    the money will be used to pay for the academy which was substantially over-spent.

    I can't see the point in the economics of selling everyone. As said above, we won't spend anywhere near this on a new squad and if Morgan and Jay leave too as quoted by the BBC were will be lucky to convince a whole first teams worth of players to join us! It's got to the point where we don't need the money and any bid we make will likely be rebuffed for an unrealistic market figure.

    Spectacularly mis-managed by the Saints board and it will bound to male the likes of settled players start to think about moving elsewhere too. Sending out the wrong message and pretty unprecedented in our history. Don't think that many players left Saints after we were relegated from the PL before. It is worrying .

    To spend whatever Markus spent on a League One team with PL foundations is smart business. To spend hundreds of millions on a PL team which will struggle to get any higher is something only a madman will do.

    These types of signings would be the only thing that would stop me from crying myself to sleep.

    At the end of last season, I'd have said there's no way we'd sell all the players we did sell.

    Let's see what happens.

    So, that would be seven of our first eleven from last year being shipped out. How are fans supposed to view that as anything else than a pocket-lining fire sale?

    He could have, but an outsider certainly wouldn't bet £200m on it.

    Can view it how you want. As of this moment I don't deem it as that, koeman coming here for one gives me enough reason to doubt it.
