    I'd rather we didn't mate, if it was upto me I wouldn't sell him even for 60-70 million. Happy enough to sign a 6 year deal last year, he can honour at least a 3rd of that.

    He probably will go though for around 40-45... to you lot or City <wah>

    Still need investment on top of that imo.

    Don't believe Poch would have done much better than the current guy.

    I think we should tell you lot to **** right off <laugh>

    We won't, but we should ;)

    Still unsure if your board will spend that much on a cb... but as a Saints fan have learnt to never say never.

    Sorry my mistake about new owners, just a change in who controlled the club. It is strange though that at about 3.30 pm he is saying, in the Telegraph as well as Talk****e that he is definitely staying and by 11 pm the Telegraph is reporting he will consider his position. Was he not impressed with Katherina Liebherr's commitment when he met her. She appears to have not attended many games. It is very difficult for any of us to know the real reasons for most things that happen in football these days. I don't want to fall out with you but whenever Talk****e is quoted I need to have access to half of a salt mine

    Whilst I agree that talksport is a **** source, a direct quote is a direct quote.

    I think Poch was told that a couple of players would be sold and the spending will be reigned in a tad, and that, along with interest from Spurs was enough for him to fancy the move.

    He was a Cortese appointment and Cortese was always solely in charge of the club despite never owning a stake, while in the PL he took out 1 or 2 high interest loans which alerted Kat, and prompted her to want to restructure the board, whilst still offering him a place on it. Fair enough. He also got a bit power mad with talks of him wanting his own personal glass elevator in the middle of the new training ground to take him to take to his office etc.

    He didn't want to stay unless he had full 100% control like he always had. That's why he ultimately left.

    There's no doubt that we were originally an unwanted inheritance from Kat, but she has since said that she has grown fonder of the club than she ever imagined she would, probably due to her Fathers memory. Does look likely she will be selling up (at least a majority stake) in the very near future though as she's said that the club needs more investment to continue to progress which she can/will not do. Again, fair enough. Worth remembering she is no where near as rich as what her Father was on the whole. Not sure it's true that she hasn't attended many games btw, she doesn't attend all, but a fair few I believe.

    I don't wanna fall out with you either mate but hope the above gives you a bit of understanding, and like I said to NSIS, all water under the bridge now really. You lot got a good manager, and we have progressed since <ok>

    I shouldn't be surprised if HIAG has been called to Moscow at short notice ... not to worry mind ... Saintsfan generally pops up when HIAG has such temporary absences and would obviously be a lot closerr to all matters to do with season tickets at the club <whistle>

    The chant was foul.
    It weren't racist. He was called Judas for obvious reasons and the hanging from a tree line is a reference to how Judas died.
    Personally, I don't think laughing at HIV is acceptable and being cruel outta mental health problems is sick too...there were plenty of true things about Campbell to criticise so will never understand why him being gay or not was ever an issue.
    Mind you he and his family seem to have an issue with gay people as he always got offended if he was called gay and his brother did time for battering a fellow student who said Campbell was gay.

    It wasn't sung regularly ... it was sung in 2008 v Portsmouth away and some fans were arrested and the club threatened to ban anyone singing it.

    The second one was sung a lot though.

    It does happen on my iPad. It kind of assumes the next word you want to type, whether you have spelt the actual word you want correctly or not!!
