Interesting, esp given the timing.

^ aye, just read up about that.

Flores seems still to be in the running although if Sevilla becomes vacant he might be off there

Do you go to the games or watch on TV? I find when I am at SMS and the game is boring as hell, I wish I was at home. So no, I do not want boring football.

So he goes on hols, comes back, ****s us over, goes back away on holiday. I suppose it is in the hands of his agent.

Has RK gone yet? All getting very tedious.

Certainly I am "meh" (I think that's the modern parlance for it). Just disappointed that one thing is said, and another course of action taken. But that's before knowing the facts, which may or may not come out.

It may be accurate, but maybe he could actually for once, write an article or two on why clubs of our size do sell each summer. As everyone says, we are all stepping stones apart from Real/Barca/Bayern and when Utd are up to speed, maybe them. Maybe not. And as such, we haven't sold any players....yet!! Do you think he might write an article if Leicester lose Vardy, Mahrez and Kanté or just say that they are a stepping stone? Or maybe we are the only club in PL that is a stepping stone.

Thank you for your invaluable contribution ref15.

£100m is 90% of Swansea. As for the employee becoming a billionaire, that did strike me as a bit strange as well.

Rickie Lambert, Liverpool 2014-2015. Love it. They get him to talk about Saints and still call him a Liverpool player.

Agree. The only ex Saints manager I wish well, is Adkins.

It was at 6.20am and I didn't have my glasses to spot the auto correct.

What Samules doesn't mention is the academy. This year Matt Targett and JWP did OK - well Matt didn't really feature too often when Ryan came back, save when we played a 352. Apart from that Reed got 28 minutes - 10 minutes in PL and 18 in Euro qualifiers when we were well up against Vitesse. In the last season with Poch he got 129 minutes. Isgrove got 72. McQueen a mere 8. Rowe 21 and Gallagher 424 minutes. Then there was also Chambers (1820 mins) and Shaw (3262 mins), as well as JWP (1963 mins) who had pushed on from the year before, where Ben Reeves had also featured along with Sam Hoskins and Corby Moore.

Does the PL new money level the field? Sure we have more money, but then so do the big boys. It does mean we can offer more than overseas clubs. Leicester offer Vardy £80k a week. Arsenal offer him £120k a week.

Of course we are. Always have been, always will be. Why anyone thinks we aren't is a mystery and therefore why anyone like Samuel writes his tosh as if it is a surprise is very strange.

Ridiculous article So why be depressed and disappointed by it? Has he just realised what football finance is like? These bloody reporters should just take a look at Leicester. They are about to loose Vardy, possibly Mahrez and Kante. And they have CL football on offer. So rather than going on about the situation at Saints, maybe they should write about what is wrong with football and discuss methods that could be brought in to stop the big boys picking off everyone.

This is a classic thread demonstrating fans using heart rather than head

Brizzie I would take all figures with a pinch of salt both what we pay and what Everton have offered.

Looks like my mother in law

PSG in for Kate for £20m.

That's all wonderful, but he might not even be offered the job.

Ah ha - I see that now.

That's all wonderful, but in all honesty, why would we care?
