SW5 SAINT

Isn't that a bit like saying the Celtic manager has an average win rate of 70%. In other words anybody could.

I rather thought the thread was about Jimmy D giving to charity "if" Koeman was Everton manager at the beginning of next season. I should wait until that actually happens.........

Lol....that would be a good one, and still collect the £5m compo........

Agreed absolute madness, and we would still have all our players poached by Everton and whom ever else....

That's exactly what it does say, Howe content to stay at Bournemouth while the Russian keeps bankrolling them. He knows thats not going to happen here.

This....

That's not getting stripped of all their decent players the previous summer!

What's the point of a club extending an already long contract to insert a release clause, to trigger the very thing it is supposed to prevent.

Go and take a deep breath...........

Leicester City didn't do too badly with a new manager last season. I think the shelf life most managers is only about two or three years, with a couple of notable exceptions.

Absolutely agree with this.......

If the offer wasn't more than £20m, rather than strengthen spurs or Liverpool, I would make him see out his contract. Probably worth several million in place money next season for Southampton. Accepting whats been quoted doesn't seem to make sense anyway for us!

I'd like to know which manager hasn't got a demanding abrasive style. Part of the job I would have thought.........

Just checked the Wikipedia Europa League 2016/17 page, Southampton still waiting to be promoted to the group stages.........just saying......

No Puncheon or Schneiderlin in their respective starting line ups..........

Which Celtic players should we go for now?

Lol.......I can't wait for when we go calling up there again......

Agree with all of this.........

I think Badger meant John B.....I'd like to see Wham miss out as well, but have to agree not having to qualify for us is the best option.

Lol.........

Trouble is Liverpool's name been written on this thing all along. Come on Sevilla.....

What about David Speedie, did nothing much in a Saints shirt. But I think I'm correct in saying, while on loan at wham scored the goal that took wham up, at the expense of poopey. The pompey fans still detest Leicester to this day for finishing sixth to poopies third that season, but seeing off poopey in the play offs. With their elephantine memories they sure don't like Leicester City.

I just wish we could see footage of the away fans when Plymouth scored. Just think in the time poopey have been in League 2, Bristol Rovers have been relegated to the conference, come back up again, and gone on to get promoted to League 1!!

and that keeps Wham out of Europe too :-)

Currently fifth, where yesterdays Daily Fail said it was impossible for Southampton to finish!!
