Yes but that was not the purpose of the cap

Seems to be much more than a loophole seems that the whole idea of a wages cap will not work

That is the way I thought as well but the start has been a lot worse than I thought

That is quite true and the Echo thinks players are coming in. But surely is Saga goes we need two more strikers.

OK but I am still not certain about Pardew lets see what happens in the next month. The problem is I am quite positive and expect us to win a few games only to find that we dont.

It is strange last year I knew we were crap and accepted our fate but this year we are in the same position in League 1 unbelievable

Well I went and I did not think the Ref robbed us but I was in the Chapel

Is that an excuse?

No I agree with you and Charlie Wayman on repecting Umpires decisions I was just wondering whether there are really a large number of errors made as suggested by a poster

No I was hoping for 70 points this season 7 or 8 by now

With comments like that I am surprised anyone would want to referee. I wonder really what percentage of decisions they actually get wrong

Possibly they have won more than us like most teams in the Football League

It is only in the top level that technology is used. In County Cricket Premiership Rugby it is hardly used . I thought Ponting was excellent when he must have been gutted after losing the ashes but did not blame the umpires for bad decisions

Probably right but some will move up I would have thought Even at League 1 level they have been through numerous courses and refereed hundreds of games and know the rules inside out

I thought you had a Wotte out campaign going sometime ago. But I do agree with your sentiments that is why I wanted to keep Wotte. Although if managers are not succeeding they should move on if given the chance like Jones and Burley

In other sports the referees are respected more and I feel make far less wrong decisions. I cannot really understand why anyone would want to be a football ref

I totally agree He did say No excuses http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/4570909.No_more_excuses_for_Saints/ That is why my opinion has dipped over the weekend. Fergie and Whinger usually complain about refs

I notice that you do not mention Pardew's time at Charlton and that there were other bidders during administration

That is a rather stupid comment I would have thought as Notts County are in the Promotion places whilst we are in the relegation ones

Totally agree and I dont like him blaming referees either It is diffuclt enough to referee matches without the constant whine of managers.

Answers 1. Where would we be without Liebherr? Somebody else would have taken over 2. How many years did we suffer from debts 3 Poor management 5 Inconsistency 47 3. Do we have a proven manager? Not sure 4. How many teams go out and win everything 5 league games after having a new manager and new owners, a total shakeup of the way the club works Not many but most win some

Not at Southampton but things seem to be better at Notts County and Man City

Bllody hell new strategy no need to start winning until December then?

I dont care about a failing businesses we are talking about a football team. Other clubs bring in a new manager a few new players and then start playing well but not Southampton

You are probably right but I am very positive before each game only to be let down by the result especially as I heard that we were winning at half time
