Complimentary article about how Southampton is run...describing us as flexible within an iron framework. Points out that we don't change direction with each manager, but appoint staff to fit in with our system.

Just posted this on transfer thread as I thought it was a really good read

Welcome back Florin. That Two-Bob nickname hasn't caught on yet.

Any one know when the new kit will be released? roughly.

Any one know when the new kit will be released? roughly.

I'd imagine it will be Friday 1st July.

Just confirming that some players are back for preseason...no doubt the club will release videos of players being tortured soon.

Now you know why Vic and Sadio really left, they couldn't face those VO2 Max tests.

I doubt it will be done roughly, more likely a smooth operation, no doubt involving Barry Gale.

Mirror pointing out that Liverpool could have bought Saints 7 times over at the price that Markus paid in 2010. I know, I know....money has been spent since then....but let's go with it for a laugh.

 

[San Tejón]

I looked at the poll, beneath the Mirror story, asking Liverpool fans where they think Mane should be played.
So far 62% think he should be played on the wing. Do that and another of our exports will go backwards, because, IMO, his better play comes from more central positions.

Pompey fans unhappy about playing U23 sides in the JPT Cup (or whatever its called now). I have some sympathy....we really enjoyed our cup run. However, there is no guarantee that an Academy side will win it. Not sure if we have made up our mind to enter it yet. Apparently the prize money has been doubled to get the League clubs to agree to it.

I have full sympathy. It shouldn't be done.

Just found another article on our continued ability to defy gravity. Nothing particularly new, but a well written piece:

Very Good Read

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/sa...__people_behind_the_scenes_at_Saints/?ref=rss

Fonte praises the people behind the scenes at Saints for our continuing progress despite the loss of good players.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football...e-in-cristiano-ronaldo-and-with-him-portugal/

Again apologies if seen before. This is the article in the Telegraph that the Echo lifted Fonte's comments from (before the Poland game). Starts with Fonte's close relationship with Ronaldo (get in his ear about Saints, Jose. I may learn to like him if he played for us ). At the end is a piece about the people who have influenced him in England.

Someone on Saintsweb posed the question: Who could we replace Sammy Lee with. My suggestion is a boxer dog....they get very excited and jump all over you slobbering.

 

[SAINTDON13]

Saintsweb! They seem to worry more about dress sense than capability, and so many with the "never heard of him so he can't be any good" persuasion.
