Relationship between club and Ron perhaps not as positive as the one between fans and Ron. Ron frustrated to some degree by financial constraints he is asked to work under at Saints. Ron feels he has achieved the most he can at Saints in such conditions and so the way in which his time at saints is perceived by wider footballing world can only plateau or, more likely, decrease. Ron gets a little offended by what he sees as a derisory pay increase offered to him by Saints given his opinion of how good a job he has done. ron would like to move to a big club ie a top four or Cl team but there are no offers forthcoming, leaving him with a straight choice between saints and Everton. saints not keen on Ron running contract down but also not willing to compete financially with Everton's offer for Ron. wider factors surrounding Everton job, including big payday but also chance to improve club with massive financial backing are what attracts Ron to Everton. ron feels that doing a job at Everton for a couple of seasons, on top of his successful spell at Southampton will cement his chances of that big job he really desires. and that's how it happened.

Why don't you stop trolling him and put him on ignore then? At least put the silly, playground rivalry aside and play the post instead of the man. The OP is a valid one with explanation to justify the guy's opinion.

Who?

Is that what he told you?

Why on earth are they charging £140 for a frame? What am I missing?

I remember him being generally dismissed by some on here as a nasty piece of work and not for us whilst he was at Swindon. Some even claimed he had a dislike for us and took special pleasure in scoring against us. How times change.

This.

£10.4m in wages, £4m in transfer fee plus agents fee plus signing on fee doesn't come to much less than £15m. He'll be getting an appearance bonus, a goal bonus and so on as well.

Looking at Gold's tweet, it's not even clear that he is intentionally implying he knows something about how much Saints are paying Austin. It could just be that he's asking West Ham fans to consider wages as well as transfer fee before saying whether a particular deal is a bargain.

Bit odd how we appointed Koeman then seeing as his football has been nothing like this.

Wow ... Such insight without even going to the game. Shame you're just spouting ****e as usual.

Leaving early I have no problem with. Leaving your row, going on to the steps in between blocks and then standing there throughout added on time makes you a massive ****.

priority gassing more like.

Fair play to him. As others have said, this paints him as a much more impressive sort of character than your average perm league footballer. whats more concerning is ignorance and general disrespect for southampton's history displayed by some of the replies in this thread. Perhaps some people should follow Oriel's example and do a bit of research about their home town before dismissing things as just a church or, indeed, ****e. Wipedia is a start ... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holyrood_Church

There was a Bournemouth fan next to us in the Northam. We noticed after the first goal so we jumped on him and forced him to celebrate the second. He left early.

Indeed.

Saw some **** go under a horse. That's about it. A lot of Bournemouth spazzers around.

We are on a journey. We are the Saints. It's all about the people and the strategy.

Manchester Grammar School isn't a grammar school. It's an independent school.

Fine if he wants to go but i just wish we would give him a chance before giving up on him.

He'll undoubtedly go and see them more regularly than you see Saints.

To be fair, there are people on here who had written him off before he got injured.

Did you watch the game? i ask because Leicester clearly started the second half as the stronger team and bossed more and more as the half wore on. Whilst we were still two nil up when the first subs were made, I can't really believe that people would have thought the win was safe. There probably were subs more suited to the passage of okay that could have been made. we needed to cope better with Leicester's pressing and find a way to retain possession of the ball a bit more. how they found the ability to run at and sort of through us on occasions is beyond me

Top trolling. Good effort. How is the d5803?
