Stop being "defamatory" against me. Wahhhh.

I would have thought the clubs lawyers have "more pressing matters" to deal with, like the first team, than raising law suits against newspapers? PS: try and learn what "defamatory" means.

Which brings me back to my original question...what do you want the head of ticketing and hospitality at SMS to do about the "pressing issues" of the first team? Or is it okay for them to carry on with her job?

Brilliant.

I've had some pi ss weak comebacks in my time on here. But, really, hats off for that one.

I am? The ticketing manager will have responsibility for CRM. Do you want her to take the rest of the summer off and only start work once the transfer window is shut? Or, perchance, can she just carry on doing her effing job?

Do you think there is any Saints fan currently breathing oxygen that values the Customer Relationship/Retention system over the players in the team and the manager? And you do realise development of one in no way prevents development of the other?

You want the Ticketing and Hospitality Manager to sort out the manager and the first team? Are you mental?

The club had decided to dispense with the incumbent manager in those cases, of course.

That's nice.

Good god.

Well done on picking out a small client. They have lots of huge clients. What's your point?

Strawlock playing another blinder, then.

A wise move on the club's part.

He's a handful, that Parkin. Stick it right up Johnny Premier League Foreigner. Get him in.

Being that you said you "so hope we go out in the group stage" surely chucking in an apparently unfocused Lallana into the team is a perfect little hand grenade to ensure that happens?

Interesting stuff. My faith in the Leibherrs to do right by us remains in place. Hope their reticence on the next manager suggests an imminent appointment. I expect it to be the end of this week ideally.

Not sure the football puritans on here will allow us to wade in with big money and steal Danny Ings away from the club that has developed him into a top player. Pretty sure that kind of thing is simply awful and all that is wrong with the modern game and it makes me sick and what's the point and they are all self centred ***** and disloyal scum and Burnley should show some balls and put the shutters up and I'm disgusted and I wa nk myself to tears every night and kill me kill me kill me now.

What are you going on about? It's pretty obvious what "move on" means, it is painful reading your tortured analysis. And far from being unhelpful, Blackmore ' s tweets are a pretty decent indicator of what is happening at SMS. Probably not all of it but a decent bet. Lallana wants to go, and it is highly likely he will. Pleased that its looking like we'll have him as a Saints player for the WC, though.

Lallana handing in a transfer request changes the game slightly. I'd prefer we took 26m early than drag it out all through August for the hope of another million.

Fair enough. We're forcing him to say that, and that's all we can do. Now just get as much as we can, which won't be much more than the 25 mil on the table.

Moyes would be amazing but really can't see it. I would think he would want a bit more time off than this.

This must be a pi ss take, although a bit too close to reality to be actually funny. A bit like a Rory Bremner sketch.

The sweet taste of the corporate takeover, although owned by Molson/Coors for a while.
