"Reality check please. Who are the season on season 20 goal + strikers in the PL that would want to come here. Man U buy RVP after years of fits and starts and pay Spud-U-like £300k per week. Suarez wasn't sold for £40m, Silva or Aguero wouldn't be less than that. We have a ground roughly half that of Arsenal and less than half of Man U. Man City and Chelsea have deep pockets. Why are we even talking about top four? I want Southampton to look to clubs like Everton who appear to balance budgets, get decent loan signings and are regularly in the top 8 without running the financial risks that Poopey and Leeds have been through.
Be careful with what you wish for, I think top half is a fantastic result for us, stop peddling the lie that the only way forward is top 4 as I think it's a dangerous road."
