you just know if the takeover goes thru, folk are gonna whinge like fuck if Fitton gets a new manager in that aint top of our wish list.

But FFS, beggars can't be choosers and given our current predicament, lets just get behind whoever it is.....PLEASE (yes that includes Allen or even Byrne/Williams)

We all like something to moan about from time to time, and we've flogged this saga to death so far this season, so lets make a New Years resolution to be as positive as poss eh?

I thank you

totally agree, time to all unite

Ummmm bit of a presumptuous post don't you think?

I see where your coming from but I think we would have every right to moan about Byrne & Williams as they aren't what we need. And we need a man the fans can unite behind which certainly aint Allen so I also think we'd have cause to be annoyed if he was appointed.
Probably won't get our first choices but either of those appointments are no go areas.

1. no takerover has gone through yet

2. the management at the footballing level is just as import as the management at board room level

missed the 'if' word in my post did you??

as for the rest of your post  :groan1:

1. no shit

2. no shit

3.  :groan1:

Well what if we can get a plan B with SSW and Diamandis still here, but with the manager we want?

The problem is that internal appointments at STFC just don't work, we all united behind Iffy and a fat lot of good it did us, I don't want to go through that again....
And down the years we've had people like King & McMahon who had zero people skills and upset alot of supporters, Allen would do that again and cause more arguments.

I maintain my point that neither of those appointments should even be considered.

if as i suspect the takeover still doesn't happen.we will stumble along with byrne and williams in charge.we will slide down the league and our injuries and suspensions will further halt any progress on the pitch.
basiclally without the board stepping aside we is fucked dudes.
if fitton does get control mad dog would be a good boss imo.
and i'm sure he'd get him or another half decent manager in

I agree with you arriba, i'm sorry for being negative but i don't think the takeover will happen either, but if the takeover doesn't happen the club dies we cannot really stumble on for much longer.

yeah but we will stumble on for a while until the plug is pulled.
just a matter of when

If the takeover doesn't happen, don't worry about stumbling on, we will have a matter of weeks before we're put out of our misery permanently. If it does, the most important thing is going to be the massive task of rebuilding the club, with the first goal being financial stability. Make no mistake, this club is a total mess from top to bottom - it's a hell of a job to do that rebuilding and jimbob's right Fitton will need and deserve our support in doing that.

If you guys had got off your arses and joined the few of us that bothered to go to Southend, you would have seen fans united in singing about the future of the club, you would have seen some good player selection and tactics (yes, it seemed risky but it worked so fair play), and you would have genuinely felt for the players, and for Byrne and Williams who deserved more from a game against a decent side.

Not saying taht Byrne is the long term solution, but rushing into a decision and e,ploying somebody shite and affordable seems stupid to me when we can cling to the hope that the takeover might still go through.

fuck off you sanctomonious cunt. you're living in london off a student loan, it's hardly difficult for you to get there is it?

Agree completely - but also somewhere as a pretty high priority there needs to be a way to rejoin all the "factions" into one again as well ..... the Supporters Club, the Trust, the silent non-believers, the stayaways (some for a few seasons now) and all the various fencesitters.... oh and of course the busybodies too  :P !!

Perhaps the first stage along the way could be an organised celebration/party atmosphere for the first home game after the takeover is finally announced as totally complete (always assuming it happens cos if it doesn't then we are finished).

Perhaps the adver/BBC/Western Daily .... and yes sod it even Brunel if they feel they are up to it ... could help by getting involved?

Considering I'm currently trying to put my house back together following it getting destroyed by floods I'm so sorry that I'm not able to get to every game  :roll:

yep Id be up for that and would help in anyway I can,but lets just wait and see what happens first.Because if there is no take over and there is another game at the County my priorty will be to smash up the Directors seats Brighton Style :o *

*If I can in the Arkells :D

**and If I'm not working afterwards :x

nobody has to defend their reasons for attending today or not.i aint been to an away game for nearly 2 years.
whoopee fucking doo!
i hate all this high and mighty i'm a better fan than you shit.
bollocks!

you haven't been to an away game for two years? yet you have the nerve to call yourself a fan?

pfft.

i might not need to for long eh? :wink:

I went to Leeds

That'll be it for me I expect.

Way to much hassle for me these days,i simply cannot be arsed.

Im going to Spurs in January though :o

I think the point Reevesy was making went straight over your pretty little heads.

which opposition team are you supporting yeovil?

I'll be a plastic Yid my friend :D

Against Sunderland

what future? exactly

if you want to still believe in this takeover than more fool you because most of us have listened to the board cry wolf on too many occasions.

The deal was dead on Thursday, now everyone is united singing about our future as we lose another game with a pair of caretaker managers than have never managed to win a league point between them.

If we'd have had a proper manager in charge today we wouldnt have lost.

If we have no future it doesn't matter if we lost because we had a couple of caretaker managers.

I can see jimbob's original point now, I couldn't the other day.

i'm confused...

you think the takeover is dead but you think we should hurry up and appoint a new manager?

