We have no money BUT......

[beatlesaint]

we can afford for a squad of 22 plus coaches and backroom staff to travel up to South London from Southampton Saturday night and stay in a hotel for 2 nights in preparation for tonights game !!!

 

Now Selhurst Park is what ? 90 mins from Southampton so what the hell are we wasting money like this for ?

 

Had they been playing away at Doncaster for instance then fair enough......but South London ffs ?

 

Someone has to be taking the p*ss at that club......

That thought had also crossed my mind.

Maybe it's instead of a Christmas party :smt102

[alpine_saint]

I reckon we've been consistently lied to about the financial situation. We seem to have been reasonably active on the transfer in side for a club that doesnt know where the next penny is coming from.

 

This is ALL to do with one person's ego.

[Delmary]

A pointless waste of money.

Well the queue to see Santa in Marlands was very long on Saturday so maybe it was !

[mprobert]

Right, 22+ coaches is excessive

Surely they could all have fit on just one?

I am pretty sure he said motel.

Crossroads :shock:

[rocknrollman no2]

Try Faulty Towers.

[Fowllyd]

The Bates Motel. Now who'd play Norman I wonder?

[Weston Super Saint]

I'm more worried about who has to play Master :shock:

Oh I can assure you our finances are almost beyond recall. I think Lowe may have one final throw of the dice. If he fails we are done for. If he manages to sort it we will not be financially secure but the financial future will look a little brighter.

Unless he 'sorts it' by getting £5m for McGoldrick I can't see him getting any thanks

He's talking about Lalana and Surman, I think.

 

All it does it stop the rot for 2minutes, until the combined result and subsequent attendance impact kicks in, of course.

I figured he was.

 

Which is why I don't think Lowe will get any thanks - well some will thank him whatever he does.

[Weston Saint]

I am still confident Surman and Lallana will still be here when the transfer window closes.

Did anyone else hear Martin Tyler say that rupert said to him that it`s not the

playing side that is the money problem but it was the stadium..

 

Who was chairman when that deal was negotiated.....

SSShhhhhhhhhh !

 

In the Lowe re-write of history book you arent supposed to mention things like that !

Crouch?

I don't think he actually said that Lowe told him that, did he?

Brave words Ron - I will have a fiver that at least one won't????

[Weston Saint]

Your on.

[benjii]

I think he did.

 

Ok - I thought he just said he'd "done some research" but I may not have been listening carefully!

 

I would be surprised if Lowe had said that, as it would kind of fly in the face of his entire raison d'etre at the moment and would point the finger of blame squarely at himself.

[Alain Perrin]

25 x £100 a night x 2 equals how much?

 

(then compare to what Stern John's on and you'll realise it is insignificant). Better to get a full day to relax and train away from kids, xmas shopping etc. in my opinion.

You're right. He said his research has seen him told that by people ... no specific mention of Lowe.

 

It makes sense that our mortgage payments are our biggest cost if the success of our wage stripping is to be believed though.

 

I can't see that this is much of a stick to use to be beat Lowe with to be honest ... as some have tried to make it!

Made bugger all difference though, did it?

Didn't we used to stay somewhere when WGS was in charge, Rod Stewart's or something. I don't often defend Lowe (in fact I hardly ever do) but in this case maybe, just maybe the cost was borne by someone else, or maybe the hotel was offered free by some benefactor. If I'm wrong then "Lowe Out".
