Kingsland Red Posted 2 April, 2014 Share Posted 2 April, 2014 We went into administration owing £27m. Although currently a similar amount in debt; we are a division higher, own the stadium and our assets (players) value is vast compared with the squad 5 years ago. To get to this point in balancing the books,the Liebherrs have put in considerable investment. Hopefully at some point the club will become more sustainable.

Unbelievable Jeff Posted 2 April, 2014 Share Posted 2 April, 2014 Yes bloody typical of lenders wanting money back..... how dare they Wasn't it the fact they cut the overdraft, and then wouldn't work with Lowe on a new plan to re-finance? I remember them saying thatthey wanted money raised through player sales, outside of the transfer window. All at the same time that they try to put forward that they work for the fans of football through their sponsorship of the Prem. They're an embarassment, but then that follows considering the type of organisation they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I share the nagging worry... TBF, we dont know yet how the new board will approach these things. Seemed odd though that there was such a 'Negative headline' re the 27 mil.... perfectly normal paying of transfer fees over a number of years - which if as suspected was a dig at NC, seemed a bit of a misfire since most football fans will know about the the transfer fee timescale etc... so to me came across as very naive on the Hofs part... Not sure why some are so determined to dislike and undermine anything NC brought to the club. The need to be personally loved by SFC at all times seems rather odd to me... can only assume some must have taken offence at his very public distain for the rather 70s tasteless desire to have fitted carpet in the bathroom. Chairman, boardmembers etc are not here to be liked. They will all make mistakes and have strengths and weaknesses as no one is perfect - ultimately, as the cliche goes, they are judged by results on the pitch... and our progress and potential is pretty clear for all to see. Much has been made of the 'cock ups re commercial side of things' - yet those making those statements do so with such a bare faced cheek conveniently forgetting their criticism of the likes of Lowe for being so 'focussed on it, rather than what was happening on the pitch' .... you really could not make it up. NC focussed on the players - and their environment. As a result he has allegedly ****ed off staff and fans with his aproach. Well I seriously dont give a feck. If you dont like your job because of a nasty demanding boss, get a new one. Ultimately - 2 promotions, 8th in prem, stylish attacking football, players happy, infrastructure development a legacy for our future, club worth at least DOUBLE what owners have invested to date.... thats a fricken good record in anyones book... I can live with ****ing off some commecial partners (if that is factually accurate) and ex players and charging for the parking if it gives us that progress... some cant - so not sure we will ever get any consensus.

Gemmel Posted 2 April, 2014 Share Posted 2 April, 2014 Actually at risk of agreeing with Glasgow, Barclays relevance to the whole story, chain of events and subsequent rise from the ashes, shouldn't be underestimated. And the funniest thing about it all......... It was down to a single 600 pound cheque to one of the goalkeeping coaches. It's been a blast.... all raise your glasses to Keith :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said myself he's done a good job on many occasions, i even praised him and pulled someone up on the other thread about him yesterday when some had a go at him about something which in my view, he did well. Funny how you never commented on that post and i didnt have a personal vendetta then. The problem with the Cortese internet fan club is that if you dare to point out anything he didn't do well then you have a personal vendetta or agenda.

Adam Blackmore of Solent Sport said he had been briefed by the "previous regime" that Saints has paid for players outright and he was therefore shocked by outstanding transfer fees to be paid - maybe this was something that NC did across the board and was caught and challenged by KL? She wasn't happy with the way NC was running the club and spending her families money it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said I will happily bet you money, I've tried to meet up with you but you won't do it...this is the difference between you and Barry/Pap, at least they have the balls to meet up with those that accuse them of things, instead of hiding behind their 'hilarious' persona.

Noodles34 Posted 3 April, 2014 Share Posted 3 April, 2014 This. why is that you come on here then? You constantly generalise the forum members as bellends or mongs, but you are a full timer on here, it doesnt make sense. All you ever do is support GS and Barry, which sort of sums up the group of you. I have to say that your little gang of three is proving to be a bit too much lately, the lot of you are so self contradictory it makes me wonder if you are all in fact real people. I certainly struggle to understand why you bother to support the team, you seem to have to so much bitterness when we are successful. If people want us to go for the top 4, you take the ****. If we fail to achieve the top 4, you take the ****. As a final note, it would be interesting to know when was the last time any of your little gang went to a Saints game?

Ironic that you question why I come on here when looking at your posts on this thread you've contributed nothing of note and slagged everyone off. Think not what a mongboard can do for you, but what you can do for a mongboard sunshine! Why you interested in when 'my gang' last went to a game? You going to try the I'm a better fan than you card?
