It sounds like a bad deal for Saints if any of this is true.

Of course NC was noted for his openness and transparent communications!

I think that Pochettino is going to go and so is Luke Shaw. To me the latter is far more regrettable. he is an amazingly talented player and it would be nice to watch him develop with saints. I think we will get a British replacement manager - maybe Sherwood. I hope Lallana will stay - I think that 3 or 4 will go including Gaston and the other pricey one. We will buy Caulker and a goal keeper and a winger/striker.

We need a new top class keeper.

Pochettino is apparently on £2 million a year at present.

I think that Pochettino will stay - and I am not entirely convinced this is the best thing for Saints. His use of substitutes is poor and he does make does poor decisions (eg FA Cup). I think we will lose Luke Shaw but Adam will stay.

I think we'll be all right in the long run.

This has to be right. We need to strengthen not sell.

I don't think MP is committed to us at all.

There's a fair bit of codswallop on here!

We should keep Luke Shaw at any price - it would be ridiculous to sell him now.

Congratulations to RL, AL and LS - and I hear that man Utd have tabled a big bid for Luke. Hope he resists it.

Not this again! Just leave the badge alone.

No.

Good luck Wayne.

I thought her name is Katharina? That is what I have been calling her - have I got that wrong? I think she is a big improvement on Nicola Cortese.

Many thanks for this post - very interesting and reassuring.

I thought Alan Shearer scored a hat trick in his debut game?

He is a good stopper but is he also sufficiently creative? Does he ever score a goal?

Silly billy. I would play our strongest side but who can we bring in to score some goals? Maybe give Reed a longer run out.

We won away - very good result. However, our lack of goal scoring is worrying - why can't we learn to shoot on the edge of the box? I am disappointed in Gallagher of whom we had high hopes.

Excellent result although we really must start making more of our possession next season!

Davis gives the ball away too often too cheaply.

Why won't they shoot more??
