, much bigger news items happened on this day - lets move on eh?

Perhaps a little Irish I know, but if we are going to get relegated this season, I hope we are down long before the last game of the season. I couldn't bear it going to the last game and not making it - no way.

Errrr speak for yourself sir, some of us maybe getting on in years but I for one, am displaying no such incontinence problems thus far - thank you...!!!

'The boys know what to do', 'we have to work even harder I think its a fight' Right - we'll be fine now then... good meeting... can't wait for next match... Why didn't I think of that?

I have just been sitting in the Barbers shop reading the article and thought very much the same as you CS. I was also tempted to post his comments on here - you have saved me the job. Good response though - wonder if he will follow up or publish with any of the points you have made.

Whilst I agree with the majority of your post, the fact remains that Nigel was not sacked. His contract was not renewed, it should have been, but unfortunately we opted to go Dutch instead.
