Heisenberg

He is a new poster from Kenya! Bloody nice guy and shown some ITK skills too.

Fair play Jimmy D, takes a big man to admit when he was wrong. Respect

Don't be niave mate. The uncertainty will impact a lot of things. Season ticket sales, players futures, potential transfers.

I don't think many are concerned about him being pinched. I agree we need him as much as he needs us. I think it's more following Ralphs comments last week about "learning" and being more decisive and getting things done early. The dragging out transfers and manager situations just confirms that nothing has really changed and it's probably more that, that worries people most. Same old, same old "Southampton way"

Sorry mate. Was just having a laugh. Off season now, not much to genuinely chat about

He cannot post it due to copyright infringements of where said photo was taken. So you'll just have to take my word for it.

Eko said announcement this week. Just be patient

Thanks St C. Out for me (obviously) Club desperately needs some fresh ideas and ambition.

Don't think I've ever had an infraction?

when has that ever stopped us?

You'll have to toughen up Eko. Some proper forum hardmen on this site. If they smell weakness they pounce!! Stay strong brother. Light n Love from sunny Glasgow

He doesn't think you're someone else. He just has very limited banter and charisma

New poll?

I like yoshida but the fact hes now our best CB demonstrates just how far weve fallen

the same Gabbi that had scored just 50 club goals (total) the past 9 years?

Cheers mate. Appreciate the update. Great news and I await the announcement. A new and trusted ITK is born. Light n Love x

^ it is really very difficult to understand so I'll try and help you. If I (Cortese) build a new house (a great house) and then you (Reed) move in and I move out.... It's still a great house. I don't knock it all down and tell you to start again... I (Cortese) built it so you (Reed) probably shouldn't take credit for building the house... Right? The house is newly built so doesn't need maintaining or TLC initially. The new house should really be good for 7-10 years before any work or repairs are needed... Just don't do anything crazy and the house will be absolutely fine. Les inherited a great house and just needed to maintain it. Instead he set about trying to take credit for building the house and immediately started selling off all the quality materials Cortese had used. Thankfully the original house build was solid so despite some initial asset stripping the house wins a few local housing awards. Fast forward just a couple years and now the house is a mess and Reed has locked himself inside. HTH

Don't underestimate stupid!!

I think the situation Mark wants is Wilson as head of recruitment to work directly with him to identify and sign players. Rather than the current setup which appears to be Reed working with Wilson and deciding what players the manager needs. As seen with the Redmond signing when we had no manager.

Sounds like he's on his last legs.... Could be a great summer

Forum needs good posters with opinions and passion. The fact he's ITK is a bonus.

Seems like EkonOkereke is now a confirmed ITK

We just need to play the hierarchy game. Liverpool take from us as at will as they are bigger so we need to take the best from teams below us in the hierarchy. Prefer that than trying to reform players that joined clubs above us in hierarchy and have failed Some of our best signing (Mane, VVD, Big Vic) have come from clubs below us in the football hierarchy. Get players on the way to top, stop with the 2nd chance type signings

You just get the feeling, almost since Cortese left that management targets have been financial and commercial growth only. Doing well on the pitch seems to have become 3 or 4th priority for the owners and management

Appreciate the news mate. ITKs always welcome. Light n love from Scotland
