And just how many clubs in the prem are actually making any sort of positive return. Even the more fiscally prudent clubs are deep in the cacky financially. Clubs are speculative investments end of.

He's also said Southampton are an investment and he doesn't expect to make any money on it until we're in the prem. This suggests as per the OP that the plan is to sell as at a profit in the premier league.

Beating us 4-1 the last two outings can hardly be called unfinished business Let's thrash them 8-0 and call it a new chapter of dominance in South Coast football instead.

Newcastle would offer something derisory like 2.5 million and we'd tell them to **** off. Then Ashley/Pardew will spend the rest of the window trying to unsettle the player. Nostradamus has spoken.

Wasn't his misses blonde previously? Or am I thinking of another wag?

I have 1 tattoo I got 2 years ago... The tattoo artist misspelled it but thankfully it's in Latin so only the rare educated girl that gets to see me without my shirt off actually notices. Yeah, tattoos are a great idea

Cricket has numerous stops and starts as does rugby where in fact video technology is only used to check if a try is to be given I believe. Similarly football should have goal-line technology but anything else would just ruin the game with 22 players demanding that every decision be checked.

To be fair to Alps, while I hadn't quite given up all hope things were looking pretty grim. Udders couldn't lose and we had a heck of a lot of work to do. I was also looking to the playoffs.

I know his probably falls under the heading of "backhanded compliment" rather than "insult" but feel you should be sanctioned for breaking your own forum's rules oh glorious leader

Didn't have to look too far back in my own.... Scared to delve deeper now "Fully expect Brum to win the league, as they have a Europa place they're unlikely to lose any apart form their best 2 or 3 players and that money coupled with the parachutes I expect to be invested immediately to achieve promotion to the prem. If they don't go up this season however they won't be nearly as intimidating next year."

Because we currently have 5 defenders out injured?

Don't remember us being linked with him in the window? Haven't followed him recently is he worth an emergency loan? http://www.coventrycity-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/southampton_link_does_not_bother_cranie_700032/index.shtml?

Never thought I'd see the day that I was jealous of the seagulls We have our best season in living memory and miss the league title to them by 3 points. We have outr best start to a season ever and they manage to sit 1 point ahead of us at the top of the league. They have 19000 season ticket holders a brand new stadium and have made some incredible signings this window beyond all expectations and brought in quality players, (Vicente FFS,) whereas we seemingly missed on our big targets. Perhaps jealousy isn't the right word but they just seem to be one upping us by the smallest fraction each time diminishing our own acheivements and it's annoying the living hell out of me. I can't even read a newspaper article about our games without them mentioning how well Brighton are doing in the same sodding sentence. I can remember thinking the whole of last season that they'd fall away or their manager would get poached and people are saying the same this season with I imagine similar results. Please tell me I'm not alone in feeling this way because I need to moan to someone. (Oh and to the seagulls' fans reading this forum, you know who you are; I'd still rather top myself than be a Brighton fan )

In an amazing act of self sacrifice I use my last post to bring you... Nuns! If this works of which I have my doubts.

We're ****, relegation looms, not good enough etc etc. (Well, every time someone else says it we score )

I'm not used to this losing and drawing lark, sort it out Adders

You think only 2% of the extra fans at the stadium would buy something? I'd say that's conservative but I do agree with you for the most part, I should have phrased my post better. I meant that the club's management accountant doubtless takes the percentage of fans buying merchandise and snacks into consideration when setting matchday price in line with budgets anyway. The price should be set at the level that historically will generate the most income and because we're not a club like Man U or Arsenal that sells out any price that level is below maximum capacity.

Come on you bokke! Pumas vs England and Scotland vs Romania tomorrow should be fun to watch. Realistically though I can see the all-blacks walking this one at home even with their terrible tournament record. Australia an outside bet, if they win the Web Ellis trophy in New Zealand the kiwis will never live it down.

Adrians is of course right an extra 7000 people buying a drink each and some halftime snacks will cover the 10 pound difference and create a better atmosphere. The problem is of course that there's no guarantee that charging a lower price will mean the extra 7000 will show up in the championship. the club has to choose the optimum budget mix of price and capacity same as any business.

I'd hit it, I just need to find something heavy first.

Shameless bump as No-one has even viewed the article yet, (On the plus side I did just waste one of my 3 posts on this.)

That's much more than I thought we'd get but it looks like no sell on which would explain it.

Indeed, I know it gets a lot of stick but the training methods he brought in are being used in sevral sports now and wouldn't be surprised if more than a few football clubs have adopted similar training programs as well.

I'm not entirely sure how that is possible but it sounds really really awesome
