Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere http://www.wayneleal.co.uk/pdf/The_Times_T2.pdf

this thread needs to be moved back into the rumour post.

Bit premature making this a sticky imo. We are getting desperate for news.

This is a mess of alarming proportions. Reed claims the club couldn't stop Chambers leaving but now Ralph Kreuger is trying to do that with Schneiderlin. There is simply no point in trying to hang onto unhappy players and RK has now dug a massive hole for himself and the club. The naivety is breathtakingly apparent and when Schneiderlin goes (he will) then we and Krueger are going to look really stupid. The time to have made that stand was when Liverpool came sentimentally calling for Lambert, far too late now. An absolute shambles.

Yep pretty well on the money this

FFS sake you are now asking someone to read into the future. Just calm down

So we will await news that Rodriguez is signing a new contract. They may be staying....for another week

Not really I had spent about an hour going through some early takeover threads to find a posting I had made saying as fans we no longer had a say in how the club was run. Needless to say I couldn't find it but I did find some interest in some of the reactions following the news that Liebherr had saved us.

They do St Marco but rarely last longer than 5 years

Florida

The language of the school playground - have you ever wondered why you are so derided? And of course you are the perfect physical specimen?

Well, as someone who was glad NC left and publicly welcomed Ralph (hello Manji) I have to say Crab Lung's post, while hard to accept, has rung very true to me tonight and fits in with snippets that have come my way. But we are now very much dependant on the whim of KL and, for people like Alpine to make so many pathetic personal references (Fat Kat for christsakes) to her is massively counter productive and childish. She owns us, we don't own her. So be very careful. The day we got sold to the Liebherr family was the day we sold our soul. We were all glad at the time to be saved but their investment comes at a price and right now we are paying it. They are decent owners compared to 90% of foreign investors, Cortese raised our expectations without ever checking he had the full financial backing and now it has ended in the tears I predicted.

I met him at the Man Utd game, very pleasant chap but he was lucky to have Berkovic here for that one season and when Eyal left he was never the same player

Cortese would have been nothing without Liebherr cash and that is a FACT

The old European Cup competition was for every winner of every country's league - why was it extended? It will kill club football for 98% of the teams playing in pro football and simply cannot be a good thing.

Gawd you are thick. And whose money would he be using?

To idle the time away a bit of name dropping, but it proves he cares! Things must be bad when you get a call from Lawrie McMenemy in Florida asking what the hell is going on at St Marys. I know he is an old rogue but I can’t help thinking all this nonsense would not have happened on his watch.

rather wash my hands of football in general

Koeman's tweet this morning of an empty training ground says he either has a sense of humour or he is hacked off, let's hope it is the former.

Yes he is as reliable source as any plus he is a fan. This story is also now independently being reported by others, I am sure it has legs and comes as no surprise to me.

I have always wondered why Saints fans (and fans from other teams not in the CL) support English clubs when they play in the Champions League. Their success just boosts their spending power and we all know what happens next. For me I hope Liverhampton, Arsenal, Citeh and Chelski all get knocked out at the first hurdle and maybe then the Prem can be conducted on a slightly more level playing field. The CL is killing the future for clubs like Saints and does not deserve our support.

I must admit this fits in with quite a lot of what I have been told. I know only a few months ago MoPo and his team intended to stay, one of his assistants family were making plans to attend uni here etc etc. I don't think anyone at SFC understands how a club is run in football terms and after losing confidence the players want out. I think the blame must lie with the Board and the person in charge.

#Training anyone seen Koeman's sarcastic tweet this morning?

Not sure KD is really up to speed on the "politics" of what has happened in the last 6 months.
