Anything in the glorious papers this morning? Its actually slowly killing me this wait!

Wow! This would be an incredible appointment. And people who don't want him here are deluded and thick.

We'll announce McClaren now lol.

Great interview. We're obviously on the verge of announcing a manager and one with CL experience and one who has won domestic leagues. Koeman surely. All sounds very positive and he said that any players that would go the refunds would be re-invested but any players leaving will be subject to the new managers approval.

It would be so bad that it's clearly a wind up.

Amazing goal scoring record and 6.4ft.

Shaw is better but I think Chambers has the potential to catch him up. Chambers is a much better crosser of the ball.

If we did we would be miles stronger than last season.

Sigurdsson and Moses would be great signings.

Benteke?

Fair play. He's a Saints legend and to remove him from the banner would be idiotic. Best wishes Sir Rickie.

Surely JRod? Could see Davis being a good pen taker. Obviously a new striker may take them as well.

Demba Ba?

Let's get real here we've lost Lambert, probably Lallana and Shaw maybe one other as key players. That will leave us with a region of £60m. We'll have a new manager with a decent sized transfer budget. Look at the dross that finished below us. People need to chill. Let's see who the manager is first before predicting relegation.

So gutted. It's such an end of an era. Couldn't care less about England in this game.

£4m is an utter insult. We will need to spend £10m odd to replace SRL. Totally devastated he's going. Most gutted since our relegation to league one.

Good luck Rickie. You'll forever be a legend at this club and wishing you the best at the WC. Without SRL we would still likely be a Championship club.

Starting to wish I hadn't renewed.

LOL

I'll be devastated if he goes. Forget the fee he is totally the modern day Saints hero and who I was looking forward to most at the WC. Lambert is priceless. Total joke we've become. The board are coming across as utter clowns.

Shaw and Lallana will almost certainly be leaving now.

Sad news but life goes on. Think we are gonna have a different season next season. Now we need to act fast and get a new manager in though I don't have a great deal of faith in the new board. As for McLaren. God no! Would rather have Redknapp over him.

He went to an Everton game at WHL when we were in the Championship.

Seems totally reasonable to me. Fair play and thanks for what he contributed to getting us back in the PL.

No club in the history of football has sold all its players when in a financially secure position after a successful season. One or two maybe but not several players all on long contracts. The papers are total joke.
