I thought it was Spartak Moscow and all going through

Exactly - they don't allow those size bets on their 'specials'

£4mill is fck all though. Our bench is often so weak and just getting out players over 30 on the basis of they have little resale value is foolhardy. Still has loads to offer in terms of experience, professionalism and helping youngsters. Proven at the level and as Norwich found out finding replacements is not straightforward. Might not be the player he was this season but to say a steal is ridiculous. Edit: sorry was meant to quote the steal post not yours Mash

You really believe that? Most journos have been gushing about Saints and saying how refreshing. Is this all part of the plan?

Very small consolation but if he has to go would rather Liverpool than Spurs.

I joked about Gross a few days back as a comical suggestion. Will completely join the meltdown brigade should it happen

Did he say that?

Yes but replacement will have a longer lifespan. Not that I would accept £4m as is almost a free in today's prices

I would have thought the same people who couldn't give a sh1t about the cups must be happy with so much speculation of money coming in. After all it's what the game is about these days and the dinosaurs of the past just don't get this,

WTF

It is standard for this place. Often from irritating bores who like to think they are so much more civilised, mature and rounded. Dullards.

Fans wishing him well sicken me. 'It's just a business' No it isn't.

No stranger things haven't happened. Although almost as strange is Terry Connor getting a listing.

Maybe Gazzaniga won't want to stay without his fellow countrymen. I can't bear the thought of this mass exodus.

Could he take Simeone?

Not everyone anally retains all details from every game. Could most on here name the Benfica or Juventus manager?

I wonder how many knew who he was before today? I am convinced he is the man for us but aware may be getting whipped up in the need for positivity.

Just keep moving upwards like Leeds and Portsmouth is the sure way to survive

I would be good for you. I could protect you from the baddies with my natural survival skills and tell you it was all going to be okay. And if you stayed calm might even change your nappy and share my bully beef.

I can't claim to have too much knowledge of the board but as much as us fans love this Utopian idea that clubs are run to our liking they rarely are. I am not saying everything is rosy but also far too early to panic. Most of us thought MP was on his way for a while.

Who knows but fact is players and managers have always left us regardless of the hierarchy.

Nice bit of personal abuse gave me a welcome chuckle.

Without doubt would have been a reduced salary because the board is full of morons. Can't believe they didn't issue a statement detailing exactly it's terms either. We, the internet, have a right to know everything.

Such wisdom. Of course actions speak louder than words but so many don't seem to want to give the board a chance. Losing managers and players has always been an issue for Saints and always will be. Pathetic tantrums saying 'he's a moron' etc. just show people up. I don't have my head in sand but at same time the mob here make me sick. Imagine being in the trenches with such feeble personalities panicking at first sign of everything not being rosy. Dear me.

Does anyone know this clown in real life? Assume he is actually a basket case as comes across as a little deranged.
