wouldn't it be nice for the club to maybe look at the sales history of different kits from previous seasons to get a better indication of how the fans liked them in general. Decent kits would have higher pre-order numbers and higher sales numbers towards the start of the season, worse designs would sell more when offered on sale. Is that to logical? No doubt the kit will look worse than many concepts that do the rounds

He has since reposted the image saying 'Concept from'

Personal opinion, the amount of money they are paying Everton, I cant see them paying for Saints too given the current going rate

Hummel supplying Everton, so I guess that would be a non-starter IF we do drop UA early. Also saw this on twitter:

The only thing we have in common with the other teams in that article is we play in red and white already. RB like to buy clubs from the lower leagues with little to no history - although they did 'aparantly' look at Leeds i think a Premier League team is too rich an investment upfront for RB. Would love the ambition they would bring, just feel we are to 'big' a club for them to buy

As in youve heard a different name or that things must have changed because the club have made a decent appointment in Steve Walsh?

Any mention of a name? Is he coming from another club?

do you think there is a possibility Gao will be forced/look to sell the club? Should we be concerned for the future of the club? Is Gao the Chinese Rupert Lowe?

I think looking at other shirts from UA this season the collar might be different to this also

I saw this on twitter, asked the guy if the homw shirt was like the old flybe sponsored shirt with the black strip across the shoulders. He replied saying it was similar but more block like and confussed. Also confident they will be out friday - which is way to early for saints usual release. I guess we will see at the end of the week

Anybody heard what is happening with the sponsorship? Virgin Media deal has come to an end, they wouldnt rule out a change of main sponsor

would people rather buy a player just for the sake of making a signing? If there is no real option to bring in a player for the right money this window, then surely the club should keep the funds for the summer when lets face it we will be having a huge clear out. Some might lable it a fire sale but when its players who are already behind the young players in the pecking order surely its sensible? reduce the wages spent on players who dont get near the first team. Frees up a large amount of wages for young up and coming players. Che Adams rumoured to be happy with 35k a week. How much have we wasted in wages on those out on loan?

think its funny that people would rather argue with somebody whos passing on info, instead of taking it for what it is! can i guess from your reply that the 'ins' you are not mentioning are: Lookman Drinkwater Poulson to be fair id take any of those

Except we would be bottom at christmas and the championship becomes a reality. Hughes should never have been given a contract. In the same way that Pearson did a decent job but did not get offered a long term deal iirc. Tadic did most of the work to keep us up at the end of last season and other teams being somehow worse. We have half of the points than at this stage last season. we need 32 points from our 25 remaining games. weve managed less than that in our previous 38

This could be complete BS, however i will pass on what ive been told as it seems to make sense of a few things..... Supposedly from within the family/friends of Ings - At liverpool they trained basically 9-5 every day of the week. At Saints Hughes has the squad training 10-2 and gives them a day off here and there if he feels theyve done well. Hughes is liked and respected by the players as a person, but NOT as a manager. As i said could all be BS but does explain why they all look so unfit and tired all game. A pro footballer should be able to play for more than 20 minutes without looking like hes just finished the london marathon

somebody either has a lot of time on thier hands or theres something going on

they are still sponsoring trophy hunters and are pushing the brands hunting range online. I appreciate we have way bigger issues deep rooted in the club, and to be honest this was more of a light hearted attempt to have an adult conversation about something other than the standard gripes. Clearly there are some who will decide to make a sarcastic remark - feel free to carry on. At the end of the day its a forum, they are intended for fans to discuss things about the club we all support

Am i the only person who believes that we should be putting pressure on the club to end our kit deal with Under Armour? The kits they have produced to date have at best split the fanbase, some have been recieved well, others not so well. This seasons kits are arguably the nicest they have managed to come up with, and i wouldnt want to have a Nike or Adidas template that 10 other clubs share. However, i recently stumbled accross a petition to boycott Under Armour as they are Corporate sponsors of Big Game Trophy Hunting. This is something i feel i do not want my club remotely linked to and the sooner our kit deal expires the better.

flooding the #saintsfc on twitter will also get noticed. the media team will pick up on it very quickly

I feel maybe the board want to use the money to appeal to a possible new manager, wgich as a few have mentioned could easily be on the cards. Maybe new manager is priority number 1, allowing the new man to bring in his own choices?

Is there any news on who his assistants will be?

Clearly im clutching at straws then hoping for tuchel to come out holding the new kit! Must admit hadnt really looked just noticed it had come from sky to start with....

So sky are the only ones really saying tuchel isnt interested, im struggling to believe a firm who runs a betting site, as lets face it, the more money that goes on other candidates the more money they ultimatly earn if it is actually him. Whats to say theyve realised they are set to loose thousands of pounds on the bet, so they distance him from the role and people start putting money on candidates that have no hope

Had a chat with jakes cousin the other day and he said that the club have stuck by him through his injury recovery (similar to jay rods injury) and they rate him quite highly. Also he said they feel he has remaind very grounded compared to some of the other development squad players. His attitude and outlook might earn him a season to prove himself
