She's like Shane Long in the kitchen , you can't fault the effort but when it comes down to the crunch she ****s it up.
It's ridiculous mate and still gonna get worse I think, be this year or next the bidding starts for the next lot won't it? Have you heard anything about this one Beef or if we're targeting any others instead or a CB etc.
Come on Leslie and Ralph....if we are serious with "ambition" we need to meet the asking price and be done with it.
Nope, not heard anything about transfers coming in, but then I generally don't. I mostly get info about players out sadly
Sounds like typical negotiating to me. Just because we have had a bid rejected doesn't mean it wasn't enough, could be due to add on's or bonuses that they didn't agree with. Don't get why so many people get in a panic over things like this!
Just the nature of things, really. When Rio Ferdinand was purchased for £30m, Man United was the richest club in the world...with an annual turnover (in GBP) just a little below what we earned in 2016-17, and without the transfer income, to boot.
What happened to Ralph's "ambition" of academies in the US and tapping into the Asian market because we are growing.
Btw they expect Prem teams to get around £130m a year in TV rights after the new deal. They think the UK rights will increase a bit but worldwide rights will increase like crazy. So if we are still in the Prem maybe we can spend more. *coughs*
No one in Asia can pronounce "Southampton", so we have that problem to overcome. You'd think we could crack the US though, or at least the Bible Belt, with a nickname like ours.
Come on Les, make it happen! Will personally send you all the Twixs' you can eat if you get this across the line...
