'Remember where we were x years ago' Was always the line trotted out when Cortese got any criticism. Well people. Remember where we were five years ago. We were just coming out of admin, in l1 and on minus 10 points with Lloyd James and Matt Paterson in the side. Now were a premier league club with £100m in the bank which will all be spent on new players, the next crop of bright young things emerging, an international legend as manager and the man who wrote the coaching manual for ENGLAND in charge of recruitment. Yet still you complain, still people don't trust the board, people demanding the club be sold. Remember where we were five years ago. Funny how no one is saying that now.

F*ck me! things must be serious when even Strawlock and Small Fry agree!!

Like a 5 year old on Christmas Eve, throwing my old toys to the bottom of the box and overcome with excitement about what new ones Santa Les might bring me.

Wrong. If Morgan goes the Ralph has to be fired. No credibility whatsoever left.

So fans demand answers, fans demand statement. Fans get answers and interview and they don't believe them or aren't convinced.

You're a f*cking weirdo.

BOld statement so can only think either the club have got some backbone or both have said they want to stay. Either way, if one or both leave Kruger should be fired.

Im expecting something Churchillian. Clear and inspirtational which will satisfy the bloodlust of the masses, dry the sheets of the bedwetters, whilst providing those of us with a more balanced view with the expected optimism for the future direction of the Saints.

I am in London today and saw Kat getting into a Bentley outside Harrods with a personal shopper carrying a selection of Louis Vitton handbags and Louboutin shoes. Stoppoing only to post something in the letter box, which a source told me was a card FAO John Henry C/O Liverpool FC, Anfield, Liverpool. Make of that what you will.

That's certainly the closet to what if heard, especially the bit about Pochetino stirring behind the scenes.

My thoughts exactly.

We will tell them 'not for sale' like Les said we would.

I thought we didn't care what the media and other clubs thought of us? We don't need them do we people.

He might be a c*nt, but he's our c*nt, right? He's not here to make friends. Successful people often have to make unpopular decisions, that's how it is. What you can't deny is his experience, knowledge and vision.

Well why don't you say then, like you said you would, instead of being a snivelling dinlow.

Of course Les, its all all made up. Dorkish, get me everytime that one

I thought you liked to be In possession of all the facts before casting judgement, otherwise you give the benefit of the doubt. That's what you always told me every time I criticised Cortese. What's changed Franco?

Like ripping up your season ticket? good to see you've learnt from that.

I imagine training will be like the scene from American history x when Derek vinyard first walks into the exercise yard.

So you don't think Les Reed in his role as effectively director of football contributed at all this? What was cortese paying him for then?

Exactly Nicholas, he didn't have as much power when NC was here, if he did we wouldn't be lumbered with Osvaldo and Ramirez.

Probably Corteses finest decision was bringing les reed to the club. A man of honour and integrity who was happy to stay in the background doing the hardwork whilst cortese took rhr limelight. It was reed who brought us Adkins and Koeman, it is reed who is the driving force behind the academy, it is reed who whilst cortese chased our failed marquee signings such as Osvaldo and Ramirez, was working behind the scenes to bring us the players who did make a difference, Rodriguez, Lovren, Boruc, Clyne, cork, the less heralded but more successful recruits. Now he has been extrapolating incredible fees for players who want away after being lied to by our former CEO. Phase one of his summer project is nearing completion and we will effortlessly glide Into page two, the recruitment of players to replace the departures. Will it be success is still to be seen. However we couldn't ask for a More knowledgeable and experienced man to drive the plan and given his track record of success in-spite of Cortese you wouldn't bet against him now that deadweight had been removed.

Its afire sale then. Chambers will be worth £40m this time next year and Shaw will be worth more than bale.

Okay, so we're being asset stripped despite spending £17m so far with if links and rumours are true, potentially another £30m or so this week. Keep 'em coming

Pretty strange to spend millions on replacing departed players then. Surely her investment would be worth more by keeping the players and selling 'champions league ready saints' with their plush new training ground and top 5 academy in Europe churning out international after international?
