If you can keep your head when all around are losing theirs.......... You simply don't understand that we're a team in crisis and doomed to score a record low points total. ( FWIW, I agree with Shroppie - yours is far too sensible an opinion ).

Well if you expect TTs to help sort things out you will be disappointed ; it opens with a 12.6 Km team TT, and there are 2 individual TTs - the first is stage 10 @ 34.5 km, and the final stage is a 10km TT ( not much chance of any rider making time up over such a short run ). As usual it will be a climbing all-rounder's race with just 5 'flat' stages as opposed to 13 lumpy ones, several of which finish uphill on cat-1 or HC climbs.

It's KL's club and money, it was never Cortese's.

Moan, whine, repeat.

Is that what we do now with the ones we can't sell ?

Sod it ! Anybody willing to lend me some razor blades ?

Don't you know we are club in crisis, and in the midst of a fire sale ? Look at it logically, all he has done is put himself in the shop window - he'll now be linked to Liverpool and Arsenal in the Sunday papers.

Players have no loyalty these day, they are led by the nose by their agents. Expecting them to honour an agreement is a forlorn hope.

How much effort is required for that ?

Presumably he has to agree when players leave ?

And what happened to Puncheon ? Didn't we sell him - for less than £2Mill ?

Let's wait until the transfer window closes and assess how we stand from there.

And how do you know they didn't, or that RK looked at it, altered it ( adding Pelle, Tadic, and possibly more ), and passed it back ?

And if that is how they feel, what will the fans do about it ?

5 weeks to go yet.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-28481996 " Since 2008, the population has grown by more than 2.5 million and the number of people in work has gone up by 1.1 million. That means that while GDP has returned to its pre-crisis level, GDP per head and GDP per worker are still well below that level, which means that productivity is also down. Lower productivity is reflected in a fall of about 9% in average earnings since 2008, adjusted for inflation" "The income of the median household (that's the household for which half of households have a higher income and half have a lower one) has fallen by about £20 per week, after adjusting for inflation, since 2008. The household at the 90th percentile (that's the one for which only 10% of households have a higher income) has seen its income fall by about £60 a week. At the other end of the spectrum, the household at the 10th percentile has seen a £2 per week increase"

" I believe that in 2 weeks, we will have made some good signings, sold Lovren for an superb profit, and hopefully Morgan will be impressed enough by our new recruits to stick around."

The First Great Train Robbery

If the Don were still at Saints then any player saying 'my head is in Liverpool' would likely get the response 'Where do you want the rest of your body buried ?'.

They could easily lose their new manager before the end of the week, that would be a shorter tenure than Appy managed at Bloomfield Road, and mean that he would have managed 0 competitive matches.

This. How many did we sell in the last 7 days ?

Liverpool and Manchester United have offered 3 of our players wages and fees that we would be unable to get anywhere near. Yes they were sold, but how on Earth were Saints to hang on to AL & LS and keep them sweet ? Would you rather we had refused to let them go and left something malignant gnawing at the spirit of the team ?

And we could, potentially, have lost all those we are going to, and brought in 5 or 6 to strengthen the squad. It's all speculation, and we ( for some reason ) are the current target for lazy journos.

My son's Grammar has had to become an Academy to survive - still keeps itself as a boys only selective entry school however. I agree with you, I cannot understand why Grammars are so unacceptable to the Educational theorists.
