A proven CL manager like Koeman doesnt take a job to fight relegation. He knew which players were leaving and has the best part of £60m still to spend. Might take a few games for new players to bed in but as SP and AE say its exciting!
Scummers going down?

That relies on the assumption that Katherine is willing to spend the money and isn't just reclaiming what's been spent, with a couple of relatively cheap signings to placate the fans.
Thanks all for the welcome back!
My thoughts exactly.
I am not one for gloating or rivalry really, I would like to see success on the south coast , but not at the demise of football clubs and their supporters.
I do fear for Saints fans. I am not saying they have blinkers on, but how can a team that finished in the top half one season try to emulate that when they have seen half a dozen first team players leave with no real replacements?
I have a feeling it is going to be a long hard season for them - but I am prepared to eat my hat and when I am hopefully proven wrong.
On the note that Koeman would not come for a relegation fight - I don't think he even expected the mass exodus that has occured.
What mass exodus three have gone and two have come in. All three were known before Ron signed and he also knew about the Dejan interest. Watch this space the Saints are on the up!
Pompey maths at work... Name the six or do you mean three, perhaps something else?
Evening Swiss, don't forget Maths is like a beautiful woman..............
Both have a tendency to bring you to tears?
I'm somewhere in the middle of a fair few of these opinions - I do think the players sold to date and the others potentially to still go will impact on our Stripey colleagues - however I also think Koeman is a canny enough operator to be pulling in players that are relatively unknown from European leagues that will solidify their position - I am not so sure they will better their showing of last season but equally I do not think they will be struggling down the wrong end either.
I have to admit that these made me laugh -

Almost at the stage when it would make more financial sense for #LFC to buy #SaintsFC outright, keep the players they want & flog St Mary's.

Nice of you to say so Sa1nts. Yes, Ebbsfleet played very well today, and appeared more "up for it" than the Pompey side they played.
PS. Ebbsfleet have already beaten Charlton & Dagenham this pre-season, so they can't be a poor team.

On that basis, Charlie Sheringham would be an ideal replacement for Rickie Lambert in Saints attack
