I hate know-all's but predicted that it would be Swiss Red. 'Twas only a matter of time after all before our foreign owners came out of the long grass and claimed their heritage and ownership. But it's been a good ride and thanks for the memories. Saints are no longer Saints in the way that Man C are no longer Man C and Man U are no longer Man U. Quaint notions of working-class community based football teams representing local people went up in smoke long ago but now we know first hand what it feels like and will be like. You pays your money you takes your choice but you might as well call the team in red Basle FC.

Where I sit in the Itching is now called 'Premium' and has become part of 'Corporate Area' and I didn't have to do a thing! Will we get cushioned seats now?

I'm with Davies as he's never screwed up for Engerland.

What a load of crap!

Why would Green come here? He knows Davies is first choice and no way is he about to play second fiddle to another veteran. He wants a BIG team and BIG money and we don't qualify on either count. Lure of the PL isn't enough obviously otherwise he'd have stayed at WHU. He'll never get past Joe Hart for Engerland so Champions League is the best he can hope for for glory medals to sell on e-Bay later.

Completely underwhelming. Having just paid for my now exorbitantly expensive season ticket, that's it for me, no more dosh to spend on SFC. If the bean counters were pinning their faith on mugging us loyal fans even more, sorry old beans we don't get caught with trousers down more than once!

He is buying the brand not the Nike contracts so it'll have no impact on our shirts

This whole loan business puzzles me. Going out on loan is an euphemism for "He isn't as good as we thought he was so let's see if he will respond to a different manager and set-up (mugs) so that we can off-load him at the end of the season" If you disagree, think back to last year and that Spurs "highly rated whizz" (name escapes me) who played for us only once and then disappeared without trace. Is he now playing for Spurs? Is he Ballacks!

this!

What a load of Ballocks

If you weren't drunk most of the time you'd realise that Guly is a class act. Still there's always one who'll swear that the earth is flat but maybe it is from where you're lying.

If they're not good enough for Pards they're certainly not good enough for us. Why do people on here still thik we have to make do with somebody else's left overs. We want to be top six, right? So, let's find some top six players.

This is one to miss for me. Kick about friendlies for £35? You must be kidding!

The first is a copy of Arsenal and the second a copy of Liverpool - ugh! to both, let's have something far more original, after all... WE are Southampton! We are top of the fashion league. ... and they call ME a gooner!

We are a Swiss team run by an Italian so expect lots of Red with a bit of white and orange and green shorts

A top candidate for "Most pointless thread of the summer" Speculation about speculation and we haven't reached July 1st yet... Help!

Racist nonsense.

Paul Telford was pretty decent during his time here under Strachan

He isn't! Some matches he's looked downright poor.

We''ll probably sell 22,000 STs tops based on waht happened last time so plenty of spares to buy for individual home matches, is my guess.

So we're getting excited about a rumour about a player from a useless team that got relegated? FFS we want to be Man City not effing Wolves

Anybody who's played in the first team this season we should keep unless they are out of contract. They deserve a chance to have a crack at the PL before they are arbitrarily labelled as no=hoper's and chucked out. It'll be a bitter enough pill to swallow for regulars like Chaplow and de Ridder who might get displaced by the so-called "quality we need to bring in" (according to brain-dead Savage). WE are Southampton.., WE are a decent fair-minded club for whom effort and loyalty means something.

I guess we'll take anybody who "always dreamed of playing for Southampton"?

There's only one Player of the Year - Mr R Lambert

Why would we want the second most reviled player in the P(ensioners?)L? Anyway, he's way over the hill and ready for a McCarthy & Stone home
