derry Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 Today we reached rock bottom when the penalty was missed and the game was drawn. Sod the minus ten points we may or may not get, it's irrelevant, from today we can finally look forward to a rosy future. In my opinion in a short while we will have new owners, no debt, a stadium that if another match was never played there,will pay for itself. A football club that will have the best gates/income/costs in any division of the football league. New management, almost a completely new squad, a much lower wage bill, completely self sustaining and profitable. If the right management is brought in in May, the squad brought together before pre season, possibly some quality loans, then we can look forward to a cracking season. Don't ask me any questions I Don't know the answer. However for the first time in years I feel very happy tonight. I feel confident the takeover will happen sooner rather than later.
Blanco Saint Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 Can we all have a glass or pill of what ever your on? I think we need it.

They however are not the only runners in this "race" now thats funny! a fit and proper persons test by a group that arent fit to run a church fete!
CanadaSaint Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 One of the "bidders" is undertaking the "fit and proper persons" test early next week with the League/Football Association. I'm so glad that they have such a test. How on earth could anyone have worried that Rupert would have squeezed his sorry arse back into the club? The only thing that he's "fit and proper" for would require a large elephant and an even larger jar of vaseline.
derry Posted 25 April, 2009 Author Posted 25 April, 2009 What's tha capital of Peru? Been there liked the old house by the river, at the back of the government buildings opposite the cathedral. What's it's name.

Delmary Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 Did Mister Neil have his telescopic lens trained on the directors box today?
saint lard Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 now thats funny! a fit and proper persons test by a group that arent fit to run a church fete! Yes,they did a sterling job with that Thaksin frank sinatra bloke.
derry Posted 25 April, 2009 Author Posted 25 April, 2009 Judging by the idiots/crooks/shysters who have passed that test, I reckon even Pol Pot would pass with flying colours!!!!!!!!!!!! Been to the interrogation centre in the secondary school and the killing fields in Phnom Phen. Jesus that was a scary experience.
derry Posted 25 April, 2009 Author Posted 25 April, 2009 I thought I'd cheer everybody up it's been a really crappy year.
Barney Trubble Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 You should become a motivational speaker Derry;) I do sort of feel like a weight has been taken off my shoulders now. It's like we can finally start moving forward again - weird thing to say after today's result I know.
um pahars Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 Been to the interrogation centre in the secondary school and the killing fields in Phnom Phen. Jesus that was a scary experience. Been there too. Thought the endless boards of photographs all with the same expression was the most harrowing (plus the bloodstains from 20 years previous).
TopGun Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 Yes,they did a sterling job with that Thaksin frank sinatra bloke. Yes, one wonders about Abramovitch too but if they have cash it is swept under the carpet.
Mole Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 I thought I'd cheer everybody up it's been a really crappy year. Nah, getting rid of Lowe and the collapse of the PLC will one day be viewed as the best thing that could'vr happened to us.
Ex Ringwood Saint Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 mmmm just hope that the vasaline smeared mr lowe is not one of those front runners...like most people who hear the odd rumour, i heard from that he was interested but think he would have to have kahoonas of concrete to show his face again..or the ego of a mad man......so probably he will then.....
saint lard Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 Yes, one wonders about Abramovitch too but if they have cash it is swept under the carpet. And of course not forgetting Gadaymak,which one owns the club,Daddy or jnr
Teddy Nutkins Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 I thought I'd cheer everybody up it's been a really crappy year. Sorry Dave, nothing can cheer me up tonight.My club has been relegated, we have to win 3 games next year and get a draw before we even register a point.I wandered onto the pitch at the end of the game to get a feel of the atmosphere,not the same as the goose bumps i got from walking onto the Dell pitch,the club died today and nothing you can say to me is going to make it feel any better.Sorry mate.

Christ, talk about over-reacting. We're in the third tier of English football, get used to it. Just because we're Southampton it doesn't mean we automatically deserve to be in the top flight. Yes, we're all upset and distraught at what's happened over the last few years and especially today, but suggest the club has "died" is just silly. Like economies, football clubs go up and down, and we're in a bad patch at the moment. We'll be back one day - blimey you never know, we might even have fun in League One.

Optimistic. No Lowe and the return of Southampton FC from the ashes of the plc that's had its hands firmly around the neck of this Club for too long. We may now have bottomed out at last. But, we need to clear out the kids and the final Dutch marvel or we're heading for League 2.

But, we need to clear out the kids and the final Dutch marvel or we're heading for League 2. Clear out the kids? Who are you including in that? Surely not Lloyd James, Lancashire, McGoldrick, Gillett (is he still a youngster?), Jospeh Mills, McLaggon or Paterson? Some of these players could be brilliant in League One and haven't actually done too bad this season - just thrown in at the deep end too early.
derry Posted 25 April, 2009 Author Posted 25 April, 2009 Been there too. Thought the endless boards of photographs all with the same expression was the most harrowing (plus the bloodstains from 20 years previous). The iron beds, the brick cages and the torture equipment nearly made me sick and that tower of bones and piles of skulls at the killing fields was unnatural. For some reason I took photos of those walls.
dubai_phil Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 I take it that you didn't have someone tell you the WH Ireland conspiracy theory today then Derry:-) Let us hope the rumoured two horse race is between Arkle & Nijinsky and not Steptoe & Son's nag and one of those things the Dark Knights rode in Lord of the Rings But like you I now think we may have past the nadir and there could be life after footballing death

Some of these players could be brilliant in League One and haven't actually done too bad this season - just thrown in at the deep end too early. I want to see 2-3 kids ( mainly competing for a bench place) being eased into a team of men Saf. A new manager may help bring them back on again... but frankly they can go back to the reserves on the whole. Gillett, DMG (if he grows up) and Size are the only ones I would consider for a starting line up... if we have the money to buy new players. Apart from that our kids are League 2 standard.
dubai_phil Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 I met a gypsy today, she told me to look for a star in the east.

bridge too far Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 Isn't he involved with QPR ? yes you're right. I just happened to be looking at the Sunday Times Rich List and picked up on Derry's 'clue' about looking east. Maybe it's one / both of the Iranian brothers that have been mentioned before :smt102

Saints Pedro Posted 25 April, 2009 Posted 25 April, 2009 Today we reached rock bottom when the penalty was missed and the game was drawn.

I love your outlook but have we reached 'rock bottom' ? Won't the new owners have to settle the debt via the administrators and if we try to re enter the league without a CVA won't we be liable to a further points deduction? I hope I'm wrong and if so then yes next season could be a positive new beginning.

I think you might find we will be debt free, why would we need a CVA as the club is not in administration and the overdraft and the debts are the clubs and probably will be settled in full. SLH has assets but little debt which will be sorted by the buyout and the purchase of the stadium.
