Not in large numbers they didn't. £20k is only 1,300 fans paying £15. It is a nice gesture, but wasn't anywhere near a significant part of their fanbase.

😁 Is that you making a typo?! Jos Hooiveld

We've been through this before but I'm puzzled how a grown man still doesn't understand what constitutes a lie. What exactly in my post do you think is a lie? It is an opinion, not a claim it is a statement of fact. Are you saying I'm lying and it is not my opinion? 🙄

I'm basing it on player quality, not just form in a small sample of games. If not them as the bottom 4... then who else?

West Brom, Fulham, Sheff Utd and Burnley are all terrible. I'm confident Saints won't be anywhere near a relegation battle in terms of points this season.

He made two mistakes vs one of the best strikers in world football, let's not write him off quite so quickly!

Puzzling why you think my answer that informs him of the league rule isn't an acceptable answer to his question. Had it been anyone else posting it would you have picked them up on it?

Players can't play against parent teams in the Premier League.

Jannik Vestergaard!

He was impressive today.

It is a loan to get 1st team gametime, the alternative is him likely to play 0 league games for us this season. If he does well perhaps he'll get a second chance at Saints. I wouldn't completely write off his Saints future quite yet.

It didn't really, as Saints were already winning the tie before that goal. 😉

Devil's advocate... They just beat the number 1 ranked team in the world! 😉

The failed project planned for the 9 longest serving clubs. If two clubs are joint 8th, that fills up the 9 clubs required.

Saints are joint 8th along with West Ham as we were promoted in the same season.

The criteria is for longest current spell in the Premier League. Saints are joint 8th for that and so they are above Villa and Newcastle.

What issues do you have with it? If Saints were to be part of it, as a Premier League club they would likely be the figurehead club of a group.

No they wouldn't. The current system allows Saints to have a wage bill and transfer budget that blows many large European teams out of the water for transfers. Remove the big 6 from the PL and Saints would see a huge drop in wage bill and budget.

It would be a financial disaster for Saints if the 'big 6' left. The income drop would be huge.

A glimpse at some of the new features...

You haven't factored in that the plan in the proposal sees only 2 clubs guaranteed to be relegated. The team 3rd bottom in the Premier League would face the 3rd, 4th & 5th placed Championship teams in a playoff, so if they win they stay up.
