We aren’t worried about the money. When we needed to buy players in case we lost them Dragan put his hand in his pocket. I suspect we want to keep the bigger clubs guessing.

Yes but his job is to oversee the Sports Republic rosta. Again as he was supposed to do last season until Joe Shields walked out on us. If you bothered to watch the excellent Jason Wilcox interview he specifically said that Saints will not sign any players unless Wilcox and Martin agree. Can’t be any clearer than that. Dragan also said in a recent interview he could have focussed more on Saints last season. Don’t forget Sports Republic isn’t his only business. He is obviously rectifying that.

Thanks for the replies 👍

I’ve been checking up on The Hundred. Southern Braves are first game on August 1st at Trent Bridge. The same day The Metro Bank One Day Cup starts on the same day with Hampshire at The Ageas Bowl. James Vince is playing for The Braves for example. what’s the point of another cup running at the same time ?

Also medical emergencies in the crowd stopping games is really unhip. Although I’m sure Le Tissier claimed at the time they were caused by vaccinations.

Two games for goodness sake. It’s obvious we will sign more players.

Bohemians being lined up as well. Would make a pretty good pre- season tournament.

The Echo appears to have a genuine football writer now rather rather than copying articles from other papers. Still it’s completely unreadable with all the adverts.

On the App.

Yes all the friendlies are

You must be simple. It was a practice match FFS. Nice and slowly for you. By……the……beginning…….of…..the…….season…….we…….will…….have……played…..more……..games……..and……the……team…….will…be……quite…..different.

If you watched the full interview with Martin he mentioned offloading players and said if they don’t like it they will be dealt with, or words to that effect. I have a feeling JWP will stay but that’s only based on what has been said on here. I do know his missus doesn’t want to move and he wants to play a big part in his nippers upbringing. It’s not just paying a game at Fulham ( for example ) and then spend the rest of the week with his family.

Read up on Dragan. He’s a multi-billionaire for starters he has massive businesses in many of the Balkan countries especially Greece ( I know Greece aren’t Balkan ). SR are buying clubs FFS and has said that will not have any effect on any of Southamptons finances. Yet again I repeat he admitted he didn’t get involved enough last season and will be watching the club like a hawk.

Totally that’s why we’ve quoted very high prices for those two. I mean if the likes of KWP is keen to go to another club we would probably let him go but again he would cost a lot.

It’s been mentioned in many articles. Notably in The Athletics elongated article about our upcoming season. whereas Leicester particularly are in a financial mess.

We don’t need to sell to spend at all. All debts cleared. Plenty of money in the bank. Clearly we need to offload some players but that’s not driving the purchases.

Despite being labelled a Sports Republic fan boy ,last season was a clusterfuck and again Joe Shields really did mess things up.Not entirely on him but a major factor. Slovak has already mentioned in an interview that he didn’t get involved enough in decisions but he won’t let that happen again. I might be a saddo but I’ve watched a lot of his TV interviews he has a commanding presence.Not to be fucked with and massively successful in every business venture so far.There’s a load of shit going down in Serbia and he’s seriously taking on the government. im not trying to be clever I just have had a lot of time on my hands. Temporary health reasons. As for Rasmus his job is ( as it was supposed to be last season) is building up SRs club rosta. Bohemians next apparently, which is only going to benefit Saints. Again Dragan has money put aside for the other clubs he won’t be spending money meant for Saints on them. let’s be honest any Saints fan has literally been traumatised by last season. We have majorly shuffled the board. I’m hugely impressed with Wilcox and Martin in particular . Be patient just because we’ve signed some youngsters doesn’t mean that is our only transfer policy. Im remain confident we will lose our first game ( it’s tradition) and their will be a complete meltdown on here but it’s a long old season and it will make a nice change not expecting to lose our next game all the time. it’s a new Dawn ( yeah OK I said that last season ) enjoy it.

We have plenty of money. Charles isn’t a gamble.

Barcelona is in Spain.

They are just clickbait links I mean Saints Extra ? Since when have they been a news source ? Did we ever get linked with Mane ?

Leicester are skint debated to the eyeballs. Saints are in a miles better position than them , just because little has been announced yet. Do you seriously think Joe Shields would leave Man City for a no hope Club. I swear to god some of this is far too complicated for bedwetters like Dman. For the millionth time the reason last season was fucked up was Joe Shields walking out on us after 3 months leaving an ill prepared Rasmus in charge of recruitment. That was not going to be his job last season.

Utter nonsense that we have to sell before we buy. We have plenty of money and definitely won’t sell any of our top players on the cheap.

That’s spirit pick the only ( minor ) negative comment in a decent interview
