Give it to Ron

House latest is no bid gone in from us so looks like agent playing games in the press. 🚨 @AlfieHouseEcho on links to Eduard Spertsyan: “The club keep telling me that they don’t think a bid has gone in. They’re not sure where it’s coming from. It could be hot air, it could be a smokescreen. I’ve not heard anything about it.” #saintsfc @TotalSaintsPod

Fatawu was a real handful same as against us Sulemana with an end product

🚨 Southampton are said to have offered Eduard Spertsyan a four-year contract worth €36,500 per week, with an increase in the event of promotion to the Premier League #saintsfc @ArmenieFootball This looks like a come and get me to other clubs and better this.

I am sure Spors said at fans forum in response to new signings “let’s see what happens next week” or something like that so could be interesting few days

Lad from Chelsea mentioned earlier this week? Gilchrist?

Think that’s him to be fair he isn’t a Nathan Jones - thankfully! Was so good to see us go for it in the end my only issue today was not playing Downs or Stewart from the start we had no physical or height outlet. Still etc changed it and was so glad to see him do that.

Reuben Selles first home game too

Inspired him to up his performance:-) just 3 more years to go. Manning was awesome when came on changed the game

Ref was crap both teams just physically battering each other. Not much football and dodgy penalty at end although Dykes arm raised was tough on Brum

Only 1 point off the top tonight

Without a mega rich owner what are our other options? We have to recruit cheap sell high or come through academy we just can’t compete.

Potentially yes from what have seen and read we have bought 2 players that will grow here and help us on pitch and financially. If they were finished article we wouldn’t have been able to afford them. We don’t know yet if will be a success but look at BBD we thought he would be good , if Downs comes good great if doesn’t his outlay wasn’t massive but hopefully Trollope and Still can help improve both new recruits.

Parsons said we try to compete with City revenue £750m ours is 150m but I have always loved us bloodying the noses of big boys like 76

So what are you suggesting not win games get half way through season and just stop winning?

He also bought in Downs and Quarshie so a good start countered by that contract . My concern is that he seems to have total control of the football not just recruiting and a lot of power we got burnt by Wilcox will same happen again or are we prepared?

My concern is what happens if Spors is poached or walks away - didn’t get chance to ask if any contingencies in place as it’s apparent he is making all football decisions

No its Spors decision and he has been here since February over seeing things and making changes in the infrastructure and recruitment

Why didn’t you ask that then?

It was apparent that Spors is the football man and all recruitment, contracts and sales are down to him and he is accountable to board for that

It got answer we expected but we had an opportunity to voice our displeasure at it - we don’t get many opportunities- it was worded so not to be rude but it got aired whether it was taken in who knows but we said what we felt about it - rewarding failure

He didn’t ask that at all go listen again it was about why club doesn’t value ST holders and why the “gifts” are no longer sent. Pin badge was an example!!!

So I thought questions were better this year on whole Gio was good. My sons was Stephens that Spors didn’t seem to like and Blackmore said he was scapegoated like Redmond - bollox! Trollope came across very well - Parsons ok but not sure on his answers about ST holders. Spors was good but the proof is in results and it was made clear he is accountable. Great question from young lady about capping cost of away tickets but doesn’t sound like clubs willing to. For those criticising suggest get off your arses and go you will see how hard it is to get question asked and an answer

Gio put hand up 🙂

Will Still has personal issues not attending Trollope here instead

I thought you were Lucy?
