Echo should stop scare mongering, and start thinking why its circulation keeps going down. Saints are big enough to survive in the top division where they very rightly belong.

The released list is just players who were out of contract other players may leave but they will be sold on or part of a deal to bring others in you can't just release players who are under contract as they have a contract thats what a contact is for to protect club and player.

Not a fan of Sam Allardyce, but I think West Ham will do alright next season. They were also in the mix for most of the season, but couldn't quite catch us. We had a great start and then wobbled at the end...shows how important early points are. Hope we get a few good results early and then settle in nicely. Making promoted sides favourite for relegation happens every year. I think we will do better than a few sides including QPR and Wigan. It's important that the team get used to losing games and rise above it...next season will be very different from last three, but am sure we will be ok.
Adkins hoped for some early signings and not try and get players in January, but I am not expecting the activity that some fans seem to be.

Completely disagree about Schiderlin - I think he'll be just terrific. However, I do agree that Hammond, Puncheon, Seaborne & Barnard should be released. I'm all set for a brilliant season... COYS!!

So, to prevent this and to balance the risk they issue these early odds set as they know full well that come August , the new odds will relflect more reality and that come christmas ( another time betting on this sort of combo is popular ) a third balancing phase takes place. So when they do their sums then they know whoever goes down they will be quid in for the triples... If you talk to those close to football rather than betting, No-one is saying Saints are probable relegation material, and that before a single dime has been spent. Reading also are not being talked about in that way either... Most pundits seem to think its WBA, swansea and Wigan who are favourites for the drop.

With the likes of Man City looking to spend even more this summer I do not see success coming our way at all.

I was going to put £200 on us topping the Prem (winning £1 million), but let's face it that isn't going to happen. I think we'll finish second.

This will be the third season in row where we've finished runners up and been denied a victory parade through the city as a result. It's becoming very frustrating.

Come on Cortese and Adkins - get your act together!

How on earth is that going to stop people betting on combinations!? lol

It will take a brave person to make those kind of bets a week after the last season has finished anyway.

The bookies are going on where the money is going. So at the moment a lot of people seem to be betting against saints. Fair enough, they probs still see us as that small team who used to struggle in the lower half of the prem...

Also I don't think any respectable pundit would be making such rash judgements. Show me a quote from someone with good football knowledge, I dare you!

"Southampton will finish at least second in their first season back in the Premiership. That's an absolute banker. They are completely brilliant and with a little strengthening they could easily win it." - Gary Neville, Sky Sports 20 May 2012

"If Southampton don't make the top two next season I'll put peanut butter on my willy and a ferret down my pants live on Match of the Day." - Alan Hansen BBC 15 May 2012

"The team everyone in the Prem is fearing next season is Southampton. If they aren't six points clear at the top by Christmas, I'll eat a bag of hornets." - Lee Dixon, BBC Radio 5 Live, 14 May 2012

"If Confucious says Saints will finish runners up, that's good enough for me. The guy's an absolute genius." - Jamie Redknapp, Sky Sports News, 12.05pm today

I'm a Saints fan and you don't speak for me - I don't 'demand' anything from Saints other than 100% commitment.

I certainly don't 'demand' a top ten finish.

Stop putting words in my mouth. Never said I don't want Saints to win or to do well - I just don't 'demand' anything other than 100% commitment.

Will you start booing if your 'demands' aren't met?

(Also, what other posts are you referring to? I haven't posted for ages before today - you just love manipulating facts don't you?)

At the start of last season the 3 teams promoted to Premier League were all favourites for the drop, with all the leading bookmakers. Barcelona were favourite to win the Champions League, Man U favourite for Premier League title, Birmingham, West Ham were favourites for automatic promotion to the Premier League and Leicester were favourite to take the 3rd spot.

We didn't get a mention in the Championship title race betting nor did we get a mention in the automatic promotion betting odds.

