Two players sold, Shaw and Llalana. 58 million squids banked. And Lambert nearly 5 million thats 63 million. Shit ! Anyone get the feeling they are about to asset strip and leave ? If I was a saints fan I would be thinking about some positive action.
PDQ. |  |

Plus they got some fantastic youngsters coming through, I think they'll have a good season again |
Got some names? positions?
What was it that Hansen said..." you won't win anything with kids".
He was wrong about Utd, but might be right about the Saints....too made kids could even take them down, let alone not win anything....however fantastic they are. |  | | |

Think back to when Brendan left in 2012, Joe Allen followed him,Scott Sinclair went to City, Sigurdsson went to Spurs, very similar situation and the Swans survived. |  | | |

Anything that gives us an advantage over another team is a good thing. They still have enough about them to finish above at least three teams easily, even before spending some of the cash though. |
I think they have quite a bit of debt to service so perhaps the replacement won't be of anywhere near a similar quality. Then they will struggle |  |

The problem Saints had was that they had to repay at least £52m in debt this summer due to player aquisition and redevelopment of their academy infrastruture. THey are acutely aware of Cat A academy status hence their investment in upgrading |
£52m debt? where on earth did you get that from?????
we owe transfer money this season, much like very single other club in the league.
with the huge TV deal and about £70m worth of player sales (when Lovren and Schniederlin do go)
also, we have just signed a huge sponsorship agreement and the £30m upgrade to the training ground/academy has finished
the club will have £80m-£100m to rebuild
it is going to be tough but Koeman has stated that he wants 7-8 players
we have bid for Graziano Pelle, Ings, rumours are we want your left back, Dusan Tadic, Blaczikowski, Nathan Redmons etc etc
the owners are worth about £3bn so I dont think we are financially screwed as you lot seem to think. I cant see Koeman coming also, if that was the case
we probably wont have a good as season as last year, where did not fall out of the top 10 but I dont think we will go down at all....it will be a bumpy road as we rebuild but we have a decent manager and a shed load of money to do so..
as for youngsters, when we had 4 players called up for the england friendly before the world cup, that brought the total to 17 players called up for england at various age levels that weekend
we were in the top 8 clubs in europe for having the number of players called up to the world cup at the time...

Ignore some of our ignorant supporters. Many pride themselves on believing we are some sort of model football club and an inspiration for others. It's extremely self righteous and ignorant and I find it cringe worthy and embarrassing. |  |

Genuine question: have things improved since the end of March then?

That article has similar numbers to what Watch posted. Obviously, things have changed a little as the article says you won't need to sell Shaw and Lallana... |  | | |

what has changed?
it was made clear that the comment quoted was a commercial sense.
we ha no new sponsor lined up and no kit amnufacturer due to Cortese quitting in mid negotiations...
we have a new sponsor (that signed a big contract) and the kit this season will be the clubs own brand with a change to Nike the following season (deal to be tied up soon)
we shall see, as I said, I fully expect this season to be a bit bumpy and it is a bit unprecedented that a club with no financial difficulties loses so many key members in a short space of time....be interesting, no doubt
fancy a bit of Bony at saints........yeah yeah, I know, no chance :-)
good to wish though | | | |

To be fair, there never could be a similarity to Jethro. He is a genuine singularity. [Post edited 29 Jun 2014 19:27]
