Where does this 115K/week come from then, Mauricio is current earning in the region of 20K a week, ie a million or so a year. He's not going to ask for 5 times that. What he wants is a decent team to start next season. All the rest is ancillary.

Wenger can't be sacked if they lose today, he's out of contract and has not renewed, he intends to though...on Monday.

In fact I think we might expect a major clear-out from the DS this summer, all those who's contracts have come to an end. Far too many not making the step up.

Not necessarily. There have always been tales of a fund set up by the late Markus to see Saints achieve their initial ambitions. It could well be that initially we were funded by that and then it ran out. Seems to me that the -50 million marker was the threshhold point. As I keep telling you all Cortese ran everything lock stock and barrel for nigh on 3 years, then he was gradually excluded from everything. It could be that he and another bloke were the executors and that they had a free rein in some matters.

I think they have a football "advisor", even tried to make him a board member at first, just provoked a hail of WTFs. Josef Lennart rings a bell.

These pay it yourself clauses have existed before, think it was Ronaldo (not CR7) who had to pay his own buy out clause, Nike just advanced him the money. Thus it didn't come from the club he was going to, just one of their sponsors.

Surely Pochettino can't get an offer from Tottenham unless the board permit him to speak with them, it's all very Catch 22. However I presume he has an agent who might well get or have got already the basic outlines of an offer from Tottenham.

It wouldn't make them look like liars, it would make them look like clueless fools. Surely a liar knows what he's saying to be untrue, not sure that would be the case with us.

£180 million ?? Never mind Pearson get us the bloke with the swans.

Liverpool failed to win the PL this last season because they couldn't beat Palace in the penultimate match and were mugged by us at home when they were without Suarez. If they'd have beaten us that day then they would have won the PL. So I'd say that without Suarez being banned for the first 6 games of the season they have every chance of winning the PL.

no tied 18th, when there's a tie that takes up as many places in the order as there are tied teams. so Napoli for instance is 4th and not 3rd

Not to mention those who've gone elsewhere like Fabregas,Van Persie and Song, Arsenal do AOK in the transfer market but they don't hang on to players who no longer want to be there because they believe the grass is greener elsewhere..

How are we ever going to become the Green Bay Packers of football with people venting guff like that, you'll be getting a summons from Uncle Ralph because you're obviously not a team player. :rolleyes:

because he wants to be upwardly mobile, same as most other young men. He'll win nothing with Saints unfortunately..well apart from the JPT that is. Perhaps Gareth has given him a call and told him how it is in megastar,megabucks galacticos land. Perhaps he even believed the Champions League hype eh.

So what someone is trying to tell me here, unless I've calculated wrongly, is that the bog standard Adidas kits that we had last season need more than 4 months lead time is that right ? This is just a we're going for the cheap and cheerful home made but we're telling you that we're going back to a known manufacturer next season so that you won't think we're cheapskate corner cutters. It's Rupert Lowe all over again.

I think she's sitting down actually, probably has to to not make NC look so vertically challenged.

Zaha cost 10 million, he'd probably be wowing them at Old Traff if he hadn't been caught sh*gging Moyes daughter.

Indeed, I just don't think they'll go much higher actually. Not for Lallana. He's best off with us. Thought that was what I said.

About 20 million £ I think ?? He's not worth any more than that seriously. Not when you can buy 2 Coutinhos for that price.

No I'm just not a very big Lallana fan, he's an alright player but to me nothing very exceptional. Shaw I'd certainly take what's on offer. Seriously he isn't worth what they're said to be offering. We need to cash in now or we'll regret it later. I must be the only one, then again I've had a few lessons at the J-M Aulas scool of football economics.

Man Utd had a very foolish manager who was obsessed with a lucky charm player. In fact Fellaini is just the illustration needed to show that a player who looks good in one system might not be in another. Lallana is not worth more than Liverpool are offering. A player might look brilliant because what's about him allows him to. Take Schneiderlin away from Saints and you'll see some very different performances from some players.

The fair price with what's owing to bournemouth will leave us on the iffy side of the ledger. For what his worth really we'll be left with less than 15 million so we might as well keep the bloke if Liverpool (or anyone else) won't really push the boat out. Shaw I really really want to sell, we can get as good for a quarter of the ridiculous sum being bandied about. At his age inconsistency is as predictable as gravity. Little scrubber gives him the heave, he'll be off his game for weeks.

Lallana is not worth 35 million, he's probably worth the 20 or so million that they been offering. Do not forget they paid 23 million for Suarez, 8 million for Coutinho.....if they can't get Lallana for the price they want they'll look elsewhere.

I still get the feeling that he doesn't want to go anywhere, just doesn't want to be relying on Harrison Reed, Sam Gallagher and JWP next season. He's been there and done that, not to his advantage.

And Ajax are going to let De Boer leave for free....I really,really doubt that. If they want a decent manager they'll have to pay, 2million £ is chicken feed to them. Monaco have just paid 5 million, euros for Leonardo Jardim....2 million is cheap for a decent manager. Do not forget that even back in 2001 Spurs had to give us over a million for Hoddle and to think that the clown Burley brought us nigh on half a million from the Scottish FA ...................
