WIGANSAINT Posted 12 May, 2014 Share Posted 12 May, 2014 First of all I must be one of the few saints fans in the north and I have carried on when we was in doldrums and wigan was flying high and I was getting so much stick etc..But I stuck with faith and then along came Nick and the new owners and like the rest of us including the team I guess I began to believe the dream .That we would compete again and become the English version of barca or like the utd team of 92. So randy my question is this. When you said no one would be sold without mopos permission was you telling little white lies?I can tell you now if you break up this club then I am done with this club till we get new owners. Because I am sick of us selling the Crown Jewels .Show some ambition for once .Otherwise you will lose this club being in the prem I guarantee.

hypochondriac Posted 12 May, 2014 Share Posted 12 May, 2014 If you have to sell then for goodness sake get as much as you can and don't you dare sell before the world cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they sell before the W/C they're the wrong people for us IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 12 May, 2014 Share Posted 12 May, 2014 Because I am sick of us selling the Crown Jewels perhaps you can explain to them how they keep a player who fancies trebling their wages, play champions league football, challenge for titles etc.? The club doesn't want to let these guys go. But they are not slaves. If they want to move, the club has to negotiate the best possible deal and let them go. It's sad, as we all want to envision Saints holding on to every star and then adding one or two each season until eventually we are a top four side, but sadly that isn't ever going to happen.

jayrivers Posted 12 May, 2014 Share Posted 12 May, 2014 Rupert Lowe all over again f-in useless. Well it's not is it! Hopefully there is a key difference now, if we sell, the money will be put back into transfers, where as back in the day the money was wasted, or hoovered up. There is nothing you can do to keep hold of players. No matter what you do there will always be players who want to go. The further up the leagues you move the easier it becomes, but it's still not always possible! Even clubs in the top 4 can't hold onto their best players if someone else comes calling. It's what you do with the money that makes the differnce. i don't want players to leave, but it will happen sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minty Posted 12 May, 2014 Share Posted 12 May, 2014 I'm always intrigued by the fact that some people seem to think there is a divine right to expect owners to spend money on the club, with barely a thought for the long term sustainability of the club finances. We would all like us to be in a position to continue to spend, on fees and wages, to keep moving the club forward, but for me, that absolutely should not come at the risk of putting the club in financial trouble. None of us know the exact financial picture and, as is being discussed on various threads, the investment required to take us from 8th to 6th, is probably far more than to get from 14th to 8th as we did over the last season. No one wants us to lose good players, but sometimes the reality may be that it is inevitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we could be in a position to strengthen the team quite a lot. And then we also have the next round of players coming through as well. The more we progress the more chance in the future we have of keeping players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
