It was very clearly a choice between a new commercial manager and signing a striker and I, for one, support the club making what is obviously the correct decision. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted 18 January, 2023 Share Posted 18 January, 2023 Goes without saying - which is probably why they haven’t bothered - that we’ve tracked Charlie Boss over his career and he was always our number one target. And had to fight off last minute interest from a couple of unnamed premiership clubs for his signature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangkoksaint Posted 19 January, 2023 Share Posted 19 January, 2023 (edited) Sorry but the title says ‘Comms Officer’ (I read that as Communications Officer). Not that it makes a difference but he’s a Commercial Officer. Anyway we still need a striker…….. Edited 19 January, 2023 by bangkoksaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if he said a cheap seaside B&B, he would have got it 🤔 CB’s response: After an unforgettable 18 month journey with Southampton Football Club, I am delighted to be handing the baton to Saints’ new Chief Revenue Officer, Greg Baker. He is inheriting a talented Commercial team that has been doing phenomenal work and has big ambitions for next season in the Premier League and beyond. Having worked closely with Greg throughout my time with the club, I can’t think of a better person to help the team realise those ambitions. Thank you to all my colleagues and our fans for their warmth and kindness while I have been with this wonderful club. It was so special to be part of our promotion journey this season. Once a Saint, always a Saint 😇 I am looking forward to taking some time with my family over the summer while I consider what comes next.

malcolm waldron Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Good decision by the club - we all want RM to be absolutely ruthless this summer as he builds a team capable of dominating 'the Prem' - and this early decision will rightly send shockwaves through the first team. It sends out the clear message that I (not me obviously - but Russell Martin) am in complete control here ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Whenever people say our staff turnover is ridiculous are they comparing that to other teams that they know have a lot fewer staff moving roles? Be interesting to know if they are basing that on fact or just randomly throwing it out there as a thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can replicate this turn over on the pitch, we'll be in good shape next season. That being said, from a pure strategic poisiton (and obviously replicating that sucess will be harder if the decision makers are also moving on), you do want / need consistency at the top... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
