  1. The thing that irks me most - and wastes time - in this thing, is everyone feeling the need to 'big up' what a great Saints fan they are. Just me?
  2. @RonaldKoeman: Nice evening with the #Saintsfc fans at the #SolentSaintsForum.
  3. The fan forum ends with Ronald Koeman saying that the toughest player he ever played against in his career was George Weah.
  4. Krueger says the club needs to avoid making losses wherever possible, but they will look at what Swansea are doing, how they are doing it and whether we can do something ourselves.
  5. A fan asks about Swansea's '£25 per away game' limit and whether Saints will be following suit or doing something similar.
  6. Ronald Koeman asked who his favourite manager to go up against is: "Mourinho. Because he's still not winning against us."
  7. Reed says when players say they want UCL football, what they really mean is they want what comes with being at a UCL club. He then went on to say: 'There are examples of players who make those moves and their careers actually plummet. But they plummet on a very healthy pay packet.'
  8. Krueger says that he appreciates the comments about shirt sizing for female fans, it will be noted and the club will look at it.
  9. Female fan asks if Saints would establish a Women's Super League team, and if they can do something about the shirts in the club shop. Les says he is talking to The FA and The Hampshire FA. Says there are three teams with an association to the club, but it's a long path. Saints have now taken over control of the Hampshire FA's centre of excellence for girls. Les says they will develop in the same manner of the academy and that will come to be known as 'Southampton Ladies'. Women's football is in the five-year plan, also.
  10. Fan and businessman says that a lot of doors were 'slammed shut' by Nicola Cortese. He asks if Saints are accessible to local firms? Ralph: "We will never forget where home is." Ralph notes the man's full name and says he will have a conversation with him after tonight about opportunities for local firms to get involved at Saints.
  11. Krueger responds by asking for the full name of the fan, and says he will talk to him and there'll be a phone call to discuss it. Says the club will keep looking at ways to help the travelling support and put things on for the fans that'll be of benefit to the supporters.
  12. Fan now asking if loyalty is rewarded well enough. Drawing attention to the 10% club shop discount for STHs now being limited to just one purchase, rather than any purchase.
  13. Koeman says he would sign a new contract to stay as Saints manager if he's happy, the club is still growing and the team is developing.
  14. Koeman asked what needs to happen at Saints before the end of his contract in 2017 for him to sign up for a longer stay at St. Mary's.
  15. Ralph says Saints will be going to North America in 2016, to coach and teach football overseas and to grow the club's reputation.
  16. Les Reed says he made a five-year plan when the board reshuffle occurred.
  17. Koeman asked if he thinks LvG is too demanding and whether he'd be interested in signing Memphis Depay...
  18. Ronald admits it was difficult for a while when he came to the club, but Fonte was very important. Kelvin Davis, Steven Davis and José were all kept in the loop and helped the club.
  19. Ronald asked by a young boy who his favourite Saints player is. Koeman says that we have a great captain, José Fonte. Says he is really a club man like Kelvin Davis and he shows how family-like the club is.
  20. Next up, a fan asks why the club don't sign players on five-year deals. Clasie & Van Dijk both signed five-year deals this summer. This has been awful, so far.
  21. Ralph says we need to sell out the stadium week-in, week-out, for 'some years' before they'll look at doing anything to St. Mary's. In the meantime, they'll keep investing in the club in other ways and growing it in other areas.
  22. Fan just asked Les Reed, when 'so-called' big clubs come in from Sadio, will he tell them to give us £50m or get stuffed? Les: "Only £50m?"
  23. Thanks for a thorough response! I stumbled upon this deal during a search, what'd you think? http://www.zavvi.com/ps4-hardware/sony-playstation-4-1tb-ultimate-player-edition-console/11160155.html If I'm honest, having read/watched some reviews and spoken to people, the only reason for me to get an Xbox would be to play against my mates online. So... I'm pretty undecided. But this deal seems so good, that it might just swing it for me.
  24. Koeman when asked about potentially leaving Southampton for the Holland job: "No way. No possibility." Went on to say maybe in the future, but he has another year with Southampton after this current season. Criticised the make-up of the Dutch FA, saying it's 'crazy' that there is no football man on the board. Won't rule out managing Holland in future, but it depends on certain things happening in Holland.
