Saints still paying Adkins
8:21am Tuesday 5th March 2013 in Sport
NIGEL ADKINS
Nigel Adkins is using the League Managers Association’s legal team to try and settle his outstanding issues with Saints.
The former St Mary’s boss was sacked by executive chairman Nicola Cortese on January 18 and replaced by Mauricio Pochettino.
It is understood that Saints have placed Adkins on gardening leave. The club are still paying him his regular salary rather than immediately settling his contract, which had more than two years still to run.
Adkins has asked the LMA’s legal experts to try and help him remedy the situation as soon as possible so he can move on.
Under the regular terms of gardening leave, a person usually waives the right to have any further compensation if they take another job.
Adkins has been linked with jobs at the likes of Blackpool, Huddersfield and Swindon since leaving Saints – but potentially faced walking away from his Saints pay-off should he have taken one.
There is every chance he may not have considered those roles anyway.
But that might not be the case with Leeds United who are understood to be keen to sound him out as a possible replacement for Neil Warnock, who has indicated he could leave in the summer.
It is understood that since his dismissal Adkins, who led Saints to back-to-back promotions to the Premier League, has taken a holiday but is still living in the area, albeit keeping a very low profile.
He is sure to be a much-in-demand man for clubs with a managerial vacancy to fill.
His record both with Saints and Scunthorpe shows the ability to get clubs promoted – last season he collected his fourth Football League promotion in six seasons as a manager.
And after the impact he was starting to have on Saints in the top flight before he was sensationally axed, he could even potentially land a Premier League job.
However, first on the agenda is to get a settlement with Saints so he can move on.
Saints did not respond to a request for a comment.

You get sacked, get a quick job offer but have to give up your garden leave pay. So in effect you forsake any severance pay. In this case it works well for club who fire you. They get away with it cheaply.
My guess is the LMA would argue that Nigel is being restrained from applying for jobs by golden handcuffs which stop him being employed for the next two years; which will in turn harm his chances of being employed after that time because he hasn't practiced his profession. So they will seek a compromise agreement with SFC. Say pay him half of the remainder of his contract and and let him seek further employment.
We shall see. More likely we won't because it will be shrouded in secrecy.

I hope the managers assc get a court date and sort this for Nigel asap. This very Saintly Hero deserves a fair and honourable handshake along with his payout. Good Luck Nigel... may those involved remember to look in the mirror.

This is all pretty normal in this situatiuon. I think he's having a well deserved rest after having been treated pretty shabbily. He has signed a contract and if he's getting paid he doesn't really have grounds for complaint. Should he decide to take another position and get a good contract then it's good news all round. Leeds would be great for him. Another big club where he will only enhance his reputation.
This is normal behaviour for Cortese, and I just don't get why people are continuing to ignore his behaviour.

Cortese is not a nice person. He fires Adkins and then won't pay up his contract. He knows that legally he will have to settle, but is hoping that by stringing it out, Adkins will have to forgo the money in order to get another job. Cortese already has plenty of previous in playing around with people's lives in order to save a few quid. Wealth and business cunning - maybe. Morals, ethics and class? Not for me. It feels to me like cancer is beginning to grow at the heart of Southampton FC.

Legally NA is under contract... end of
Say his contract is worth 600k-1m is that money that the Liebhers would like to see given to someone? Not the best way to run a business. As a fan i would prefer to see this money invested in the club
What I would expect to see is a compromise with the club Adkins goes to, where the cost of terminating Nigels contract is as close to cost nutral as possible.
If he had decided to leave saints for a bigger club the club would have recieved a fee. Whoever he goes to will get a bargin anyway.
I know there has been talk of Leeds but I can genuinely see West Ham being a good fit for him. How would fans feel about Cortese if he paid Nigel 1m to go to West Ham

Well done to the future teams showing real quality at U18 & U21 level.
Back on topic Adkins can have a nice rest for the next 2-years until the right club comes calling thanks to SFC. No worries Nige chill out man and spend some quality time with the missus!

When you consider NA's track record, it is staggering that NC sacked him. Even more staggering, he replaced him with a manager with a mediocre track record who can’t communicate in English. A manager with little or no knowledge of the English game. This fixation that foreign must be better could well come back to haunt NC come May. Meanwhile, Nigel Adkins deserves a full pay-out from SFC, he was brilliant for us. He has a very bright future, some club will be fortunate to get him on board.

