The real question is who buys the players? Anyone who saw the team last season knew the defence was sketchy.

With the defence we have nothing can be done by anyone until January when it will be too late so step forward Cortese and admit that you signed Ramirez and tell us who is responsible for the others. I am sure Adkins wanted defenders but is such a Gent he is going to take the fall for this mess. p.s Hiro doesn't count, he is obviously not a proper footballer and probably came in a Kinder egg.

"I'm not on a match-by-match basis, the chairman wants me to be Southampton manager," Adkins told BBC South Sport.

"We are in a relegation dogfight but we are going to fight and keep pushing everyone on.

"We are going to graft and grind and people will be accountable.

"We will stand up and take responsibility and ultimately the players on the pitch will score goals and will keep them out at the other end.

"We will do it because we need to do it and we want to do it and we will do it.
We are all working for the same cause and that's to make sure Southampton Football Club stay in the Premier League."

Now all true Saints fans, quit whingeing and whining and get behind the Manager and the team ( I said that, not Nigel!)

Yes, I remember seeing on ceefax that we were going to sign Buttner for about 9 weeks. Butland is fantastic but we cannot blame Kelvo for the goal's we've shipped. He made two blinding saves against Arsenal. We wouldn't pay enough for Olson, Buttner or Butland but splashed £11m on Ramirez,great player but not what we needed and that money would have bought us Butland and Buttner.

I think Nicola is not the kind of man many proclaim him to be. I could be wrong, but I personally think Nicola knows he has got the right man to take Southampton football club forward.

Whilst the negative posters (luckily they are in a minority) will believe Nigel is the wrong man to take us forward, I do believe that jumping once again to a new manager would be wrong at this stage. If we stop and look at the bigger picture, Southampton FC will be far better with Nigel long term than without him, just my opinion, but I strongly feel this.

If we look at what Nigel has done over the last two years it has been nothing short of amazing. Whilst (again) the knockers would say that he had the tools to work with in terms of financial backing, I would point out that this does not guarantee success. Look at Leicester last year, they spent a lot of money and had an experienced manager who had worked at international and top league level! This is where the experience argument is also flawed.

Clubs often go down the same route and look at the "experienced" managers and players, sometimes this does not help. Some experience can be a weight upon the shoulders.

I know that some posters repeatedly shout for somebody more experienced to come in and help Nigel, this will never happen in my opinion. I don't think Nigel would welcome any interference into his methodology, Nigel has fronted it up and said he has made mistakes and that he picks the team and formations, so if it goes wrong it is his fault. I think he would rather walk away with his head held high than introduce somebody into the set up who could overshadow what has been achieved.

I know this is a strong statement, but I would be willing for Saints to be a "yo yo" club for a couple of years if needs be. Nigel has Saints in his heart and it is evident he has grown to love the club. If Nicola shows him strong support and loyalty over the next 18 months or so, you can guarantee that Nigel will return the loyalty.

As a club, we have done the same mistakes over and over prior to our current regime. However, I feel we are a different club now. We do not do things like everyone else. I hope we show strength and unity and keep faith with Nigel. In my opinion, the alternatives could be detrimental to our long term plans.

I also did not and would not make any insulting comment based on a player's ethnic origin and in an effort to further moderate my coments would suggest that you just don't smile at him if you are his Taxi driver for the evening.

I remember the article /tv program where they looked at Adkins record before he became our manager.
he was good at getting teams promotion out of the lower league but then got stuck in the championship.
yes he took us one further but that's what he is paid to do.
Unless you were wearing red & white tinted glasses last year you would know our defence wasn't good enough for that league let alone the premiership.
in the end we were lucky not to be in the play offs but WH were & look how well they're playing so why pay out just under £20million on attacking players when it was so obvious our defence needed strengthening?
Why not buy young Schmiechal ?
Why not strengthen the defence & bring in a play maker in midfield?
Then with a good defence if our strikers aren't up to it & we were drawing instead of winning buy a top class striker in the January transfer market but why strengthen an attack when we could & were scoring goals?
Unless we win our next three games I think Adkins is gone.
He says we will work on it in training? so what's happening from training to the game? do the players want to play for him?

Their manager organises them and teaches them. They are the worst team in Prem history and the worst defence in Europe.
You can only paint with the colours on your palette but he chose them. There are mitigating circumstances; rapid promotion limited transfer time difficult initial fixtures.
He's gotta get the best from the cards in his hands and he's not: they all stand in the wrong place and do the wrong things. In 5 matches time there is no excuses left, if they are in the bottom three then, then there is no need for the manager?

