Batman

yet none of her strategies took us up. it was nasty nics show

oh there is. a couple of the uglies have the 'greatest respect' for the board and KL Big fat stuey is fully behind this lot and glad clotese has gone Turkish will see this and post a lovely message in Stu's defence, anytime now

what can we do when CL clubs come calling oh....

hillarious stuff Yet you have one or two on here and the uglies that were so camped in the anyone but cortese that they will not ciriticse the board now

fecking hope so

you dont have to believe me ify ou dont want to just keep your head in the sand. or better still, see a couple of signings come in and have your belly tickled

No. I dont pass on the stuff from him, on the main board

what disgusting abuse is there?

he talks abotu being rolling in it as if it is his money. as for Koeman, his playing reputation means little as a manager in england.

apparently MP and his family love/loved the area and that was very important to him

MP was very keen on staying and planned as such. he even started a new rent on a large property in the area not long before he decided to leave. he had zero communication with Ralf and Kat about their intentions for this season. all he had was les reed going on about how comfortable he was about it all. when it became clear he was off, the board tried to persuade him to stay with a very large contract offer (all but matches his salary at spurs) but the rot had stepped in and he did not like the new direction that literally everyone is up for sale. that is pretty much what happened There is more, Lallana (at the request of the players) approached the board numerous times regarding player bonuses and contract promises etc. He (and the squad) was met with silence. This was on more than a few occasions, hence the talk from morgan and co demanded the club show their ambition. That was not for CL but to consolidate and their plans for the next season and beyond. The squad was prepared for Luke to go, for huge money, They wanted assurances that that cash would be used to strengthen the rest of the squad and player contract issues sort and their bonuses paid. again, no idea if the above is true. From my ITK source at the club oh, 1 in this week at least with loads of spin about how we are on it, bringing players in to build the squad for the future

we are open for business, we are open to offers for everyone. That is quite clear

and never ever going to happen we will start this season, considerably weaker than what finished last season

Just had a facebook message from my mate who works at the club and he is saying Ronald's brother is considering his position in order to take up a job back in holland. That is the rumour he woke up to that is doing the rounds with his staff colleagues. Have no idea if true. Just passing it on

Doesn't need to be. The poor morale alone can be a killer. Norwich had a better squad than many last season yet looked beaten most weeks Palace looked dead and buried until Pulis came in and motivated the squad intro shape

Big Adam on twitter adamant that Cortese has left a huge vacuum. May have been a nightmare to work for but was a very strong leader of the club. Stating the obvious that we seem rudderless at the mo

Can only assume Koeman is cool with this all as les reed stated, quite clearly that no player comes in or out without the managers say so.!!!!

5/1 on some sites

they obviously do, hence the statement in the link

how has chambers pushed to leave what do you think would happen to a kid had we said no?

IMO, they did enough to spin it long enough for so many to believe that it was nasty nics fault. for anything and everything talk of new era's of openness, 'financial difficulties' etc etc

now 5/1 on some sites

it is, more to follow we must be one of the favourites to go down now

but we are in the big league with ridiculous TV money measuring us up against Blackpool should be no barometer, should it

yeah, cheers Kat. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/content.php?502-Openess-Tradition-and-the-Southampton-way
