State they are in: Steady and improved financial stewardship, and expectation-exceeding performances in the league – not what was direly predicted when the former executive chairman, Nicola Cortese, left in January 2014, followed by the manager, Mauricio Pochettino, and a clutch of prized young players. The owner, Katharina Liebherr, who inherited the club among the business interests of her father, Markus, when he died in 2010, appointed another chairman, Ralph Krueger, and the club has continued to flourish under Ronald Koeman’s management. The accounts show that Liebherr financially supports the Saints; she increased her loans to £33m, on which £1.6m interest has accrued.
We are only 9th in the wage tables due to paying off Osvaldo.
 
I think it was disgraceful that he couldn't enjoy one of the best moments of his career. The FA Cup may not seem to be what it was. but any manager would be proud to win it and should have been allowed to enjoy it. Apparently, he was informed by his wife that he'd been sacked just before he went into the media suite. He didn't deserve that.
