Realistically if Saints and Liverpool are competing for the same player on equal terms it is not unreasonable to expect the player to choose Liverpool over Saints is it? Even though Liverpool are not a shadow of their old selves they are still expected to do better than Saints.
Saints however are trying to change that and to prove that they can compete on the same level with the big boys. They are trying to get the kind of team together that can compete with the very best. It is going to take time just as it is for Liverpool to put their team together.
It is strange to see Liverpool fans on here making statements like "You don't hear Our fans carrying on about our past it is other fans that keep on about it"
That simply is a load of cods wallop.....as soon as any smaller club start sniffing around players that interest Liverpool. The first thing your fans say is "why would they choose that team over ours" The inference being we are bigger than you and a better history, get back in your place. Liverpool have had some better results than us and are further up the league but we are in the same league. At this moment in time you do have a small edge but it isn't that big, as you will find out over the next couple of seasons.
Saying "you can't compete with us" is not winning Liverpool many friends down here or with any of the other clubs. The premier league is slowly but surely evening out........The Man U's, City's, not forgetting the Chelski's of this world are finding out just how much more difficult it is to beat the teams in this league. Man u has had some good results and seems to be running away with the league. Yet in truth they shouldn't be, just look at the number of times they have had to come from behind, to get a draw or a result.
The conclusion then is yes we are competing with the Liverpools of this world and they are just going to have to accept it!
