Southampton Unity needed Now With Safety Assured

Those that predicted doom and gloom were disappointed after Sunday’s games saw Saints safe ahead of the last two games and the predicted Armageddon avoided, now that Saints will be in the Premier League for sure next season it is time for a new era and everyone singing from the same hymsheet.

With Leeds only able to draw with Brighton, saints can now celebrate their 10th consecutive season back in the top flight knowing that they will be playing Premier League football next season.

It is now irrevelant what has happened in the previous 36 games and to be blunt the next two games.

We now start a new era at St Mary’s with new owners and some of the financial restrictions loosened , ok we won’t be spending big money, but we can survive and prosper and move forward by fine tuning what we have done well for the past 10 years.

But we can’ achieve this if the fan base is divided and not behind the new owners, we have to give them a chance to fine tune things and show what they can do before we pass judgement.

We have to start to get a siege mentality and banish this culture of panicking every time something looks like going wrong.

We should all want success for the club, so it it not fair to say that we should start with a clean sheet and give everyone a chance.

The past is the past but the future is unwritten.
