whelk

yes the link states their media manager saying that but 'offer' includes a transfer fee to club and wages to Jack. Anyway you look at it we had more clout and were more attractive. Happy days

Quite amusing how Burnley couldn't match our offer for Jack. what with parachute payments and all http://nonaynever.net/4547/burnley-bid-1m-for-cork/ Did you join the right club Eddie? Glad you didn't come here but you wouldn't have even had to relocate and had a bigger budget. just saying

Too right - fckin embarrassing how bad the site is. Just renewed mine and isnt even any info to say no option to mail them - Comical the fckers running the club. Joke and so many mugs like 'Fan the Flames' here like to think they aren't moaners and accept this bs. Spineless twt! Poor from start to finish.

I only agree with post #9 not post #14

The point is do any other clubs have such a ludicrous window of 5 weeks. Can safely say Chelsea and Man City don't need the cash injection but assume they treat their fans with more respect. Don't go quoting Chelsea's exorbitant prices!

Just read the bumpf on the OS about tickets today - is there any other club in the league that limited itself to a 5 week window only and 2 weeks for renewals in the holiday season? Unbelievable and sure they have taken advice but cannot see one benefit of such limitations. Sure others realised before and has been posted about already but question is has any other club else followed this model?

Neil Danns on a free would have been good business. Shame Leicester got him

From their official site, a statement from the club: The Hearts Board of Directors has issued the following statement in relation to outside influences on players and the club. "What's happening with the club today is not a new thing. For almost 7 years we have been fighting to shield the club from crooks, criminals and thieves. Many of the top players at the club have felt the bitter results of the swindles that have been carried out with them on their own skin. Skacel and Webster have returned to the club after realising where these 'football patriots' have led them. "Over a short space of time 4 players at our club have been on the wrong end of the law. We note that 3 of them are represented by the same agent - Gary Mackay - who has been so vicious in his attacks against Mr Romanov. "Taking into account the facts that have been omitted by the media it can be presumed that each of these cases is not a coincidence, but the result of targeted actions of a mafia that wants to manipulate the club and the results. "Every year Hearts fights to be in the top 3, but even last season in the last 12 games of the season it was almost like someone replaced the team with a different one. Whose fault is that? Players? Manager's? Or it is mafia. "Stealing players, bad games, problems with the law - all of that on top of record SFA fines. Problems are just shifted to another level. "Mafia are dragging kids into the crime, in order to blackmail and profit on them. It is not possible to separate these people from pedophiles, and you don't need to do that. Each year we are forced to fight against these maniacs harder and harder. We are standing in their way not letting them manipulate the game of football in the way they want. As such they undermine us in every possible way they can. "The task of the club is to tear these kids out of hands of criminals." Ok still bored and nothiong to do with Saints although was a reference to Skacel but makes Cortese's references to undermining seem pretty mild paranoia in compariosn.

Me and you will get on fine Cat

Or just make it Guinness and Lattes at £2.97 each

make it all 500ml plastic bottles at £3 a pop at and then at least we wont have to leave 5 mins before first half to stand fighting chance of getting served in time to see second half resume. And make it Hofmeister comical beer snobs on here and sure they speak like Adam and Joe's pretentious voice when typing their ******. and if you don't know who A & J are then chances are you will have no wit. Love you bye x

8000 if we're lucky. Should be a tenner

if you end a post with 'lol' you give up any right to criticise. Pointless ****

I went to 7 away games last season and dint see any trouble. Lots of embarrassing chavs though. Does that count?

I thought it was quite stimulating compared to the predict the score of the first game without knowing the first fixtures. I think i am too exciting for this forum of bores;-)

Cant remember a division containing so may teams with a major hooligan element: West Ham Millwall Cardiff Bristol City Leeds Birmingham Portsmouth Leicester -just about make the list to make it a third of all teams in the div

apologies if missed a thread on this but anyone know if we are for or against? http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8652_6971725,00.html Never good to be in agreement with Ken Bates

wow this could run and run until all possible predictions are selected - 400 + post There's inane close season banter but this takes it to a new level!

3 horse If you want to bet teh 2 horse ie to lift the cup utd are 13/8

Love DC so brilliant news and he has earned it. Guess heavily weighted on appearance bonuses. Mind I have no idea what we are paying our players

Pls stop calling them Bompey - it is embarassing

Citeh are just as creative than Utd and fans. And poznan is hilarious for now when used by the club that played them. Beware of imitations - embarassing

I get the opposing view that you subscribe to but communications in business is about goodwill not absolute truth as yes I know they will be on sale at some point and tbh the cost is not an issue to me- I will buy one whatever. The point is we have a club communications officer and there is obviously little to report on at this time of year so they could easily put a line or so on the tickets like on OS saying the likelihood of when info will be announced so that those who are interested in such info are satisfied. Last year was worse as they had something along the lines of keep checking the website. Instead we get some idiot teasing about 'big news' like some 12 yo school kid saying they have a secret but cant tell you yet - pathetic. And after that it was non news - manager in post for 8 months has contract - wow there's a shock!

No i dont think - pathetic disregard for fams not to have anything on site even if announcement will be made end of May. Same last year and you mugs lap it up. Communication is dreadful at the club and that idiot Sibley with his teasing tweets. We are Saints we do as we're told and are grateful

who can tell that the close season approaches! anyone else notice the final credits on Gardener's World are now are now 1.3 seconds shorter and one of the and one if you look closely you cna make an anagram of Nigel Adkins - although this does require using 3 or so names;-)
