  1. Sounds plausible--although we would probably sell the full 5000 for the higher priced games. But the range is surely 1.5 to 3 million which is small but not trivial.

    Yes.
  3. You may be right. However, my blog and posting here is me taking a break from writing briefs about mentally ill sex offenders. Also, I think people have missed the point of my initial post on Southampton's seasideness. I posted a link to a map of Southampton NY which is definitely seaside. It was a joke. Ok, maybe it was not funny, but I wasn't missing the point of anything or at least I was missing the point of something I have continued to miss the point of. On the other hand, I was serious when I said that claiming I was from LA was a serious insult. Also, I know that Middlesbrough is not seaside. Hull I had to check.
  4. My quick arithmetic suggests something over 3 million pounds a season, if the new seats sold at 35 pounds each. Not a huge amount in the scheme of things, but with financial fair play not completely trivial. It would, for example, allow us to pay one player enough to keep him from going to Liverpool for the money.
  5. I have just posted "Premier League Salaries According to Football Manager 2015" on my blog. The information is at least somewhat relevant to this discussion. http://redsloscf.blogspot.com/ http://redsloscf.blogspot.co.uk/

  8. You are greatly understating San Francisco's seasideness. https://www.google.com/maps/place/San+Francisco,+CA/@37.7577,-122.4376,12z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x80859a6d00690021:0x4a501367f076adff Also, pretty cool how Liebherr has broken into that boys club, isn't it?
  9. Accusing me of being from Los Angeles is worse than accusing you of being from Portsmouth. I am from San Francisco. (By the way, if you actually are from Portsmouth, I apologize. I am sorry you are from Portsmouth.)

    I doubt it. He would not be a suitable replacement for Pelle and we have the winger roles covered already.
  11. Sorry. Didn't know that. I was focused on the head examined part of the comment. Of course, we cannot be sure what is under the clothes.
  12. Except that Koeman doesn't have to worry about injuring himself and losing a big pay day if he gives his all right up until the end of his contract.
  13. I was going to point out that this would apply to every current Southampton player except maybe Tadic. And then I realized that due to the risk of concussions, every football player should have a test annually to establish a baseline for future reference. So maybe you are right.
  14. Thank you for reading my blog. By the way, did you check out the link in my post?
  15. But we can all agree he conducted himself more professionally and Lovren and less professionally than Lambert, right?
  16. I don't know what you all are on about but Southampton is clearly right on the sea. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Southampton,+NY/@40.8765343,-72.4086303,13z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x89e894ffe7b76a09:0xfff847a4af47d809
  17. I enjoyed this post particularly: "Can't fathom why this is such a big deal. Seen a few papers running with the story like its the manager who's mysteriously left. We'd still get injuries if we played our home games at Lourdes and mother Theresa was our physio." Certainly relying on spring water and a dead nun would do nothing to keep down injuries.
  18. Yes. I just said it was close. I doubt Sidney meant a team of 100% home grown English players. In any case, I think it is clear that we will never be able to have a Premier League team with 50% of the players developed through the academy whether you meant 50% of the starting 11, 50% of the 25 man roster, 50% of the players who play regularly, or 50% of the total minutes played. It will be impossible to get enough academy players who are good enough to play but not too good for the big clubs to buy away from us.
  19. Yes, he does. However, I don't think it is appropriate to try to force a transfer without putting in a transfer request. I admit it is quite common, but that doesn't make it right.
  20. This is pretty close to saying that: We deliberately five years ago made a different decision. This was based on our owner who had taken the club out of administration, Markus Liebherr. He bought the club because he loved football. He had an affinity with Southampton through the docks, through his business. He loved community—big on community. He loved watching good football. So the philosophy was based on come redevelop a team that will get into the premier league. Play in the top of the premier league with 50% of our players developed through our academy. Can we get a team that can do that and be exciting for the fans so the fans enjoy coming and want to be there every week to see good football? That was where it started from and then was so what is the strategy to put that together. It had to be bottom up. It had to be if that’s what we want to achieve at the end, this is where we have to start building now. So good techniques, good qualities, the athleticism of the players, everything from 8, 9, 10, and 11 had to drive towards that. http://redsloscf.blogspot.com/2014/10/i-have-transcribed-les-reeds-38-minute_24.html
  21. I think we would all agree that the more break throughs like that the better.
  22. The only actual name calling was a single reference to you as a muppet and muppets are happy little things that everyone likes and, after all, you are the one that put Kermit, the muppet leader, in your name. Would you be happier if someone called you a devoutly religious lunatic? I would prefer to be called a muppet.
  23. I seriously consider doing a long, detailed post responding to the many errors in this post, but then I realized, I could do the same type of detailed analysis and make $95 doing my lawyer work. So ....
  24. Falling through a hole in weak ice?
  25. I saw that report too. However, under the new rules I don't see how he can get a work permit to play for Norwich unless their is a special exception for persons already in the country with a work permit for another club.
