Cortese would have been nothing without Liebherr cash and that is a FACT

The old European Cup competition was for every winner of every country's league - why was it extended? It will kill club football for 98% of the teams playing in pro football and simply cannot be a good thing.

Gawd you are thick. And whose money would he be using?

To idle the time away a bit of name dropping, but it proves he cares! Things must be bad when you get a call from Lawrie McMenemy in Florida asking what the hell is going on at St Marys. I know he is an old rogue but I can’t help thinking all this nonsense would not have happened on his watch.

rather wash my hands of football in general

Koeman's tweet this morning of an empty training ground says he either has a sense of humour or he is hacked off, let's hope it is the former.

Yes he is as reliable source as any plus he is a fan. This story is also now independently being reported by others, I am sure it has legs and comes as no surprise to me.

I have always wondered why Saints fans (and fans from other teams not in the CL) support English clubs when they play in the Champions League. Their success just boosts their spending power and we all know what happens next. For me I hope Liverhampton, Arsenal, Citeh and Chelski all get knocked out at the first hurdle and maybe then the Prem can be conducted on a slightly more level playing field. The CL is killing the future for clubs like Saints and does not deserve our support.

I must admit this fits in with quite a lot of what I have been told. I know only a few months ago MoPo and his team intended to stay, one of his assistants family were making plans to attend uni here etc etc. I don't think anyone at SFC understands how a club is run in football terms and after losing confidence the players want out. I think the blame must lie with the Board and the person in charge.

#Training anyone seen Koeman's sarcastic tweet this morning?

Not sure KD is really up to speed on the "politics" of what has happened in the last 6 months.

Firstly he is a lot more than a second choice right back and well you know it, plus the fee is £11m with £4m add ons. Crap business

He commands a lot of respect and I for one happen to think he is speaking more honestly than the club who, don't forget, told us Chambers and Lovren were missing last Friday due to illness

Signed a 4 year deal according to good Twitter sources. Another one bites the dust. Expect Morgan to be the next one out. I don't care how much money in the bank we have we are gonna struggle big time now. No fault of Koeman but Reed has hardly put a foot right

Nick talks the talk but at present is not walking the walk. Hot Air.

Question nos 2 is a valid one

Well if Nick won't back up his words with a bet is there anyone else of the positive variety who wants to take my £50 bet on that we will finish in the bottom half?

Note you are not prepared to back up your views with my offer of a wager

I bet you £50 that we don't finish in the top half of the table Nick

Whatever her intentions she has every right and we have none. I pointed this out when we were bought by Marcus Liebherr but was derided for so doing.

Do you know people might take your opinions a bit more seriously if they excluded unpleasant personal references to people not in a position to answer back. I met you once and seem to remember you weren't exactly a well rounded attractive physical specimen yourself.

Now being reported the fee for Chambers is £11m + £4m add ons. That is scandalously low for a player I think will be another Bale. I have been vocal in my support for the new board but Chambers leaving has seriously dented my confidence in their integrity and ability.

Morgan will go, I'll wager my house on it
