Yes, there was no love lost between cork and poch so can see what he is getting at. Poch methods might have had starry eyed young lads in their first premier league season filled with wonder but I wonder how big time players at spurs will respond to his double training sessions and strict regime.

Is it soon yet? http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?37346-St-Mary-s-What-we-might-expect-to-see-happen-(and-possibly-announced-soon)#.U7TrlX-9KSM

18 months ago we were bigger than Everton, now we're only the same level as Stoke. *sighs*

I asked Nick but he'd only communicate through his legal team on the subject.

apparently Nick has started legal proceedings.

Dont forget Leslie, leslie, Leslie Reid Harry, Harry, Harry Reed

Oh dear......

Coming to my town this weekend and will be going almost past my front door.

Incredible that people are thinking that when two of our top players have both citied leaving us for them as their dream move.

Read somewhere spurs had agreed an £8m deal for Ben Davies. Would be a great signing if true.

What a legend, top bloke, deserves his move, good luck etc.

No. Won't get under badge kissers skin either. That's a bit like when arsenal come to SMS and the helmets sing 'you're gonna win f*ck all' Coming from us, a club with one trophy to our name. Embarassing.

Why is it an appalling show of grace? Lambert got kind words, Shaw got thanks, Lallana got a line saying the deal had been done, guan said this would be the case a while, there is a reason for that.

The year before. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18372855 Another thread goes badly for the Tirol Tub of lard.

Has to be this. SImple and effective "CLATTENBURG WAS RIGHT" job done.

Interesting that Franks Mantra when anything negative was suggested when Cortese was here was 'we don't know the FACTS' 'wait and see' 'only believe the positives until proven otherwise' 'glass half full' etc. yet now his dreams have been shattered and his pin up boy has gone he's screaming and demanding that people don't accept whatever it is that is going on, that some might believe doomsday is not upon us and we must know all the FACTs and anything else is trolling and anti board agendas. So come on Franco, what are all the facts pal? You must know, or else you'd be saying 'we don't know 'em' 'only believe the positives' Etc..

This. We should have has Weat Broms resolve, they told Liverpool, Man United, arsenal and spurs exactly where to go with their bids for zoltan Gera, Liam Ridgwell and Chris Brunt. If only we had their ambition.

Underwhelmed about an academy coach If he's working with the academy why would it matter? Do you think Dodd and Williams knew Poch before he joined?

Apart from when it comes to stadium expansion

You've turned into a proper whinging Bellend rylan. What happened to your expose?

And on our moral compass where we can smugly critise the big clubs for not developing their own players as our only comfort blanket.

Express say he's a defender and we want him to replace Shaw the mail says he's a midfielder and replacing Lallana.

Not to mention the constant badge kissing, chest thumping and claims to love the club over the last year.

I'm pretty sure quite a few of our 'intelligent and enlightened posters' have been at pains over the last few years to assure us that players would all turn down big money moves to big clubs to stay at Southampton and play with their mates. That all you need to make the champions league was a decent a academy and a good manager and the rest would all a lot into place. It was going to happen, it was inevitable in fact, because they once said man would never climb Everest. Or something.

The biggest load of twaddle on this thread is people posting as FACT that players would turn down the biggest clubs in the world, champions league football, a far greater chance of winning things and 3 to 4 times their wages because the chairman was a great guy who told them what they wanted to hear.
