I'm not trying to be sarcastic or pick a fight, but what does "is more comfortable with the masses" mean?

The best thing yesterday was the news that talks have started on taking the academy back to the Higgs. Whilst it would only be putting right their own mistake, I would give SISU some credit for seeing sense, if a deal is completed.

And that is because.....?

Only deadline day I remember I was involved in selling a business to Jack Walker (of Blackburn fame) and the guy I was dealing with was the guy who handled his football deals. So as we finished up, I asked "any deals for Blackburn today?", he said no and I set off home. Got home to find that...

Bugger, just glanced at your post - I thought that NSTAMAIWGTSB was our new centre half. :facepalm:

I'd be very grateful :)

Just to freshen things up, couldn't we have: I take it none of you will be going to Anfield when we draw them in the FA Cup? or even I take it none of you will be going to Stamford Bridge when we draw them in the FA Cup? It'd just make it a bit less repetitive.

I know that you're making an entirely different point, but given our current plight it just looks odd to be talking about our "home" gates as "only averaging 17.2k".

I'm tempted to say "Breaking news" - though I'll avoid the capital letters and irritating overuse of exclamation marks. I'll settle for correcting your maths and pointing out that it's actually 100p more than NOPM.

Whatever the background to the talks, it would be very good news if they succeed.

I'd prefer the latter :)

To be honest Nick, I think that if we get good offers, then players are going to leave - irrespective of being in Northampton and irrespective of NOPM. It's one thing that I haven't criticised SISU for because it's always been the way of things and probably always will - on a similar thread, I...

You'll recall that at the forums, TF said that they wouldn't sell because "you don't sell at the bottom of the business cycle". Since then, they've lost 80% to 90% of last year's customer base. If, as you suggest, they then sell the better players (as they're the ones that people will want to...

To make the losses that they have to cover, bigger!!

You never told us that you worked in marketing! :)

Now we all know that, but TF either doesn't know that or pretends that he doesn't know that.

He won't go for free as he's under 24 - unless he's sold to a non-English club.

Well, that may be your view. Personally, I'm not sure what the characteristics of "your average suit" are. I'll leave that to your greater insight.

To be honest, I thought that the supporters were very positive at Shrewsbury. I expect that to be just the same at Port Vale.

I think it's pretty standard for Directors to have lunch with the Directors of their opponents before the game and then to sit together during the match. But then you knew that, didn't you :)
