Been to Kenya and the premier league is massive. A good friend of mine is in Kenya right now and works out there. He tells me we'll be the best supported club in East Africa after Arsenal, United and Chelsea. The interest that a Kenyan will be playing in the Premier League is huge. Don't underestimate it. It was front page news.
Unlikely to sell shirts etc. I wonder if the Saints Foundation will be going back out to Kenya again?
If you think Celtic are a small club, you're wrong. If they were in the English leagues with the resources we get, they'd be a top top club. They're just unfortunate that they play in a terrible league.
I'm actually surprised we haven't had a naming rights sponsor for the ground yet. Wouldn't both me so long as its not embarrassing. Everyone will still call it St Mary's

I think you'll find that's a minority on here too but they just shout the loudest. Pompey mentality that if they ram their opinion down everyone's throat enough times, someone might believe it.
I'd say Morgan seems like the natural captain to me. He even does the huddle talking.
Taking the captaincy of Lallana may dent his confidence quite a bit. It seems he was given it on the back of being from the academy.
My personal favourite memory is sitting in a press conference of his and a male reports asked a question regarding Jason Dodd (I think) that could be quite offensive. He replied "if you say that to him he'll rip those pretty blonde highlights of of your head". That reported looked like he wanted the ground to swallow him up.
Wish I could remember the question. There must be a recording of it somewhere.
