hughieslastminutegoal Posted 13 January, 2009 Posted 13 January, 2009 Is that better? So you've given up trying to maintain your anonymity on here now?
Frank's cousin Posted 13 January, 2009 Posted 13 January, 2009 No. the membership elects the Football Committee at the AGM. Then, the football committee appoints the Manager etc. Edit: and the Football Committee numbers the Club Captain as an ex-officio member. The Club Captain is appointed by suffrage of the membership of the club; candidates for the post must be player-members. That way the playing squad has a way to voice their concerns over the appointment of the Manager and there is a channel of communication between the player-members and the wider membership. So a players have a say as to who is their boss? - Sorry, unworkable. The players need to have respect for the authority of the manager/coaches etc.... and would fans want other 'fans' steering the ship along their ingrained political ideology? Fair enough clubs were formed that way, but they did not stay that way for a reason - the times changed - football is now big buiness and if you want to be part of that you have to run a club with that in mind, or go and support Havent and Waterlooville.

buctootim Posted 13 January, 2009 Posted 13 January, 2009 I dont rate Quashie -but the fact you can buy him for only £500,000 and Joey Barton for £2m shows how much values have fallen. Cant see us getting anything like £2.5m for Surman or Lallana.
Andy_Porter Posted 13 January, 2009 Posted 13 January, 2009 I dont rate Quashie -but the fact you can buy him for only £500,000 and Joey Barton for £2m shows how much values have fallen. Cant see us getting anything like £2.5m for Surman or Lallana. Quashie is **** and West Ham are in massive financial trouble. Newcastle rejected the 2m bid for Barton. As for values falling just look at Defoe, Diarra, Beattie, Etherington etc
Amesbury Saint Posted 13 January, 2009 Posted 13 January, 2009 ……….Southampton FC will be bought by a team of Middle Eastern Businessmen for 21 pence per share, next week. Source is a bloke who knows the guy brokering the deal, an ex-Spurs player, now “moneyman” . it would be funny if someone with a low post count came on here and posted a takeover rumour and it turned out to be true. the thing I never really understood is why, even at 20p a share, the share price has remained so high. given the debt, the poor results on the pitch, the global financial climate why have share values not dropped further?
hugh Posted 14 January, 2009 Posted 14 January, 2009 I am just hoping that ManCity don't complete the Kaka deal before the weekend, leaving us free to trump whatever offer they make ACMilan.... Is it just me, or does anyone else feel a small tinge of resentment that ManCity could contemplate spending that much money, when £91m would clear our total debt and leave plenty left over to spend on improving the team??!

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel a small tinge of resentment that ManCity could contemplate spending that much money, when £91m would clear our total debt and leave plenty left over to spend on improving the team??! Given that the rest of the economy is in such a mess I can't understand why anyone would spend so much on one player. It is just plain stupid. The thing that I regret is that transfers like this will perpetuate the myth that football clubs can continue to spend money they haven't got on player transfers and wages. With the decline in the spending power of Chelsea, I had hoped that clubs would start to see sense. Oh well.
NickG Posted 14 January, 2009 Posted 14 January, 2009 its not stupid if you have so much money you don't notice its gone!

Nothing to do with resentment more to do with stupidity. It will knock back clubs like ourselves even further unless we can find someone with similar dosh. That clearly isn't going to happen, we can't find anyone with a few million let alone £91million.

It sort of is starting to rebound a bit, instead of everyone going "wow that Man City Brand is really impressive and making Abu Dhabi respected around the world" they are getting the reaction - "what a bunch of f**wits let's get down there and rip them off as well".. Difficult game using football as a brand, we here in Dubai just find it wrong to spend money and not create something sustainable in the current climate

Mind you with Jose likely to be there no more than 2 full seasons (1 if Man C come running with 15mil a year, no doubt young GB would enjoy spending 3 years of his no doubt lucrative contract attending fashion shows and shopping as he wouldn't get many games when a new man came in after his performances for Spuds of late! hang on how do you sign up!??!!
David Strover Posted 14 January, 2009 Posted 14 January, 2009 I know nothing about this rumour and doubt it's veracity to be honest. I have to be totally truthful here but I do in fact know Steady Eddy and have known him since the age of around 14 or so - I'm 46 now - he is a full on over 30 year Saints fan and up until recently a season-ticket holder and not a Pimpey-Mole or a troll.

dubai_phil Posted 15 January, 2009 Posted 15 January, 2009 Somebody may need to check, but doesn't 1) Yeung own shares in Birmingham and 2) some sort of stories about him not paying or owing David Gold about 25mil? Wouldn't hold my breath over the weekend guys.. BTW Steve M was commentating on the Man U game my lad saw him.

This would happen if he had interests in taking a stake in another club. Apparently,according to the piece he has had contact from third parties representing other clubs. Could the delay in any movement in this matter be to do with Yeung having to offload shares in Brum....?..no, didn't think so. Memo to self,stop having a beer before dinner.

That is very true about the America's Cup, it is all falling into place! It is true that he has expressed interest in an NFL team. Oracle has the naming rights to the Warriors arena in Oakland. But as for Saints...not holding my breath.
