CB Fry

We're definitely signing him.

Clasie, it's Clasie now that we've signed you Clasie, at least you're not wearing blue Someday, you'll set up goal for our Pelle It's Clasie we're buying And Clasie is flying And we're Clasie for loving you

You don't half post some nonsense.

I think it's always worth saluting those who helped lay the foundations for our future success, like Nigel Adkins.

In a 34 game league season over the last five seasons, Clasie has 34, 33, 33, 32 and 31 appearances. Just call him sick note.

Barely literate ham-fisted troll drivel: Rational debate:

Is it Class-y or Clay-sie? Asking for a friend.

Odd?

Welcome Jordy. Bigger in real life than you'd think.

Leave MLG alone. At the end of the day he brings useful info to the forum and is a regular church goer, so all in all a good guy.

Of course he should get some credit, he was signed on Lowe's watch on the recommendation of someone Lowe brought to the club. Morgan went on his own journey but a major part of it was his joining Saints.

If someone doused all the seats in petrol and set fire to it, the stadium would burn down or at least be significantly fire damaged. That's true too but bears zero relevance whatsoever to what happened to us in our administration. A lecture about "scrap value" and liquidation I am sure is riveting but bears no resemblance whatsoever to what happened to us. As usual Whitey talks sh it, I call him out and then he resorts to ever more tenuous routes to avoid admitting he's wrong, usually culminating in a pointless link to a website. Has happened before and it will again.

This is what he wrote: The assets of the club were not, repeat not, sold or even offered for "scrap". And the subsequent price agreed to lift us out of admin was far from "scrap value". So nonsense. The above bears no resemblance whatsoever with what happened to Southampton throughout the entire duration of our administration. None whatsoever. So nonsense again. What exactly have I misinterpreted?

I love it when you try and explain something to me that I understand and you patently and pitifully don't understand. We were in administration, not liquidation. Administration. Not. Liquidation. If you still believe our administrators were trying to sell elements of the company for "scrap" before the Leibherrs turned up, then fine. Just be a poppet and show me any quotes or reports from anyone involved in our administration process that demonstrates that was the case. If you can't, try and find in yourself to admit you got it wrong, again.

The Leibherrs didn't buy scrap then, did they? If I remember rightly they purchased a football stadium, club and training ground with the intention of carrying on with their previous purpose, that of being a football stadium, club and training ground. Scrap means something different. But you're awfully clever so you knew that, didn't you?

When did we go through liquidation?

You're wrong about pretty much everything you express an opinion on, so at least you're consistent here. Clearly what the Leibherrs bought wasn't "scrap" and they didn't pay "scrap value" either. Presumably you slept through that too. Or maybe you just ain't that attentive.

That was a pretty long coma you were in around 2006 and 2007. Must have been tough for your family.

The system that took us to eighth and into Europe? That system? Sorry, your scenario is just driven by "Lowe is the bogeyman" prejudice. Nothing in his behaviours or results suggest the doom scenario you've painted there. If he had stayed at worst he would have run us, as ever, within our means. It may have meant a trip to L1 like Norwich, Forest, Leicester, Leeds but equally could have meant a return to the Premier League like the likes of Watford, Blackpool, Burnley managed with smaller budgets than Whiskey George had. With a decent hit rate of perfectly competent managerial appointments - Strachan, Hoddle, Jones and (at the time a proven Championship pedigree) Burley, I would suggest that the balance of probability, we would have stabilised into mid table financially stable Championship mediocrity like, say, Derby County with a bit of play off/relegation flirting thrown in. Not quite the dreamland of today but more likely than your silly scenario.

"Give everyone five year contracts" is this years "why don't we do our transfer business early". Simple solutions for a simple world.

So a Hispanic Jim Magilton then.

Thanks for providing the dictionary definition of "barely literate ham-fisted troll drivel" in one handy post.

It's about 3,000 away fans. Cup games are more but then ST don't count then.

I am also hearing it will be announced at quarter past eight tonight. Well excited.

Winner. Shlong it is.