With his record he will be on the radar of virtually every big C/hip club and he will also be able to demand a very healthy contract. However, if MoPo fails us it might be a very good idea to have Super Nige on the subs bench to make a stunning comeback next season. You never know in football!!

Most of us feel an emotional attachment to Nigel. We liked him and he delivered great results. His sacking was painful.
But it wasn't a one way deal. Southampton was very good for Nigel too. When he moved from a lowly and threadbare Scunthorpe many of us, including me, were surprised and disappointed that a bigger name and more experienced manager had not been appointed to succeed Pardew. Nigel joined a big club in the third tier with the financial backing and the infrastructure clearly in place to move up. It was a fantastic opportunity for him.
Of course he grabbed the chance and made a name for himself and raised his stature in the football world tenfold - from relative obscurity to relative fame.
And today, as a direct result, he's being linked with other big clubs such as Leeds and will no doubt land a good job with one of them. His future looks bright and certainly a lot brighter than it did at Scunthorpe three years ago.
But for Nicola and but for Southampton, I doubt he would be in the same position now.
Nigel's being paid according to his contract and if he lands that other well paid job there will no doubt be a negotiation to settle his Saints deal. Either way he'll be on top pay throughout - and no doubt a pay level which is many times more than he had 3 years ago.
The club owes Nigel for three great years of success. But Nigel owes the club for taking him from obscurity and providing the platform for that success and for giving him the opportunities and financial rewards that he now has in prospect. And by the way, Nigel got out with his reputation intact for the future. It might not have been that way had he stayed. His salary now is entirely risk-free.
I wish Nigel well, I really do. But I'm not unhappy about the club dealing with this matter in a businesslike way and I do not want to see the club giving precious resources away that it doesn't need to.

Saints had a reputation as being a family club, at present I would suggest NC is doing his best to alienate as much of the fanbase as he can, he's great at doing that.
When the Marcus took the club over he reminded us of our roots, NC is looking forward and has delusions if hethinksthat all will be forgiven with a taste of success.
At this point the honest fan has to ask
Whether he can support a club that has so little moral authority, after all football is wonderfully karmic in it's nature. Katerina liebherr I would hope may be concerned. As she is so young ican not see any restraining influence with an old banker like Cortese.
Concerned sums up my feelings.
Solutions come in unexpected ways sometimes
Let's hope the fates are kind.
Saints forever.

some have stated that NC is vindictive and is a `cancer` at our club, well if that were anyway near being true then he would have started a smear campaign against MLT, he hasn't in fact he brushed off the MLT affair quite well with a well mannered response.
the days of a football club being like a `family` club are long gone and you can blame who you like for that, sky, owners and players have all come in for criticism over this and all have a part to play. however if you want to support a `family` run club then you should think again about supporting saints. sfc is now run as a business and is run well if you count league position as a factor of success. I know some don't like the way NC runs things, mainly because most things are now kept `in house`, but ask yourself would you rather go back to the days of lowe and the boardroom infighting when everything was in the press? or would you like to have a club like qpr where your manager talks to anyone who will listen about future player purchases, to such an extent that a player turned up at the door inking he was getting a transfer even after his club told him that he wasn't?
NC has got things wrong but then who hasn't? but what he is doing is what he thinks is best for the club!
perhaps keeping NA `on the books` like this is preventing him from joining another prem club this season, we woudnt have wanted NA to turn up at the likes of villa would we?

However, for what it's worth, it sounds to me as though both parties (and their legal teams) are acting exactly as they should; keeping the matter private by not speaking publically about it and fighting for the best interests of those they represent (NA - himself, NC - the club).
Right, Norwich, decent club, fairly average, time to move above them and head for safety ..... 3pts please.

has anyone told mrsa that most if not all of the fans are backing NA and do not and never will `hate` him! same as they don't hate MLT or FB. ex-players and managers have disputes with clubs and its ok that they do. NA wants a fair pay off and saints/NC doesn`t want to pay out more than he has to. there is nothing wrong about that. MH is going through the same thing with qpr after his sacking.

Firstly NC is a great business man and is certainly no mug despite what posters may say on here. He is also great at running our club.

To be successful at those two things you have to have a ruthless streak ... and he has it.

Secondly ....... It is normal practice for a player or manager to continue receiving a salary whilst still under contract.......... I knew of two ex players at St Mary's who were paid for two years on this basis. However NA has every right to have his contract settled if it can be agreed.

