Jimmy_D Posted 7 July, 2009 Share Posted 7 July, 2009 Haha, a massively wealthy club that starts in league 1 on -10? Saints could end up being one of the most popular teams to play as on the next Football Manager... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan The Flames Posted 7 July, 2009 Share Posted 7 July, 2009 Can we ask the guys at Hagiography Press (Duncan, Dave J, Dave B, Gary etc..) to send the guy a selection of their books so he'll realise just what a great back story this club has? Then he might realise what a responsibility he's taken on... Hop Schweiz! Good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evo Posted 7 July, 2009 Share Posted 7 July, 2009 Even if the contract is signed, the chap can still walk away. It's just a matter of how much it hits him in the pocket...

SaintSparky Posted 7 July, 2009 Share Posted 7 July, 2009 This is hopeful news, however until it is formally announced that the deal has been completed and that we are no longer in administration then there will be no sigh of relief from me.
