Pilchards Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 The guys working full time at our club are saying 'major changes are going to happen here.' They are too scared to say anything else as they will lose there jobs. So what do you think are the changes that are going to happen as I feel something big is brewing our way very soon and I can't wait. Backroom staff changes? Stadium news as they might of bought the gravel yard opposite?
The Kraken Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 I've heard a rumour that the catering staff have switched from Flora to I can't believe its not Butter. I don't believe it myself, but God help us if it is true.
SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 There's going to be a takeover of Pompey and merger of the two clubs. The new club will be known as Solent Saints FC and play its games at St Mary's. The Football League have agreed that the new club can take Pompey's place in the Championship. OR... They are going to redevelop the ground to increase its capacity to 50,000 and, following financial difficulties encountered by Plymouth Argyle, have agreed with the FA that St Marys can be used for the World Cup bid instead of Home Park. OR... They are preparing to announce the shock signing of a new German right-back from Bayern Munich. He goes by the name of Philipp Lahm. OR... They are preparing to announce more details of the development of the club's academy. It is going to be run as a joint operation with a number of other clubs across Europe including Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Porto. Younger players from those clubs will train with Southampton and if by the age of 19 they have not made the transition into the senior teams of those clubs, Southampton will have the option to sign them for free. OR... Markus Liebherr's business operations will all be moving to Southampton when he completes the purchase of the nearby industrial complexes. This will include a factory producing diggers and other machinery, a sales storge depot for his products and the relocation of all of his offices to Southampton, including his own persoanl office moving to within St Marys.
St Lej Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 OR..... Ulrich van Gobbel has been bought in to act as club liason officer between players and car showrooms to ensure that players are not getting ripped off by dealerships.
trousers Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 Is it the realisation of the monkey chicken zoo dream?

Saint in Paradise Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 Mr Cortese has decided to clear every decision with Dave Benson Phillips before implementation of same.
Dave Benson Phillips Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 Mr Cortese has decided to clear every decision with Dave Benson Phillips before implementation of same. I should think so to.
NickG Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 Mr Cortese has decided to clear every decision with Dave Benson Phillips before implementation of same. agree. Not sure what would happen to the club but this forum would be better!
Dave Benson Phillips Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 agree. Not sure what would happen to the club but this forum would be better! Maybe you could email Mr Cortese and suggest this? I have always supported the idea of a fan on the board, as long as it's me.
NickG Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 trouble is with a board, you would have to debate and find agreement - think that you may struggle with this, suggest you take unilateral control -then you don't need to find anyone to agree with you

My manifesto for success ( that's what I am going to call it, catchy eh? ) Women banned from football ( apart from staffing the concourses and serving the lads Balti Pies and Beer ) Children banned from football. Students banned from football. 125th Anniversary Stone Island Kit Season ticket installment plans re-introduced. Stands named after Southampton legends. Matt Le Tissier Stand, Channon Stand, Terry Paine Stand and StuRomseySaint Stand

