What about legal action against the Football League from all the other Championship clubs ****ed off that they cut their cloth to meet FFP and QPR are let off?

Saints and Newcastle both reveal record profits... BBC ignores Saints £33.4m profit in headline and focus on the Liebherr loan, but use Newcastle's £18.7m profit as headline and focus of article.

How are you defining "utter ****e"? Its relative to the level you what him for. Stekelenburg played 191 times for Ajax, 48 times for AS Roma and has 54 Dutch caps (including playing in a World Cup final) so he clearly has a decent pedigree. If we were linked to him in League One or the Championship would you call him "utter ****e"? If we were to sign him in the summer he'd be a stop gap until Forster recovered and then Forster's back-up.

Can anyone explain why? It is now significantly larger in scale than the original plans and includes many things the £15m project didn't include. Compared to the original £15m plan; the £38m plan has more buildings on the site, a bigger pavilion building and also they have expanded the site to the south into farmers fields with more pitches.

No, the recently announced new TV deal is for these seasons... 2016/17 2017/18 2018/19

In Muppet Show etiquette? I rarely venture into this place, its like going into Wonderland.

Well this didn't have the desired effect.

So what? It did exist though and whilst it existed I took him off ignore and read the thread and didn't put him back on ignore as he was banned.

I just explained that I was intrigued as to why you were banned. The only way I could see the posts which led to your banning was to take you off ignore.

Truce Turkish...? [video=youtube;Ww4v2cP-MDo]

I took you off ignore to see why you were banned. How does that make me a liar?

Even if Kelvin Davis were to be injured, we still have... - Paulo Gazzaniga is 23 years old - Cody Cropper is 22 years old - Will Britt is 20 years old - Chris Johns is 19 years old The Premier League would probably tell us to use them, they aren't kids anymore.

There is no rule on Premier League minimum capacity. To meet the Premier League standards it is largely about things like media provision and given the money they'd get they could sort it out over the summer. There is no need for a ground share and I struggle to see why Saints would agree to it in any case. I doubt Hampshire's police force would like to deal with 20,000 Cherries fans in Southampton 19+ times in 2015/16.

We can't. Yes it is and I think its extremely unlikely he'll sign a new one as he'd end up as second fiddle to Forster on his return.

Why are you asking me that?

Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC 2m2 minutes ago We can confirm that @FraserForster underwent successful surgery this afternoon after damaging his left patellar tendon. #saintsfc 6 retweets4 favoritesReply Retweet6 Favorite4 More Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC 1m1 minute ago Forster will be ruled out for the rest of the season. A long-term prediction of when he will return will be made in due course. #saintsfc

I hope you aren't being serious, but I have a feeling you are. Cech would require huge wages. Plus as Forster may only miss the end of this season and the beginning of next we won't be signing a first choice keeper, because when Forster returns he'll be number one again.

So if Saints planned to put another 8,000 tier on the Kingland to take it unto roughly 40k, you'd only do it if we had a 22,000 to 25,000 waiting list for season tickets?

His contract expires in the summer, if Forster is due to only miss the very start of 2015/16 then I doubt Boruc will sign a new deal to cover for Forster briefly and then play second fiddle.

Does Saints being likely to finish in their highest ever Premier League finish not make you think you might be wrong in some of those evaluations...?

If improving the England team is the main motivation (which for the FA's point of view it is, if not the Premier League's) then this is flawed in some respects as the "home grown" quote of 8 (rising to 12 in 2020) and "club trained" quota of 2 don't have to be English.

If you don't have two over 21 players who are club trained you simply leave space in your 25 man squad and the youth players effectively fill the club trained spot. If you don't have 2 over 21 year old club trained players then you could only register 23 players who are over 21 and then effectively the likes of Ward-Prowse, Reed, Targett etc etc fill in the gap and become the 2 club trained players. Of all the clubs in England we are set up extremely well to cover such a rule. No they wouldn't, the rules do not state anything about the home grown players having to be English. Saints currently 8 home grown players to meet the current rules... 5 are English, 1 is Irish, 1 is Northern Irish and 1 is French. The 2 club trained players in the rules don't have to be English either.

The football World Cup has a minimum capacity requirement for its stadiums that the Rugby World Cup doesn't. Given the relative positions of the two clubs, Saints can justify a need for a larger stadium more than Brighton can.

K.Davis Clyne Schneiderlin Long S.Davis Rodriguez Bertrand Forster Are the 8 "home grown" players for Saints in Premier League rules. You only need 2 "club trained" players in these rule proposals, if you don't have two over 21 players who are club trained you simply leave space in your 25 man squad and the youth players effectively fill the club trained spot.
