Can you hear Southampton Sing

Singing the song of angry men

It is the music of the fans who will not be slaves again

When the beating of our hearts echoes the beating of the drum

There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes

OK I'll bite. Where did this latest rumour come from? And what happens now? Will we get by (we always did before)?

 

 

Thank God you have, I didnt like to ask !!

Besides surely HE would be more likely to sample a taste for the Orient wouldnt he ?

He's a Leyton Orient fan according to Wikipedia. Make your own jokes...

 

Also, having seen his football-and-Belfast-troubles based musical The Beautiful Game in the West End during its extremely brief run in 2000/1, I'd have guessed he wasn't a football fan either. :o

It's not over until it's over. Thank God it's not over and they are still negotiating.

 

I have received no information from the contacts of both the front runners since early this morning but the fact talks are still going on is encouraging.

 

I can wait.

I can wait too but at some point there has to be an end.

With either good news or bust.

Question - what is the deadline date?

There was some talk last year (or was it the year before) about Everton chairman Bill Kenwright who is, of course, good buddies with AL-W.

 

That's the only very tenuous link I can think of.

 

But wasn't it Tommac who had connections with an ex-Everton board member...? the Irish chap who has a cinema empire....? I think Lloyd-Webber's name cropped up around the same time....?

That has never been made clear. I assume when they need to pay the players. I would suggest next Thursday may be the latest as that is likely to be when the wages need to be paid.

So the players could effectively kill the club by not forgoing their wages for a month?

8 hours is nothing. I was once involved in a mediation that took 16 hours a day for 5 weeks, Saturdays and Sundays until we reached a resolution that all parties were happy with. This is taking the same kind of length of time. The deal has to be absolutely spot on.

 

 

What was the outcome ???? ...... did you switch over to ITV .... or stick with BBC 1 ..... ??????

Vote for Saintalan now. Come on Simon Cowell , You know it makes sense

 

 

What will happen to this forum when we have no club to support next season.

Will the Echo go bust as they will no longer have so much inside information

about saints to print on their sports pages

 

Will the Mods rename this forum the eastliegh web forum.

 

Yours very Depressed

Not quite sure how we got on to Les Mis but here goes:-

I dreamed a dream that a press conference had been called but it turned out to be just one day more and at the end of the day I was on my own with empty chairs and empty tables.

Er, sorry to be a bit of a luvvy, but Lloyd Webber is nothing to do with Les Mis!!!

Thats why I said that I couldn`t understand how we had got round to it, but as it is my favourite musical, and someone had posted the "Do You Hear Southampton Sing/" song, I thought that I would join in.

There were 2 threads running with regard to songs and I inadvertently posted on the wrong one
