what morons some of our fans are, giving Long abuse on Twitter.

We should buy Todd Cantwell who came on for Norwich last night, he is a star of the future. Ok not ready for us yet but...

Like most of our young coming out of the youth now, he is very tidy but the majority of his passes are sideways or backwards.Not driving forward and hurting the opposition

If that is the case fine, but he could have put many other clubs under ML nose. Your dislike of him seems to override the fact it was down to him persuading ML to buy us saved the day. I don't know who released the ML story, but it has never been denied by the family

Screwing local businesses? Did he not let a small local company sponsor our shirts?

i like Carroll, and he is not a bad player.keep him fit and he terrorised defences

there is a difference on this occasion, we had the impression that Walcott had saints in his heart. He made many gestures to give us that opinion. He is a very wealthy young man and Not getting full wages won’t make too much difference to his future. To come back to us and have the chance to be a true hero and embed his name in a clubs fan base could be worth more than money IMO i suggest him come over to the Saints fans getting adulation is now off the cards.

well to sign someone quickly could be, before anyone else takes him, or sign someone quickly in desperation. A bit of both it seems to me, the club also normally try and keep signings secret,but that seems to have gone now as well.

and so if they got rid of MP now, what time does that give a new manager to get someone in. It seems to me that there is no real appetite to spend any money, we have basically what we have got and get on with it attitude

sign someone quickly, lol Every club knows we are after him and so I doubt it is a secret. We had 2 weeks before the window opened knowing that money was coming in, and still couldn't pull a quick deal off.

I think MP was put in charge 5mins BEFORE

Ah yes but don't the Chinese read from the right to the left? this seasons position would be the first they read eg 17th and then last seasons next to it saying 8th 'well done Mr Pellegrino, we are indeed improving'

Ah yes thanks, sorry Morse lol.

Good post

Isn't everyone? If I recall rightly you were very much in with the group who were circling to buy the club when we were in receivership, they didn't come up with the goods but NC got ML to buy us. For all the posturing and anti NC stuff bandied about, we owe him as much as we do anyone that our club survived. It was he who went and put us under ML nose and got him to buy. If not we would not be around anymore as MLT group were the ones who were going to get us, imagine that? So excuse me giving NC some respect, he has been cast as the villain but if you really look at it he is the hero. ML obviously thought he was the man for us, and he was a good judge in my mind. I don't know where the article can be found but I always recall ML and his journey to get to NC to present him the watch (?)even though he was near his death. That tells me all I need to know about how ML thought of NC.

I got the impression that people who are very unhappy with their boss would leave their job, or that he was so terrible he would have sacked them. I suspect the financial dealings and position were only privy to a very small handful of people. If you have that info it is clear that your friends are in the accounting part of the club and highest echelons of that. If not I doubt their info would be 100% correct

CB very few of us know the remit he was given by Marcus. Things pbviously changed when KL arrived and was champing at the bit to get her money in. To me NC did some stuff that was pretty poor but also stuff that was pretty ground breaking stuff. How we had had all the players lifestyles constant, how they got the same sleep patterns home and away,and all that weird stuff that may have made a difference .One thing for sure the team doesn't have the grit and winning mentality that was being installed at the club. I didn't worry if he made ex-players and hangers on pay for their tickets, every penny that comes in ca be used to improve our team. I don't get the case that I go for 50 years paying fullprice and a bloke who used to work at the club who was very well rewarded (overpaid a lot of the time) then feels a right to a free ticket. Especially as most of them would leave at the drop of an extra fiver

why cant you share?after all you are making accusations about him.

well please tell me where something is there, whenyou are 2-1 up 5 minutes to go and you can kill the game by making 2 subs.Thus breaking up any momentum Watford had, it has been done to us countless times, and is one of the most obvious things a manager can do

Puel was wrongly sacked and the fans who think he is no good know SFA. All those wanting rid of him certainly were happy watching us at Wembley and being part of one of the best cup finals in years, let alone the start of making us a decent team again. Anyway it is history and pointless at picking at the scab. I feel cheated that I cant see how we would have progressed under him

Walcotts desire to play under Big Sam lol Ive never heard that one before. Walcott is just another who thinks about money first, all his clapping the fans and his perceived love of what we did for him, is just another bit of greedy footballers nonsense.

taken separately both statements could be seen as true, if indeed he does suffer with odour. If it was said and used as a slur then that is unacceptable

I wonder if in the boards former lives, that they were purveyors of milk and took so long in deciding what to do they invented cheese.

He did so much for black players, especially for someone like me, a white Southampton kid who knew at that time perhaps only one or 2 black people. I had the utmost respect for him and I always feared his footballing skills when he was against us. Sadly it was a time when the crowds would racially abuse black footballers and shameful.

Very sad, I know not a Saints player but he was hell of a player to watch