Stadium news as they might of bought the gravel yard opposite? Cortese has bought the Two Gasometers and is going to fill them with all the Hot Air generated on this Forum We are to merge with Pompey and be renamed as Southmouth or Porthampton
Pilchards Posted 3 July, 2010 Author Posted 3 July, 2010 Without revealing details, do these guys know when these major change are due to happen? Within days? Weeks? Months? Cheers The word is soon. It's crazy how people in the club are scared to gossip which suggests that Cortese will sack them at the drop of a hat. I know for a fact it's exciting news.
Saint Billy Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 Could it be David Beckham to be the first DOF/player and that the Spice Girls will do the pre match entertainment at all home games..............................naked!
doggface Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 Who knows. What I do know is the club do monitor these boards very closely. Yes if **** gets leaked on here heads will roll.
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 Could it be David Beckham to be the first DOF/player and that the Spice Girls will do the pre match entertainment at all home games..............................naked! That should ensure that the concourses are full until after kick-off...
Thedelldays Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 probably going to make a picture within the seats of NC face.... that would be it for me...he would have to burn in hell for that...the heretic
dubai_phil Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 The word is soon. It's crazy how people in the club are scared to gossip which suggests that Cortese will sack them at the drop of a hat. I know for a fact it's exciting news. We've signed a current England player Emile Heskey as cover for RL? Our entry into the Swiss Premier League has been accepted and we're moving to Interlaken More likely we've signed some global partnership deal for the Academy to link up with let's guess? - a Brazilian Club
Eddie Lizzard Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 I belive there willl be an announcement on Friday.
dubai_phil Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 I belive there willl be an announcement on Friday. :vuvu: Hooray at last a cure for Boredom. The return of the It's all gonna happen on Friday threads!
saint_stevo Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 You must be taking the Michael about the merger with portsmouth, what with them Owen so much money etc
Lets B Avenue Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 I belive there willl be an announcement on Friday. At 11.15 pm presumably?
Joesaint Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 The word is soon. It's crazy how people in the club are scared to gossip which suggests that Cortese will sack them at the drop of a hat. I know for a fact it's exciting news. But it is the best way of running a club in my opinion, NC has respect.
skintsaint Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 You must be taking the Michael about the merger with portsmouth, what with them Owen so much money etc
Saint Billy Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 You must be taking the Michael about the merger with portsmouth, what with them Owen so much money etc Really!!!
La BoIS Saint Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 But it is the best way of running a club in my opinion, NC has respect. Respect and fear are two different things.
Saint in Paradise Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 Selling up and f*cking off ? That would NOT be seen as good news by the majority IMHO How come Dave BP says if he ( DBP ) was in charge it's his way or the highway BUT when Mr Cortese runs Saints like that DBP hates it ??? .
Wes Tender Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 That would NOT be seen as good news by the majority IMHO How come Dave BP says if he ( DBP ) was in charge it's his way or the highway BUT when Mr Cortese runs Saints like that DBP hates it ??? . Hypocrisy or envy
Bwanamakubwa Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 You can have respect through fear. It's not the best type but it can work. Cortese has a style. Most won't like it, if it works for saintsfc I don't care.
trousers Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 The word is soon. Details of the away kit were going to be announced "within 2 weeks" (aka 'soon') according to the OS article that was subsequently deleted, and that was over three weeks ago. If you were a guessing man, what would your interpretation of 'soon' be in terms of number of days? Guesstimate? One? Two? Yours probingly, Trousers
Dave Benson Phillips Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 That would NOT be seen as good news by the majority IMHO How come Dave BP says if he ( DBP ) was in charge it's his way or the highway BUT when Mr Cortese runs Saints like that DBP hates it ??? . Because I know best, obviously. :-)
Bwanamakubwa Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 At am I talking about... This became a cortese thread already..... On topic, if it's exciting and positive then I wait with an excitable child like anticipation!!
Glasgow_Saint Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 I can't stand those interfering people who bang on your door and tell you how you need to be "saved" or you'll "burn"? Bloody firemen.
Torrent Of Abuse Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 Reduction of the ticket booking fee to £2.50. Season ticket to be available on a "pay full price for each match as it comes" payment plan. Unveiling of the "Anthony Pulis" executive suite.
Thedelldays Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 probably something like "beer tokens" you buy them around the ground so it is quick and easy to get a beer in the ground...
VectisSaint Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 Could it be David Beckham to be the first DOF/player and that the Spice Girls will do the pre match entertainment at all home games..............................naked! Gross, no thanks, and I wouldn't fancy seeing the Spice Girls naked either I think it is more likely that Paul Allen is taking over the Club and that we will be signing Rudi Skacel.
SNSUN Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 We realise we've made a terrible mistake releasing Lee Molyneux and are re-signing him on a five year contract?
Dave Benson Phillips Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 (edited) probably something like "beer tokens" you buy them around the ground so it is quick and easy to get a beer in the ground... You might be onto something there. When memberships are announced, you need to purchase one if you are not a season ticket holder and 'top up' your card to purchase goods at bars etc, no cash bars and smart card ticket booking system You phone up or go online for each game and it is added to your card to allow you entry for that game through automated turnstiles. ( Puts paid to all the 'defaulters' arguments for installment plans if this is the case as you can simply block entry with the touch of a button ) David Luker had the full blueprint for this system and quote a couple of years ago, and was something he wanted to introduce as there was a very quick payback in postage alone and administration costs of tickets are next to nothing ( lol @ booking fee if this is the case ) Edited 3 July, 2010 by Dave Benson Phillips
OldNick Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 It is the announcement of the newly enlarged physios area as we are signing Owen
Glasgow_Saint Posted 3 July, 2010 Posted 3 July, 2010 The guys working full time at our club are saying 'major changes are going to happen here.' They are too scared to say anything else as they will lose there jobs. What are the part time stafff saying? Off topic: Anyone else get a really annoying long delay after typing on this new 'improved' forum? I type then 3 minutes later the words appear.....bloody annoying