Envy will eat you up kent and is not good for you. You spend so much time on here it might be better to convert to a saint and join our happy family. Why else apart from envy and a deep longing to be a part of the SFC dream would you spend so long on here.

Pompey needs to survive, but only so that other supporters of respectable clubs can look at you lot and feel good about themselves. No matter how poor their club's form or their off field goings on, PFC will always be there to reassure us fans that things could be a lot worse, that at least we've got good business ethics, good infrastucture, backers, players, supporters etc. PFC will be the equivalent of that distant cousin your parents warned you could turn out like if you're not careful - thieving druggie repeat offenders, in and out of prison, doomed to a low life on benefits or a leper colony of a sink estate somewhere in, well.... Pompey. No money, no ground, no manager, no future, despised by every club and supported in the land. Oh and minus 10 points, 4 to go down.

I just wanted to comment in advance of saturday's game. I see that the Boruc investigation is now complete.

Now I sit in the Kingsland stand and did not witness the 'bottle chucking allegation' I am not saying it didn't happen - I just didn't see it. I did however witness fans behind the Chapel booing him after that goal went in. I saw him clap the crowd behind him in a 'thanks very much' manner. Quite understandable in my opinion.

What followed was as mentioned unseen or heard by me. However clearly the booing upset him.

I detest the booing of any player. We can boo a decision perhaps but not the player.

This is a plea really for every fan in every stand to give Boruc a good welcome should he be selected - which in my opinion is quite likely. Given where we are, I expect Adders will go for an experienced keeper. Gazza looks good actually and I'd be keen to see him continue - but experience behind the defence will reassure the back four so that may be the call.

So if this happens - come on Saints fans - all in it together - let's give Adkins a rousing reception and the same for Boruc.

Every game is going to be tough and we may get nothing from Swansea (but I think we shall) - but looking at WBA - it was not unlucky - but sometimes the luck turns in your favour. We played well away from home. Hit the bar, should have had a free kick and then a penalty. When the luck turns that will be the difference between 0-2 and 2-0.

keep the faith and not much can be done now til January regards personnel but a fitter Ramirez and just good old hard work should steer us safe. We are much better than the table shows.

So you're suggesting that Ramirez was bought instead of defenders? Really? How do you know we wouldn't pay enough for defenders? Sometimes enough is actually too much!
If we couldn't at the time time secure better defenders than we already have why buy any?

Let's look forward to better things and more quality coming into the club in January.

What followed was as mentioned unseen or heard by me. However clearly the booing upset him.

I detest the booing of any player. We can boo a decision perhaps but not the player.

This is a plea really for every fan in every stand to give Boruc a good welcome should he be selected - which in my opinion is quite likely. Given where we are, I expect Adders will go for an experienced keeper. Gazza looks good actually and I'd be keen to see him continue - but experience behind the defence will reassure the back four so that may be the call.

So if this happens - come on Saints fans - all in it together - let's give Adkins a rousing reception and the same for Boruc.

Every game is going to be tough and we may get nothing from Swansea (but I think we shall) - but looking at WBA - it was not unlucky - but sometimes the luck turns in your favour. We played well away from home. Hit the bar, should have had a free kick and then a penalty. When the luck turns that will be the difference between 0-2 and 2-0.

keep the faith and not much can be done now til January regards personnel but a fitter Ramirez and just good old hard work should steer us safe. We are much better than the table shows.

Good post.

Come on Ted, I appreciate we don't know the facts, but he makes a fair point. Based on historic prices and wages for defenders it is clear that we could have strengthened the defence significantly with the money spent on Ramirez.

Whether that was the right or wrong decision is open to question, but it is a fair statement.

And you can't be serious in saying that (in a two month window) there were no options out there that could have improved on what we already have.

Moaning about it when it is too late doesn't help clearly (although I think we all saw this coming before the start of the season), but it is a fair comment.

Whilst the negative posters (luckily they are in a minority) will believe Nigel is the wrong man to take us forward, I do believe that jumping once again to a new manager would be wrong at this stage. If we stop and look at the bigger picture, Southampton FC will be far better with Nigel long term than without him, just my opinion, but I strongly feel this.

If we look at what Nigel has done over the last two years it has been nothing short of amazing. Whilst (again) the knockers would say that he had the tools to work with in terms of financial backing, I would point out that this does not guarantee success. Look at Leicester last year, they spent a lot of money and had an experienced manager who had worked at international and top league level! This is where the experience argument is also flawed.

