It's quite impressive the colossal scale of great season to a seemingly inevitable squad disintegration. Only Saints could do this.
I was trying to keep an open mind until the end of the transfer window but every single thing that comes out in the press screams meltdown.
What the **** are the board playing at?
I hope we are all just overrating...but it doesn't look likely. A decent manager needs to come in ASAP to try and allay some players fears before the previous 5 years progress is undone in a few weeks.

Adam Lallana in #saintsfc programme: "I'm ambitious. I want to one day play in Champions League and compete for Premier League title."
Well that won't be with us, I guess he'll move eventually but when?
If players want to go they'll go and very few clubs are able to keep players v big club interests but what a kick in the balls Lallana going would be. For only £25m too? Try £50m instead. And £60m for Shaw, take them to the cleaners.
Wafer thin squad causing problems again. If the first choice 11 can't do it there is nothing on the bench to change things.
Hopefully that'll be rectified in the summer.
