anybody getting any of these to work?

I can understand Kat wanting a sustainable plan but she isn't stupid and no way is she looking at a fire sale. The value of the club is based on its league status not on having 20 scouting staff or a good academy facilities. Cortese was a despot leader but he had a vision (achievable or not) the players believed in it. When he left he left a power vacuum. Krueger and reed were asked to fill it. However they have neither the ability to fill it or the authority to sanction the funds to deliver the dream. What we have been left with is empty Southampton way vision. What we need is strong leadership from someone. They need to speak to all the players and sell them a vision that they can believe in, do what lambert re vlaar has done and say no one else is for sale and then start recruiting seriously. Not f**k around with derisory offers but serious bids the longer we float down the creak without a paddle the more players we will lose

another clean sheet - i think we may go the whole season without conceding - who needs Lovren LOL

common on then share all your latest transfer news

LOL not sure player registration places are a great concern at the moment

Given a distinct lack of signings yesterday - can we now discount Dubai Phil as an ITK PS Bo Derek for me

Hopefully our new batch of young hopefuls will see our recently departed players sat on the bench at their new BIG clubs and when they meet up at the England training camp they wont be so easily persuaded to leave. Also I hope that the players that leave dont get game time and therefore dont get picked England and they will look on enviously at our new generation playing regularly and getting picked by Hodgson

No we are all too busy arguing on here

http://fansonline.net/portsmouth/mb/view.php?id=554968 Think you may all find a few nuggets of amusement from this thread that is also being discussed on BHA's North Stand Chat

With that team Schneiderlin, Wanyama and Cork will need to start chipping in with a few goals

Go on then own up - who has started the rumour about Shaqiri

With Cork promoting the new kit - does that mean he will get a new contract and not leave

Yaya Toure looking like he will be leaving City - He'll do

Not me I promise

Goalkeeper rating of 3 - isn't that better than Gazzaniga's

Yes but what he wont have encountered is the wit of the English terraces - when hears his name being called out in a comical way everytime he touches the ball - he'll fall in love with us and never leave

I didnt think we were making appointments of people that didnt speak English - Sammy Lee needs Poch's translator

To be fair he was probably under the impression that he would have a team to manage when he started - he's clearly filling time until one turns up

Antti Niemi has just been announced as the new goal keeping coach for Brighton and Hove Albion we should of grabbed him

I wonder if he will tweet any pictures of nuns that we can use on the match day thread to give us a bit of luck

i'll 2nd that - get him onboard - one of the only posters worth reading

the best thing to come out of tonight is that cant see Suarez starting for Liverpool - RM got to put in a 80m bid for him

Veho and the jewellers from Winchester??

Im not really up on Mancini - how many of these were actual real achievements for the team - EG the Premier League on the last day of the season wasn't a massive achievement for a team with 1£Bn invested in it and the Turkish cup is that like the equivalent of Celtic winning the Scottish cup - this is a genuine question im not slating him