Clubs often go down the same route and look at the "experienced" managers and players, sometimes this does not help. Some experience can be a weight upon the shoulders.

I know that some posters repeatedly shout for somebody more experienced to come in and help Nigel, this will never happen in my opinion. I don't think Nigel would welcome any interference into his methodology, Nigel has fronted it up and said he has made mistakes and that he picks the team and formations, so if it goes wrong it is his fault. I think he would rather walk away with his head held high than introduce somebody into the set up who could overshadow what has been achieved.

I know this is a strong statement, but I would be willing for Saints to be a "yo yo" club for a couple of years if needs be. Nigel has Saints in his heart and it is evident he has grown to love the club. If Nicola shows him strong support and loyalty over the next 18 months or so, you can guarantee that Nigel will return the loyalty.

As a club, we have done the same mistakes over and over prior to our current regime. However, I feel we are a different club now. We do not do things like everyone else. I hope we show strength and unity and keep faith with Nigel. In my opinion, the alternatives could be detrimental to our long term plans.

Danny Fox, in their half, had a 5 yard start over a 60 yard foot race.
Completely, seemingly unaware of the situation going on, he appeared to just amble back in the first 20 yards.Only seemed to wake up after Odemwingy went past him.
We cannot continue to play this player
his positive play is completely outweighed by his poor defensive duties.(By far, most of the goals coceeded have been from the oppositions right wing position)
I have to be honest I have never felt he was up to playing in the Prem.
That said, Ihave always hoped that I would be proved to have been wrong.
Alas no!
Cannot play him Saturday we have either to play Clyne there or give Luke Shaw the job.

I must agree with you about Fox, whilst I try and support him whilst on the pitch, he is a player I feel has been a real weak link within our back 4. Too often Yoshida will be coming over to the left to cover or Lallana will need to bust a gut to get back to cover the position.

What was encouraging for me was the introduction of Luke Shaw against WBA. He wasn't on long, but there were a couple of occasions where he was in great defensive positions. He got close to the opposition and blocked the ball and ultimately stopping a cross into the box. I know he wasn't on for long, but he looked quite assured for the short spell he was on the pitch.

At least you get to see some amazing goals this season just a shame you won't be scoring any of them. PUP PPU!

2. Similarly, we know we're likely to concede a goal, maybe two, in a match, so when we do, don't automatically assume it's game over and go all quiet and/or start to panic. Keep cheering, get behind the team, because we know we can score goals - conceding one first isn't necessarily the end of th world.

Didn't we have six points until late November when we went to Ewood Park, Steve Basham scored his only goal for us in a 2-0 win in which we leapfrogged them and got Roy Hodgson sacked...

We've done it before, we can damned well do it again :-)

COYR

And now Hodgson is the England manager.he got the push from liverpool too.i reckon DAVE JONES is a better manager than Hodgson and Nigel Adkins is a better manager than Dave Jones.Blimey using that as a logical basis its NIGEL ADKINS for ENGLAND. THERE HAS BEEN 3 eNGLAND MANAGERS ALREADY WITH sOUTHAMPTON CONNECTIONS-ramsey,h

oddle AND keegan.Plus LAWRIE MAC was no 2 to turnip taylor.So maybe one day it will be NA as the england big cheese.remember you read it here first.

Scooter75 and Stormshadow you are both skates, if not the same person? what has any of this got to do with you? You surely should be concentrating on debating your new manager not wasting your time on here where no one is interested in your dross.

No future.

They havent even got a orange faced clueless manager like Adkins.

Sadly we do have you coming on here with your obsesive disorder, I suggest you seek help, the condition could be symptomatic of more serious mental problems.

Hey Kent, just to prove you're a Saint and not a skunt do you agree to the following:

All skunts should be gassed hard. They are the product of generations of inbreeding on Portsea Island which is a hovel with the lowest literacy rates in the south. Fratton Park is a disease ridden dump and smells of fish. Saints have always been, and will always be, a much better supported and more successful side than the skates.

But look who Adkins was managing!!

How well have they done since he left? I think your point about his record at Scunthorpe shows he over achieved there as well!!

I agree, we all saw our defence was not up to it, but we did add Clyne (who looks superb) and Yoshida. It is well documented that we looked at adding others, some deals never come off. It happens, look at Liverpool, they loaned out a striker in the belief they would get a replacement striker, the deal fell through and they ended up with nothing!!! Deals fall through at all clubs. We have to get on with what we have got.

