Mr X

ralph on sky now talking lots of pseudo waffle with an smirk

hmmm maybe saints inability to keep either manager or long term owners, my guess is there will shortly be another new owner, but yes you are right cant pinpoint the blame on any overall problem allthough Lowe was reknown for being a little trigger happy

Is blackmore known for grilling people or giving them an easy time?

so 8 in the last ten years

no chance!, would she need an interpreter like MP?

Lets wait ans see how many players are sold, and who mp's replacement is, its not going to be a big name as when have we ever had a big name....... other than hoddle & redcrap if they can be considered such?

Is that a joke or a contradiction? Hoddle would be going backwards hes had his time

The board must take their fair share of criticism for the way this had been handled radio Solent last night were debating it and agreed the board have done an extremely poor job in the handling of MP's future the fans knew he was off (apart from a few who claimed to be itk that mp was 100% staying!) yet it was dragged out and fans were fed lied by les reed who now we have to put are faith in. I honestly don't believe either kathrina or Ralph have a clue about running a football club and why in the world would they? Hope they prove me wrong but I think this could quickly turn into saints being a laughing stock yet again! They don't seem to be interested in keeping the team together

Most generic & un-personal statement ever much like his interaction with fans while here

Never thought id say it but bring back cortese for all his faults we wouldn't be in this mess, the board are directionless, les reed has known for months MP was off and fed the fans a load of lies

would anyone take moyes?

Exactly, some think Redknapp is high calibre, The way this has come about when everyone knew he was off and the extended dragging out of contract talks and lies from the club was farcical, I have no faith that ralph has any clue in football and will appoint a worthy replacement, we'll probably have an ice hockey manager too!

the whole defence will fall apart without this man, fonte aside he is the defence!!! surely we wouldn't be stupid enough to sell?

Most on here probably wouldn't but id take moyes, tough time at united but one poor (but only by man uniteds standards) season doesn't make a bad manager. Would he see us as a big enough club though after being at the biggest?

Subtext But if "the price is right" we are willing

for better or worse cortese had grand ambitions for the club whether or not we would have ever reached the level he was aiming for ie champions league etc we will never know but you have to admire his drive! is it better to aim high and fail then to settle for mid table mediocrity? or does it really not matter where saints are in the table? I guess it all balances out as yes he made some bad decisions but overall you'd have to admit hes been one of if not our most successful chairmen

"Southampton's new chairman says that key players will not be sold to pay off club debts" whats that in your language?

absolutely I would want him back, its better the devil you know (unless that devil is named Rupert!!!), who cares if he was frosty with the media and a controlling diva, he got results and people were beginning to respect sfc again. Now we are left in uncertainty and kreuger can talk the talk but can he walk the walk

I know we have no idea if he is indeed a wreck it ralph but we definitely have to use that nickname if he turns out to be so

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27058403

Ralph Kreuger has said that none of our top players will be sold, are you a believer?

You do know its to announce he's coming back right?

wish to hell poch would make up his mind, jeez how long does it take for Christs sake [video=youtube_share;coPB3GLpx98]http://youtu.be/coPB3GLpx98

My guess is that's the casualties, it makes sense and is the most likely
