Hmmmm, how very Luton.

It's somewhere in the middle. Koeman's managerial mettle is key, he needs to rebuild and restablish us as a footballing entity with a new team of players. He will need to sign them, gell them and drill them in a tiny time frame. This will be a far from dull event, Survival is the aim, it is surely possible.

Then let it be!

Rumours that Feyenoord have accepted our bid for Pelle. Only rumours via Southampton FC News on Facebook so not reliable, but out there either way,

Would be as a replacement. And a very, very good one at that.

Didn't he have a spell out while that was treated and rectified?

Quite.

Cody Cropper has been called up by the USA senior squad. No caps yet however.

Why so confrontational? Of course there are wage discrepancies, but they are managed. It can be a slippery slope to go to far with it.

My point being that QPR are an example of how wage discrepancy can cause massive squad disharmony and be entirely counter productive. There was a massive split between the 'stars' they sought to employ and the existing less glamourous names such as Clint Hill. It played a direct role in their relegation back in 2013.

I would think the fans of QPR have an opinion on that.

I would expect it to be shown on tuesday, just after the contractual obligations to Aap3 expire.

Wow. Issues, she has them.

It's for £250 of marketting services with Your Move (I defected to Connells.) This may well just be a lesson to learn, it will not bankrupt me. Nonetheless..... Annoying.

I'm looking for advice here. After a long a protracted sale, I pulled out of a transaction after the purchaser started making unreasonable demands. Before doing this though (and after checking that I was well outside of a period of exclusivity with that agent) I put my property up for sale with a competitor and quickly found another buyer. Things are finally concluding but I have now received an invoice from the prior agent for "Additional marketing services." I had signed on to an additional marketing pack with the previous agent but was informed that I would only be liable to pay the full amount on completion of sale. (This could be a grey area..... They could argue that it was on completion of sale, regardless of whether it was with them or not?) Has anyone had this before? I do not believe that I am contractually obliged to pay them anything, so am tempted to ignore it. Has anyone had any similar experiences or insight to share?

A 36m bid has been rejected apparently. Regardless of money the rest of the footballing world has them over a barrel. The curse of being high profile is that clubs know they can pay..... without the carrot of Champions League football their bargaining position is weakened. A £250m pound war chest widely reported, and they are trying to pay 30m in stages!? They're having a laugh. Many plastic Mancs laughed at Manchester City when they started spending stupid money on players to break into the top four. Well, now that is exactly the position they find themselves in now. The only problem is that their resources are nowhere near the levels of the middle eastern benefactors.

Seems to be opinion based on the media.

They know what they like.

As always, it's the extremes that are the evil.

A more superior Sharapova.

Well, as indicated above i'm not the only one. I do not support a kit, I support my team, my club. Part of that club's identity however is it's kit. It has been changed to something different that I do not accept or like. Time hasn't changed that.... I want my team to play in the traditional colours I associate them with. The colours that I have nailed to the mast for the last two decades. As for a new identity? No, merely corrupted. It's the same badge, same stadium, same city in the part of the country I call home and same fan base.... utterly unrepresentative shirt. Success and an all red kit are not, and never have needed to be mutually exclusive. It is a massive shame that our most successful league season in the modern era will be associated with a kit that is no representation of our club's proud tradition and historic identity.

I gave an honest opinion and you are being sensationalist and derogatory. To answer the more legitimate questions though: I enjoyed the Sash kit, it was a nice throwback to our far history. I grew bored of the Sash (a shirt I still wear casually) and wanted the stripes back that season by around mid-October. I do not remember the mid 80's kits as I was only 2 years old at the time, however I do not like them. At least they maintained the black shorts and white socks from our more traditional kit patterns though. I have enjoyed all of our last four seasons, there was however no reason why our identity had to be in any way compromised to achieve what we have.

Would make sense. Equally someone on here posted to expect something akin to the 1995 home shirt, so, we'll see.

Quite. And as for playing poorly and losing in this tournament. At least we played better then the last two. That was my only expectation, we were clearly never going to win it.
