    Investment

    We averaged low to mid 40s as a bang average prem side so I don't see any reason we can't push the 50s with a bit of success. As said before though affordability is huge. I also think decent investment in the matchday experience would get more in too. Its garbage for people with young kids at...

    S.A.F.C. - the future

    This lad has made a great start. He is clearly from the actions speak louder than words school of though. Much happier to to see positive action and find out about it through it actually happening rather than a waffly club statement full of sound bytes on the website saying this is what we are...

    S.A.F.C. - the future

    Its his club now so its on him. In theory there is nothing that should get in his way. He has plenty of cash, we aren't lumbered with players on 50k a week with 4 year contracts. We have an amazing stadium and training facility. We have a fanbase who will fill the place in a heartbeat at the...

    S.A.F.C. - the future

    I have no idea if Johnson is the right man for the job, but if he's the new owners choice, he needs to back him to the hilt in the summer. This lot have proven under 3 managers they don't have what it takes and have been fortunate there were no fans for the last 12 months of their efforts. I...

    Salary Cap Rumours

    The salary cap is there to prevent owners gambling with money, where if they fail, the club's future becomes threatened. If they do the fit and proper owners test effectively, there is no need for it. At the very least though it is insane to have the same cap for every club regardless of their...

    S.A.F.C. - the future

    Be great to get someone with a huge CV but we shouldn't assume people can't develop. He's still very young and will undoubtedly have learnt a lot in these past few years. This is a huge opportunity for him, one in which he will be hugely determined to succeed in. I wish him luck, and as long...

    S.A.F.C. - the future

    I agree we need someone at that tech/dof level. The place is such a mess its definitely too much to stick on 1 persons shoulders. Need a real team effort

    S.A.F.C. - the future

    I'm not sure it means we are doing it on the cheap. Especially not knowing what was offered. Just because we may have money doesn't mean we should roll over and pay him what he wants. Poyet would have been a great statement but if he wanted Premier league money, maybe they thought his CV...

    S.A.F.C. - the future

    I also think we need to be careful assuming the new manager has to be our manager for the next 10 years. So much can happen in football, 1 good year from an up and coming manager can see them poached by the big boys easily enough. I like they want someone who fits the model of the club they...

    S.A.F.C. - the future

    Surely if they expected poyet to join, there isn't going to be an alternative ready to step in the day after he changes his mind. Would much rather they take stock, re assess before diving in.

    S.A.F.C. - the future

    We could end up with anyone here. For me though I just want someone with the ability to get across to the players what is acceptable in terms of effort, balanced with the amount of arrogance needed to believe we should be blasting our way through this league.

    Off The Boil, City

    The pitch is an issue at the minute but not through lack of investment. Over the past 3/4 years there has been a 2 week period in the summer where concerts are on (same happening again this year). It really screws the pitch up and it has to be immediately re-laid, but the constant returfing...

    Phil Gray

    Remember him scoring a 40 yarder at Grimsby on ITV once. Absolutely awesome goal. May even have been the promotion year under Reid. (His last season I think)

    Redknapp Court Case

    Obviously Spurs fans will be defending him to the hilt and opposition fans will be hoping he is found guilty. Basically we should just let the courts do their job. If Harry has been up to no good then rightly he should go to jail, and I would imagine face punishment from the FA as it appears...