Ooh we could appoint someone and see if we can sack them quicker than that guy at Torquay was sacked the other season.that way STFC would live on in the Guiness Book of records

i reckon we hold a record for quickest resignation, remember tuttle taking the caretaker role then rejecting it the next day?

yes....

......im not legal trading expert thingy but untill the club is axtually dead there will still be games of football. Higher finishers and winning games brings in more money anyway!

Unless you can honestly tell me, the club will die within 2 weeks (which as far as im aware you cant?!) then we need a new managers because whatever happens there will be another game on saturday and the saturday after etc etc

Nobody but the creditors can tell you that Dan.

If HMRC decide on Monday to come get their debts, then it'll be 2 weeks max from then.

I take your point. Equally, we don't have the money to get in the sort of managers you'd like.

ok, probably too logical....but use a % of the wages we would have been paying Sturrock to finance a new managers?!

By all accounts we were paying Sturrock quite well? (or we were supposed to be paying...)

if the takeover doesn't go through, we won't survive until the end of the season, so what difference does it make?

do you know this to be fact?

no. i doubt anyone knows for a fact what will happen over the next week either.

the priority must be the survival of the club in it's current form and whoever is in charge of the first team will make no difference whatsoever to whether we continue to exist or not

The priority is indeed the survival of the club. I'll keep my knackers crossed that Fitton wins the battle with the cunts in Ramsbury and Newbury first and foremost. If he takes over the club I think we could do a lot worse than have Byrne and Williams being in charge, albeit temporrarily. The Carlisle result and performance on Tuesday night was an extreme crock of shit. A couple of seconds less on the refs watch today though would have brought a well deserved point home. That they had the bottle to drop players today and draft in new blood demonstrates to me that Byrne and Williams have their own ideas on how the game should be played and who's best to wear the red shirts on the day. They possibly also have the all important respect of the players, as you don't get a performance like that shown today at Southend if your considered an arsehole manager by the players.

I agree with the possible Iffy Onouara nightmare scenario worries, but I think Byrne and Williams should be given a few games more to prove themselves (or otherwise) even if a new manager is  quietly lined up to take control behind the scenes.

Well they say there are only two things are certain in life & that is Death & taxes.
Taxes, being one off the things that STFC are behind on, makes it a bloody near certainty.

Thankyou Si! Atleast somebody got the idea!

I'm not trying to paint a picture of me being the most die hard fan on here - I'm nowhere near it and don't clai to be. I was just pissed off that less than 400 people bothered to go. Wasn't aimed at anybody in particular as plenty of people have good reasons not to go.

And yes Sonic, I live in London so am closer than most but I probably would have gone from Swindon. Oh and when you deduct my accomodation from my student loan, I'm currently living on about -£15 a week. Hardly helping me watch Swindon is it

Do you eat then?

FWIW i couldnt go to the game anyway, as couldnt get the time off.
Plus i have better things to spend my money on at the moment

FWIW, the most important thing, IMHO, is that the takeover happens.

If we get relegated due to the protracted takeover and a possible points deduction, it'll be disappointing, but not half as disappointing as no club next season.

And all this talk of who's the best supporter is invalid, as it's obvious I am

 :D

No you aint, I am..... 8)

I think you/we are all very fickle supporters.
Maverick is No. 1 he never misses a game.

No Dell, no!!!

Toni must be surely  :wink:

I don't think I'm fickle, the only time I don't go to games is when I can't afford it. If the team is playing shite I still go.

But there are a lot of casual supporters who only go when the team are doing well, or it's a big game.

At the end of the day some people actually have an interesting and varied life away from STFC and good for them.

(Un)fortunately I'm not one of them 8)

I forgot Toni!!!! :soapy tit wank:

This season I've only been to handful of games, cant get the enthusiasm to attend these days, first time for many seasons. :cry:

I was showing my missus some of the photos from Leeds, she reckons you look like a hoolie  8)

I also dont go as much cos I work varying shifts

The problem with me is I think I'm addicted to STFC (Why couldn't it have been heroin?) If I can't go, I'm miserable as fuck (A lot of times when I do go I'm miserable as fuck as well, but that's addiction for you).

It doesn't make me a better, or worse, supporter than anyone else (In fact it probably makes me a bit of a sad tosser)

I've often wondered what I'd do if the club went bust, but I can't think of a single thing that interests me as much.

I'd probably take a leaf out of Sussex's book and wank all day over internet animal porn..............................

Show her a picture of Yeovil :D

ahh, maverick missed mansfield away last year.

mex is clearly no. 1 fan

aaaaah, but Mex got himself banned and missed games, so Maverick and Toni are top of the leaders board.

i didnt see maverick or toni yesterday. so fuck off the lot of yers.

Didnt see you in Carlisle Mex, part time son

If the takeover goes through i think it will be ling

I have it on good authority, well, Whits' alcohol fuelled authority, that Mex only went yesterday for the offer of a free Bovril.

Part timer  :D
