Then everything else will fall into place. That is all that matters. For Dyke and the FA the Southampton Way is the only way." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard Posted 13 November, 2013 Share Posted 13 November, 2013 I would rather the other clubs continue to spend money on foreign imports please, and the best English talent be brought to Southampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucks Saint Posted 14 November, 2013 Share Posted 14 November, 2013 Love it - praises what we are doing hugely without giving even an iota of insight into what that is. Top journo this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansums Posted 14 November, 2013 Share Posted 14 November, 2013 But what is it that we do differently? I would suggest its that (if they are good enough) we are prepared to actually play our youngsters in the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmel Posted 14 November, 2013 Share Posted 14 November, 2013 I prefered being the uncool underdog. That is fine as a mentality for the players, and my personal preference would be to fly under the radar of the press, but there is more to it than that. At the recent "Leaders in Football" (Or whatever it is called now) Cortese stated he wanted to increase revenues by 70% (I think that is what is was, or even 80%). That is going to take a huge about of diversity and execution. There is no doubt that the media attention and subsequent England call ups, have significantly increased the profile of the club, which from a commercial perspective can only help. Whilst it might only represent a relatively small amount of money (In comparison to a 70% uplift) one thing we haven't done very well (IMO) at over the last 3 years is advertising and corporate. This current media love in can only help us to do better and then of course when it comes to Corporate Sponsorship, It opens a whole new world. So from a commercial view, it is pure gold.

100%Red&White Posted 14 November, 2013 Share Posted 14 November, 2013 one thing we haven't done very well (IMO) at over the last 3 years is advertising and corporate I would imagine 'aap' have been quite happy with the little shirt sponsorship faux pas last summer, they've enjoyed fantastic media coverage this season for what must be the cheapest ever outlay with a Premier 'top 3' club!

CB Fry Posted 14 November, 2013 Share Posted 14 November, 2013 Did he say how? 95% of the new revenue will come from selling plain red shirts to the Orientals. Oh, they love a red shirt them Orientals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably why the Spanish have changed their traditional dark blue shorts to red shorts (thus an all red kit) for the World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffo Posted 16 November, 2013 Share Posted 16 November, 2013 The issue I have is that sfc does not receive the true value of the youth players we sell. We get good money for them when they go to a big club but when they are on sold we get a small portion whilst the big club who did very little in the players development, gets a whooping big cheque.

We get good money for them when they go to a big club but when they are on sold we get a small portion whilst the big club who did very little in the players development, gets a whooping big cheque. I presume you are talking about Bale as surely you aren't saying that AOC was worth more than £12m and neither was Walcott in 2006 and was at the time the most expensive teenager in English football. as well as this neither have left Arsenal so no whopping cheque. Bale was a totally different player to the one that left us in 2007, he was a skinny lad that was playing at left back, he left spurs an attacking midfielder that roamed all over the pitch and was a strapping athlete. In addition to this we had no option to sell as we were struggling financially at the time. To say spurs did nothing to develop his talent is nonsense.

I feel for the team we fleeced for bale. Or the team we mugged for Walcott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