So if Adkins goes, who would you suggest would be a better option? It's all well to say "sack the manager", but we do need a viable alternative who will be good for our club medium to long term.

Now I sit in the Kingsland stand and did not witness the 'bottle chucking allegation' I am not saying it didn't happen - I just didn't see it. I did however witness fans behind the Chapel booing him after that goal went in. I saw him clap the crowd behind him in a 'thanks very much' manner. Quite understandable in my opinion.

What followed was as mentioned unseen or heard by me. However clearly the booing upset him.

I detest the booing of any player. We can boo a decision perhaps but not the player.

This is a plea really for every fan in every stand to give Boruc a good welcome should he be selected - which in my opinion is quite likely. Given where we are, I expect Adders will go for an experienced keeper. Gazza looks good actually and I'd be keen to see him continue - but experience behind the defence will reassure the back four so that may be the call.

So if this happens - come on Saints fans - all in it together - let's give Adkins a rousing reception and the same for Boruc.

Every game is going to be tough and we may get nothing from Swansea (but I think we shall) - but looking at WBA - it was not unlucky - but sometimes the luck turns in your favour. We played well away from home. Hit the bar, should have had a free kick and then a penalty. When the luck turns that will be the difference between 0-2 and 2-0.

keep the faith and not much can be done now til January regards personnel but a fitter Ramirez and just good old hard work should steer us safe. We are much better than the table shows.

The table doesent lie, we deserve to be where we are, its that simple.

I agree, we all saw our defence was not up to it, but we did add Clyne (who looks superb) and Yoshida. It is well documented that we looked at adding others, some deals never come off. It happens, look at Liverpool, they loaned out a striker in the belief they would get a replacement striker, the deal fell through and they ended up with nothing!!! Deals fall through at all clubs. We have to get on with what we have got.

So if Adkins goes, who would you suggest would be a better option? It's all well to say "sack the manager", but we do need a viable alternative who will be good for our club medium to long term.

Paul Ince? what about Alan Shearer maybe not?
There must be a good manager who would love a go at Premier football ( Bournemouths guy?).
mind you several manager Cortese let go are doing quite well aren't they?

"Several manager Cortese has let go is doing quite well aren't they?"??...

He's only ever sacked Pardew!!

Who are the several?

Unless you were wearing red & white tinted glasses last year you would know our defence wasn't good enough for that league let alone the premiership.
in the end we were lucky not to be in the play offs but WH were & look how well they're playing so why pay out just under £20million on attacking players when it was so obvious our defence needed strengthening?
Why not buy young Schmiechal ?
Why not strengthen the defence & bring in a play maker in midfield?
Then with a good defence if our strikers aren't up to it & we were drawing instead of winning buy a top class striker in the January transfer market but why strengthen an attack when we could & were scoring goals?
Unless we win our next three games I think Adkins is gone.
He says we will work on it in training? so what's happening from training to the game? do the players want to play for him?

I really think you should have stuck to rugger old chap

Which part of 'we tried to sign a different LB and CB and GK but the deals fell through' are you finding it hard to understand
Put yourself in Butners place Would you sign for Fergusson or Adkins?

If you think Schmiechmal would have been a good buy then ask yourself why he has had 7 (I think) clubs in such a short space of time Wouldn't be because he's disruptive element would it

We were not lucky to get auto promotion It was because we were more consistant than all bar Reading And how well are they doing?

why would a pompey make himself to be saints fan,im pretty sure no saints fan would do vice versa ,there is about 4 of you doing it ,what a sad group of people .it just highlights how hard it must be to be a portsmouth fan,i cannot see any saints fans going on the news claiming to be a skunt.it just has laughable your as your administration and you could not even pay wages on the news every day in the premier league .and you lot reckon were a laughing stock really .we are paying 20. to 25.000 a week and we get 27 to 31.000 ,not paying 60.000 when we only get 17.000 and stlll paying 35.000 in the champioship ,now your paying fot it still another manager as jumped ship.10 poits off soon and your heading for league 2 ,can you blame mike appleton.now he is at a btter club with real fans .a club that runs by its own means,he has much better players better training ground ,you all love the saints dont you deep down ,is this to compensate for the soon loss of your club ,stid

I think Nicola is not the kind of man many proclaim him to be. I could be wrong, but I personally think Nicola knows he has got the right man to take Southampton football club forward.

