I agree completely.

To add to your pondering... The sacking of Pardew comes less than three weeks after the death of Southampton owner Markus Liebherr. However, according to a source who was close to Liebherr, the Swiss billionaire had been pushing for Pardew’s dismissal for several months.

Oddly enough, I didn't see the reported possible sale as a negative. The strong implication of the initial reports suggested a continuation of the "onwards and upwards" trajectory planned out by Markus and Cortese. We shall see what pans out.

Not only me, apparently. That said, now I've started quoting Bearsy, I suppose the argument has failed.

Such cynicism, from one so young....

Ottery would respond to us Pap, but the kettles on and his wife wants a cuppa.

..... #pussywhipped@otterbourne.....

Doesn't really say anything you wouldn't expect her to say, just sounds like corporate-speak to me. You could read it as "I'm here for the long term" or equally as "I'm on my bike, but will only flog it to someone nice."

Serious thread here, Bear. Keep the comical stuff for the muppet show, or better yet, do a proper bear-style scouting report on Wanda?

Is that you, Finbarr??

Alpine wouldn't be smiling.

....harsh....

Never fear. If it's edible, she'll buy it.

Hope is a wonderful thing, especially in UK football.

On a sidenote Bearsy, your special yo yos "Bear" biscuits are in the Co-op, not Morrisons. The wife bought some more yesterday, so they must be good.

Time to change your avatar. Lambert is being used in a different position. All he did was link play, and force a stunning save from a free kick that on most other days would have put the game to bed.

tbh Turks, I usually tend to believe the BBC above other sources. In any case, plenty of other reports have referred to the same thing.

Two, in fact. From the BBC- "But Cortese, who disagrees with Katharina Liebherr's wish to sell the club, submitted his resignation almost three months ago, when Southampton were third in the Premier League."

Given that most reports of the situation state categorically that the main reason for Cortese resigning was Katrina Liebherr's wish to sell the club, I somehow think you might be disappointed.

Have you cancelled the contract then?

edit

Hope you had money on that, Jonny.
