Saint_Tony

The one phrase that sums it up for me 'It is a harsh reality that Saints were victims of their own success'. Completely agree, being the best of the rest of the teams outside of the top 6/7 teams has done nothing for us, and all the consequences have and will continue to be negative for the club. Successful season? Not really, the tv payments don't differ much from place to place,we haven't won anything, merely put our manager and a large amount of players in the shop window for the clubs above us. It's a sad reflection on the modern game, and could be about to look even worse on the part of the board. The next few weeks are critical

As I revealed a few weeks ago, the 3 players MP wants to bring to Spurs are Lallana, J Rod and Chambers, so these are the 3 to be most worried about

Not surprising, I broke news of the deal a few weeks ago. Anyway, **** him, never really took to him. His lack of loyalty is disappointing, but it's always been there to see He's a good manager, but still overrated. He will be under massive pressure at Spurs, we will see what he's made of when expectations are high. But I would love to see him fail

Say what you like about Glasgow but the win percentage was a fact, and mid 30% isn't great at all. MP has a reputation as a great manager yet has only won around a third of his games? Hopefully this stays the same for him at Spurs

He will need to be a success quickly at Spurs. They have a deluded chairman and fanbase who both think they should be challenging for the title and Champions League. He will be under pressure straight away. Sadly there's no loyalty in football so it doesn't surprise me that he's gone. The key issue now is for our board to prove they have some ****** and not sell off all of our players. That concerns me far more than MP going

Not too many exciting options. Would definitely have Benitez but can't see it happening. We need someone who will actually show a bit of passion for the club and fans. MP might have been a good manager, but for me he's always been in it purely for himself and his own career progression rather than taking us forward as a club.

Yes, but if anyone wants to hold on to any false hope they have had for the last few weeks, then no

They'll probably do him a cut price deal if he buys in bulk

Yes, it is my understanding that his 3 main targets are J Rod, Chambers and Lallana

You've answered the question right there.

No, stealing our lunch money and using it to buy a few players. You stupid *****

I've lost faith in them already, and the worst bit is the likes of Liverpool and Man Utd will start to bully us now in the transfer market as Kruger and co are clearly a soft touch.We are a sinking ship without a captain to pull us through

As I have posted before, the deal has been on the table for a few weeks since MP first met Levy. Not bothered by it, don't think he he ever gave a **** about us. He is a good manager, but overrated IMO.

As I've mentioned MP has been in discussions with Spurs for the last 4 weeks. Still not announced but it's a done deal. Let's just move on

Far too many similar threads. I think it's quite clear that the 'project' has come to an end. We need to accept we will never finish higher than 8th or compete is Europe. Sad, but true. I fear that there is no vision for success, but simply for the club to cement its position as a mid-table side. We can talk about the FA Cup defeat all day long, but we were still a mile away from winning it. Funny thing is, I cant help but think that a further run in the cup might have had a negative impact on our league form and perhaps taken some of our players out of the spotlight. The saddest part of the season just gone is that we have become victims of our own success. We are going to get bullied by other clubs in the transfer market now having missed out on Europe. I can't help but think it is the worst thing to happen to us in recent years. We're meant to look at it as a successful season. Call me a bed wetter, pessimist or whatever but we will look back on this season in a few years as the beginning of the end

We will find out soon enough if my source is reliable, it's entirely up to you if you want to believe it. Me saying he doesn't want to be here is purely my own opinion, which I am expressing on here. Why do I have to have met him to form an opinion of him?

Have heard the deal is nearly finalised, official announcement on thursday or friday. To be honest I don't want him here if he doesn't want to be here. Still think he'd be better off staying for another season and holding out for a better job. Oh well, hopefully the board has been discussing some potential replacements.

Have to agree, we are very much in the dark as to what is happening. Admittedly, the conflicting newspaper reports and never ending amount of posters who are supposedly ITK doesn't help,but I get the feeling that everything is about to fall to pieces in the next few days. We had Reeds's statement,but that was a few weeks ago. Right now I fear for the worst, can't help but thinking Kruger has no real ambitions to drive the club forward and is content to sit in 8th. As a fan of the club, I am not.

Oh right. So all the stories about Cortese ripping up transfer bids and being feared are untrue, and the real mafia don is in fact, Les Reed?

Did the players fear him? I was led to believe they worshipped him, and he was the only reason for staying at the club for a lot of players. Anyways, we still can't be sure of Ralph's plans and how he operates regarding transfer business. Does anyone know if he has any experience in this, or is it purely just dealing with coaching, motivating and scouting ice hockey players?

Wasn't Mayuka a Cortese recommendation?

Crazy that Nasri can't get in. Might be worth a bet at 20/1, good squad they have there, a lot better than England's

No not at all, seems a strange post. MP has never been linked with the Spurs job,whilst there have been lots of rumours that he is going to sign a new contract with us this week. We are keeping all of our players an he is being given £60 million to spend on new players. No chance whatsoever that he will go to Spurs

Expect MP to be appointed by the weekend.....

Same. Do we know his squad number yet?
