I'm fairly sure Koeman was also there, working for Dutch TV. That's where his quote came from last night saying that he'd had talks with an English club.

That guy looks awful in his 'highlights' video. If he's a £30m player then we're undercharging for Lallana....

I can't believe Bournemouth are getting anything at all. He's been with us since was 12, must be on his fourth or fifth contract since he came. Sell-on fees ought to have some kind of timescale attached to them, there comes a point where the amount of development made at the current club massively outweighs what came before.

Isn't that Les Read?

Those 2 Super Cups are those country's equivalents of the Charity Shield. I think in both cases he took over clubs that had just won the league. So neither of those wins are particularly impressive.

When did he say that?

Is every sticker in a box unique? I didn't know that, I assumed you'd get duplicates within the same box.

You're assuming the board have any say in the matter. Let's face it, if Lallana and/or Shaw want to leave they'll leave, we aren't going to hold them against their will. I hope they don't go, but if that's their choice then so be it. We should all remember that Shaw could have left before he signed his current contract (and any of the big clubs would have taken him), and all we'd have got is a few hundred thousand development money. Lallana has had other offers as well in the past. Whatever anyone decides to do, it's up to the club to make the most of it.

Yeah I've just got myself a new credit card to buy mine on. Back in the Rupert Lowe days we had to pay for season tickets in March, and we constantly sold our best players so had no idea what team would show up next season. So I'm fairly blase about the whole thing. Whatever will be will be.

Wanyama could easily be a £20-£30m player in a couple of years. I think he's got more potential than Morgan (who is also a bloody good player, don't get me wrong).

Think people are misunderstanding the point the OP is making. In 2003 / 2004 our average crowd was 31,717. This year our highest crowd was 31,659. So despite having quite a few 'sold out' games, none of them even got to our average attendance ten years ago. Yesterday was a sell out, but is was 1,000 less than our record attendance. That's a big difference, they must be counting differently these days.

With the amount of pointing to the badge on his chest he was doing when he walked round the pitch yesterday, it didn't really look like the actions of someone who's about to leave. Regarding joining Liverpool, I think I'd wait to see what happens to Suarez before joining them. Without him this season they'd have been 4 or 5 places lower in the table. If he goes to Madrid, coupled with the extra Champions League matches, they may well have peaked already.

Les Reed was strongly against the idea when they spoke to him at the awards night on Tuesday. He couldn't see how it would benefit our players. It's a stupid idea, it may work in other countries but few countries have such a strong lower league setup as England. Some of the top flight clubs in Spain don't get crowds of much more than 10k, so I imagine lower than that it's 5 men and their dogs.

I actually like that Leverkusen one, it's a lot better than our current shirt. Personally think the Milan kit looks awful. I know everyone seems to hate the kit we have at the minute (I'm not too keen myself), but I do see an awful lot of them out and about. Bearing in mind I live in Fareham, it's the most common kit at the football training my son attends in Stubbington.

That's not exactly gossip is it. They clearly rate Chambers above Clyne, it's been evident all season.

This isn't shops though is it? It's restaurants, a cinema and maybe a bowling alley. If it's true that Odeon want to move out of Leisure World to this site, I'd have thought people would be happy with this idea. The entire West Quay site then becomes something along similar lines to Gunwharf, but bigger and with proper shops instead of outlet stores. As usual when something like this is discussed, you seem to talk as if it's the council investing and doing the work. I don't imagine SCC have £70m knocking around to invest in vanity projects. If they did, then maybe they should reduce council tax instead?

Marrow.

Why do they need a 3rd kit? Surely a club with the community at heart should be able to come up with a home and away kit to cover all clashes. 3rd kits are just a scheme to milk fans of money.

Is/was Terry Crump a teacher by any chance? I had a teacher in Horndean by that name.

There was a mother's day special in hospitality. Tea and cakes (and pink sparkling wine) rather than a full meal, for £95. You could have a private box if there were more than 6 of you.

That may have been the case in the past, but nowadays 90% of the budget gets leaked ahead of time.

I don't understand the assumption that safe standing areas would have lower prices. Capacity remains the same under the safe standing model, but clubs have to make an investment in order to install it. I could actually see them charging more for the privilege.

To be fair he wrote it in the singular.

Are we still planning to bring in a CEO?
