Maybe DR's new contract is a large compensation payable if he is poached by a Prem club but less for a champo club as they feel that is less of a risk. If we are relegated by the summer it may costs less, allow Rohl to finish the seasons attempt at promotion and also mean if we did get him he would start with a clean slate in preseason without the toxic fallout of relegation. So to make sure SW dont go up we should take back Charles in January regardless.

I know nothing about this guy but if he makes us more solid and fitter then that can only be a good thing based on the current shambles. Ultimately the fans (including myself) wanted the manager out and a new style implemented and that's what we have got, so lets see where it leads. Prefer Rohl myself but clearly we weren't paying a large compo fee and i guess he fancies his chances of getting SW into the play offs and then if not he can assess his options at the end of the season. That's what I would have done if I was him unless they offered me a big contract. Saints would still have the option of getting rid at the end of the season if it really didnt work out with only 1 year compo and then chasing DR again. Seems like a sensible move all round.

If we couldn't afford a replacement I think they would have kept Martin regardless of how toxic the fanbase became. What would be the point of paying of a manager if you couldn't afford anyone better.

Yeah we could organise a vote by text for each position. £1 per vote which would help pay off the `RM. Even add a vote for formation. Open it to ST and members only to stop the away sides supporters voting for mcCarthy in goal. We are golden.

yeah easy money. Now where's my Betfair account ... first scorer evens money apparently.

I think it’s fair to say he is doubtful for the home game on Boxing Day.

Not so sure. All the big teams will want him. A full season in the prem and their hasnt been a team that he hasnt looked great against. Cole Palmer moved for £40m and had barely played 14 games (including sub appearances) for city and scored 1 goal and he was 21. This kid is barely 18 and looks unstoppable. no way we are selling him for 40m.

Dibling £60m, Ferdy £25-30m, THB 25m Ramsdale totalling 120-140m. You really think we wont have any money to rebuild the side? whether we spend it wisely remains to be seen bit i certainly dont think we will be in as bad a place as last relegation.

Well on a positive note i thought archer looked decent tonight and with him and Adam Armstrong up front we will have enough goals to come back up. Money generated from dibbling ferdy ramsdale and THB will fund a promotion bid. Shame really as i think we have enough to be competitive if we cut out the tippy tippy bollox at the back.

Pensioners should be paying full price as they are seen as working adults until they are 99 by Labour. Starmer will change the pensionable age to suit then no one can complain about concessions.

Yeah and they sacked their manager and replaced with Roy hodgson i think

Any reason why we didn’t bring the former England international with years of experience who can hold the ball in midfield and help see the game out at 2-0 when things started to turn at around 60 minutes? Most obvious substitution of the century and for that alone he has to go. Is it arrogance that he knows best when most fans would have called lallana for aribo?

So is option 1 to be fair.

Grim Reaper spotted in the Southampton area i hear.

Totally agree, however you know its only a matter of time before the better players are picked off and the recruitment to replace fails. It happened to us it will undoubtedly happen to Brighton but long may it continue for them.
