Three mid-table seasons with Torino.

That's the best Saints can hope for, If he can do that with us I'd happy.

ripping the sick off
at 13:25 17 Sep 2016

I'm in JR Hospital Oxford. Fell over and broke my leg coming home from the Arsenal match (12+ hours drinking), now waiting for an Operation (been cancelled twice), meaning i am missing the Israel trip and Milan is a bit iffy.

I have the option of using their TV but to expensive as you say. But i have my laptop and Iphone with me with a fantastic free wi-fi signal so i'm watching all Sky programs, I-player etc.

Didn't realise I was lucky having it...

Concern over burn out for Fonte
at 08:20 8 Jul 2016

He has only played the last 3 games and now the final. Is really to much to be burnt out?

He will have his break after Sunday and come (with a winners medal hopefully) back fine i would have though.

Do people still listen to shi*y talk sport with Durham etc? havent listened to it for a couple of years, absolute bollocks.

Hawsksbey & Jacobas were worth listening to at one time but with so many commercial ads done my head in.

Why listen? as you say its a mong fest station. DONT FUC*ING LISTEN TO IT!!!!

Seasonal Car Parking (n/t)
at 18:00 20 Jun 2015

I'm in car park S on the junction between Northam road and St Marys street, belongs to Solent Uni i think.

Its a five minuet walk to the ground past the King Alfred. £200 but not including cup games, although there isnt always an attendant on for cup games. maybe there will be for EL.

I agree with that but would also add the great escape against Everton. Marion became a proper Saint that day.

The Stoke Dilemma
at 12:23 29 Oct 2014

Did Stoke play with a weakened side in previous rounds? If they are worried about relegation maybe that's what they'll do again...hope so.

This was posted on the Saints Web Forum

just had a text from a football agent with strong ties to Southampton FC, who told me that the player budget at Saints was out of control. He suggested that the board was hamstrung by the commitments Cortese had made to both the players and Pochettino et al, which would have ensured that any future success on the field would have swallowed up income off of it and led to an unsustainable situation going forward, given our restricted income, with regard to sponsorship and crowds. Cortese had taken his focus off of the commercial income growth. In fact it was shrinking, due to the fact he was an unpleasant guy to deal with. Sony swore never to sponsor a box again, after the way they were treated last season.



So, my take is that to prevent all and more of the riches earned in the Premiership disappearing via players, their contracts, bonuses and constant demands, leading to an unsustainable future, it made sense to clear the decks and adjust the player budget to a level that a club our size, with 30,000 crowds and a tiny commercial income, compared with virtually any other club in the Premiership, could afford. Cutting our cloth in an area in which the majority of the overheads are spent. The area of greedy, spoilt, ungrateful, spoilt and self-obsessed children who can kick a ball around for a living. Better to start with new contracts than have to pay for the mistakes of the past.
