Wouldn't he sign a new Saints contract if that was true?

He is not 'crocked'. He played in 8 games after his return in April/May.

Under 1,000 season tickets left for 2025/26. With more sold than in the 2023/24 season. Men's Season Tickets: fewer than 1,000 left | Southampton FC Official Site

To be fair to Ankersen, he has got some good outgoing prices. £58m for Lavia for example. He messed up the incomings!

Dragan Solak said in his interview with the Echo/BBC that Rasmus Ankerson is dealing with outgoing players. Spors is overseeing incomings.

He was given freedom of the city... https://share.google/I2Jh1leDl6mUpZt0k

Do we not even go for a drink first?

What analogy can we use for buying them for a combined £40m?

Being in the Championship is the reason, we won't be a 'basket case'.

Today...

They'd already given that job permanently to Calum Mcfarlane when Simon Rusk started working with the 1st team.

Not true. It doesn't add money itself. It raises the club profile, which makes them attractive to sponsors. According to the minutes from the club’s Fan Advisory Board meeting: “Shaun Harvey confirmed the club does not gain any direct financial benefit from the series. What the club does receive is a marketing platform to increase the value of all our sponsorship investors and greater exposure of the club which is driving retail sales.”

They still will have a smaller income than quite a few Championship clubs.

On what is that claim based?

No, it has downward-cascading bubbles 🍻 😉

This suggests otherwise...

Player quality will still be significantly higher compared to Pompey.

Have you taken into account... we have a significantly better squad of players than them?
