Can only assume this is a clash between Cortese wanting to push on at a faster rate next year than the rate at which the Liebherrs are prepared to release funds from Markus' trust

FFS. Oh well, was good while it lasted...

Suggests the opposite IMO

@NabilHassan79: Good line from my colleague @BenSmithBBC: 'Nicola Cortese is considering his position as #saintsfc chairman'. Story on BBC to follow...

Maybe... (It's "Markus" btw )

Not sure about that, I just find it mildly amusing that a professional local journalist tweets that he's all excited about a recent premier league team scraping the bottom of the football league barrel.

@pn_neil_allen: Going to be another busy week on the signing front for #Pompey by sound of it. New faces and familiar faces! All rather exciting.

Pochettino used the word "problem" to explain why they get linked to so many players. So, not a problem in itself, just a "problem" in that our scouting activity will inevitably generate our fair share of rumours.

Damn.... I'd forgotten I also had c.£8k coming to me if Saints were relegated. I feel weirdly happy!

Guaranteed at least a dozen bites there I reckon ART....

Its disappointing that we didn't put things to bed a few games earlier but I wouldn't describe it as a "poor" end to the season. We effectively gave the other sides a 10 game head-start and can still finish in the top half (if we win and a few results go our way next week).

"There will be an earthquake measuring 8.9 on the Richter scale in Southampton tomorrow." Opinion or a slight loss of sanity?

4th

BBC Final Score reporter: "Southampton the much more composed team and deserved at least a point"

We gave the rest of the league a 10 game head start and are still within a chance of finishing in the top half. Not a bad return from our first season back in the Premier League

Safe....and a win next week could see us finishing 10th

Safe!!!
