Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd

FWIW I totally agree. There's too many people on here with their heads in the clouds. Whilst I admire their optimism I do think a lot of people are unrealistic.

Don't shoot the messenger but I'm informed that he's due for a medical on friday along with Tadic. I guess it's standard practice to allocate time slots for medicals in case the deals are agreed in time?

No it's not. 1. It's German. 2. It looks like a QPR away kit.

Here's a poll for ITV. Should Andy Townsend be shot in the head?

He'll end up at Spurs with MoPo.

Well, that's another week gone without a managerial appointment. More players unhappy and potential targets missed. By the time our new manager arrives he's going to have a lot of work to do.

Because Saints have a reputation for doing very strange things. Who would've thought they'd have employed a world cup winning rugby coach? Or Harry Redknapp???

Let's get something clear. I am not your 'mate'. Also, if you think that £4m is decent money in the current climate then you are also guilty of talking horesh1te, whatever horesh1te is??? May I remind you that the club rejected an offer of more than twice that amount for Lambert in the January transfer window! Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a bed to wet, 'mate'.

Wayne Rooney... He sums up everything that's wrong with the modern game. His rant to the camera about the fans after the Algeria game in the last World Cup is the perfect example. Maybe if he stopped moaning and got on with the job in hand he wouldn't get so much ****. £300k a week is a ****ing disgrace! The attitude of players in the modern game is utterly disgusting. They make me sick. Give them a job in retail on minimum wage where they have to deal with the public moaning and insulting them every day.

Oh, and I forgot to mention the whole Redknapp saga. A manager leaving the clubs biggest rivals, getting us relegated and then going back there. It's Roy of The Rovers stuff. Pure fantasy in another life, but not where Saints are involved.

Well he does have a point. We're a ****ing laughing stock and have been for years. One step forward and two steps back. I can't believe people are shocked at what is going on, you could see it coming a mile off. Every time it looks like the ship is in stable water someone of something has to **** it up. If someone had written a book 20 years ago predicting all the goings on at Saints people would've said that it was ridiculous and far fetched and those things could never happen. Rupert Lowe, Clive Woodward, Mark Wotte, Jan Poortvliet, Michael Wilde, even Ali Dia! The list is endless. FWIW I think the next chapter will involve half the first team leaving, another managerial change in under a year and relegation battle. Watch this space. There's never a dull moment being a Saints fan, sadly for all the wrong reasons.

This is one of the most sensible pieces I've read. Have to say, I'd rather have Moyes than Koeman. At least he brings Premiership experience. I can't help but feel that Koeman will be a flop. His track record is at best, average. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/southampton/10860028/David-Moyes-should-really-be-the-only-candidate-to-replace-Mauricio-Pochettino-as-Southampton-manager.html

We were 150-1 before MP left. Wish I'd had a bit of that!

Absolutely spot on. I've been saying this for months. Cortese knew of the plan and wanted no part in it. That's why he's gone.

No, sadly it doesn't work like that. Expensive football clubs are not a attractive proposition. The true value lies in the assets and the profit they've made. They're a quick return on an investment. The club without all the weight of players and their earnings is far more attractive to potential buyers.

We're being asset stripped and the club will be sold.

Any one else think our new board are just a bunch of lying ****s?

Back to ****ing square one. Build everything up and then rip it all apart. Utterly ****ing pointless. I'm at my wits end with this joke of a club!

He's gone! £4m plus add ons.

Please not Yakin. There's managers out there like Laudrup and Moyes who have experience in the Premiership.

Moyes looks like the best of a bad bunch. I'll be mortified if we go for someone like Mackay, Hughton, Sherwood or heaven forbid, Neil Lennon!

What's amusing is that you've no idea who he is. Believe me, he's a lot more ITK than most on here.

I'm just waiting for Scooby Doo and ****gy to unmask Katharina and reveal her true identity to be, Rupert Lowe. He'll then say, "That Football Club would've been mine if it wasn't for you meddling kids."

Fulham are by far the worst side i've seen this season. I think Norwich are in trouble and then it could be WHU, Cardiff or Swansea. I'd love to see Stoke go down just because they sacked a manager who was doing a good job and replaced him with someone who is no better. It's great seeing Pulis lifting Palace out of the **** whilst Hughes makes a mess of jet another club.
