saint1977 Posted 29 May, 2014 Share Posted 29 May, 2014 I like to see the best in people but the only time in the top flight I've ever seen scavengers picking over a PL carcass like this was Pompey when Harry left. Been trying to stay positive but something has gone rotten inside the club. It's one thing for the overseas mercenary players to come and go but do feel betrayed by Rickie and Lallana. Yes, they've done a lot for Saints but the club has done even more for them including mugs like me driving up to Carlisle to watch them in League 1.

Within 24 hrs of his interview, where in some peoples eyes he made some catergorical statements, we are going back on them. Hes as big a joke now as Agent Orange Doooleyooo. I'm not saying that Lambert won't go but so far we've rejected their bid, just like Kruger said we would. I'm not sure what else you're expecting? We can't control other clubs making bids or releasing info to the media. Edited 29 May, 2014 by shirleysfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sour Mash Posted 29 May, 2014 Share Posted 29 May, 2014 Maybe none of the candidates on the short list want to keep him...... Exactly. It wouldn't surprise me if they're getting this bit of bad news out the way now, Krueger takes and deflects all the flak, then a new guy is able to walk in with a cleaner slate. Bit optimistic, but would make sense in a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baird of the land Posted 29 May, 2014 Share Posted 29 May, 2014 If the lambert thing happens Krueger will have allowed himself to appear to be a buffoon a day later. If the peanuts selling him for is true its deeply worrying. No sane club in prem would sell their star striker dirt cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offix Posted 29 May, 2014 Share Posted 29 May, 2014 I think we are now seeing the reason for MoPo's decision to leave. It was likely clear to him that the Board was not at all committed to (or capable of) keeping key players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoPints Posted 29 May, 2014 Share Posted 29 May, 2014 Maybe they want a manager in quickly then they can offload Lallana, Shaw, Lambert and spider and grab the cash, blaming the new boy for team selection. Kerching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blair3 Posted 29 May, 2014 Share Posted 29 May, 2014 The first thing that should have been done when the manager MoPo left was to ensure that no players were sold until the new manager was in place. It should be routine that any top flight club does this. If a new manager has been appointed behind the scenes and has agreed to Lambert being sold without evening taking a single training session then I think the wrong manager has been appointed. You do not sell your only experienced and reliable forward without having any idea what you have in the squad. I am 90% certain that if Cortese had still been in charge MoPo would still be at the club and if he wasn't we would already have a bigger name manager at the club. Also there would be no question of him coming back for Lallana, JRod, Victor, or Morgan, all of whom have been linked with Tottenham since he left. Cortese would have had a clause inserted into any release from his contract with us stating that he does not touch any of our players for at least three years.

max_saints Posted 29 May, 2014 Share Posted 29 May, 2014 But he never said that. Show me the direct quote where he did? Q: What can a new manager expect to find at the club with bids in for some of your star players and in terms of transfer funds? A: First of all it’s very clear that we are in control. We are in control of all the player transfers. All the top players are under long term contracts. Any transfers that take place will be under our terms. We will decide the terms to potential transfers in and out of the club. We will involve the manager. That is important for everybody to know. That’s why we have been able to not agree to any transfers to date, because we have control of the situation, and anybody who is saying anything else doesn’t understand that we are in a strong position with the Saints. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/11242017._We_re_aiming_for_Europe____full_interview_with_Saints_chairman_Ralph_Krueger/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Lej Posted 29 May, 2014 Share Posted 29 May, 2014 I can't see now how this deal won't go through, it seems all done and dusted. Which makes RK's statement yesterday all the more plausible.

Cestrian Saint Posted 30 May, 2014 Share Posted 30 May, 2014 28th May 2014. Southampton Chairman states that all player 'transactions' will only occur when a new Manager is appointed. 29th May 2014. Managerless Southampton on verge of selling talisman striker to Liverpool. Les Reed just keeps on rolling, but it's ok lads, he's fully qualified for this DoF role at Southampton The board are a bunch of lying ****s. I know for a fact that they've agreed a fee with 2 British clubs for LS. To hear RK say that they've not received any offers for any of our players is nothing more than a blatant lie!

croydonsaint Posted 30 May, 2014 Share Posted 30 May, 2014 Ralfie................... why is it that if we are so attractive and so in control does it feel like we are not? I had this mental vision of when you were saying we had received contact from many top managers and coaches wanting to join us [or words like that] Les Reed was in a corner somewhere wondering what the f are you were talking about. Sincerely hope I am wrong, I hope my sinking lack of confidence is based on reading too much into the back ground music of the press speculation about players leaving in mass but Ralfie, this action that you keep talking about, well lets just say if ever we needed to see it, just a hint pal, but now would be a good time.
