We can blow them out of the water for wage offers...
Celtic wage bill 2016/17 = £52m
Southampton wage bill 2016/17 = £112m
If relegated parachute payments and sponsorship deals will still allow for a big wage budget.

It is possible for Saints to stay up with only 2 more points...
Swansea lose to Bournemouth
Swansea draw with Saints
Swansea lose to Stoke
Saints draw with Everton
Saints draw with Swansea
Saints lose to Man City
Stoke lose to Palace
Stoke beat Swansea
West Brom fail to beat both Spurs and Palace
Which would see Saints stay up, bar a big swing in goal difference...
17th Saints 34 points
.......
18th Swansea 34 points
19th Stoke 33 points
It is a rule every player in Spain has to have a release clause fee in their contract. Just because Sisto's is £36m it doesn't mean you couldn't sign him for less than that.
28th April 2018 - St Portsmouth Day
A movable feast like Easter, that usually falls in March, April or May. It is the day it became mathematically impossible for Southampton to play Portsmouth in a league game until August 2019 at the earliest.
Why is it a **** up? Bertrand is better than Targett. If Targett hadn't gone on loan it is unlikely he'd have played a minute thus far for Saints in the league. McQueen is fine to be the back up for the rest of the season.
i) After QPR's 2013 relegation they sold... 2 first team players (Samba & Mackie)
ii) After QPR's 2015 relegation they sold... 2 first team players (McCarthy & Austin)
Everyone else that left did so because it was the end of their contract, free transfer or retired.
If Gabbiadini had done something wrong then Carrillo would be on the bench. No mention of Carrillo being ill or injured, so appears Gabbiadini preferred over him.
Why Championship experience for manager and players?
A game is between two clubs, the league is just a label for the game it has no baring on the outcome. If Saints are relegated and have a team and manager next season that has only ever previously been in the top flight why is that a bad thing?
