Stud mark of doom

Bought them a week ago - should I be worried? Cheers

Anyone got their tickets yet?

Osvaldo (very like this one) But I'll go for benali.

Anyone else having trouble using this over the last few days? Basically I can't access any videos any more. This is what I got when I contacted their customer service - sounds like no access for a while until it is sorted. No idea why they didn't get the new version sorted before turning the old version off! The reason for the current lack of content and that you are unable to renew your subscription is due to Southampton launching a new media product away from EFL Digital and Player HD. Saints Player HD past and present subscribers as well as all Southampton fans will soon be updated on where they can soon listen to live audio commentary, video highlights and other exclusive video content in due course. Thank you for your patience whilst Southampton prepare their new online media product.

thanks

Anyone know when the inter tickets are going out. Got mine last week but nothing so far - should I be worried?

This has Dellhurst Park ramifications. Saints Siro? Now, where did I put my fez.

Don't really want to post the chap's email address on here but we initially contacted them by googling Corp hospitality at inter etc

We were going for a c£130 package but have now managed to tickets in the saints end instead.

This isn't right - we had agreed everything with them including providing credit card details for payment and it was put on hold at the 11th hour. Particularly worrying as we now have flights and hotels booked but not yet tickets...

Just to clarify, Branning's debut (and Bale's first goal at st Mary's) was the 2 0 mid-week victory against Coventry on 9 August 2008. I'm not sure if he came back for the zip zip west brom game the next Saturday, as suggested by the Professor.

A great moment in Saints history Jim Branning sung. I was there. Someone called Gareth Bale also scored his first goal at st Mary's

If I remember the crowd was quite a bit higher than we were averaging for Div 1 games around that time.

Given that we would have to agree to any individual transfer anyway wouldn't this be pretty meaningless rather than unenforceable?

Maybe they need to look elsewhere now and don't want to waste money on the RK tracksuits they've splashed out on?

The jack schit item, and Adam Blackmore comment, ring true to me. It also ties in with something I had at the back of my mind which was odd. When RK was asked about the first Everton offer, at the last pre match press conference I think, he said "not happening" but his tone/body language was pretty unusual. More like "Everton? You are kidding right. I'm a great manager and there is no way I would even consider moving there."

I'd much prefer his brother Rickie.

How could we have forced him to sign or go now, other than on garden leave, as he had a contract with us for another year?

Hoddle sounds like a great choice - if we can't agree terms maybe Paul Sturrock would be available

Not even but at least more even. Several teams have grounds loads bigger than ours and get more sponsorship. With TV money going - share pretty fairly - going through the roof this makes less difference. Say we had half the non tv income of Spurs (say), if tv income goes up significantly we might have 90% of their income rather than 70%. (The figures are made up - I'm sure you get the point) I remember it made quite a difference when home gate money stopped being shared in the early 80s for similar reasons - less Kevin Keegans and more Glenn cockerills.

8, 7, 6 .... More TV money means much more even playing field Players who want to improve come to us Players motivated only by money can leave We are great at identifying new talent We have shown we are robust to change at all levels We have fantastic owners We have a stable business model Leicester have shattered the glass ceiling (after we put a big crack in it)

I vaguely recall cortese had a word with him (after his own exit) and persuaded him not to leave mid season - may have got that wrong but my guess is the two quotes are before and after that chat.

It seems not.

Don't think anyone has done three seasons since Chris Nichol.