Whilst the negative posters (luckily they are in a minority) will believe Nigel is the wrong man to take us forward, I do believe that jumping once again to a new manager would be wrong at this stage. If we stop and look at the bigger picture, Southampton FC will be far better with Nigel long term than without him, just my opinion, but I strongly feel this.

If we look at what Nigel has done over the last two years it has been nothing short of amazing. Whilst (again) the knockers would say that he had the tools to work with in terms of financial backing, I would point out that this does not guarantee success. Look at Leicester last year, they spent a lot of money and had an experienced manager who had worked at international and top league level! This is where the experience argument is also flawed.

Clubs often go down the same route and look at the "experienced" managers and players, sometimes this does not help. Some experience can be a weight upon the shoulders.

I know that some posters repeatedly shout for somebody more experienced to come in and help Nigel, this will never happen in my opinion. I don't think Nigel would welcome any interference into his methodology, Nigel has fronted it up and said he has made mistakes and that he picks the team and formations, so if it goes wrong it is his fault. I think he would rather walk away with his head held high than introduce somebody into the set up who could overshadow what has been achieved.

I know this is a strong statement, but I would be willing for Saints to be a "yo yo" club for a couple of years if needs be. Nigel has Saints in his heart and it is evident he has grown to love the club. If Nicola shows him strong support and loyalty over the next 18 months or so, you can guarantee that Nigel will return the loyalty.

As a club, we have done the same mistakes over and over prior to our current regime. However, I feel we are a different club now. We do not do things like everyone else. I hope we show strength and unity and keep faith with Nigel. In my opinion, the alternatives could be detrimental to our long term plans.

His final comment in the BBC article speaks volumes of the man - he's not letting this go without a fight.
I often wonder when a manager is sacked how much of it is the club saying 'go' and the manager saying 'I've had enough'
any media statement is always massaged to give the best possible result

Well Nigel can't say Cortese is ignoring his wishes.
Nigel said he didn't want a vote of confidence and Cortese certainly hasn't given him one!
On the contrary the article reads very much like Nigel is giving Cortese a vote of confidence.
Maybe Nigel recalls what happened to his predecessor, a successful, strong minded manager under Cortese and is just lapping up to NC to keep his job.

Fox must be dropped in favour of Shaw, he is constantly caught out of position and lacks pace to get goal-side again. Check out how many goals we've conceded through his area.
Even his corners are c**p this season!
Whoever plays there also needs much more help from midfield, this is one part of Lallana's game that needs drastic improvement

Ted Rogers wrote:
Salient points given to a proper news agency...

"I'm not on a match-by-match basis, the chairman wants me to be Southampton manager," Adkins told BBC South Sport.

"We are in a relegation dogfight but we are going to fight and keep pushing everyone on.

"We are going to graft and grind and people will be accountable.

"We will stand up and take responsibility and ultimately the players on the pitch will score goals and will keep them out at the other end.

"We will do it because we need to do it and we want to do it and we will do it.
We are all working for the same cause and that's to make sure Southampton Football Club stay in the Premier League."

Now all true Saints fans, quit whingeing and whining and get behind the Manager and the team ( I said that, not Nigel!)

Dyer will skin Fox alive, so if Nigel has learnt one thing it is that Fox cannot be selected, and must be replaced in on the first day of the January sales.

Good in the championship but too slow for the prem and the same goes for Fonte.

Good shout, I like the lad and he certainly has a good kick on him. Also hearing Corky might be back. Would like to see the following formation against Swansea.

Gazzaniga, Clyne, yoshida, fonte, shaw.
Schneiderlin, Cork
Punchy, gaston. Lallana
Ricky.
With k.davis, hooiveld, Mayuka, lee, ward-prowse, chappers and Richardson on the bench.

Osprey I always try to see the Saints on telly if I'm not watching my local Rugby team.
I can't believe the defence as you say he asked about players but surely the main priority must have been to replace the defence surely?
Osprey who's that idiot who calls me a Skate?
I wouldn't call anyone that in my sport & surely time will tell if Adkins stays or goes do you think he'll have time to turn it around?

Well it looks like Adkins is here to stay so lets let him get on with the job in hand. Hopefully he can turn things around.

due to force 14 being so clever, and wth his sharp insight, and great perception of all things football.I've recommended him for the vacant pompey managers position.

