You are the one that disputed what he said, not me. Justify it, or retract it.

Are either of my points incorrect then?

Which English clubs do you think he would leave for then? Few can match or better what he has going for him at Saints right now.

- In a 42k stadium this season they averaged 33k. - They are over £100m in debt, compared to Saints £0. This sums it up...

Why would he want to do that? What can they offer him Saints can't?

If the Football League don't give them a huge points penalty for it, then it sets a very dangerous precedent.

Everyone here should ask him a question along these lines... Are you aware of the huge points deductions in League One for the failure of 2010 CVA? Diluting it with a 2012 CVA amounts to the same as not agreeing a CVA in 2010 in the first place. He won't answer it when I ask.

Burnley bidding for right backs to open the way for a rumoured Southampton move for Kieran Trippier? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18072899

Iago Falque is a former Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus player and is currently at Tottenham. Saints only felt he was worthy of a 56 minute appearance.

The thoughts of Rangers fans... http://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=219958

It would seem Cortese/Adkins are intent on prising away at least one star player from either of the Old Firm clubs, if not Gary Hooper at Celtic then why not the Rangers captain... http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/football/spl/rangers/2012/05/13/premier-league-new-boys-southampton-keen-to-land-rangers-skipper-steve-davis-86908-23857658/

Training ground improvements are already in FM12 and will continue into FM13. Sugar daddy status still to be decided, but given the turning of debt into equity it may return. I'm not sure how sugar daddies will work in FM13 given the FFP rules. Lambert and Lallana are getting big boosts, as are most of the Saints squad.

What is that article about? You need to register to see it. Copy and paste it please.

I think they went to Vegas based on their Tweets this morning...

I gave you answers, which you choose to ignore, so when you repeated the same questions I pointed you towards my original responses.

Why didn't you ask him on what he based such a statement?

See post #1116 See post #1125 That has been apparent for some considerable time.

Read the last sentence of my post you quoted. See post #1126

I see you like bringing that up, highlights that you didn't understand my point. I used Bolton as an example of a less glamorous Premier League opponent and Man Utd as an example of a glamorous one. I could have picked a number of other teams as examples for both of them. Saints sold out games against those at the top and bottom whilst in the Premier League, they did so whether they were in mid-table between 2001 and 2004 OR whilst being relegated in 2004/05.

You seem to be under the impression that expansion of a stadium can be done at the flick of a switch. Look how long it took for the training ground to go from public announcement (things were going on months before that) to main construction starting - it was over a year and a half. A stadium expansion will take longer to both design, get through planning permission and public consultation. Of course it isn't happening this summer, doesn't mean it couldn't in summer of 2013 or 2014 once everything is sorted. We have no idea what is going on behind closed doors now promotion has been confirmed. As I said earlier, which you overlooked... "Cortese may well have been confident of promotion earlier this season, but the council aren't going to agree to expansion plans that aren't potentially needed for years to come. The club is now ahead of schedule and can now if it chooses use its promotion to justify to the council that its plans have merit".

Read post #1116 for a 3rd time.

Read post #1116 again. We have no idea what the club is doing behind closed doors at the moment now that promotion has been confirmed.

If it bothers you so much, put me on "ignore".
