Ralph has his faults but you can never question his commitment to Saints. Definitely worth the money we're paying him.
If you watch the Tifo video then Ralph’s comments are encouraging. One of the biggest problems we’ve had has been a poorly managed change in direction when it comes to coaching and transfer/contract policy. The consistency provided by a joined up vision from DoF to the management to the coaching and scouting to the players can only be beneficial long term. We’d all like the club to be better funded, but I think very few of us could disagree with the clear and obvious strategy that they are following at present.
Lingard wants to go on loan for his last six months and Man United don’t want to send him back to West Ham I’d say it would be worth a look at normally - if we hadn’t given a squad spot and wages to Theo
If I were Lingard, and Newcastle were interested, I wouldn’t sign permanently until I knew they wasn’t getting relegated.
Love this, the guy traced his lineage back to Hampshire and naturally chose Saints ahead of the Skates!...
Transfer Talk Saints are considering an approach for Ajax goalkeeper, Charlie Setford. The 17 year-old has already made the bench for Ajax at senior level and reportedly supports the Southampton due to his family originally living in area. [TEAMTalk]
So it’s nearly December, and I got one of those letters you get at this time of year, this one from the Big Issue. Actually read this one, and came across this, so I’d just like to say thank you Saints, for making feel proud of my club…
Is Vin back or do we get a newbie thread setter? Saturday 27th November Liverpool v Southampton 15:00 KO Referee: Andre Marriner. Assistants: Simon Long, Scott Ledger. Fourth official: Kevin Friend. VAR: Lee Mason. Assistant VAR: Simon Beck. Probably the worst combination possible apart from Dean!