Of course Nigel did a terrific job for us. But should the club now pay him more than it is contractually obliged to do?
Most of us feel an emotional attachment to Nigel. We liked him and he delivered great results. His sacking was painful.
But it wasn't a one way deal. Southampton was very good for Nigel too. When he moved from a lowly and threadbare Scunthorpe many of us, including me, were surprised and disappointed that a bigger name and more experienced manager had not been appointed to succeed Pardew. Nigel joined a big club in the third tier with the financial backing and the infrastructure clearly in place to move up. It was a fantastic opportunity for him.
Of course he grabbed the chance and made a name for himself and raised his stature in the football world tenfold - from relative obscurity to relative fame.
And today, as a direct result, he's being linked with other big clubs such as Leeds and will no doubt land a good job with one of them. His future looks bright and certainly a lot brighter than it did at Scunthorpe three years ago.
But for Nicola and but for Southampton, I doubt he would be in the same position now.
Nigel's being paid according to his contract and if he lands that other well paid job there will no doubt be a negotiation to settle his Saints deal. Either way he'll be on top pay throughout - and no doubt a pay level which is many times more than he had 3 years ago.
The club owes Nigel for three great years of success. But Nigel owes the club for taking him from obscurity and providing the platform for that success and for giving him the opportunities and financial rewards that he now has in prospect. And by the way, Nigel got out with his reputation intact for the future. It might not have been that way had he stayed. His salary now is entirely risk-free.
I wish Nigel well, I really do. But I'm not unhappy about the club dealing with this matter in a businesslike way and I do not want to see the club giving precious resources away that it doesn't need to.
The Poor Nigel and Nasty Nicola brigade are out in full. Nige hasn't been sacked, just stood down. If some other club want him they can pay for the privelege, just like we did, and help negotiate his way out of a contract that he happily signed.
Business is business.

in yesterdays thread he stated that NC will make the fans `hate` NA, read todays thread and have not seen anyone saying anything anti adkins (don't include fish)! we all saw what mrsa was like when she kept going on about gastons `dead leg`. wild `truths` and accusations are the norm for mrsa, I think he/she revels in arguments often contradicting previous statements. at one point mrsa was saying that NA was out of his depth and not up to the job, now look at the way NC is getting abused for sacking him.
strass, I think mrsa`s continual outbursts against people who prove him/her wrong show an absolute lack of any character, which is a shame because I don't come on here to argue with people. I will however correct what I see to be blatant untruths about my club and its staff and players I will include ex-staff and ex-players in that.

I think Confucius made the best summary. The whole severance position would have been in the contract, Adkins would have known that. It has nothing to do with how well Adkins did while he was here, it is all to do with what was agreed in the contract. That is how the world works. In the absence of a full explanation from someone who knows what they are talking about we must wait for news after Nigel has completed his legal options. There wont be much of that in the press other trhan speculation.
I do hope that Nigel can get himself a job though and that any obstacles to that are removed. I think we will hear of him again and I think he will rise again ate the right club. We shall see.

if you find another job and your gardening leave is still running then you get the best of both worlds.
If you have a clause in your contract stating that if you find another job you will no longer be paid by SFC, then you cant have it all ways.
Simples.
How do we know what NAs performance related contractual obligations were? I think after losing 8 out of the first 10 he was in breach, then NC started looking and this was compounded by some dodgy substitutions and losing from winning positions.

Nigel did a great job but couldn't sustain the same rate of success this year. Therefore, just like a sales job if you are consistently not performing and damaging the companies/clubs performance your position is compromised and ultimately terminated with gardening leave being the
compensation.
if you find another job and your gardening leave is still running then you get the best of both worlds.

Nigel did a great job but couldn't sustain the same rate of success this year. Therefore, just like a sales job if you are consistently not performing and damaging the companies/clubs performance your position is compromised and ultimately terminated with gardening leave being the
compensation.
if you find another job and your gardening leave is still running then you get the best of both worlds.
If you have a clause in your contract stating that if you find another job you will no longer be paid by SFC, then you cant have it all ways.
Simples.
How do we know what NAs performance related contractual obligations were? I think after losing 8 out of the first 10 he was in breach, then NC started looking and this was compounded by some dodgy substitutions and losing from winning positions.
I really appreciate what he did, but why should we pay him for the next 2 years?
He would be lying though if he said that some nights when he went to bed he didnt lay there thinking that he may get the push if things didnt improve.
It would be niaive to think your position was safe even though you were 3 points above relegation and lost far more than you had won.

