What are we gonna do? How does the club build itself up again?
Elton got Watford his mate George Michael?
I'd settle for an oil sheik.
SOS
As an antique could the club apply to the national trust for restoration?
Wotte's done his best but the players went awol at sheffield.

We should never have got rid of the Dell. The Dell was our strength.

Lets hope that you climb to 4th from bottom and at least have an even playing field next year.

Originally posted by MctaytoIt should have been fines for the incompetent directors. The 10 points only hurt football how on earth can you justify point off which were earned on the pitched for the financial mismanagement of Rupert Lowe and co. I have a nice piece of hairy rough sisal rope I'd like to donate to each of the outgoing directors.

Anyway two serious potential buyers have gone into due diligence so they are more they just looking at the books. Could one be George Michael.. he was seen squinting strongly outside St Marys Toilets.. he can't let Elton have all the fun at Watford.
The other buyer? well maybe The Chinese Goverment.. they own USA so why not English Football starting with So'ton FC.

You have Burnley & notts forest to play. Looking at the rest of the picture it strongly looks like starting next season on -10 :'(
I starting to look forward to new owners, lots of changes and a fresh start. -10 points is just a challenge but I wish it had been fines against the directors
One game to go: I hope they do themselves , the fans and our hardest tryer Mark Wotte Proud and thrash Nots Forest.

Think about Luton, what are their fans thinking now.
They are out of the League.
And the good news is you get to play my lot twice next season.
The Orient - there's 6 points for you right away. 😉

Originally posted by MctaytoAgreed. The paying fans and players are punished for the 'crimes' of the directors etc. Why are the directors etc not fined thousands of pounds? It does not make sense.

Sigh! Football used to be cheap and exciting entertainment for the masses. Who remembers those days of 'half-a-crown' at the turnstile?
Note: Half-a-crown = 12.5 p.