My response to this article is a simple one ''Argh the wonderful bookmakers WTF do they know''`

When the pressure is not on and there are not games to WIN - Saints fans sometimes out of boredom and fruustration turn on each other ... I'm not going to do that !! SAINTS are undergoing a revolution ... You can only applaud the Squad the Players - the Stars like RICKIE and ADAM ... Nicola and Nigel have been awesome as a Team - long may it continue !!! As we stepped up to the Championship - there were posts of concern about our placing - and what we accept - whether we would be flooded out at St Mary's by Away Fans like leeds or be intimidated by millwall or wet spam. IMO - we passed all the tests last Season - albeit there was a bit of frustration having travelled to Boro Away to see us lose our lead to a deflection and Jose going for the man instead of the ball ... SAINTS FANS LOVE TO WIN. You ask for 100% commitment and there is not argument with that. I respect that point of view. If Saints are in the bottom three next Season - I won't need to boo :O) or do anything IMO Lots of fans will be calling for Nigel's head. NOW IS THE TIME TO STRENGTHEN THE SQUAD. THERE IS MONEY. Many Managers would like to be in Nigel's position - Money and Support from the Chairman and success with the double promotion. LET'S BE AMBITIOUS AND TOGETHER AS ONE FIGHT FOR EUROPEAN FOOTBALL. The Daily Echo are also guilty IMO of selling THE MIGHTY SAINTS as some second rate football club on the AOC issue. They would not let it off the back pages until AOC was sold and now we've all got to kowtow to ars*nil and welcome alex back and all say how well he has done to go to a bigger club. WE ARE IN THE SAME LEAGUE AS ars*nil AND WE AIM TO SMASH THEM WHEN WE PLAY THEM. WE ARE SOUTHAMPTON. RED AND WHITE. WE ARE NUMBER ONE IN THE SOUTH. p.s no time to be sensitive FIGHT AND WIN. COYR.

RedArmy's our sergeant major and his valued role is never to be reasonable and never to be quiet. It's okay for you cerebral types, but the rest of us - especially the drunks like Wobblycat and the idiots like me - need a good kick up the @rse on a regular basis. RedArmy retired himself for a week or so a while back and was called back urgently by very popular demand before we became a complete shambles. Even my Auntie Elspeth, who scares everybody, says RedArmy is the only one on here who isn't a silly rag, tag or bobtail.

There's lot's of arguing on here all the time, but the one thing we all agree on is "The higher they get, the fewer."

There's only one RedArmy and they don't get fewer than that.

THE PRIDE AND THE PASSION.

I'm a Saints fan and you don't speak for me - I don't 'demand' anything from Saints other than 100% commitment.

I certainly don't 'demand' a top ten finish.

Well said Sainty, this guy's a tool

RedArmy's our sergeant major and his valued role is never to be reasonable and never to be quiet. It's okay for you cerebral types, but the rest of us - especially the drunks like Wobblycat and the idiots like me - need a good kick up the @rse on a regular basis. RedArmy retired himself for a week or so a while back and was called back urgently by very popular demand before we became a complete shambles. Even my Auntie Elspeth, who scares everybody, says RedArmy is the only one on here who isn't a silly rag, tag or bobtail.

There's lot's of arguing on here all the time, but the one thing we all agree on is "The higher they get, the fewer."

There's only one RedArmy and they don't get fewer than that.

RED ARMY KEEP IT UP I AM HAVING A BREAK AT THE MO.

WE WANT SUCCESS WE WANT IT NOW AND WE WILL GET IT

WE ARE SOUTHAMPTON AND WE WILL STAY UP AND WE WILL BE IN THE TOP 10

Yeh ,right mate and your the sharpest chisel in the toolkit.
At least redarmy1 nails his colours to the mast. Me,Im all for any passionate saints fan,shouting or not,the days of lets settle for second best are over,that died in the 70/80,s,New generation,new expectations,differe

nt team.
I reckon this club is going to re-define the way a club should be run and hopefully fans like red army1 will get us there,dragging along some like you kicking and moaning,but get there we will regardless.Buy a ticket for the bus or catch the next train out.

Have they invented a new league?
I'm confused.

Unless thay start spending some real money they will be classed as underdogs, the released list is frighteningly short in my opinion,players like Chaplow,Davies and Sneiderlin will look like chumps in the prem.

Money cannot buy that and that is why we will survive our first season back in the EPL.