Cortese is not a nice person. He fires Adkins and then won't pay up his contract. He knows that legally he will have to settle, but is hoping that by stringing it out, Adkins will have to forgo the money in order to get another job. Cortese already has plenty of previous in playing around with people's lives in order to save a few quid. Wealth and business cunning - maybe. Morals, ethics and class? Not for me. It feels to me like cancer is beginning to grow at the heart of Southampton FC.

I don't post on your site personally, but I do go and have a look sometimes. It's the best laugh around and your posters write better fiction than Star Wars!
Some headlines that will be appearing on the Snews this week:
GUY'S TEAM TALK
Guy Whittingham states that he will explain to the squad that they play on SATURDAYS and not STATUEDAYS. Hopefully this will improve peformances.
POINTS NOT PEOPLE
The FA felt it necessary to clarify that the figure for the points in the League 1 table should not be confused with attendances at Fratton Park even though the numbers were similar.
PARA'S LINK UP
Next season's sponsors have been unveiled as the Ministry of Defence. It is understood that the new shirts will be fitted with parachute packs to slow down our drop through the leagues.

His first responsibility is to the owners who bailed the club out and financed our push into the premiership.
They no longer have Markus' passion for football and Saints FC, they just want a good return for their investment.
Part of that is running a tight ship.
The way that Nicola runs the ship means that there are casualties along the way, but you will still be slapping him on the back if we are top 10 next premiership next year and potentially playing in Europe.. I for one prefer that to playing Hull on a rainy bog of a pitch on a wednesday night.

Oh it was a formality!
We poured big money into it!
Let's look at that shall we?
08/09 - 11/12
Tranfers in
Leicester £7.5m
Cardiff £7.6m
Ipswich £5.8m
Hull £12m (09/10 - 11/12) or £22m
Saints £5.1m
This doesnt include transfers out. Ox alone wipes this away to show a net profit of £7m.
The facts are that we are now a top flight football team for very little outlay. Not bad business at all!

There's no real meat to this story. NA is being paid according to contract. He's apparently spoken to legal advisers about sorting out a compromise agreement. You know what, that happened to me in my last job and it wasn't reported in the DE. Partly because no-one gives a toss who I am and partly because it wasn't in any way out of the ordinary. That's what happens when you lose your job.
To try to use it as some kind of proof that Cortese is Lucifer is stretching the point a little.
Still do carry on but please do look out for your blood pressure.

Of course Adkins is still being paid, He's under contract, and an unbelievable amount of "posters" on here personally know Nicola Cortese, to the extent that they know exactly what he's like and that he's knows nothing about running a multi million pound company, what he has for dinner, probably small children according to Abbey Saint, have held in depth conversations with Nigel whilst going to the Toilet!

To be able to speak it confidently infront of cameras which will be seen by almost everyone who follows football in England is a different matter though.
Way too cold to do gardening at this time of the year.
When you consider NA's track record, it is staggering that NC sacked him. Even more staggering, he replaced him with a manager with a mediocre track record who can’t communicate in English. A manager with little or no knowledge of the English game. This fixation that foreign must be better could well come back to haunt NC come May. Meanwhile, Nigel Adkins deserves a full pay-out from SFC, he was brilliant for us. He has a very bright future, some club will be fortunate to get him on board.
I'd also dispute his mediocre track record, he constantly kept Espanyol up, despite the board selling off his best players every season, and having to rely on youth, who he brought through successfully, unfortunately you can't keep doing this every season.
A manager of little or no knowledge of English football is also questionable, how do you measure knowledge, whilst he's never managed in England, that doesn't mean he's never followed or watched it. It also never stops people coming on here and giving their views on certain players and formations. He does also have international experience as a player.
Not sure where you got that NC is fixated on foreign, two of the three managers appointed by him have been British, he wants to have a large proportion of the team being made up of home-grown players as well, so that has no substance.
I appreciate what Adkins did for us, but nothing is going to bring him back, so we need to focus on going forward. It's Southampton FC we support, not the individuals.

Cortese is not a nice person. He fires Adkins and then won't pay up his contract. He knows that legally he will have to settle, but is hoping that by stringing it out, Adkins will have to forgo the money in order to get another job. Cortese already has plenty of previous in playing around with people's lives in order to save a few quid. Wealth and business cunning - maybe. Morals, ethics and class? Not for me. It feels to me like cancer is beginning to grow at the heart of Southampton FC.

