Matthew Le God Posted 27 June, 2014 Share Posted 27 June, 2014 Just wondering? If its because of players being sold, have you considering waiting to see who they are replaced with? In any case, Saints can't offer players Champions League level wages and a good chance of competing for Champions League football. We have a number of players good enough for that level, but not enough to get there ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still can, but it'll take time and good player recruitment building up the squad quality over a number of years even if star players leave.

100%Red&White Posted 27 June, 2014 Share Posted 27 June, 2014 Here we go again. If, after the the past few years we've enjoyed, you lose your backbone in these situations then football really aint for you. It's always like this for most football supporters, best go find another sport. Or you can stick your chest out and go again getting behind 'your' club?

simo Posted 27 June, 2014 Share Posted 27 June, 2014 I think it's more about principle than anything if the club were open and honest about it all people would be less ****ed off I've had the same thoughts there are grounds (product vastly inferior to when you paid, atm anyway)!

UpweySaint Posted 27 June, 2014 Share Posted 27 June, 2014 Meh. Some clubs do offer to refund tickets for disgruntled fans but I would be amazed if that happened here! Doubt we'll even get the £2 booking fee taken off the matchdays ... Honestly though I understand the frustration, gutting to see our teams core ripped apart but just think where we were not so long ago ... We still have quality internationals, money to spend, the best academy in the country and a promising manager with genuine pedigree. Next year might be more about consolidation and rebuilding , we may even find ourselves closer to the bottom and the top ... but worse things happen! Besides your ticket price might get you a view of the next bright young things off our conveyor belt (Targett, Sims, Rowe, McQueen ...) and that is a brilliant feeling well worth a couple of quid. I remember the anticipation in the crowd every time Theo would come off the bench in the early days and scare teams half to death ... you never know that may happen again!

Kingsland Codger Posted 27 June, 2014 Share Posted 27 June, 2014 You bought a ticket to see the Rolling Stones in concert. The ticket was expensive but you were comforted by a statement from the impresario who said everything was going along swimmingly and there would be no cancellations. The next day he announced whoopsy, the Stones can't make it after all; however work was going on to ensure customer satisfaction and provide ticket holders with a different attraction but the deal was take-it-or-leave-it, no alternatives and no refunds ... you would feel a bit apprehensive, wouldn't you? Were you going to get U2? Spandau Ballet? Cold Play? Dido? or Susan Boyle? All have their merits but none of them are what you were originally expecting.

Kingsland Codger Posted 27 June, 2014 Share Posted 27 June, 2014 That's a completely ****e analogy. Maybe - but my original thought was to say a concert by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra to be replaced by the band of the local Boy Scouts. Perhaps I should have stuck with it. The point I was trying to make is that what we will get this coming season might be good but it won't be what we might have expected to see. Unless that is, you were expecting Mr Koeman as manager and the England internationals sold off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minty Posted 27 June, 2014 Share Posted 27 June, 2014 Well as someone else said somewhere else, what we're expecting is Southampton FC. What we'll get is Southampton FC. We should all be big enough, fat enough and ugly enough to know by know that players can come and go and there are no guarantees about who will be at our club. It's part of football. We don't have to like it, but only the most naive buy a ST thinking that nothing will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 27 June, 2014 Share Posted 27 June, 2014 I'm disappointed in you Roger. All the time I've known you, you and your family were Saints supporters through thick and thin. Even in the Lowe era and through the third division. So one or two of the stars we produced get greedy and decide to leave for glory clubs. So what? Surely it is better to wait and see what the entertainment will be based on what the squad is at the time of the new season kick-off. Shaw might have gone, but at least Fox isn't here either.

Mr Reed did this as-near-as-damn-it in his statement of 25 April. "We want to retain the players we’ve got. They are all contracted. They all have existing contracts and we intend for them to honour those contracts". and "Our intention is to keep this very good team together" "we want to keep all of our best players here at this club and build on that for the future" And yet three of our best players have now been sold. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/25042014-les-reed-statement-on-pochettino-and-players-1509755.aspx Like I said quite clearly a few posts above, we were given a clear indication of what we might expect in the coming season (I repeat the words of Mr Reed "We want to retain the players we’ve got" ) and now things have changed. I am looking forward to the coming season, whether it is to see many new faces from abroad, or the kids from the academy being upgraded - but it won't be what we were all hoping to expect, that's all.
