Excellent - thanks for doing this! I just wish I could have been there.

Living away from Southampton I appreciate the effort you've made to report what AP has said. So don't get disheartened by the reaction of some.

I agree - last season whenever I saw Euell play he didn't look the worst member of our team.

If you read this thread through you'll see that they are more angry at Pardew and what he did to their club (in their opinion) than at Saints or Saints fans. It was a bit like reading one of our threads as soon as someone mentions RL.

It's Friday and for once something been delivered on a Friday! I think this is a good appointment, he will bring the experience we all wanted in this role. Welcome and Good Luck !

Dunno - I think I prefer the "pizza kit" to our new one !

If he was so unpopular why did the Northam always call out his name when we needed some inspiration in a game ? (I'm not saying he provided it). I think he was popular, he just didn't live up to expectations.

Good idea ! Count me in for £5. I'd be happy to go with the majority decision on who to sponsor but my choice would be either a young player coming into the first team from the academy or wayne thomas.

What about going to the Chapel Arms in a Saints shirt on match ??? isn't that the one time when you've definitely won it ?

This is a big loss, his attitude may not have been fantastic but he clearly has the skill to go past defenders. A decent manager could have, imo, made him a key player for our promotion.

You're right - I can't commit to a season ticket but I want somehow to show my loyalty to the club and to be recognised by the club as a loyal fan - membership achieves this imo

I agree - he stayed on when many of us might have expected him to jump ship. As there doesn't appear to be somebody already lined up it doesn't bode well for next season.

Excellent, I think this will be key for getting a good defense together this season. I think he's matured into a great team player and as keepers can play on into their 40s he can become the core for our return to the Premiership!!! Any news on JPS???

I'm happy to support him if he wants to stay - did the family tell you that he wantsto go or if hewants to stay???

YES ! YES ! YES ! I've been off the forum since 13.00 so only just found out. YES ! YES ! YES ! Come You Reds !!!!!

I've avoided the forum all morning after celebrating prematurely last night, hoping to come on and find it's all done and dusted. What do I find? Nothing !! This is doing my head in, somebody please end this!!!!

I promised myself that I wouldn't get carried away before it was all signed and sealed - but I can't help it as I'm so happy!!! I even bored the wife with all the details over dinner, that's how excited I am. COYR !!!!!

If he's Swiss then it will be Swiss Francs!

Dubai Phil - great detective work ! Is Richard Fry a skate ? That would at least explain his motive - unless it's purely for the financial gain of his new employers?? The trouble is who cares except Saints fan - the football world is too busy watching Ronaldo and Michael Owen do their stuff to worry about SFC

Sorry, but there's no way, no matter how much i love this club that I'm buying either of these kits

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Harry Redknapp or Tony Adams????

I think this is just a ploy from Pinnacle to get the price down - they will rebid with a lower price.

very confident, more like 3:1 against

So do you have inside information or was it just a lucky guess ???

I'm gutted - I really tought it would all come together today and we could look forward to next season - now we may end up with nothing.........................
