Enthusiasm

I was supporting what benjii was saying.

I can. Fulham's debt is 10x greater. Although the majority of it is with the owner and may be classified as soft debt (in the same way the £20.4m from Liebherr might be), a significant amount of it is with banks and other 3rd parties. Which is not the case at Saints, based on the 2009/10 accounts.

It was never 1st January for a domestic club wanting to talk to a player approaching the end of his contract, that was for foreign clubs wishing to talk to you. Domestic clubs had a period starting 6 weeks before contracts end on 30th June.

You forgot to mention the £200m worth of debt that Fulham have.

21 League goals and 11 League assists in 45 games not good enough? Yes, not as impressive as 2009/10, but still a very good record!

You are making this too easy now! None of those links have direct quotes from the player as you originally suggested. They are just rehashes of the same article that are completely unsubstantiated and do not count as evidence of any real note.

That article does not prove what you claimed. You said... "In any case Jack Cork has openly admitted publicly he is interested only in West Hams offer. It's been in all the press,and on all the relevant forums including on here." - That article is from the non-reliable source that is Tribal Football. - Nor is it a number of sources as you claimed and "all in the press". - Nor is it an actual quote from Cork publicly admitting anything. It is completely unsubstantiated.

Jack Cork's agent would be hawking his client out to every club in England that might have him. They would all be aware of the situation, Adkins mentioning it today would make little difference.

It does, because it smelt to me like bullsh!t.

Hey! That was my line of enquiry!

Source for that? I don't recall him admitting publicly anything about West Ham anywhere in the press over the last few months.

I think it works, along with my new location - which is a happy place, I would encourage everyone to join me here.

It is on the OS and BBC Radio Solent's twitter, watch the video of the interview with Nigel Adkins on Saints Player. Also mentioned here and in a number of other online papers... http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/no-arsenal-offer-for-alex-chamberlain-say-southampton-2305396.html

11 minute video of the interview now on Saints player.

This story turned out to be a complete fabrication... http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Arsenal-transfer-news-Alex-Oxlade-Chamberlain-Southampton-starlet-will-sign-July-1st-despite-Manchester-United-Liverpool-interest-article746002.html Really shouldn't trust the press as we all know.

They didn't last year, they probably won't this year.

You can't compare the two. Saints and Torquay had to come to an arrangement over ticketing, Fulham and NSI Runavik didn't. Even Torquay are likely to be better than Faroe Island team NSI Runavik.

- My seat at St Mary's at £515 for renewal (£595 if new). - The seats equivalent to it at Craven Cottage cost between £790 to £940. Fulham also have 4 fewer games and are competing with many other local teams for their fanbase.

They are going to Leicestershire on a training camp before flying out to Switzerland.

What about Fulham? http://www.fulhamfc.com/Tickets/SeasonTickets.aspx They are more expensive than Saints.

There is a significant difference between watching Saints on a potential promotion charge at a modern stadium like St Mary's and watching Barnsley in a relegation scrap at Oakwell.

Video of part of the interview... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13992770.stm Whole thing will be on Saints Player later.

Leeds, West Ham and a number of others are more expensive. You didn't look very hard!