I remember the article /tv program where they looked at Adkins record before he became our manager.
he was good at getting teams promotion out of the lower league but then got stuck in the championship.
yes he took us one further but that's what he is paid to do.
Unless you were wearing red & white tinted glasses last year you would know our defence wasn't good enough for that league let alone the premiership.
in the end we were lucky not to be in the play offs but WH were & look how well they're playing so why pay out just under £20million on attacking players when it was so obvious our defence needed strengthening?
Why not buy young Schmiechal ?
Why not strengthen the defence & bring in a play maker in midfield?
Then with a good defence if our strikers aren't up to it & we were drawing instead of winning buy a top class striker in the January transfer market but why strengthen an attack when we could & were scoring goals?
Unless we win our next three games I think Adkins is gone.
He says we will work on it in training? so what's happening from training to the game? do the players want to play for him?

But look who Adkins was managing!!

How well have they done since he left? I think your point about his record at Scunthorpe shows he over achieved there as well!!

I agree, we all saw our defence was not up to it, but we did add Clyne (who looks superb) and Yoshida. It is well documented that we looked at adding others, some deals never come off. It happens, look at Liverpool, they loaned out a striker in the belief they would get a replacement striker, the deal fell through and they ended up with nothing!!! Deals fall through at all clubs. We have to get on with what we have got.

So if Adkins goes, who would you suggest would be a better option? It's all well to say "sack the manager", but we do need a viable alternative who will be good for our club medium to long term.

Paul Ince? what about Alan Shearer maybe not?
There must be a good manager who would love a go at Premier football ( Bournemouths guy?).
mind you several manager Cortese let go are doing quite well aren't they?

I think Nicola is not the kind of man many proclaim him to be. I could be wrong, but I personally think Nicola knows he has got the right man to take Southampton football club forward.

Whilst the negative posters (luckily they are in a minority) will believe Nigel is the wrong man to take us forward, I do believe that jumping once again to a new manager would be wrong at this stage. If we stop and look at the bigger picture, Southampton FC will be far better with Nigel long term than without him, just my opinion, but I strongly feel this.

If we look at what Nigel has done over the last two years it has been nothing short of amazing. Whilst (again) the knockers would say that he had the tools to work with in terms of financial backing, I would point out that this does not guarantee success. Look at Leicester last year, they spent a lot of money and had an experienced manager who had worked at international and top league level! This is where the experience argument is also flawed.

Clubs often go down the same route and look at the "experienced" managers and players, sometimes this does not help. Some experience can be a weight upon the shoulders.

I know that some posters repeatedly shout for somebody more experienced to come in and help Nigel, this will never happen in my opinion. I don't think Nigel would welcome any interference into his methodology, Nigel has fronted it up and said he has made mistakes and that he picks the team and formations, so if it goes wrong it is his fault. I think he would rather walk away with his head held high than introduce somebody into the set up who could overshadow what has been achieved.

I know this is a strong statement, but I would be willing for Saints to be a "yo yo" club for a couple of years if needs be. Nigel has Saints in his heart and it is evident he has grown to love the club. If Nicola shows him strong support and loyalty over the next 18 months or so, you can guarantee that Nigel will return the loyalty.

As a club, we have done the same mistakes over and over prior to our current regime. However, I feel we are a different club now. We do not do things like everyone else. I hope we show strength and unity and keep faith with Nigel. In my opinion, the alternatives could be detrimental to our long term plans.

Force 14 - what's that? Yr age or yr IQ? Perhaps the number of actual pledges to the PST that aren't actually fictional? Maybe it's a reference to the number of fans who DIDN'T boo their team off on Monday night, given that everyone else had left long before the final whistle? Tell you what chap, you keep the drivel coming, it's just ammunition for us in the end. Amazed that you are so generous really. Thanks!

I think "off to the pub" is a euphemism for "I'm dopey feckin tw@t that should know better". but as I'm not fluent in kuntish I might be wrong.

Cortese quotes: In case you have forgotten: 2009 "I realise that there are great expectations and I will ensure that every effort is expended to meet these expectations, but effectively we need to restructure and create a solid base from which we can build and become successful. This will take time. We will take our example from our supporters, who already are what we aim to become – Premier League. With their support we will again become a Premier League Club. The supporters, the City of Southampton and the region deserve nothing less. Everyone at the Club will be fully committed to responding to this great challenge". And "Clubs spend money they do not have; they spend next year’s income. They spend money that will not arrive for two years and say, "But we'll have some success and bring in more cash to cover the shortfall". It cannot be sustained. In good times you need to be saving money for the bad times. If we reach the Premier League, I would like to be in a position where we did not need parachute payments. In good years you should put money away for the bad years". ---- Doesn't sound like a meglomaniac to me.
