Selling your best players is not a sign of being terribly run, it can be quite the opposite and a sign you are doing things right. If we sign a player who has the potential to be good enough for a bigger club that shouldn't be a stick to hit the club with. It is a sign that in that case the recruitment process worked well. We will never hold on to players who turn out to be good enough for the 'big 6', it is unrealistic to think we can compete financially with them. Even Leicester who are doing extremely well sell their top players.

The key difference you continue to ignore is for over a year Saints were superb under Hasenhuttl. At no point under Puel, Pellegrino or Hughes did they have Saints playing that well for a sustained period of time.

He frequently changes it towards the end of games when losing, those changes just aren't working. Today for example we switched from 4222 to 433 for most of the final third of the game.

I want it to work out with Hasenhuttl, but it is becoming harder to defend him with each performance at the moment. If the worst happened, I wouldn't mind Saints making a move for Howe. It would split the fanbase, but I think it would be a good match.

Not really as it requires more than Fulham getting 39 points for 39 points to be the cut off.

We won't need 39 points.

He did change the system today, it did not work but he did change it. When Redmond and Djenepo came on Saints were playing a 433 system. Adams upfront on his own, with Redmond and Djenepo wide. Ward-Prowse sitting deep with Armstrong and Diallo central.

Ok, even if that bit is 'nonsense'. What about the rest of my reply and the answer to the two questions I asked.

What a shame. He was doing such a great job for us...!

What does that achieve? Losing out on a transfer fee, an unmotivated player for a season and future potential players thinking they'll also be put in same situation. So where is the upside that outweighs that?

Hardball doesn't work when players only have a year left of contract. Either we sell cheap or keep an unmotivated player for a year and he leaves for nothing.

Levy isn't doing anything wrong. It is sensible business to get a player at this point in his contract. For what purpose would Spurs need to 'tap up' Vestergaard? What could they possibly tell him that he wouldn't already know?

Bournemouth also play in mid week, so Saints should be fresher.

How about Man Utd away when Diallo and Romeu were not available to play in central midfield?

What would count as substance?

We spent £35m last summer during the pandemic and that was after the loan was taken out. It didn't stop us spending.

The club announced it on the 8th February... 👼 https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/2021-02-08/southampton-football-club-b-team-coach-lee-skyrme

Can you explain how that is in any way her fault?

There is a skill to being in the right place.

He has been used in both roles. Even in the game last night he played in both roles.

Impossible to take him seriously about football since he picked Ali Dia.