Interesting. I believe Di Matteo has a similar agreement with Chelsea. It works in favour of an out going manager if he has performed badly and clubs aren't interested in employing him, or he isn't interested in being employed. But against him, if like Nigel, the manager has been successful and wants to be employed reasonably quickly.
You get sacked, get a quick job offer but have to give up your garden leave pay. So in effect you forsake any severance pay. In this case it works well for club who fire you. They get away with it cheaply.
My guess is the LMA would argue that Nigel is being restrained from applying for jobs by golden handcuffs which stop him being employed for the next two years; which will in turn harm his chances of being employed after that time because he hasn't practiced his profession. So they will seek a compromise agreement with SFC. Say pay him half of the remainder of his contract and and let him seek further employment.
We shall see. More likely we won't because it will be shrouded in secrecy.

This is all pretty normal in this situatiuon. I think he's having a well deserved rest after having been treated pretty shabbily. He has signed a contract and if he's getting paid he doesn't really have grounds for complaint. Should he decide to take another position and get a good contract then it's good news all round. Leeds would be great for him. Another big club where he will only enhance his reputation.
This is normal behaviour for Cortese, and I just don't get why people are continuing to ignore his behaviour.
Why should Saints pay him up in full if it was not in the contract?
Maybe not his full contract but surely a Fair settlement with a big fat add on which rewards Adkins for his wonderful unforgettable contribution to the club (including a public "Thank You") which allows Adkins to move on would be best for all concerned.
Maybe that 5 seconds Corese and Adkins did not get on after the sacking (re Cortese interview) will haunt us forever ala the Benali ephisode and the cascade of sh** that followed.
I hope not.

I resent being called a muppet just because I disagree with what you say, if you weren't such an obnoxious poster I might find some respect for you, but sorry I don't believe a word of what you are saying, you have had the honour of speaking to Nigel, please enlighten us with what he told you, I suspect that he, being a gentleman and honourable to a fault, would have told you absolutely nothing.

The real problem is the feeble minded on here are wedded to their "saints" withour regard for that actually is, they would still turn up and watch 11 elephants in red if their hero NC said it was necessary.....they have no idea of tactics, have never managed a team of football players, always think because someone is paid a lot of money "they know what they are doing"... its hilarious... Feeble minds, feeble comments, no loyalty whatsoever,,,, oh sorry loyalty to the elephants, forgot that.
There is no evidence that you and Adkins are best Mates and no reason for me to believe it. Why are you trying to bias fans against Cortese and those in charge of the club based on evidence nobody could challenge or reasonbly beilieve except for the ill informed and gullible.
You have posted far better before IMO. Is emotion getting the better of you?

I've already torn your previous contentions to shreds with some facts but have it your way, we all know how you feel but repeating the same dross day after day after day aint gonna get you any more sympathy.
The funny thing is you have previously said about how NC listens to no-one, wants everything his own way, doesn't like criticism, not liked because of his autocratic nature.

Fans can stop attending (like what happened here before the take over and down the M27 now. That would turn some heads).
With near capacity crowds I cannot see how you can act as though what you feel is in th interests or wishes of the majority.
I for one am happy with the current set up. Improvements could be made but I do not agree with you or your vitriol and I do not think you have the right to speak for fans in general let alone REAL fans.

Whatever the case....I aint gonna attempt to undermine my Club...those who do should go find another one to undermine imo.
MGRA needs to decide if he is a Saints fan first or a NA fan...if it's the latter, he will probably have a new club to support very soon and he won't be missed on these threads by me tbh.

I've already torn your previous contentions to shreds with some facts but have it your way, we all know how you feel but repeating the same dross day after day after day aint gonna get you any more sympathy.
The funny thing is you have previously said about how NC listens to no-one, wants everything his own way, doesn't like criticism, not liked because of his autocratic nature.
Remind you of anyone?

In this case, both parties have entered willingly into a contract, the implications of which they would have been fully aware. I don't think it's a case of one screwing the other, more a case of both wanting to dissolve the contract to mutual satisfaction.
I'm sure it's a question of Nigel wanting to move on and NC trying to ensure that, if another club is interested, they will suitably compensate Nigel ergo us for services.

