    Ralph says Saints will be going to North America in 2016, to coach and teach football overseas and to grow the club's reputation.

    Koeman says he would sign a new contract to stay as Saints manager if he's happy, the club is still growing and the team is developing.

    Fan now asking if loyalty is rewarded well enough.

    Drawing attention to the 10% club shop discount for STHs now being limited to just one purchase, rather than any purchase.

    Krueger responds by asking for the full name of the fan, and says he will talk to him and there'll be a phone call to discuss it.

    Says the club will keep looking at ways to help the travelling support and put things on for the fans that'll be of benefit to the supporters.

    Fan and businessman says that a lot of doors were 'slammed shut' by Nicola Cortese. He asks if Saints are accessible to local firms?

    Ralph: "We will never forget where home is."

    Ralph notes the man's full name and says he will have a conversation with him after tonight about opportunities for local firms to get involved at Saints.

    Female fan asks if Saints would establish a Women's Super League team, and if they can do something about the shirts in the club shop.

    Les says he is talking to The FA and The Hampshire FA.

    Says there are three teams with an association to the club, but it's a long path. Saints have now taken over control of the Hampshire FA's centre of excellence for girls. Les says they will develop in the same manner of the academy and that will come to be known as 'Southampton Ladies'.

    Krueger says that he appreciates the comments about shirt sizing for female fans, it will be noted and the club will look at it.

    Reed says when players say they want UCL football, what they really mean is they want what comes with being at a UCL club.

    He then went on to say: 'There are examples of players who make those moves and their careers actually plummet. But they plummet on a very healthy pay packet.'

    It's revealed that two players turned down bigger offers to be with the club this season.

    Ronald Koeman asked who his favourite manager to go up against is: "Mourinho. Because he's still not winning against us."

    A fan asks about Swansea's '£25 per away game' limit and whether Saints will be following suit or doing something similar.

    Ralph says the club needs to avoid making losses wherever possible, but they will look at what Swansea are doing, how they are doing it and whether we can do something ourselves.

    The fan forum ends with Ronald Koeman saying that the toughest player he ever played against in his career was George Weah.

    I think the big three learned more than the assembled crowd about our club and what it wants, so hopefuly not a waste of time?

    These would be a lot more useful if they cut out the "who's your favourite manager" bullshit.
