Pelle was our best player today IMO.

Spot on name me another prem team who have sold 8 of there starting 11 on last two seasons.

Rubbish. The blame is with the board for selling 8 top quality players in 2 seasons which must be a record.

Can't keep selling our best players and expect to start still, let alone improve.

Amazed by people's views on mane. Made both chances he missed and how was he tired at the end? He's going to be amazing player.

Sounds positive mate doesn't it?

Whose more itk guan or monk and where's the ITK thread gone?

Guan reported last thurs night he'd come back with news in the morning and look at directors box nothing since?

Has guan 2.0 gone into hiding?

This guys a midfielder and van dyke is a centre back so don't know what you're on about.

Not as good as him IMO. Jim scored 7 goals one year, had much better end product.

Guan said he would post in morning. Annoying he hasn't.

For you mate probably aim for about 3 as you don't be there til 430 at earliest lol.

Haven't grown up yet have you.

Just wondering am a season ticket holder but can't go myself as on holiday.

Where is martina playing?

And you think I care? But hope you made yourself feel important.

Lowe was the worst thing to ever happen to the club. He should be left where he belongs, in the past.

Oh it's much better than those days. I'm saying further down the line and koeman was a huge name as the player but still had things to prove as manager.

I just said I'm not blaming anyone.

This is what's happened in a nutshell. 1. Original 5 year plan and then cortese had told players we were going to become champions league club. By keeping the best players and buying better players. Summer of 2013 we bought Osvaldo 12million, wanyama 12 mil and lovren 8.5 million without selling any of our best players. A trend that other than selling the ox in championship had happened for 3 years. As a result of this plan the players ie lallana and Morgan etc signed long term contracts with the view we were going to become almost a superpower. 2. Katrina saw the money she was putting in and decided that she wasn't prepared to bankroll us to that degree and informed cortese that players would have to be sold and that we have to live within our means and basically have the budget of a mid to lower prem club. Cortese was offered fab deal to stay but said that if you sell best players you lose your ambition and that he wasn't prepared to stick around in that situation. 3. The players after seeing the club had 'changed course' then starting seeking moves as previously there was hardly any stories of our players wanting out. Shaw I know at the time was happy to stay here. Lallana made his 'happy to stay for life' comments thinking we were sticking to original plan. Lambert has side said all this was the case. I don't think we can blame Katrina as she has put a lot of money in and we are in far better position now than under Lowe. At least we reinvest. Also, it's her money she can do what she likes with it. But we will struggle to keep improving on league positions IMO. I don blame cortese as I see he was ambitious and wanted to take us to the top but it wasn't his money and who knows what Markus would have decided! I don't blame the players as they were promised a plan that changed and why shouldn't they be able to try and get to the top once they saw that saints weren't anymore the vehicle to take them there? Only thing I would say is I think saints need to ditch the talk of champions league as it gives the fans unrealistic expectations. Just be honest about the targets.

I'm sorry but les reed has royally blown it here. Just terrible by saints to handle it like this.

I'm quite excited about it tbh but trust you to try and put a downer on it as usual.
