    Alternatively you could dig a tunnel under the A326. Pop up in the penalty area of the main pitch, should get the job done.

    Not really, club with no or new manager ... players have to get on with it.

    Agree with that, but as I said, the club will live on beyond Cortese & the Liebherrs, with whoever that may be.

    Cortese will be a big, big loss, but he'll be replaced accordingly I'm sure.

    That's a different kind of scoop. Wouldn't want to damage the pop-up sprinkler system.

    Reports suggesting we've agreed a fee of £24.4 million with Man City for Luke Shaw.

    Reports also suggesting the club's decision to sell him has come right from the top and not from Cortese.

    You have to give a source for these "reports".

    Wow, it gets worse.

    January is not a good month to be a Saints fan.

    Well that would definitely explain why Cortese wants out.

    Selling Shaw undermines everything we have built in the last couple of years.

    Yes it does.......but at that price.....is it really a reason to throw in the towel on EVERYTHING? More a reason to try and get the club sold to different owners I'd think?

    Out of interest, who would he actually give a written resignation to? Isn't he the top dog at club level?

    But he is the Executive Chairman - there is no such Board of Southampton Football Club.
