It’s all very quiet on that isn’t it? Considering we’ve known he’s been leaving/he’s left for what, 6 months? Can’t remember the exact time it came out that he was going, but you’d think behind the scenes they would’ve known longer than we have
Maybe the Saints 'Director of Football' role should be decided by a sort of Apprentice/Crystal Maze/Takeshi's Castle gameshow, where contestants have to oversee ever more difficult footballing scenarios, and the one that gets the most victories is given a job alongside Russell Martin.
Seems as if the club are forcing the likes of me out of purchasing tickets for home games. From Liverpool onwards (so Tottenham, West Ham, Brentford), there will be no general sale window. Just another cash grab on loyal fans who can't get to many games, and actually preventative for newbie fans as well, surely? I was hoping to take my 2 kids for their 1st game over christmas; the club can go **** themselves and swivel on my middle finger. Personally, it's just another nail in the coffin for me, and I just won't bother anymore. Not like they're letting me!
Be loads of tickets available next season. You're right though that this moving to mandatory memberships by stealth stinks.
