    There appears to be a pattern. The club makes a statement, we start (I'm being general so don't get carried away) to feel a little bit positive, then we have a negative article and we're in freefall again.

    Just in case. If he has handed in a transfer request, he can add a tattoo on his forehead that says ****er. I'll pay for it. If its bullshit, then all right mate, see you next season and cheers, you love us, and the mail is still a vile rag.

    How would one wake up to a semicolon? It's one of my favourite punctuation marks so I would like to know!

    Semisonic? Closing Time is what I'll be listening to once the club gets liquidated/asset stripped/screwed over and all our players end up elsewhere :smiley-finger007:

    I once ate a fish bone that tore my a small hole in my colon. I thought I would be left with a semi colon.

    Ok then let's build a team of players who are definitely staying:

    Boruc, Wanyama, Davis, JWP..........oh God, this is harder than I thought.

    Has it actually struck anyone that this could be a media ploy to unhinge any decent manager from accepting the job at St Mary's. Seemingly with no players actually staying at the club worth their salt?
    It really is for the board to start fighting back and making statements that players are not for sale request or no!!
    We really seem to have a bit of a weak board vocabulary wise it seems......

    Our board is emerging as an absolute ****ing shambles.

    Only yesterday Reed said no players would be sold without the approval of the new manager.

    Well I personally love it when this site goes all meta and starts critiquing itself.

    24 hours seems a long time when concerning the Saints.

    Yes, particularly when nothing of substance has changed at all for so many days.

    Yawn.......

    Agreed to a point, but why is it all about our players. Everton aren't likely to get Champion's League next year but we don't hear anything about Barkley going to the big boys despite him supposedly being the best young player in Europe. I don't think Everton are much ahead of us. There's no big noise about Suarez going to Real Madrid, he seems happy at Liverpool despite Madrid offering big bucks and a huge fee. I know we haven't got a manager but there's so much noise at the moment about unrest. Cork & Fonte who are unlikely to go to a Champion's League club are supposedly not happy that no one has spoken to them about their contracts. Adam, Luke & Dejan making it very public that they want out.

    Because, with all the best intentions in the world, our owner does not know what she's doing, her advisers are poor, & below that they are generally disliked. Other than that, I see no problems.

    This is a relief. Göring Cock has seemed to be getting some things right lately and it's reassuring to see a return to form.

    If I was being hypercritical I would suggest that:

    Les Reed is a cantankerous ogre who is pushing the players away and has a poor relationship with most of the team and staff.

    Ralph Krueger is a genuinely nice guy, well spoken and positive but a bit like a **** phone with a fancy phone cover. He is out of his depth and is ultimately Les Reed's "yes" man.

    Katharina Liebherr is completely oblivious as to what is needed to own and run a football club. She inherited it from her late father and she feels she owes it to him to take an interest.
