Or come out with something stupid like.....''Koeoman has a transfer budget of £90m, and we will let him use it all'' Wouldn't put it past him.

The mouth piece is being wheeled out in force it seems. Appease the masses with PR waffle.

Should write a book. ''How to downgrade a football club in 1 month - for Dummies''

Is Rushton the fella on SoccerAM? Amazes me how people as average as him get gigs like this.

They've developed a new app called ISale.

Amy Lewis also mentioned that Morgan is speaking with Saints today.

Can we guess what he's going to say? ''FC Southampton is a great club, and there are so many players queuing to join us. We have never been in such a strong position. We have lost players, but we will replace those players and build on our success last season with our wonderful world-class manager in charge, we have opened a world class training facility which we will use to continue nurturing players for the top 4 clubs. With the continued support of our passionate and loyal fanbase, which shows no signs of diminishing, we will enjoy another successful season in the history of #teamsaints''

This way they have a bigger national audience to address.

The charm offensive is in full swing, we have the delights of Ralf to enjoy in the next 2 hours.

Oh great, this is all we need. When the going gets tough, wheel out the mouth piece.

Fraser Forster, Danny Ings and go on...Ryan Bennett.

Bit part players? 50 goals in 57 games, and the most creative player in the league. I don't think that makes them bit-part players? If they were subs for Twente and Feyernord, fair enough - but they were the key players for each side.

He nailed his anti-cortese parade to the mast, so this situation is obviously not going to be portrayed as bad by him - even if he wanted to, it would make him look silly.

Maybe this is the reason English players don't go abroad? Ashley 'Plz can I come and play?''

It's clear we're up for sale. I hope we find a good buyer. I think the current lot are handling the whole situation like a bunch of amateurs though.

It was along the lines of the club cannot stop the domino effect. Losing Morgan was a key blow, something drastic will now have to happen. Monk then said he'd had enough and had lost faith from the board. THEVMAN said in the summer that he's gone now, we'll lose players etc. If that's the views of our only true ITK's, then I think we're screwed beyond anything I could have imagined.

The FPP will ensure that the elite stay the elite, and the also rans stay the also rans. That's the reality of it, and why it's such a pointless introduction to football. They've just made the gap bigger.

Are we going to sell it to Liverpool next summer? Could be quite a good catchment area for academy graduates for them, I'm sure we'd listen to offers. I jest, but still wouldn't put it past anything I've seen these last few months!

Oh without a doubt, we'll be putting Derby's record to the test. A season that could ruin this club for a good 5/6 years.

Nope, ditto. Shame that this transfer thread still has absolutely no concrete incomings. And you cannot keep PL signings quiet, so you'd expect a bit of media exposure a week or so before anyone signs. Makes me feel we're not even an inch close to anyone, probably on our 10/11th targets. Hopefully they prove me wrong and bring in 3, 1 tomorrow, thursday and Friday...but not counting on it.

The current reality is that only one of them is good enough for the first team right now, and if it's to be believed, he's the one we're about to flog to city.

As much as we are all ****ed off right now, throwing personal insults in the direction of Markus's Daughter isn't exactly in good taste, is it?

It's probably very valid, but I'm sure he'd have hoped it was managed a hell of a lot better than it is being managed right now.

Didn't they win the World Cup? Congrats North Korea.
