There are plenty of loopholes which any team can legitimately exploit. Therefore, unsurprisingly, Samuel has written another poorly researched article, which is factually incorrect:-(

Come on, of course he knows the budget. MP is just playing games with the media.

Think some will change their views when they see the reply.

Gazza not to blame for their third.

Wilder OUT

It's costing £12M to add another 8,000 capacity. Same cost as Swansea's proposed expansion. The £3k per seat quoted previously for St.Mary's seems wide of the mark and is not in line with current market rates.

The Swansea Chairman Huw Jenkins stated that increasing the capacity of the Liberty by around 10,000 seats would set the club back in the region of £15m. I accept that in our case it might be slightly more expensive. Note that the Liberty stadium design is similar to St.Mary's, although not as big. The future risk of not expanding is that we will be left behind by our competitors. As I stated earlier I believe that there is scope to expand to 40k. This would allow the club to increase match day income (match day tickets, programmes , drinks and food etc) for a limited number of games. With interest rates at an all time low it's a good investment opportunity. I'm sure we could easily sellout the six cat A games each season. It's all about the maths and growing the business.

From a business perspective it makes perfect sense to expand now. Even with a modest increase of 8000, we would only need to sellout 6 games per season for 5-6 years to see a pay back.

£12M approx. Not much in terms of the TV money we receive nowadays.

Wish I had got wasted after watching that crap.

His role will be to improve leadership in the whole organisation (ticket office, corporate, HR, retail, PR and media etc). Heard him mention in a recent radio interview that the organisation employs approximately 700 staff. Therefore, nothing to worry about.

This.

FF you're a strange one.

Wish this was true but doubt he will be back this summer. The following was posted sometime ago on not606 by a reliable forum member:- "He's heading back to Ennetbaden and selling his home in Southampton. His boys were withdrawn from school on Friday, apparently. Back to Switzerland for the Cortese family... who can blame them! I don't think we'll see him appear in British football, maybe not even on the continent".

Team selection was woeful. The manager lost the plot today.

NC to Leeds?

Have we? I'm off to slash my wrists.

The Sunday Supplement talking Saints next.

This.

A classic post from the past. Lol.

Fresh legs required.

Lack of width is a big problem.

This. It's far too early to make any judgements. Let's not forget that Man City lost last weekend to Cardiff. All teams, regardless of size will have good and bad days.