I'm full square behind MP, he's the manager and I hope his high pressing tactics pay off for us in the end. I've enjoyed my football under all three.

no relax mrsa its not you! when I saw nani get sent off I thought it was the right call as it was a high challenge, however I wasn't sure if that was down to my dislike of everything manure. then after the game ROY KEANE says it was the right call and I agree with him! arrrggggghhhhhh never thought I would do that. next thing I will be agreeing with mrsa! who by the way has posted exactly what keane said about the red card, only minutes after keane said it!
again relax mrsa I will never agree with any of the bile you write about my club.

I was very pro Pards and was gutted when he got the boot. Nigel did a fantastic job and I was amazed (but not massively surprised) when he got the boot. I'm full square behind MP, he's the manager and I hope his high pressing tactics pay off for us in the end. I've enjoyed my football under all three.
I think NC's decisions have worked out for him so far and fairplay to him. I'm happy with his decision making ability but think his style is pants.
I'm a bit conflicted about it because we hear so much and know so little. I hear these bad stories, then I see or read him in interview and end up thinking Is it bad press? Or good spin?

I think the time has come to ignor anything from MGRA, it's beginning to get out of hand and I am being portrayed as an Internet bully, that's the last thing I want, I want to see the truth, MGRA has totally discredited himself and should be disregarded for the time being.
That is probably one of the most childish comments posted on the whole thread.
Very poor....I'd expect much better from you.
But your respect for fellow fans views seem very shallow tonight.
You need to take stock to whether you support SFC...want to undermine it...or follow NA in his chosen career path.
Your choice MGRA.
you can take this post however you like but I am not giving you abuse, in fact I am trying to let you see why so many are annoyed by your posts.

The way I see it, there was about 10000 of us who wanted Lowe out and acted accordingly in them there dark days!
At the moment there seems to be 2 who want NC out so that should tell you that you have a fair way to go to get "real" fans rallying to the cause. Or you could be wrong.
I'm not sure when the 10000 who had the foresight to act then, became blind muppets so you wil have to enlighten me.
I don't know the inner details of what has gone on with Nigel but once again adding some "perspective":- He has hardly been thrown on the scrap-heap, destitute, penniless, never to work again has he?
I get the feeling that your posts reflect something a little more personal if indeed you have had dealings with the club?
For the record, I haven't abused you, I only suggested that your posts be sponsored by OKI or Jobsite as they fly in the face of what a Saints fan would usually post.

Seedhouse the Unrepentant wrote:Agreed, pants with a capital P!! Is NC being ill advised. Maybe Sack jordan.
I was very pro Pards and was gutted when he got the boot. Nigel did a fantastic job and I was amazed (but not massively surprised) when he got the boot. I'm full square behind MP, he's the manager and I hope his high pressing tactics pay off for us in the end. I've enjoyed my football under all three.
I think NC's decisions have worked out for him so far and fairplay to him. I'm happy with his decision making ability but think his style is pants.

When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea. Club Spokesman at Southampton FC. Views are my own etc
A bit arrognant for a PR guru for a club which struggles with it's reputation
Jordan Sibley is paid to do that job...and quite frankly...there are many posters on here who could do a better job of it (in my humble opinion).
Whether he is a nice guy should not come into it.

Hopefully we remain there, but if we drop then this adulation of NC will evaporate in an instant. I also find it hilarious that a couple of "old timers" here who said they would "rather get relegated with Nigel" than stay in the prem with a new manager have changed their tune ,,, quietly ,,, but they know who they are and they know they said it...... and who said footy fans were fickle..... Anyway , its all footy debate so a bit surreal by definition anyway. I just hope we stay up, he goes,,, and MP finally works out his way forward, gets a few players in and away we go....oh and of course NA gets justice.... and lots of it....

You bring it on yourself really.
Not sure where you think you have siezed the moral high ground, but most seem to disagree.
I am of the opinion that others have expressed a different, and I stress, in my opinion a more balanced view.
If they tried insinuate they had inside knowldge to sway opinion, they would be equally ridiculed. Enough from me on that.
Agreed, hope we stay up and all works out!

I was there earlier during the day for a meeting with the brewery for a contract and my lot stayed to hook up with a couple of players to chat about some promo work over a beer.... The only reason I remember it so clearly was that I was totally sober and I remember the players starting to wind up some of the punters especially when Mr Lowe was mentioned.... it all got a bit rude and edgy.... I have only been to that pub twice in my entire life so not a problem recalling that....
