Batman - not sure that is actually the case. West Ham, cardiff (at home), villa and others parked the bus and we struggled to break them down as they negated our pressing style and we had no plan B

Blimey...what a dinosaur (if true) and will likely never get another job in football again. Damaged goods (and a crap manager to boot)

Wow.....this has degenerated quickly. What a surprise. I genuinely feel for Boruc, who really didn't do anything wrong last season but now has lost his place. If Koeman does not rate him/is unimpressed then Artur is best off somewhere else as he will have zero chance regaining his place. It is very frustrating....on the one hand we slate players leaving but then are unimpressed when Boruc (perhaps with good reason) states he is unhappy with things and not being given a chance. Football is a cut throat business for sure. Irene should also be cut some slack - she is just providing information and for the usual suspects to sneer and be their usual keyboard warrior is plainly out of order.

Heisenberg/Glasgow - you know Batman/Delldays/jamie is a parody and poor mans WUM. Don't rise to it. 1 more signing and I reckon we have a deeper squad than last year - really excited to see how the team does when it gels. Can't understand why people are scoffing at Isgrove (home grown, desperate to succeed) and disregarding him and saying how wonderful Townsend is. And re. Tadic - in pre-season and the Liverpool game he looked a far more dangerous player than Lallana did towards the end of the season where his ego could not get through the door. So signs are promising that he could well offer more than Lallana although time will tell.

the clause people are getting their knickers in a twist about (prove it, it can't be true, etc) mirrors exactly what View From The Top has been saying for quite some time.

Blimey....you lot do realize that Shaw could have not signed a pro contract with Saints and got a ton of money for signing for Chelsea/Man U whereas we would have just received a poxy "development fee". But he chose to sign that contract and so we have made a ton of money off Man U? Hopefully the lad will continue to show the immense talent he has.

The BVI loan and possibly others? The 100% overspend on the training ground that KL (not NC) then made good through her own money. Sure there is probably other stuff but at the end of the day I believe our owner has the clubs best interests at heart and we are in safe hands.

The piece shown on NBC Sports was obviously not the full post match interview. Was only about 90 secs to 2 minutes long and the interviewer asked him if he was surprised at the reception Lovren got which was when he started talking about yes he was surprised at the reaction to Lovren as the fans should be directing their anger at the Board after the "gaffer" left.

Think too many on here have forgotten, in their worship of Cortese, exactly whose money was being spent on the never never by our former chairman. IF we are self-sustaining and play attractive football with good cup runs then I think that is as much, realistically, we can expect. Good that KL continues to support the team and this seems to bear out what Guan mentioned at the end of last season that she has gotten the Saints bug.

The comments were on NBC Sports interview just now. Batman - still pathetically trying to be a WUM I see. And failing.

His comments are way, way off the mark and out of order. He should have kept his mouth shut and kept his opinions to himself. Surprised fans are blaming the players and not the Board - really? So we should applaud Lallana and Lovren's despicable behavior? Surprised Pochettino left and that reflects on the Board? Really, seriously? Slimy git decided in January he was leaving and tells his favorites to do the same and that is somehow the Board's fault. The Board have brought in Koeman, spent a large amount earned through sales (with more there to spend) and, based on today's performance, we could have an equally good season this year with a team that wants to play for Koeman and have not had their heads turned by 'superstars' like Gerrard on England duty. Shame on you Lambert.

I have a feeling he will be a superb manager for us. It is obvious he will say what he thinks - even if it upsets some people. PLayers will know where they stand with him and he has already made a stance re. Schneiderlin and shown real leadership. Hopefully, after 10 games, we will be solid mid-table and can grow from there.

good that he speaks good english - seems all our overseas signings have a good grasp of English which will help with settling in

oh do fu** off Dulldays. Don't you have anything better to do than be a poor mans WUM?

Agreed...comes across as exactly the right sort of character for us after the billy big ******** who have left this summer

good luck to the guy - not his fault we have paid massively over the odds for him. Just the stupid, unsustainable nature of todays market.

As also confirmed/reported by Echo. But, also, no immediate plans to open contract talks either. Don't think RK rates Cork and he's the one that counts, not fans on this message board (rightly or wrongly).

so the guy who spoke to LR in the car park was probably speaking the truth. Glad we gave up on this guy: more trouble than it's worth

Bloody hell. Schneiderlin has a real cheek - let him rot in the reserves. Signs a new contract worth 45K per week and then claims he was told he could leave less than 12 months into said 4 year contract. What a prize c**t he has turned into.
