    Thoroughly depressing if it does happen, but the very systems that Mr. Mitchell has put in place should ensure that a potentially better replacement comes in his place. Remember we never thought we'd improve on Poch...

    It's the irritation toward that bigger club mentality though that really grates - we can't do it ourselves so we'll buy it.

    Really makes you hope Levy and his toy fall flat on their arse.

    The best analogy is that these other clubs are trying to bridge a chasm between where they are and where they want to be. They look at us and see one stone in our arched bridge and say, "There, that'll fix our problem" little realising that the strength of the bridge relies on every stone in it. The stones themselves are unremarkable but together they make something stronger than you might imagine possible.

    Perhaps we should show them this..?

    We don't buy success, we EARN IT..!

    Actually, we do buy success, but nothing like as much as many other clubs do. But that's not so catchy a line, is it. :)

    Do you reckon Levy would get the point..? No, I don't either. He'd say, How much do I have to pay..?

    Spurs put a lot of expensive eggs in one basket when Bale left for newer pastures......unfortunately for them most of them eggs are now rotten and past their sale by date....not sure Spurs are in a position to splash out on a new free range.

    Excellent.

    Imitation is the biggest form of flattery. Everyone wants to be like Southampton

    Not really sure how this works. Do Spurs have to contact Saints like with players or is this like a normal job that you can just give notice and go? Does he have a confidentiality clause in his contract? Blooming hope so or Saints could get shafted!

    My guess is that he has a notice period. We have had numerous comings and goings in various management jobs under Nicola, so doubt they are on fixed contracts. He is a head of department...not the total department...so mustn't panic. We March On :)

    We can't stop the big clubs (short-termism, ****ers) trying to poach our stars so how do we make SFC irresistible and a place that you just don't want to leave?

    we've just built mitchell a state of the art recruitment facility. obviously the first thing he wants to do is go somewhere else and start again.

    Carrying on the way we're going, seems to be a great idea to me.
