kpturner Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 Thanks for the heads up! By the way, do you think the Skates will notice the difference between Saints scarves and Sheff Utd scarves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucks Saint Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 I'd be careful, loads of Blades really hate us scummahs. Not sure about that. Best mate is a Blade, been there with him many many times and never had an issue in shouts / discussions / pre and post match beers etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 I used to go to Sheff Utd all the time when I was at uni there, and always used to chat to the locals. If you get the wrong bunch then they hate everyone but nothing specifically Southampton related ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Who? Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 Been doing ok the last few weeks, and are by far the better team so far this evening. Take 10 points off them and they will not look so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 Been doing ok the last few weeks, and are by far the better team so far this evening. Take 10 points off them and they will not look so good! Of course they're doing ok. They got a team full of players that most other teams in the division cannot afford; most players they've recruited have been from higher leagues, some turned down offers from clubs in the division above to join Pompey and the wages they're paying (as backed up by various L1 managers and players, despite all protestations and lies from UnAppy that he's got one of the cheapest squads in the division). The squad they've got down there should be doing a hell of a lot better than languishing in mid-table, they really should be up around the playoffs at the very least.

Looks like they have gelled now though, the team were not even together when the season was a few weeks in. On this evidence I think they will go up, playoffs at least. Take 10 points off and it will be tough. I thought they were bankrupt, how do they afford these players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedelldays Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 if they get into the playoffs with a -10....that will put our 1st season in league 1 into perspective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 if they get into the playoffs with a -10....that will put our 1st season in league 1 into perspective Very similar. We only just missed out on minus 10, after a terrible start with a new team. So it will be pretty much the same I think. Very strange how roles have reversed completely!

On this evidence I think they will go up, playoffs at least. Take 10 points off and it will be tough. I thought they were bankrupt, how do they afford these players? They have parachute payments coming in; £3M arrived in September, more to come in the New Year. So the administrators can use those funds and incoming monies from ticket sales etc for running the club without concerning themselves about a long term budget, and the £8M player deferral pot that has to be paid eventually. The PST's first takeover bid contained a business plan for runnning the club over 4 years, with a sensibly low wage budget. And that business plan will surely have to be significantly revised, as it did not cover for £6M of the £8M player deferral payments. The best thing Pompey can do (in terms of their league position this year) is stay in admin for as long as possible. Once the PST takes over; that's when some really difficult decisions have to be made, and perhaps a whole new squad has to be put together (I can't see the likes of Akos Buszacky agreeing to terms akin to lower league 1 club level).

The fact that it ultimately benefits both parties has nothing to do with it whatsoever. Honest Guv... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 29 October, 2012 Share Posted 29 October, 2012 Before or after their deduction? They had earned 18 points prior to today after 14 games. We had earned 21 points; but our -10 had come off at the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
