S'aint nothing left ??!?
-
I think most are underwhelmed, its not Ryans fault, I think he'll be solid enough. However, its pretty underwhelming after the losses and 90m in the bank
-
He will play 433 or 4231 as its the system that the academy uses and that has been recently coached as well as those used in friendlies
-
Unless women have a lower mean of intelligence ?

Im pretty sure id be more raging if I was the other teams, they are usual miles off
-
Whats that ? One a season or so for how long ?! Not over a short period of time In memory aswell Ive not remembered so many players prepared to burn all bridges with the club and fans in order to force an exit. Aswell as talk of unrest. As I keep saying, its not necessarily the outgoings, its the manner of them
-
Im not having you believe anything you muppet just providing info, if others choose to blame the clear disruption in camp as players just trying to move on its up to you. Carry on with the obsession though DPS its flattering
-
What is his issue with us ? Clearly dislike there
-
Ive said enough, and there is enough evidence out there from the players, joirnalists and other posters. Stick your head in the sad if you want, I cant be arsed to go through it again.

They'll always be a club to support bud, but it helps to know whats going on at the training ground to form an opinion
-
Having known members of staff both board and players he was interested in his own pockets before anything else
-
The key to keeping any top player is world class catering
-
Ill happily admit im wrong if I had to, in the meantime Im struggling to see any positives, only that maybe the board are learning what a poor job they are doing
-
I dont think parking charges and ticket tax quite add up to this boards monumental **** up TBH
-
No it doesnt
-
These are players that have bled red and white for the past few years, all have had opportunities to move on, so whats changed ? The players or the situation ?
-
Definately something wrong in football yes. Read post above re the exits. They could also have helped by better comunicating in the 6 months towards the end of the season and attempting to prove a semblance of ambition
-
Shaw was always going to go, possibly lallana but the rest should have been firmly told no, atleast until replacements were brought in or over an extended timeline. The dressing room was already in a state of unrest, now they are watching others leave, further disrupting moral. Its no surprise whats going on and morgan wants out, I dont personally blame him
-
Because there cant possibly be anything wrong with the great southampton football club....
-
Oh no.... Everything is going so swimingly
-
No its just money apparantly
-
The thread for people who want to say sorry to the board
Smirking_Saint replied to berkshiresaint's topic in The Saints
Ive said Ill ultimately make my decision come september 1st, dont see any reason not to wait -
Well, the situation is a ****ing mess but if they stop the exodus now.. Well.. It may.... MAY.. Be manageable however now Krueger has said on the record that MS and JR are not going anywhere then I will be livid if they go.

This really, I dont buy Guideds waffle at all. Look at any comparative clubs sponsorship income the last two years and we are their with the other mid sized clubs. Also corperate entertainment was selling ok. You cant and dont build big revenue streams in the championship. Surely however if you are attempting to bring in more sponsorship and corperate revenue streams the demolition of the prized assets isnt a particularly intelligent way to go about it. The financials show our wage bill was not massive by any stretch of the imagination and another top ten finish would have brought in a further 60m payout in the form of tv revenue and so effectively paid off the playing debt (of which were hardly groundbreaking lets be honest) This arguement is wishy washy at best and another aimed at passing the buck to the ex chairman from the new.

Two question that those crucifying the board need to answer
Smirking_Saint replied to Rasiak-9-'s topic in The Saints
To be honest its as bad a viewpoint as calling out the wristlitters, if you think we genuinely couldnt do anything about outgoings Im afraid you are just plain wrong, and if you think its a realistic scenario to lose 6 maybe 8 1st team players then I dont even know where to start. Never mind the head burying over blackmore, countless posters on here and a few of the players coming out and questioning ambition, communication and dressing room unrest. There is certainly a big level of money and moving on here, but ultimately its the manner within which players seem desperate not to play here thats worrying me. I said before this will be a very difficult situation to manage as a lack of bullish behaviour from the board will alert other clubs and pretty much put the players firmly in control. We have managed it very poorly and are in serious trouble
