This is what makes me laugh. Fans want their cake and eat. They want us to spunk millions on players, want us to get promotion and keep all our best players whilst developing the academy, training ground expanding the stadium etc so we can become the new Barcelona, but dont want the club to go into debt by doing. So where exactly is the money going to come from? All the *****ing about paying a £1 to park is pathetic. If you dont want to pay it park in the streets around the ground, get the bus, walk, cycle FFS.

FFS who cares. Man leaves job. It happens everyday. He is on linkedin, if you're that bothered sign up if you're not on there already and send him a message asking him.

Some very good ideas Um, i am sure under Nickys guidance all these things are possible. In fact some of this is already work in progress. With regard to points 1-3, these are easily covered. We just get Cortese to stand on Hamble waterfront, raise his hand and part the solent, in the same way Moses parted the Red Sea, this would join us to the Isle of WIght and at the same time the retracting water would take care of wiping Bournemouth & Portsmouth off the face of the earth. We could build our new 200,000 capacity stadium on the land that has become available by the parting of the solent. Points 4 & 6 are also work in progress. We have a fine Yoof army already developing and are well on the way to being the new Millwall off the pitch. With a bit of support from the club we could arrange to fight for our independance, i am sure they would love it. We could also get them recruiting from their local areas and create other divisions within the ****TERS and send them on covert operations to expand the ****TERS fearsome reputation and gain our inependance. We could have the Thornhill & Woolston Active Terror Squad, Weston And Northam Krew, Midanbury Urban Guerilla Squad and the Fawley Urban Chaos Krew. We can become a club and a region with a fearsome reputation. We will not rest until we are the province of Southampton. Point 5 - thank god for this forum, we can have a "speculation on the new flag" thread, which will give The9 and his ilk something to do. All this is entitely possible. We are Southampton, we do what we want.

Things were so much better under Lowe and Wilde weren't they. Got emails back straight away, no paying for parking in the club car park, the website was better, we sold more advertising and corporate seats, our sales and marketing managers didn't last 5 minutes. I want to return to those halcyon days when SFC's customer service experience was second to none. We even had a club radio station to get information from, this would never happen under Cortese ffs.

OMG OMG OMG!!! JUst after we sign Jack Cork the feel good factor has well and truely gone now with someone from the office leaving the club. I cant believe this hammer blow to our promotion prospects when everything looked so rosey. FFS Cortese.

But, but, but. What about our catchment area? The fact we have no other clubs for competition around us, like Bolton, Fulham and Stoke do? What about Corteses vision? We have a catchment area of 1.7m, we only need 10% of those to become Saints members and we will have more than Barcelona. At my work in Reading there are 5 Saints fans in around 100 staff, this proves we are already the club 5% of the world supports. ANYTHING is possible, didn't they once man would never get on the moon?

This would fit with us being the new Barcelona.

I wouldn't expect you to understand.

I rest my case

Anyone see this? F-ck off coldplay with your mainstream nonsense, that is how to smash it. Awesome

OMG, a bird in charge of the ticket office. No wonder there were so many ridiculous ticketing decisions last season. Women + football = wrong Women + football + business + decision making = cocktail for disaster.

How gay.

He plays down the middle he plays on the right Jack Cork makes Xavi look shi*e

Please explain the basis for this. When we have only one player up front who has played regularly at this level before and he has struggled for fitness for most of the last 3 season.

I think you'll find I didn't say that at all. take your head out of the clouds and the chip off your shoulder. I actually said if he had other options thee is every chance we might not even be his second choice. Unlike the clueless majority on here I don't think players are falling over the selves to join us, in this division there are other and in some cases better options. I think jack cork is a quality signing but it still doesn't make us the most attractive team outside of the premier leagues top 4 that some think we are.

I may have got that wrong but the Peterborough chairman and manager and Leicester manager were all quoted as saying they expected him to sign, it looked like a done deal. I apologise for getting this one thing wrong and over estimating CMS's ambition, i wish i could always right, like yourself. St Ledger, Danns, Nugent, now Mills, all players most on here wanted. Mills will take their spending to near on £7m, not bad for a club that isn't spending.

Is the star like the way international teams have for the times they have won the world cup? We are going to do our own version with one small star on the sleeve for our one Johnstones Paint Trophy.

But but but, we were told the other day they aren't spending and are only signing players that weren't good enough for us? I dont understand.....

This.

Yes it's private property, they are within their rights to clamp. How would you feel if you got home tonight and someone had dumped their car on your front lawn and cleared off for the day?

Probably because unless you parked there all day yourself, rather than just dashing in and out of the ticket office, you would have no idea how long any of the other cars had been parked there.

It's more evidence of what a fantastic chairman super Nicky is though. This is clearly a subtle way to weed out the patheti, whinging elements of our fan base who are more interested in moaning that there aren't enough paper towels in the toliets to last the game than actually enjoying the football. Great work Nicky. A fantastic business and psychological move.

What a complete and utter mug. Absolutely pathetic.

Please explain. I was educated over the weekend as to why players will join this fantastic football club, thank you very much. We are not just a pay cheque and footballers aren't like checkout operators who will down tools and move supermarket for an extra £1 an hour you know. Players will come here for the dream, the vision, the fact their wives will love shopping at West Quay and thier kids will love living near Peppa Pig world etc etc...

this season i'll be singing he stand just under 6 foot 3 Ricky, Ricky Provided we achieve promotion to the premier league within the five year plan laid out by our esteemed chairman or failing that within a suitable period that he is able to achieve this within the time frame of his career and he doesn't suffer from a career threatening injury or severe lack of form and ability which deems him no longer good enough, he'll take us to the premier league, Ricky, Ricky He wears the shirt of Keegan, Phillips, Skacel and a number of other previous number 7 shirt wearers most notable Matt le Tiss, Ricky Ricky when he gets the ball he takes the p*ss Ricky Lambert, who last season proved himself not just a goal scorer but he is equally effective as a provider and dropping deep to recieved the ball and bring others into the play, Southamptons footballing machine.
