Difficult to provide proof without giving sources out, but it is true. The proof is in the pudding, very disappointing season, Won 13, lost 9, no draws. Some of the performances were very poor, lack of a plan a or b, and an exodus of players by their choice, 1 players family member put out a damning tweet, which was subsequently taken down.

Management team promoted beyond their capability and believing their own hype, no respect - actually more like disrespectful of players

Financials are competitive I believe, however respect is a 2 way thing

Talking with some in the know, the team got where they were because of the quality of the players not her, lot's of discontent amongst the players as training was bad and no tactics or plan.

Great to see Kayla Wendell and Ella Morris be called up to England U23's. Both have been with Saints from a very young age and still only 19 so a promising career ahead

You can knock off a 3rd of your £30k and you'll be around what the top earners will be on

Off to the US I believe and quite right that other haven't stayed as it would mean a big salary cut from their current job

That's my girl! 🙂

Yes but they don't have highlight of every game, features etc. Agree that updates should be an easy thing for them to start though.

The Saints web site does have reasonable coverage - https://www.southamptonfc.com/women#news-feed with highlights etc, there is also an independent Twitter account here:

Not sure about the Women's team, but Saints stopped supporting the girls academy when Rupert Lowe came back to save money. Hampshire FA then took the academy over until around 4 years ago Saints brought it back in house and started their own team. Many of the 1st team now have come through the academy system and should have been promoted last year but for covid......

As the title says, Saints are streaming's the home game on Sunday, if you've nothing to do worth watching a winning team!

It was my me and my two girls who Matt spoke to on Saturday night. He was a complete gentleman and totally down to earth and spent a good five minutes chatting to the kids one after the other. He asked them loads of questions and made their night. They've both gone to school this morning itching to tell their teachers and friends about what happened. Do you think they care whether Matt had a flutter on what time the ball went out for a throw? All they know is that their favourite Saints player ever could be bothered to ring a 10 and a seven-year-old from Dubai. Hero? Too bloody right he is.

Wrong link? I can't see anything about signing anyone...
