It's very sweet that you are trying to make out that Saints fans who would quite like us to wear red and white stripes are some kind of vocal minority. Very sweet indeed.

Sales figures aren't the true measure because the purpose of our kit is not just to sell replicas of it. This is not Mattel funding the Masters of The Universe TV cartoon entirely to sell He-Man figures and Castle Greyskull playsets.

Why would anyone think that?

Compared to its our traditional kit. It's hard to believe, I know, but there was a Southampton Football Club before Nicola Cortese arrived.

Don't worry. Mad Frank on here has already told us that only people on this forum won't like it. Saints fans "in the real world" will absolutely love it. This forum is in no way representative of what real Saints fans think.

Why oh why oh why doesn't everyone else capitulate so Saints get their way. Life is so unfair.

Frank is a nutcase and can't seem to separate buying a replica shirt and having an opinion on our kit. Some, like me and many others, are never ever going to buy a replica shirt. Even if I think it looks brilliant. Some people buying a shirt doesn't make it popular. And you can have an opinion on it without any intention of buying the thing. It's our shirt. Not just a piece of clothing for sale.

Welcome to Frank's fantasy land, everyone. For what its worth, I'd say this forum is an excellent representative sample of Saints fans, especially for something like a poll on a kit. If nothing else it is the largest and best sample available. The same sample ran a poll on Cortese stay/go not that long ago. The stay votes were in the 90%s as I remember....obviously not representative at all Frank.

You make stuff up on this forum pretty bloody regularly.

Once you've got the bug of using press briefings tactically in order to get your own way, it's a difficult habit to drop. Isn't it Nicola? And to think of the energy he wasted on that match photographer thing way back when. How things change.

I think it's pretty easy for people forget "I've just signed/great facilities/delighted to be here" rent-a-quotes from players who have just signed. It's not worth remembering. Very sweet that you take it as gospel though.

I don't believe it for a second. He's full of it.

Hope a few Saints fans can get down there to give him a guard of honour while he carries his box of stuff to the car.

"and that is one shiny table."

You're saying what now?

"Just looking around the stadium and the training ground, you can see the club is set up for European football. I'm excited by the chairman's plans"

Newsflash: no players signing for Saints this summer will be doing so because they "buy into Cortese's vision".

We've had metric tonnes of that horsesh*t already on here. Being all red is moving with the times. Stripes is trapped in the past. All red football kit is "progress". Not to mention the utter feckwittery of "this is a masterplan to takeover Aisia".

Yes they can. Really rather easily.

If he joins Cardiff or Hull he's nothing more than a money grabbing mercenary parasite scumbag. Everything that's wrong about the modern game. I hope he joins Saints. It will show he believes in Cortese's vision for the club, and that he is passionate about playing with our homegrown young players. And probably means he's seen the New Forest and fallen in love with it.

My main worry is how this Keynan lad is going to cope with the massive cultural shift from moving from a backward third world country to a modern, developed first world economy. It may be pretty disorientating for him for the first few months.

Not a clue. Carlos Kickaballs the lot of 'em. Sign the lot up.

Imagine away. Aspire away. Pretty much no chance of it happening. Unless we are back in the Championship by then, and skint. Which is possible I suppose.

That is, like, immense. Notice they've used loads of red on the badge for that Twitter account because those cute little Oriental sheep only respond to things that are red red red red red red. Oh, it's the black and silver badge. Funny that.
