Dalek2003 Posted 26 July, 2014 Share Posted 26 July, 2014 Take on a different outlook. Enjoy the relegation season in the knowledge that we will have the money to re-build properly in the Championship or even League 1, and watch us rise again.

angelman Posted 26 July, 2014 Share Posted 26 July, 2014 I know how you feel but no point having a fire sale (of your ST) quite yet. I would wait to see who comes in first. You/we might be surprised, then again we might be really surprised. Hard to keep the faith when no direction is obvious, but I have faith in Koeman, which I hope I can maintain.

But it's still Southampton football club, we're still supporters of that same club. Since when has a club been just about the players we have? We'll have new hero's next year.

If we'd shown some ambition and said to Pochettino we'd give him £50m to build a squad to crack into the top four, he'd have stayed and so would the players. Our fate was sealed the minute the board told him that Shaw and Lallana were being sold. We had a massive opportunity at the end of last season. The board have failed us and missed the opportunity of a lifetime, because they didn't believe we could make the jump into the too four. Weak.

The board have failed us and missed the opportunity of a lifetime, because they didn't believe we could make the jump into the too four. Weak. This is the problem, as well as the club, it seems as some of the fanbase also hit the glass ceiling and knocked themselves out. We are not big enough for the top 4, never have been and we will never be unless we're owned by a zillionaire. We're not. NC sold a load of waffle to the players, and was basically planning on spending someone elses money. The guy was full of hot air, did a lot to a point for us - can't disagree, but it's easier to get progress from L1/NPC/Mid-table PL than it is to progress from there to Top 6/top 4. I personally want a club which hasn't chased the dream....I think we were in danger of doing so, but we'll operate at a more sustainable level now until if/and when we're purchased by some megabackers. Oh reminds me, where are those backers then Nicola....? Hello....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaford Saint Posted 26 July, 2014 Share Posted 26 July, 2014 When clubs started describing fans as customers it was annoying. When fans started describing themselves as customers I knew we were ****ed.a You are also entitled to an opinion. You might be bright, you might be dull and ignorant. I will try and help you (if you have some capacity to be helped). I am a fan first and foremost. That's why I sat through every home match for the last ten years, for example. The club was in trouble and needed support badly. I hope you can follow this. Things have changed, Adkins was dismissed and I was disgusted. I came to accept that the club is a business, it needed to move forward etc. What is happening now to this club is plain wrong and I am even more disgusted. I don't have undying loyalties to Saints and neither does anyone, despite what any of us might say. There is a walkaway price for all of us and that price is not based on money etc but on an intangible. A love for the club etc that changes to indifference, a feeling of being taken for granted. Ultimately all of us transact with the club via season tickets and merchandise but all we actually are is customers. Unique customers with a brand loyalty, the club is a business with a loyal following of customers. I have probably wasted my time but there it is..... So I might not bother going for a few games, maybe the whole season. Perhaps I will go to watch the ex Saints at Anfield, Old Trafford or wherever the players end up instead and watch what could have been at St Mary's.

Do you really believe for one second that Pochettino would have stayed under those circumstances? Christ, you're naive. Also, did the news about us selling Lallana and Shaw precede the approach to him from Spurs? You seem very well-informed. Perhaps you'll show us the evidence. The bloke is an ambitious, greedy, egotistical bastard who moved because he saw Spurs as a step up in his career ladder. He used us as a stepping stone and he is using them as a stepping stone to Barca / Real Madrid or similar glory team. He will fail at Spurs probably and damage his reputation and it really couldn't happen to a more deserving person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've also finished 2nd in the league, won the FA Cup, built sides with exciting players, and in all of that time I have never known a season where we have lost half out starting XI because players do not want to stay. So carry on with your sad outlook on life that nothing more can be achieved and watch a strong, flourishing club be decimated by a poor owner who really couldn't give a monkeys about Southampton and a bunch of amateur "directors" who know nothing about football and watch your club disintegrate. Its OK we'll still be here, and of course we'll be playing stripes so all will be well.
