This, I would like to believe; it would help confirm to me that the Argentinian Cowboy has been behind the destabilisation of Saints this summer as many have suspected. Seriously would Morgan really move to anywhere other than a CL team especially as that sees to be a minimum requirement to be considered for the French national team? I imagine he has been asked to stay until January then he can move to Arsenal.
-
... but we have enough money to buy Shaw from Manchester United, promising lad no CL experience, one England cap but never won anything but who knows he may turn out to be a future star
-
So, Morgan & Jay are staying! We should be pleased at keeping our own players under contract? No timing on the new signings???????

The obvious repost to this is that the financing of Chelski, Manure, Liverpool and ManC are nowhere near sustainable, in other words if we demand success in football these days we must expect out of control budgets and massive debts secured against future income. Cortese surely was only doing what was obvious to him from watching what the other top clubs have been doing for years to BUY success and not just in this country. I doubt there is one regular CL team that hasn't racked up debts in the £100 millions and growing year-on-year. Laudible and idealistic as sustainability sounds, balancing the books has no place in modern top flight football and if this really is our new mission then we will probably never achieve it because the inevitable outcome will be cheap players, poorer standards and relegation leading to loss of income from TV, smaller gates, lower income and so on through the whole vicious cycle once again. There can be no such safe haven as comfortable mediocrity. Still if the report is true then we have effectively been told there is nmo money to spend, the family silver has paid for the crumbling fabric.

So how many of you are really washing your hands of saints?
Charlie Wayman replied to doddisalegend's topic in The Saints
It doesn't help our fortitude when the only communications coming out of SFC on the OS at this time of evidently mounting crises is yet another push to sell us something, today it is tickets for the Liverpool match. Now a lot of people clearly do not want to stop supporting Saints and understandably so but supporters could show some solidarity in the face of the rape of our club by refusing to buy merchandise and tickets, which only passes more of our very hard earned income into the Black Hole that is SFC's bank vault. Let's see some willingness on their part to spend some of it in the way that has been promised repeatedly they would but so far have failed to deliver on that pledge. Purely the deep gut feeling of this very long standing fan but I doubt they really have any intension of spending any of it and it seems quite probable now that no more incoming activity will take place this transfer window. As many have pointed out on here, how come if one of out players expresses a wish to leave they are sold and the deal completed usually in about three days flat. Only a fool must be know still believe the insulting spiel-crap emanating from Reed. -
It soon will be, it's only 21 days now to ko

Les Reed or to give him his full title Mr Reed said also he was great buddies with Mr Pocchettino, that they had a great understanding and were very much together on the way forward, so Mr Reed's opinions must be judged by that. For my twopenniesworth, Koeman must be well Effed off with the disintegration of our club and sufficiently distracted by all the shenanigans as to be totally distracted from the business of running the first team properly. The realisation that he has been handed a poison chalice must have hit him hard by now. It will not be surprising if he leaves very soon. I would in his position.

Yep! It'll ring pretty hollow if we're 10-0 down at HT

asset stripping, aiming for 7th, or relegation?
Charlie Wayman replied to NickG's topic in The Saints
If you believe this my friend you really are way with the fairies. Putting gloss paint on a rotten door won't stop it falling off it's hinges next week. The club must love people like you, saves them the job of employing expensive PR to try to spin their way out of this decietful mess. -
This, except there will be no KL years as the selloff of the rump company will follow quickly after the asset stripping ends. The only other plausible explanation is that SFS as a company is incorporated in a division of Liebherr that has made huge losses and this cash call was made to restore balance to the books. Had it been the other way round of course SFC would likely have been wound up.
-
Even Koeman is ducking the questions on transfers now. What on earth do the Premier League authorities think about all that is going on here, surely they must be curious enough to initiate some kind of investigation. If we smell a very bad fish, surely they must do so as well. The wholesale destruction of one of last year's leading brands cannot be good for them. Thank goodness people with some clout like Gary Neville are beginning to speak out. What can / should we do? Sitting on our hands has not served us well all summer as we have stumbled form one disaster to another. We the fans must act and a mass march from SMS to the Civic Centre will catch the TV eye and highlight our concerns and embarrass the idiots upstairs into having to explain what the hell they are playing at.
-
Or is it a way of signalling to the player just how highly valued he is?
-
The club seem to have woken up to the fact that without Morgan we are in a relegation scrap
-
Obviously none of you guys read the Echo a couple of days ago when they reported that he was about to be given a new contract and made on-field Captain by RK which seems to have been more a tip off than speculation. Would you even contemplate moving to a tin pot Championship team that would drop you like a hot potato the minute they ever got a sniff at the PL again, which of course they won't. Jose, he ain't going nowhere.
-
Good to see Gaston and Lovren joining in at last, just Wanyama and Schneiderlin to come
-
Unless of course it is a long term investment paying back 15x the Premium when he is sold on. Joking of course but goalies rarely reach their peak until their late twenties so this boy will be no threat to Cropper, not sure about Gaazzaniga 'though! It says also that we don't have any good young goalkeeping lads in the Academy...
-
Only 24 days to go, Mr Reed.
-
How can we help but love you? Positivity seeping from every pore of your body puts most of us to shame even on a good news day.
-
Then you are surely one of the most misguide people on here. MS is the only visionary game changer we have, every time he ha sheen injured or suspended we have struggled no matter who else was in the team. HE is INDISPENSABLE!
-
What transfers (as per the heading)? We are faced with a wall of silence, a few platitudes from RK otherwise nothing on incomings and even less on outgoings. It's no good asking "What's going on?" since clearly nothing is! Come on PR machine, get your heads off the pillow and get into action. As I read it everyone wants out and no bugger wants to come in as a result. If we are to be entertained to Championship football next year at least give us some warning or are we supposed to work that out for ourselves?
-
My advice to Jos... "Get rid of the facial hair, get serious and RK may yet turn you into a half decent player. Focus & Concentration are key"
-
You didn't mention Morgan who will be back soon and if Lovren is still here in August he is sure to play.
-
In total agreement with you... for once! ;-)
-
Bloody hell, you're at it again. Everything you write is negative and depressing. What have you got against Saints to make you hate them that much?
-
My guess is that Lovren and Schneiderlin will be asked to stay until December to help stabilise the Club and to see how things go under the new manager from their point of view. That should be enough time to find and secure decent replacements if they do decide to go and more importantly to see if we really do have the basis of a serious new project. What could be a fairer solution for all parties? If at that point they decide it is not for them then they will be allowed to leave with our blessing and not a small amount of goodwill from the club and fans for at least giving it a go and not plunging us into an abyss in August. After all surely they must have some feeling of responsibility towards the club for what it has done for their careers... i.e. given them a platform to show their skills and come to a position of prominence.
