Stubbed his big toe on the kitchen table. I kid you not

Ralph should save his breath. Obafami is not good enough whatever his attitude is. He's 2 leagues above where he would regularly score.

The club have said in the past that selling players at a profit is policy. That's a fact. And yes players will leave for bigger clubs and more money, you cant stop that . But when the club assembles a group of players based on what they think they can sell them on for, rather than assembling a group of players to create an effective team you're going to run into problems, and we have.

I'm with the committee if they are against half-and-half scarves. And anybody wearing a replica shirt anywhere other than in the bedroom should have a 5 year banning order. Minimum.

I'm not really having a pop at him, my beef is really with the owners/ board who seem reluctant to change course. More buying young prospects with the idea of selling on at a profit; which is what got us into this mess on the first place.

My point exactly. Everyone of them sold at huge profit before Southampton FC could benefit from their brilliance. That's the Southampton way, as opposed to The Leicester way which is unearth top players and invest in them and win something.

I guess it depends on your definition of 'worked'. If you mean unearthed/developed exciting new players to he sold at profit to Liverpool you might be right. Maybe I'm alone in wanting a bit more. Leicester didn't win the premiership by being a feeder club.

Smacks of an appointment with minimal research. Of all the potential DoFs in the world the best is someone already known by the club. What a surprise. So when we need new ideas because the last stratedgy failed, we're back to the Southampton Way. More recruiting any young player we think we can turn a profit on and little regard for building a team. Typically disappointing.

And the revolving door continues.

Have we won 5 in a row since being back in the Premiership? I dont think so but happy to be proved wrong.

Not for me. That would be the step too far. You can take the corporate crap and shove it up your soulless backsides. If it were to happen I would take what spare sheckles I have under the bed, and with the aid of crowd funding start a new Southampton FC, wearing red and white stripes, and owned by people from our community. In fact thinking about it come on Red Bull do your worst.

To stand any chance of staying up we need 12 points from that lot. Not sure its going to happen.

Next 7 are properly make or break... Watford H Norwich H Newcastle A West Ham H Aston Villa A Chelsea A Crystal Palace H

Even when we play better than we have all season, even when we're on the cusp of a great victory, this team just ends up disappointing you. Utter bell- ends

It's not the beer that's done that, it's the 'Class A' you sprinkled on your cornflakes this morning.

This exactly. We have few enough heros as it is. LM won us our only ever trophy. And established us as a top flight club when doing so was done by clever coaching and guile rather than relying on a foreign owner laundering money. I dont begrudge him moving on, fir me he always will be a Saints legend.

I thought we were back to Alexander Boris de Piffel Johnson again. LOL.

Or give it to Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson (sic) who could just lie to us all that we're really heading for the Champions League.

I'm with you 100% Eric. A football club is about the community it represents not some corporate crap. I would rather follow Southampton FC is the National league than Red Bull Southampton in the Premiership. Unarguable fact.

Signed. Statue, ambassadors role all good. don't want a stand named after him as i like the geographical relevance of the current names.

With respect that is Cortese's version of events, and he would say that wouldn't he. The truth is significantly different. Marcus wanted to invest in football club, one of his advisors spoke to Cortese, a banker with a background in sports investments, a number of clubs were shortlisted, Cortese was involved in the negotiations and stayed on after. Marcus set the ball rolling not Cortese. If he is despised one reason would be the rewriting of history to make himself look good. NB: 6 years out of the game and nobody has seen fit to employ him despite AC Milan and others desperate for his 'midas touch'

Good luck to him, he did a good job. I wish he and the Echo could have been a bit more critical of the club when criticism was needed, but I guess when they rely so much on the goodwill of players, managers and chairmen you can't be too honest.
