A bit of a sweeping statement that, thankfully I've found not all Southampton fans to be as ignorant as you. And most can spell Leicester correctly.

The usual ignorant blame Leicester comment strikes again, the quoted poster should get his facts right. We didn't voluntarily go into administration, we were sued by Eric Hall (agent of Dennis Wise) which forced us into admin. The FL then placed a transfer embargo on the club banning us from bringing any players in during our promotion season, as well as putting our entire squad up for sale. No offers came in for any of our players. If you want to blame anyone, blame the likes of Neil Warnock and Milan Mandaric who spent most of the season bleating on in the press about the unfairness of it all, and the majority of the 72 league clubs who voted in favour of points penalties (only Leicester and Bradford voted against). Like turkeys voting for Christmas really. I've always liked Southampton, and am sorry to see the news, hence why I am sat here reading your forum. I wouldn't wish this on anyone and the thought of playing in League 1 hurts enough aside from the financial difficulties and mismanagement of your club. So I hope I speak for most fans in wishing you good luck and I hope you'll be back again in no time and under new ownership.
