Saint Charlie

All the talk has been for weeks that he is going there so would hardly be shock of the century if he has been to their TG. Its definitely MP. Definitely his son(s) and according to Spurs fans the other guy is the Spurs Player Liaison Officer and it is the Spurs TG. This is a pic of MP and the other two lads from earlier this season: http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BmO_NjxCUAEw46r.jpg If so then would be hugely suprised if he doesn't end up there, hardly going to be a coincidence and suggests we have let him speak to them.

Sure Reed and Krueger are still comfortable with it all.

So de Boer definitely won't be going to Spurs then.

Dan Brett is always first on the buzzer with Saints news. Countless (no) examples of this.

This must be the final kick from his agent then.

Pretty clear where this has come from. Fonte wants a new contract...

But what Reed said 4 weeks ago must still be true because it was posted on the OS?

Lambert already a legend. Chambers will probably go next summer if the trend continues with our best Academy prospects. Cork could be in without a shout of making a lot of appearances if we ever get round to speaking to him about a new contract.

Seems likely.

Paul Cook...

Haha. Some right wallies on here. Things only happen when official statements are made.

Fair enough but surely you have an opinion based on everything you read and hear?

Reed will protect his FA boys.

Still waiting...assume you agree with me then? Open your ****ing eyes. Jesus.

So you think Shaw and Lallana are staying and that Poch is going nowhere?

Use your brain. The players don't know where they stand. Players like Cork and Fonte whose contracts are up next season don't know whats happening with their futures. We are somewhat rudderless on football matters which for a football club isn't great...

Because Shaw and Lallana will be sold, possibly Schneiderlin and there is a high chance MP will not be the Manager. I would say 95% Shaw and AL will leave. Might not be official but its as good as. Nothing official has happened but we all know the official bits are the formalities. Doesnt take an ITK to realise whats going on in the background.

Agree with the OP. The people who say nothing has happened yet are kidding themselves. We are going to start next season in a significantly weakened position compared to how we ended the previous one a couple of weeks ago. Have to wonder if we have the right expertise in the boardroom.

Didn't John Williams appoint Allardyce? Hard to take seriously.

Comparing Cortese to Krueger and Gareth Rogers in terms of their interviews and general comments, understanding and abilities is quite scary.

No brainer but won't happen.

So, he will be back then. Villa maybe? Can't really fault any of what he says, and like or loathe him - he did a brilliant job and we are worse off for him leaving.

Agree with Adam re the holding the cards aspect. The Board could easily have put more public pressure onto Poch. Everytime he put it onto them they seemed to get in a flap and there were a number of inconsistent statements. Stupid too that contracts havent seen sorted for the likes of Cork and Fonte, both of whom would love to stay.

Most of that is fair enough.

You mean the "sample" one that was lighthearted fun?
