In terms of relegation Manchester City's injury time winner cost Saints nothing, but in terms of income from the Premier League it meant we missed out on a not insignificant amount of cash.
Saints fans did not feel too disappointed when Jesus scored with virtually the last kick of the game at St Mary's on Sunday, there was no feeling of dejection as there had been 8 days earlier when Everton scored in the last minute of injury time, we knew the job was done, indeed some Saints fans were almost happy that City had scored and reached that 100 points total.
But there would not have been two many smiles in the directors box, that goal meant that Saints dropped a position, with Huddersfield losing to Arsenal and us drawing we were above the Yorkshire club in 16th place and it wasn't just the fact it made the League table look a bit more respectable that was the reason for the long faces, dropping a league place meant that we only received £7.7 million in the prize money for League places, some £1.9 million down on the £9.6 million we would have received if we had held out for those final seconds.
Although in the grand scheme of things £1.9 million doesn't buy you much these days, it is still better in our bank than in Huddersfield's and from that perspective Ralph Krueger was not as happy as he might have been.
But the main thing is that we are still in the Premier League for next season and that means far more money than £1.9 million.
Raplh Krueger and his board now need to identify where we have gone wrong this term, although I suspect that they already know that, implement the changes needed and get back to what we have done so well for the previous four years.
