dont panic ... yet

[Brockley_Jack]

Panic?!?! Behave Yakky, poor fishing mate.

Considering she has put a good few million in to wages to give the company some structure and appointed commercially successful people, his the hell have you reached the conclusion of panic?

Let me guess, you read the red tops and believe them? You believe the likes of chism? Chill out pal, crap marketers and poor journalism are not the harbinger or doom!

As TurktownAnt once said: "frrrrrkin skumrrrr [HIC] kaaants wrrrrraaaagh [spew] gaaaaaahhhhh. Frrrrkin ate um".

I spent Thursday night watching the Eagles in Concert, and renewed my season ticket yesterday morning.
I will support Saints regardless, it's the crest on the front not the on the back. We will survive and grow as a club, we may take a step back now for future progress.
Watch this space, let the Skates fill their socks while the media goes into meltdown frenzy. Liverpool are flexing their new found Champion League muscles,they need a percentage of home grown players, they are doing a Chelsea and City by trying to buy them.

How were The Eagles? I'm going to see them at the O2 on June 16 although before then I've got tickets for Arcade Fire and John Mayer.

It's disappointing of course, but if we only lose Ricky, Adam and Luke, it might not be the end of the world. We have some great talent coming through by all accounts, who might follow in the footsteps of others who have come from the academy and played first team football for us. The reality is that they too will also follow in the footsteps on to bigger teams with more money, and if we don't start achieving top tier football, clubs with more opportunities.

It is after all a profession for these players, who have a limited shelf-life and face the prospect of running pubs when they hit 35, as there are only so many pundit jobs with Sky Sports available (and those that can't string a sentence together wont get a look in).

I can't begrudge Rickie at all - he's done Saints proud, and is now fulfilling his dream. Interesting times ahead for Saints, but we are in a very good position with the facilities, the academy with a proven record in turning out great players, and the fan base whi

No need to panic - just yet.
So long as all future sales are decided by the new manager, that is.

When does the plane leave for Miami?

Get Luke and Adam away from the UK, allow the new manager to make himself comfortable in the extremely hot seat, then send them a message telling them how much he is looking forward to working with them, next season.
At the same time, send messages to all other clubs that any deals, that may have been discussed with agents, are to be filed under B for bin.

The entire German Bundesliga?

The "50+1 rule" means that no one individual can own a club. The clubs are controlled by their members - the fans. I think that Bayern, Dortmund, Schalke etc all prove that fan ownership works.

As do most other clubs in the top two divisions where the fan is "king" - reasonable ticket prices, safe terracing, alcohol and tobacco welcome, most matches sold out and every game screened live.

That works due to the rules being the same across the board, it would take a major change of rules to work with any success here. Currently League 1 is the best that fan owned clubs can aspire to at the moment.

You find it so difficult when you fu ck up don't you mongmead, Still obssessed with SM i see, you really need to get a life outside our forum, you green eyed sausage jockey.





How is Dan btw. ?

[ShottermillSaint]

Well Its shocking but not unexpected.
After such a Great season your players were going to be in demand but losing your talisman is an end to an AA?ra.
Maybe Its also the end of the money.
She wants out possibly and getting as much for it as she can. Cant blame her neither. Shes not her father.
Im sure there will be another taker but imagine if you lot owned it?stop losing all that talent etal.
Youll just have to wait for that.
Until then youll have this again and again.

Evening sir
Hope all is well with you

Panic? no
Concerned? very
The last 2 weeks have been a pr disaster for Saints, the chairman has made himself look either utterly clueless or even worse a bare faced liar. A well connected Saints supporting journalist revealed that Liverpool gave us a take it or leave it offer for RL and we just caved in.
The press, agents and other clubs are giving us the runaround and our board seem like rabbits in the headlights.
Still wha
