What has Lawrie done wrong? -
Cortese clarifies the current position (Daily Telegraph)
John B replied to trousers's topic in The Saints
I dont think you realise you wind up people with some of your sanctimonous posting -
I think Cortese is doing a reasonably good job in running in running the club in League 1 with large crowds and no mortgage on the stadium. The only criticsm of him was the handling of Pardew like Lowe with Hoddle he took to much notice of the fans obviously he could not work with Pardew and should have bought in a new manager in the summer and we would probably be heading for Promotion - our Pre Season was a farce and I could never how we would be playing well at the start of the season. However Cortese seems to alienate all other organisations which are involved with SFC which causes problems which seem to have got out of hand

MLG we live in a free society and MLT can say anything within the law if he feels what he is saying is right. You may not agree with what MLT says but that is life. I have no idea whether the Daily Mail's story is true but if current SFC players do not turn up to the celebrations it will be a shame and a pretty strange situation

Southampton set for £50million takeover bid from Middle East (Daily Mail)
John B replied to .comsaint's topic in The Saints
I have no idea if this report is true but I do agree that SFC is a good investment and ML got a bargain To progress in the PL we need a lot of investment which ML may have paid out but I am not sure his family are that committed so an Arab Owner could possibly be a good thing but who knows what is going to happen. So I am not anti any takeover -
The only thing I would like to add is that at the moment we need to watch what Huddersfield are doing as they have a relatively easy end of season
-
Peterborough have scored 45 goals at home this season in 15 games and let in 32 We have scored 23 goals at home in 14 games and let in 9 so whats the problem?
-
I think posters should be realistic that we are not going to win all our remaining games nor are our rivals Four points from two away games is a good return and we have every chance of getting promoted The bookies agree too http://bettingzone.oddschecker.com/football/english/league-one/promotion
-
Seems to be a hell of a game Every time I log on there is a goal
-
Although the squad is pretty good it is not really much better than it was when the Window opened and numerous posters said it was not good enough for promotion So I would rate the window 5/10
-
I am not sure that is the case he obvious has potential but I would suggest that £10m is slightly over the top. With regard to Carroll strikers are always worth a lot and he has played for England but £35 m does seem a lot
-
That maybe true but he did not look and has never looked to me a £10m player perhaps one day he will
-
A model professional footballer talks sense unlike some posters on here. Yes we did slow down it was quite obvious and Man U got on top and scored twice. Other teams in League 1 do the same when we play them
-
Yes I agree but I now think we do need a new set of strikers if we are to perform well in the Championship
-
Does it matter where their fans come from they are a great club with a great tradition of winning. We played really well for long periods but they had class players up front we had Lambert and Barnard who tried had but had no pace
-
Sorry no Butterfield was better than Harding he had to defend as well as attack but both played really well
-
I doubt that we will catch Brighton and unlikely to finish second if we lose to Charlton Peterborough and Bournemouth. The team does not seem to win the pressure games which I think the next game at Exeter is so we are probably in for an interesting three months
-
I think it is just down to the money PL League clubs are being sensible offering money up front plus addons as nobody knows how OXO will develop
-
Yes it is a free newspaper Cannot see Arsenal paying £10m up front not sure he is worth that Dont really want Arsenal to be ****ed off with the club as they have so much talent we could loan in the future
-
Yes I think he will be away not a bad thing if his transfer fee is spent well unlike when we sold Alan Shearer
