toofarnorth Posted 28 July, 2014 Share Posted 28 July, 2014 Why would anyone sign for a club that's just sold 7 of their best players? Well think our tactic must be than we are in a great position to guarantee first team football to any newcomers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint-scooby Posted 28 July, 2014 Share Posted 28 July, 2014 Ok folks please dont shoot me, I have a contact in lets say the PLAYER AGENT world. Almost a done deal for Morgan and JRod (medical for the later is an issue) Word also has it they maybe some more to follow. Blame contracts, wages, and management (not in that order) I was told its almost open season. If the price is right you can go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graffito Posted 28 July, 2014 Share Posted 28 July, 2014 Decent article http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/southampton-board-cannot-blamed-exodus-3926519? Take his point but the Board cannot be absolved of blame so easily. Either it's deliberately and wilfully cutting costs and raising revenue or it's lost any semblance of control. If we want a more level playing field, the Championship's a competitive league. Even that may change with the increased parachute payments.

ThorpG Posted 28 July, 2014 Share Posted 28 July, 2014 What I cannot understand is why bother forking out serious £s for Pelle and Tadic? If we are flogging anyone at any price, it makes no sense. I don't think there is some grand plan / deal / sales type scenario here. I just think we have a board who have no idea what they doing. Amateur night...

ThorpG Posted 28 July, 2014 Share Posted 28 July, 2014 There is no plan. It's a case of reacting to,each individual player transfer request and before you know,it we are where we are. And that is the problem - we are just 'reacting" to events. The Board appears to have no strategy per se, they are merely conducting a bunch of one off transactions. In business terms, each transfer makes sense insofar we are being paid far too much for each player. However, when you put these decisions together, you have just hastened the return back to the Championship. Pathetic management really... I think we all sit and wait for a sale and then it will be luck of the draw whether we get a good owner or a bad one. I hope Koeman sticks around for the ride, but I would imagine he likely won't.

Bearsy Posted 28 July, 2014 Share Posted 28 July, 2014 (edited) I'm starting to think it would be pretty cool if we could sell a whole team: Boruc - might want to go if we sign Forster?

That said, it is going to be tough to keep the goals out when one of your centre halfs is just a stack of pound notes. How the hell are you supposed to have a decent offside trap.

We are being screwed by the owner and not the players who are now looking for lifeboats before we sink to the bottom of the league. I no longer blame the players. I blame the owner and the board. Even a three year old could not have made a bigger mess! Anyone could have managed this better.... I am sad that anyone has the right to do this to the supporters.... I am sad we were lied to throughout this fiasco. No actually, I am angry! Can't see RK staying and I would be surprised if he did. Even if we go out buying other teams cast offs as fast as we can go what sort of ram shackle team will we have..... It's all been said but the owner and board do not deserve the supporters they have and have insulted them. A once in a generation opportunity to really get somewhere thrown away.... It is criminal..... I have never been one for protests but I would certainly join in if there were one. I do not like the owner and board and hope they shuv off. Cortese built this club up and she and her henchmen have smashed it to pieces. I don't care who we bring in, the cynical demolition of this great team is a disgrace.
