Yet some believed that it was going to happen. That players would turn down the big clubs to stay with saints because they believed in 'the vision' that 100k a week at Man United was nothing when you play with your mates at saints for 30k a week. And now their pint sized hero had gone that isnt going to happen anymore.

You're wasting your time fella, the won't have it. Cortese could do no wrong, the players were here because they loved him and would never have left if he'd have stayed. It's far more convenient to blame everything on the people who inherited the situation than the one who caused it, as that would mean a lot of back tracking and admitting they were wrong by the cortese junkies

Such as?

What WBA players got offered moves to top 4 clubs Jamie?

His hero has gone and his champions league dream is over. He was like a junkie and Cortese words were like heroin, now he's gone cold turkey and is clucking. Its sad to see but unfortunately that's what happens when you can't handle your addiction.

FFS people, all this complaining, remember where we were 5 years ago!!!

I look forward to these claims being dismissed by MLG.

According to an agent I heard in the radio the other day his head is already at southampton.

Its great that we are even linked with these players, credit to our ambition.

He wouldn't pass a medical for a start.

Absolutely agree, I mean they could have said they ripped up all the bids and chucked them in the bin, but then sold the players anyway. Now that would be ambition.

I love the fag packet maths that we seen on here from time to time.. So we sell Lalana £25m Lambert £4m Shaw £30m Lovren £20m Schniderlin £30m a leg Pochetino compo £2m Osvaldo £7m = £118m + £35m we had anyway = £153m Sign Pelle £7m Tadic £10m Calasie £10m Forster £8m Virgil £7m Blind £10m (yes blind who is being linked with Barcelona) Vlaar £5m De vrij £12m New left back £10m Danny Ings £8m Redmond £6m = £93m Leaves us with £60m to spend in January happy days. And if anyone tries it on wanting more than £10m for a player they are taking the p*ss coz they know we've got money, they should just sell them and not try and get a good price! this is DISGUSTING I tell thee. This is when we ring up Arsene Wenger for one of our made up conversations about signing Cazrola who hasn't played much or something,

Surely this was ambition? It does matter if it wasn't true or achievable, all that matters was it was said, therefore they have incredible drive and ambition.

It certainly was the best football statue anywhere #butnotasheexpected

So who has got theirs and put a selfie on twitter/Facebook? What name did you get on the back? I'm hearing they are small sizes and being recommended to go up 2 sizes, fitted and no room round the middle! Bad luck Alps XXXXXXL for you sunshine.

'Ian Brennan has done a fantastic job, it's very rare that I am lost for words but I saw the statue last week and its awesome- a tremendous tribute to the great man. Fans have waited a long time for this and its going to be fantastic. I really believe that this will be the best football statue anywhere both in size and level of detail" Those words never fail :lol:

He's not young and hungry though??

Hilarious. Well I remember it being on a Thursday night and getting there late, it being standing room only left and being at the back with everyone singing 'we want branfoot out' at the end I'm pretty sure the red card idea wasn't discussed until later on when the meetings were moved to hulse road because captains corner was too small a venue. BTW it was the legendary nirvana joiners gig that pat will tell you 100s of people were adamant they were at.

Good call. Will be said within minutes if the first game.

A fans group with a democratically appointed chairman and committee who hold quarterly meetings with members about what fans want, which is then presented to the board. Not hard is it.

Yes that's the one, captains corner was packed out. Then hulse road, you're right. See Nick quite a bit at games, nice bloke and a true fan. Good to see he's back as a STH after his shocking treatment by Cortese.

Something like that, my mate had just got a car, fiesta 1.4s and he drove us down to the first meeting at that pub in oxford street, then the following ones up by stag gates, good times.

Also aid above, SISA were set up to pressurise the then board to get shot of Branfoot, it worked eventually and no one can say that was a negative thing, the problem for them came later, when it appeared some seemed to enjoy the limelight and lost sight of what their purpose was.

BTW, good news, after 4 years he's finally been allowed a season ticket again. A victim of Cortese spiteful and vindictive behaviour. Sadly some on here defended this.

Read the thread, I was talking about a new improved fans group, not Chorley and his chums. Perhaps the thread should be titled, 'time for a fans group?'
