    Stan Collymore -Thorn

    First off it is all just opinions - each to their own. So what if some rate him and some dont, neither opinion will affect the fact he is manager and likely to remain so whether we stay up or go down. Has done much better of late and should be congratulated for such - doesnt explain whole season...

    if we survive should we keep thorn???

    If it was all about money and the "better" players that brings then Blackpool would never have been promoted to the premiership, we would never have won the FA Cup...... etc etc. There is more to it than who on paper has the more valuable squad and because it is more valuable the better squad...

    if we survive should we keep thorn???

    I dont think he is a great manager as it stands but his performance in the job is much better than it used to be. I dont think if we stay up or go down he will be changed, unless there are very significant funds made available to the manager by new owners (do i see that happening .... no) He...

    Do we cheat???

    And of course the likes of Hull have never done that kind of thing :facepalm: First half or more of the season we were nice Coventry playing safe largely ineffective football and were viewed as soft touches by other teams and their supporters who often adopted these so called "cheating"...

    Southampton convert Loans to shares

    to my mind it is a choice between what drives the ownership of the club is it getting the return out of the investment at the earliest time for the benefit of the investors - in which case you leave it as a loan or is it an empathy for the club and safe guarding its future with the hope of...

    Southampton convert Loans to shares

    OK I will take it as asking questions .... Leibherr's estate has decided they will convert the loan to shares. Mr Leibherr died owning the shares of Southampton which are now controlled by the trustees of his estate. Mr Liebherr's estate (or was it Liebherr himself) it seems lent the money to...

    Southampton convert Loans to shares

    Rob is quite right the prospects for return are different but the mechanics and reasons why are exactly the same. Read the first line of the article DH. Then just one question ...... what piece of paper do you (or your estate) need to have, to own a company you have lent £33m to ...

    Southampton convert Loans to shares

    the people who loaned the money own the shares in CCFC already. SISU dont own anything at CCFC nor are they creditors they are agents for their investors who are the creditors and owners of CCFC. I am more worried by people having £30m of loans they can ask to be repaid than owning £30m of...

    Southampton convert Loans to shares

    Interesting report on the BBC. Southamptons owners have converted £33m loans into shares - thereby removing the possibility of the club having to repay the loans, reducing the risk, changing the balance sheet of the company for the better. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17547804...

    Juke - not going down too well....

    he has his limitations, should score more, got a lot to learn etc, but in two goal shy teams in total he has scored 12 goals so far in 41 appearances. Not the worst record I have seen for a striker.

    Does platt deserve a new contract?

    He has 1. Top number of assists goes to Cyrus Christie with 4 then McSheffery & Hussey on 3 http://www.ccfc.co.uk/page/Assists/0,,10269~201110269,00.html

    Does platt deserve a new contract?

    Has had a decent season - always puts everything in that he has to give. Yes another year but as a squad player not the focus of our attacking game - we need a goal scorer and that is not what Platt is. Having heard him interviewed I can imagine he is a positive force in the dressing room and...

    Currently one of the top form teams in the league.

    Not sure the results on the last five games have far exceeded my expectation. The only result in those games that exceeded my expectation was away at Cardiff.... in the end I think AT was a little disappointed not to have won that one. At the time I thought we might pick up points and now with...

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    only feel sorry for them in respect of the shysters that have run the club way beyond its means. Fans generally blindly trust those in charge to do the right thing by the club. Fans pay their money and very few understand the finances or the implications of poor financial control, so to a degree...

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    I would suggest that they call Health & Safety in as soon as possible because there is obviously something in the water or air that sends management at the Pompey delusional :facepalm:. Feel sorry for the Pompey fans

    Currently one of the top form teams in the league.

    There is a bit more optimism certainly. Gives us some hope definitely. We dont stay up or go down on the basis of 5 games recent form though. All the last 5 games tell us is that we can compete at this level and we are able to win points - we are in the current position because of the whole...

    how many points will we need

    1 more point than Pompey, Donny and Bristol .... actual total is irrelevant from here on in we need to at least match the best result from each of the above each week. That might mean winning at Bristol is not essential (but preferable)

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    I dont think we were any better than pompey overall but we looked more likely to score - had more belief on the day. The best thing about Pompey on the day was the noise their supporters made throughout. Wouldnt expect any credit from Appleton - just had his face slapped by a team he doesnt...

    This time last year.......

    I think Juke will improve with a bit more experience. Needs to be holding the center of the pitch up front rather than trying to be here there and every where. However thats someone elses problem not ours. Not sure many of our players suited our style of play start of this season, dont think...
