The same personnel have been in place for three top ten finishes and europe qualification. Manager appointments are the core problem on where its gone wrong.

The ownership of the club is a total farce with no representation on any boards and reliance on people who the previous owner brought in. There has been a big 'pr cover up' on the whole thing to play it all down, which merely increases suspicion. Unless Mr Gao delivers large commercial income, i suggest the club is put back on the market to be sold. Mr Gao as i said is totally relying on previous owner management, which to me is very dangerous ground. His financial advisors 'Deal Globe' are naive to think results would stay the same despite the players and managers having left. I suspect Mr Gao came here early last December and was told aload of ******** ditto to what we heard from Krueger.

Just to make it clear as many fans don’t realise he’s already been involved in the 1st team since last july https://southamptonfc.com/news/2016-07-13/davis-appointed-football-development-executive

Laughable, he’s already involved in the first team anyway. No experience, really desperate stuff and just shows how bad pellegrino and assistants are !

8th and a League Cup Final actually

Companies house now showing Gao as the new owner https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/06951765/filing-history

A change in our status was only possible, if a new owner had the contacts one way or the other to increase the commercial revenue especially via sponsorship. The Premier league must have seen some sort of plan from Gao and if Krugers says Under Armour and Virgin Media seem happy then whats going on ?

I think fans deserve to know exactly what Gao told the premier league as to regards plans for the club. If the takeover of the club was all about continuing in the same way then i suggest you re-employ the managers and players that have left to redo that. Over the last two seasons we have seen two manaers employed that are not good enough and dont inspire the players. There have been a number of players brought in also on big money that are not good enough for the top ten of the PL Why does Gao not have any representation on the football board ? If he has simply bought the club and is going to let the same people run the club, i dont see that ending well.

Les Reed xyz, when its Ross Wilson calling the shots this year.

Lemina has to start and we need someone better than Romeu brought in January as he just doesnt do enough for me.

Redmond too scared to make a complaint ! Forget all this lip syncing stuff in the sun, Redmond responds to Guardiola covering his mouth. Ranting and waving his arms in his face other than on the pitch would have seen a full on ruck.

Im waiting for the commercial revenue that will only change our status, if its not forthcoming i wonder why the club was sold.

We have an email address ! We have too many faceless fans who 'do nothing' and like we have seen in the past simply berate those that want some sort of change and put their heads abover the parapet.

what a load of steaming ****e.

I reckon come next summer if nothing has changed we will be wanting a new owner.

Not a Koeman or Adkins then ?? Should Reed get a restraining order on you ?

You need to find a replacement first.

This article has been 'made up' by someone with an axe to grind as Gao doesnt talk and SFC would put out this stuff either.

Been a total farce thus far lets be honest ! He doesnt speak english so dont expect to hear from him.

All these newspaper reports organised by Cortese via his mate David Bick at the time the clubs pr consultant ! What a vile man eh and yet you suck his balls

Try.... obtaining a sell percentage Like i said he had lost interest anyway and his wife wanted out and to move back home.

Amazed some fans still have a hard on about Cortese he really did a number on you lot ! Mind you he was paying the N01 sport pr consultant David Bick to serve you up. The fact we improved ater he left seems to miss you chaps and that despite him doing his best to unsettle the club before he left. He of course was looking to sell the club and wasnt interested in being here longterm, he saw it as a great way to earn mega money and then bugger off back to clock land with his booty. Alas Kat and her advisors saw his game and got rid.

Our current predictament is down to nothing more than a poor manager choice and also 3/4 players brought in that arent as good as those that where sold. Did we lose out on Marco Silva because of the dithering over sacking Puel ? He seemed very interested in coming here so why didnt it happen ? We have players like Nathan Redmond, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Bednarak all brought on whose instruction ?? They are not top ten PL players and we paid £35M for them. Then there is the bigger picture and the new owner having no representation on either board and what exactly is his/her reason for buying the club and what are their plans ?

Laughable stuff....you do realise Reed was around doing all the work when Cortese was poncing around do nothing ? The fact we did better after selling half a team (no thanks to cortese pushing them out btw) clearly missed you.
