You have to say it's quite an achievement to have lower commerical revenues than a club a divsion lower with an aveage attendance less than half ours, but somehow our glorious ex CEO managed to pull it off.

Of course Franco it's me isn't it. Not the person who describes clarkson as an outdated ****, a bigot whose audience is too thick to see through his act or are also bigots and lining his pockets whilst doing so. Yet absolutely loves the programme he presents and watches them avidly. You do know by watching top gear you too are lining the man you despises pockets, don't you Franco??

Yep, the standard FC response when made to look silly. Say they don't understand nuance.

Great to see a measurable and sensible approach from those at the top. This is a far more realistic strategy than that of another director we had who would tell everyone that would listen that we were on an unstoppable march to the champions league, which was lapped up by those that worshiped him, yet when you dug a little deeper all they were were words. These ambitions relied on being funded by handouts from the owners and offshore loans. Rodgers rightly targets commercial income as a priority, something we've not seen for a long time as last figures showed us having levels of income in these areas comparable with small championship clubs. Our wonderful former leader was great at spending money, not so great at making it it seems. It seems finally we have sensible people in charge who will do things the right way, the ambitions are the same, the goalposts haven't been moved, but rather than telling everyone what we are going to do, it'll be done quietly, the right was with the club growing without relying on someone else's credit card. It could have been different.

That post was 16th February, Cortese left on the 15th January, so yes it does prove my point.

I'm glad you're speaking for everyone but then as we've seen in the past you do have an extraordinary high opinion of yourself. The thing that my positive outlook was based upon was The appointment of Ronald Koeman. No way would someone of his stature in the game be stupid enough to come to a club where he was going to be hung out to dry. I believed and said as much as time he was the right man at the right time. A manager with the stature in the game to steady the ship, settle the other players down and attract some new players himself. Throughout the whole period the only time I had any doubt was when Chambers went, we could easily have said no to that but clearly the management decided it was a good deal for us. The others were alway going to go and with the exception of Lambert we're better off without them, just like the former CEO and just like the former manager.

Its not point scoring. People were coming out with all sorts of bo*locks all summer, on about protesting, accusations of assets stripping, turning their back on the club. They didn't have faith in those in charge, they believed the Neil Ashton lead campaign that without Cortese we were nothing, now he had gone it would all fall apart, when in fact early indications are whilst he did a lot of good we're better off without him. Those that reserved judgment and stood by the club deserve to laugh at those so called fans who were quick to jump up and down. As for you, well its difficult to take you seriously when one minute you're slagging the club off as not being run for the fans and the next posing for pictures with the owners.

Remember this? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28593032 Bit different to Jeremy Wilson's article.

And in an outstanding example of inane bigotry Franks Cousin labels all top gear viewers as thick, racist bigots. Well done sunshine.

We don't sign internationals, we create them.

The message is clear, if you want to play for your country join southampton.

Great news! A player who was jeered on his home debut, written off by some before he'd kicked a ball for us, makes it even sweeter.

10 games to adapt to the premier league was the excuse Alright. A line trotted out by MLG time after time.

He flipped on the left He flipped on the right Adam Lallana Makes Burger King look sh* te

bang on the money as usual

You were very vocal on the 'les reed is a waste of space' thread Brett. Although it seems to were crab lungs puppet. Anything to say about it?

I thought this bit was interesting 'If there have been heroes at southampton in 2014 it has been Reed and a technical department that, from the age of under-eights up to the first team, have continued to implement a playing style and a standards in coaching, medicine and analytics that are founded on best practice across the world... 'Reed has stuck to the vision regardless of all the dramas that were unfolding around him' 'Koeman and Reed already know the players they want to sign next summer' Which is completely at odds with what was said here. Although post 68 seems to know his stuff http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?51089-The-Les-Reed-is-a-Waste-of-Space-thread&highlight=Reed#.VC8dnH-9KSM

The dwarf Italian loony is still unemployed, waiting for AC Milan.

How can this be? This is the club that is a joke, has no ambition, is in a mess and run by tossers who do things that'll make your eyes water if only you knew.

'Dorkish' is bang on the money as usual.

Or in many cases either deny it was said or that the comments were taken out of context.

You're forgetting that as he now doesn't play for Saints Shaw is crap and only picked because he plays for Man United, Bertrand should be in ahead of him every day of the week.

I love a good post about how people arent going to post anymore when their subscription runs out. You do know posting on here isn't compulsory and you can stop at anytime? What's up? You've been a right miserable sod since you got sacked as a mod.
