You did. Missed it.

I'm amazed no one has mentioned our fabulous all red kit which was specifically designed to attract two or three billion new Chinese fans.

"The current manager" will suffice.

I know. It was tragic all those people jumping off the Itchen Bridge over Adkins. What a waste of life. Well done you for staying so strong. An example to us all.

I think you need to be more pragmatic, TTD. That's what I've learnt from you over the last couple of days. If he goes, who cares? Not me. Just like Dean Hammond all over again.

And we can have no doubt the writer of that article has a clear agenda re Saints. Fact. Hunt him down.

Ohh, I know. I mean look at that headline. So eye-grabbing. So controversial. What the Daily Telegraph is famous for of course. I don't know how they sleep at night.

Just imagine the number of copies they've sold on the back of a Southampton match report. Must run into the hundred thousands.

This might not be our day....

Beat me to it.

I believe he has an ego problem.

Chris Perry? Surman? Utterly irrelevent. But a creative argument. Well done. We outspent nearly every club in Europe this summer as you know. We had a Championship team in League One and outspent most other teams in the Championship, spending nearly four million quid on forwards this time last year, only for them to be replaced by 12m worth of forwards only months later. So, dear, I am not looking at one years spend, but four. And, dear, our spending has not been modest. Not in L1. Not in the Championship. Not now. Engage with that argument. Engage with those facts.

You said we had a choice, we had no such choice. And the choice of "no club" is not true. Simple.

Hello spanners on the internet. Listen up. Matthew Le Tissier will be commenting about matters ascertaining to Southampton Football Club for some time yet. How about at least once a month, every month, for the next thirty years. Now you strange people can hop from foot to foot getting jolly upset about it, grizzle that your opinion is just as jolly well important, whine about how unqualified he is. You can all do that for the next thirty years. Fill yer boots. And you can even squinney and shreik that Matt Le Tissier might say something that might upset the faceless bloke in a suit who haopens to run the club at present. And why not - because thats why we all love football isn't it? To get behind chief executives. We've all got our favourite chief executives, haven't we? They are what make football simply magical. So sure, if Matt puts that at wonderful thing at risk, you people stand up for what you believe in. Grizzle your little hearts out. The rest of us will be still here. Looking on at you. Pointing, and laughing. Pointing and laughing.

I imagine Frankie will be too busy fielding calls from Sky Sports News, BBC Five Live, and the national press to respond on here. His opinion is just as important as Matthew Le Tissier's apparently. Although not as important as Ghandi's. That would be ridiculous.

Are you saying, by any chance, that we should all move on?

Just Venky's in a better suit.

^ This.

Worth saying this is just people bickering on a message board. Far from "doing nobody any good whatsoever" , it is simply of no consequence whatsover. It certainly has no impact on our football team. None. I think you might need to "grow up" if you can't grasp that.

You utter gimp.

Why can't the move on brigade get on with fu cking moving on and stop starting threads telling the rest of us what to do. You want to move on? Fine. Fu ck off and move on then. See ya.

The people saying WHO to Nigel Adkins two and half years ago were few, and they were all fuc king idiots. Adkins was well known to anyone who knew even the rudiments of Championship/L1 football. Saints had played his team. So nice try John Smith but your premise is built on bull sh it.

Of course. I think we are closer to the endgame than some think. This club will be sold at some point in the next five years, possibly the next three. And to that end I remain convinced the Leibherr/Mali/whatever funding tap is off, and Cortese is spending loans and current/future TV revenue chasing his dream. But the end of the dream is not glory for Saints in itself but Cortese flogging "CL ready" club to the Arabs/Chinese/Russians. That's his vision. The Leibherrs are way way back on the back seat now. As long as NC doesn't fu ck it by relegating us, they will leave him to it. So to that end, the Leibherrs don't care about our first team coach.

This is your line of argument now - Adkins deserves the same level of appreciation as Paul Sturrock? Or even better, "all sacked employees". Mick Wadsworth, say. Fuc k me. I know you feel the need to type and type and type and type but maybe you should slow down and reflect on the fact that pretty much every single one of the hundreds of poorly written sentences you contribute on here are absolute guff.
