Coventry City are slipping into a deep financial hole and allegedly they have told some players they might be sold. Martin Cranie anyone, CHDAJFU?

£750,000 up front, then instalments up to £3m when we get to the Premier League? Whatever te true figure, it could turn out to be a very astute purchase, a better deal, I think, than BHA's for Craig Mackrel-Smith!

Well, Professor, you obviously haven't studied the scientific method or considered the philosophy of the likes of Bertrand Russell. If you had you would have considered the evidence more closely before making yourself look an a*se. At the moment, there is no concrete evidence either way and it's a month before the new season starts. So, as there is no proof, you should remain agnostic until events show otherwise. NA and NC do not appear to be people lacking ambition BTW.

One that got away, really. What might have been...

What was the original post, "Come on here for a willy waving contest" ??? Oh no, it wasn't. Do you think Jack Cork will sign? I think there is a good chance, myself.

It wasn't me that posted that, it was Jeffrey. (He's the violent one...)

No that's you, that is... Dissociative identity disorder sufferer!

Or he's still on holiday...

May be so, but so many posters deserve abuse for mangling the English language - it's toeing the line, not towing! As someone once said to me "Are you an ignoramus?" "No, I'm from Wiltshire." BTW, I think OXO's off and I think (hope) we might get a good player back in exchange. We'll see soon enough.

He didn't want to move too far from sunny Sheffield, it seems. I wonder how much Doncaster will miss that £3.25m...

I suspect a deal or two has been struck already and will be announced when existing contracts run out. I hope tomorrow's press conference counters the points raised by the OP and I think it will.

Stop being sensible, that won't go down well with a lot of folk on here. BTW that's the way I'm looking at the season ahead, too.

I can't argue against this - my first thought was that Maynard would add the most to our squad.

Yes, there are two different threads here - firstly, of course I want the club to be as successful as possible - and secondly, I can't afford to pay fifty quid or more a game, so I'll have to make do with 5 Live and MotD.

QPR have just announced the matchday ticket prices - from £47 to £72 each! Too rich for me, I really hope Saints never have to charge like this. I know Loftus Road is smaller than SMS and they need the income, but how many fans will say "enough is enough" and just stop going? At least in the Championship ticket prices will be affordable for just about all fans.

The only place I'd have preferred to see him pop up as manager is P*mpey. Somehow, I think they would have suited each other.

Did Anthony Pulis ever really exist? I think he was a tax dodge invented by the bean counters and his write-down value is now zero, so he just disappears!

There is an awful lot of vapour floating around here. I'll start believing when the solid stuff hits the fan. (Cynical, moi..?)

This... and he comes across as being an all round good bloke. He was in the building and on the bus early on, it seems.

He may have made one or two iffy decisions in his time, but don't let anyone say that his heart's not in the right place. He will always be a Saints legend.

If you just count the games since NA took over, we are the best team by a good margin. Well done Nigel, you've been fantastic this season. Now a few astute purchases over the summer and I am sure you will do us proud next term as well.

...and now Chambo's scored.

It's Guly that's off!

NA is certainly the best manager we've had since WGS and maybe than even further back. What odds we'll finish above Hull next season?
