Indeed and why do they not put the kit design to this supporters panel thing they have set up - show them a few designs or get suggestions ? its not bloody difficult

well yeah absolutely

what do you suggest doing with red and white vertical stripes ? It is what it is, they are either wider or they are thinner but end of the day Southampton wear red and white stripes. You want to make them horizontal instead ?

When does this deal with UA as shirt suppliers end ? Their Saints branded leisure and training wear is bloody expensive as well

He is involved

Well sorry but I dont dislike the home kit. Love the away yellow and gray one.

well said. All said and done it lasts for one season, its not like the 70's/80's when a new design shirt lasted three or four seasons. Like everything else these days its almost instantly disposable after what ? 10 months ?

yeah bit embarrassing for Sky too as they fell right into that “best fans in the whole world” trap......they didn’t look it when all that was kicking off, classy really classy stuff.

sit down with fans and ask them what they think ? oh no, no, no we can’t be having that, far too sensible

wheres that video of TCWTB and his mates singing about Pompey going up while we are going down? Wrong, wrong, fkin wrong

we have had buttons on shirts before, the Sanderson sponsored shirt from 96 springs to mind. Buttons aren’t new, niether are collars with them

That’s ok actually

Oh it has a whiff of intrigue about it for sure but there are a fair few guns being jumped at present. They are paying the club money for the honour of advertising them, not the other way round.

Am I missing something here ? Are they not merely a sponsor ? Therefore unlike say, oh i dont know, an owner, they cant actually take any money or anything (except the ****) out of the club, they dont have a say on how the club is run or anything (like Virgin media didnt) like that. Dont they purely pay the club a sum of money either upfront or over a three year period to advertise their name on the front of a shirt ? If they dont cough up the contract is null and void and the club, with a degree of egg on the face, look for another sponsorship deal. So why the cries of "foul, this stinks" ? If it does its not the end of the world, its not like we have some dodgy owner........

and? We have had away kits that have been blue, yellow and blue, dark and light blue.....

Thats where his heart always was isn’t it ?

with all due respect any manager who can turn Redmond into the player he’s become since Christmas, make Ward Prowse perform much better, get a team that looked like it was doomed out of the mire with wins against Arsenal, Spurs, a draw away to Chelsea and a couple of very decent performances against Liverpool at home and Man Utd away has got something about him. Make no mistake, the squad he’s inherited is average at best, their weaknesses are there for all to see. Complete faith in Ralph to address that and get a team firing again.

Not to mention nobody in the current squad is remotely good enough for what they want now

That’s the one they wanted. They will go nuts if they win Champions League of course but the league title is what they really want.

Poch, Wanyama and Toby or Van ****, Lovren and Lallana. Easy choice for me, Spurs all the way......just for the one night of course

same but I can’t work out who that would be

well they are right

He will be gutted

That does kind of confirm he will be here next season yeah

Good to see Romeu and PEH have given to the cause
