We seem to have the ninth highest wage bill in the league according to that. A truly wonderful end to a simply delicious season.

So you're saying the security services should spend as much time planning for a situation with a 5000-1 likelihood as much as they do for a, say, 10-1 likelihood. You think that is sensible?

We will start building a new hospital every single week and still have enough free cash left over to build a new secondary school every week too. All this free money will be brilliant.

I think we'd see some squealing on here if the global TV revenue really was distributed fairly to the clubs people actually want to watch.

So you don't think anyone featured in this thread - Les Reed, SFC - are "ignoring their customers the whole time" but felt compelled to issue that advice anyway. Insightful stuff, and here's me thinking that post was utterly pointless. Anyway, it's nice to see you not being racist and homophobic on here.

The only thing dodgy about those stories is the idea that he was ever going to Everton.

Bizarre. Who are you talking to or about in this post? Who is advocating (look it up) ignoring their customers the whole time? Or, more succinctly, what are you going on about?

What on earth are you going on about now??

Not sure what's not fair about it. People want to watch some clubs more than others. At least we were on more than Norwich.

He didnt criticise us for not spending big. He just said he had no sympathy and that we didn't have to sell. The quotes are very easy to find online. His quotes about us have been shoved back down his throat already - he got sacked and we finished above what was his team this season. We've won. It's over. He's now the manager of Celtic, a team that will definitely have to sell when the likes of us come calling. There's plenty to laugh at without making things up.

Who is "ignoring their customers the whole time"? It's certainly not regular SFC interview participant Les Reed, who appears on YouTube more than Zoella, so who are you referring to?

This has the makings of an epic thread. It's like the "follow the guord/follow the shoe" scene from Life Of Brian.

Who is advocating that, then?

Stop ruining it.

The three managers bit was brilliant though. Les, you minx.

Would have preferred that didn't happen. Better to say nothing until it's done. Almost pandering to the loons on this forum there, Leslie.

His quote was about us selling players, not about who we replaced them with.

I have never said I don't do that. It's only about the twelfth time I've tried to explain that to you, but you are an imbecile, so I guess not surprising.

So when Mark Chapman on Radio 5 was talking about comparing Sevilla to Southampton what he was actually thinking about was the time we sold Richard Hall to West Ham and had Mickey Evans up front? Right you are then.

Who are all of these managers of ours that have been "*#*#ed off" and left then? Must be one hell of a list. It's British Summer Time, and it's dinlow season.

They have never had a referendum to stay or leave. I'm glad you've picked Norway as one of your model countries as they are pretty much the direct opposite of the things you want - higher immigration than us, part of the Schengen area, pay into the EU and swallow EU legislation with no say at all. I was surprised as you to see that Norway aren't building a brand new hospital every single day like we'll be able to do when we get our £350m a day back to spend on whatever our heart desires.

I don't remember him being scathing about our policy of promoting youth. His famous quote was basically about us selling off multiple players during that golden summer of meltdown. Not really sure how anything he's said there is particularly hypocritical. He's taken at least two steps back into a league and a club that are skint, so bigging up the virtues of promoting from within is basically his only option.

I find it highly unlikely that VVD and Forster have signed new, incredibly long contract extensions for less than we were paying Gaston Ramirez.

Quite right. Entirely possible they could be talking about a "new stadium curse" come November. WHU are as capable of finishing 16th as finishing 6th, just like plenty of other clubs. Like us. Let's not crown them the great new megaclub just yet.
