Will the youngsters stay?

Switch my argument?
Given that my argument has resoundingly been proved bang on the money, that would be a bit odd.

Ok so your argument was "bang on the money" we therefore needed to sell... So why are you so opposed to selling our talent for mega profit

Swiss, I admire your unswerving and unquestioning loyalty but in the face of all the available evidence I am beginning to wonder if you are slightly bonkers.

Ahh so because I question you I am showing unswerving and unquestioning loyalty???

Whilst the bonkers comment goes over my head, I'll bring us back online. So which of the two rhetorics is Lenners sticking with this time:

a) We're skint and we're a selling club, we have to sell all our talent to make the books balance
b) We're a money grabbing club who should be keeping our best talent regardless. Even if this means running the club into the ground.

Swiss, all the questions have been answered, all the debates and arguments won.
Sadly, this has also meant the inevitable relegation to League One.
Like I said, I'm impressed by your unswerving and, on this board, pretty much unparalleled loyalty.
It does make you seem slightly bonkers, in a lovable way, though.

I'm sure theres a compliment in there somewhere

Sadly Lenners you're not answering the question. You said that you saw all this coming a long time ago - that also includes financial struggles, but you stand by this rhetoric that we shouldn't sell players like Naughton and Walker.

I for one want us to keep all our talent, but if selling them means keeping the club afloat, then reluctantly, we have no option.

Of course this current dig at the board could be a little bit of sour grapes that you haven't renewed at a decent price (frozen for 2 seasons) when it was a simple as logging on to your account on the Online ticketing section of the SUFC Site and you have been surprised that "nearly 10,000" have done, so basically you've missed out and you just want to poke the club again by bringing up the Kyle's sales and state things like the club is threatening fans into buying.

In reality, over the last few days, you have tried your best to scaremonger others by stating that the club must be having financial troubles because they didn't offer you an ST at 20p for the next 14 years.

Hardly an exclusive for Len that though is it?

I think what most of us who didn't see the great deal that the Double Kyle sale was (get's better by the day doesn't it?) were gobsmacked that it enabled us to offer long term deals to ageing journeymen (Morgan, Monty, Cresswell, Quinn, Henderson) whilst also spunking huge amounts of coin on a season and a half of The Noz.

You can defend the sale all you want, and as it has always been the case we weren't THAT surprised, but the proof of the pudding on the field of play (which is where most of us really care to see it) has been nothing short of disasterous.

Was I defending their sale? If so let me know where
