If Everton are our benchmark, we've slipped behind them quite a bit. They have spent huge sums of money on superior players to what they already have (probably spending the ££££ they will get for Barkley and Lukaku) A few years ago, the top four was nailed on, just depended on what order. Now we are approaching a situation where the top 7 could be nailed on. Any other team gets investment, the starts spending the huge sums of money available, they will then make it a top 8...etc. The rest of the teams will be in a relegation scrap, do well in your relegation scrap, and you may end up 10th....do badly, and you're down.

That article is a rehash of the artlices they published when we appointed both Koemann and Puel. In fact, every time we appoint a new manager, or player....that report comes out. Almost word for word.

For your next trick, are you going to enlighten us as to why we are called the Saints, as none of us know. Cheers

Just seen Ross in Texaco garage, filling up his brand new Merc. Imagine the cash he is on for basically playing Football Manager! He gave me the look to say "I know, that you know, that I know...." and made a quick exit before I asked him how the Ronaldo meetings were going

Yeah, pretty much....selling club felt the fee we offered represented good business.

Some weird ctrl c ctrl v ****e going on there...!!!

This thread will come back and be hilarious in a year or 2.....but for completely the opposite reasons you give. Not sure he will be a massive sale for the club, when you can probably get someone a lot better (for half the price) from Europe. There is a reason why we were able to get him for 10m, and there is a reason why he wont be sold for much more than 15 - 20m...In a couple of seasons time, when hes demonstrated that circa 7 goals a season is his level. All gong and no dinner. That said, he would make a good impact sub, last 10 mins or so, against tired legs. this thread will come back and be hilarious in a year or 2this thread will come back and be hilarious in a year or 2

Redmond is just another... Shaun Wright-Phillips, Aaron Lennon, Theo Walcott, Andros Townsend, Wayne Routledge...etc....etc Speed is their only skill.

Sell Redmond, sign James Rodriguez and give him 16m in wages.

I cant see us making any decisions until we sort out who is making the decisions!

Yeah, its called "marriage"

This

This. Also, this is football, everyone stitches everyone up....its not right, but its part of the business. Players leave when they have kissed the badge a week before, managers leave if they get offered a better job, players gets dropped as soon as we get to the prem, fans boo if they dont like a player etc. Its not great, but dont assume everyone acts like and angel apart from us. For the record, I want Puel out and think Les has far too much control at SFC than his CV should allow.

If you mean fans that have attended the Dell, then if you were say 6 in 2001, you would be only 22 now....

All this talk of rain...its been 27 degrees and sunny here all day!

We had a home game at SMS against Palace called off due to rain, cant remember if it was league or cup.

Although I find his interviews etc terrible, and the football he dishes up is not the way I like to see football player.....I would only get rid of him this summer, if he has lost the dressing room. If the existing players are happy to play for him, and new recruits are happy to come here and play for him...then crack on. If not, get rid.

Just checking, in this "war or terror" ( I assume thats the excuse we are still using to being involved) - are we the goodies or the baddies? If we are the goodies, we shouldn't be killing wounded soldiers, then trying to cover it up.

Explains a lot !!! [h=1]http://www.itv.com/news/2017-05-09/scientists-say-stripes-may-cause-headaches/[/h]

Yet he had the presence of mind to know straight away that he had broken the Geneva convention, and to tell his fellow soldiers that it doesn't go any further. Also, how can we expect enemy combatants to observe the Geneva convention, when we don't....

Hi, Can anyone recommend and decent tow bar fitter in the Southampton area. Can see that there are quite a few advertised online, just wanted to know if anyone has any recommendations. I have a Nissan Note E11 with rear parking sensors. Cheers Matt

Fair pay to you sir, I doubt Ill still be alive at 92, let alone still attending games! Wonder how old our oldest regular attendee is? Anyone here beat 92?

If you want to “achieve anything” when “some of the richest clubs in world football” are your competition….you need cash.

There are a lot of wild assumptions on this tread mate, not just me. Some of the Daily Mail readers on here are convinced it's a bad thing "based on a hunch". None of us know anything, so let's trust Kats judgement and not be negative about it just because it's Chinese.

Yeah, lets leave the club in the hands of someone who thinks they dont have enough money to take the club any further forward.
