Yes, if Fred Bloggs was only two seasons away from where he scored 22 PL goals. I can't see where else we could hope to get a player who could reach those levels. It certainly won't come from Adams or Armstrong.

As opposed to all the other players we sign who aren't at all interested in money and are just doing it out of a lifelong love of Saints...

A little extra? Isn't Broja rumoured to be going for £40m+???

Or Minamino the Minx?

So what do we think boys? Can Semmens pull out all the stops and excel himself and get a kit out before mid August?

Ridiculous to have stripes on one side only. We need to have them on neither.

2019. 9th August that year and we didn't even have a new kit for the players much less the fans. @Turkish It was "issues encountered during the logo embellishment process" 🤣 https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/2019-08-09/southampton-football-club-new-kit-update-9th-august-2019

Let's be fair Semmens can't organise a piss up in a brewery. It was only a few seasons ago that, never mind the fans, even the first team didn't have the new strip until a couple of days before the season started...

The whole 90s fashion statement was clothes 3 sizes too large. I had a suit that I could take 3 steps in before it moved.

IoW?

Top journalism there.

Well he hasn't improved us at all on the pitch so far as KWP is as good, if not better, than him.

The 'next PL boss to lose his job' market is so small it wouldn't take much money at all to bring a long shot in to much shorter odds.

Depends on if your objective is improving the club's bank balance or improving how good the team on the pitch is.

51-1 with Ladbrokes.

We're currently 3rd favs for the drop after B'muff and Fulham.

Really? I can't see any bookmakers offering that as a treble today. For a start one leg of the treble, Norwich going down, has already happened and most bookmakers are also not taking bets of Watford going down either.

I've put £20 on relegation at a 90-1. I will be happy to lose £20 if we stay up (less than 1/4 of a tank of petrol ffs!) but the best part of 2 grand will soften the blow of this shower of shite taking us down.

The Champ and L1 is littered with clubs who have been on a par with us financially but been relegated from the PL. It's amazing that, bar the big boys, we are now one of the longest tenured members of the PL. It's laughable that some people think we should be sacking the manager given the points we have. The PL is all about money, we will never compete at the top half of the table until we can change our ownership approach. The new lot are just trying to achieve success using the same 'buy for £13m and sell two years later for £60m' approach that Kreuger thought he had mastered with Mane and VVD. The reality is that for every one Mane you might be lucky enough to sign there are about 50 Leminas.

Did you honestly think he'd be sacked? So we got thrashed by one of the big boys. It's happened pretty regularly over the past 30 years... We're a PL club with very limited finances, the only teams we are on a par with financially are the promoted 3, Palace, Brighton and Burnley. We have 36 points with 7 games to go and are 12 points ahead of the relegation spots. We've also had a manager who has been battling since he got here to dig the club out of the financial hole dug by Reed/Kreuger with the tens of millions wasted on Hoedt, Lemina, Carrillo, Boufal, Elywotsit, etc, etc, etc most of whom we have been paying obscene wages to as they jog around the pitch for other clubs. How much did Ralph get to spend in the January window to improve the team? Oh yeah, that's right f'k all!

I see the once Great has now been reduced to giving talks in local pubs for a tenner a pop...

Or just the Premier League. I thought it was just the Yanks who used EPL?

What's the "BPL"?

I watched us play in the Poortvliet/Woote season does that count? Denmark's 3rd kit from last season was really nice.

And Taylor was still playing in the PL 5 years after Jones' final top flight game.
