Great post! We should never forget what nearly happened! no one has any excuse for not going to games anymore. Do u think they will release the price of the season tickets at the same time? The money is burning a hole in my pocket!!

i'll tell you "why us"....we have a fifa 4 star stadium, we have training facilities and an a acadamy that are second to none, we have history, we have fans with passion and before anyone says otherwise WE DO! even the stay away fans....they had thier reasons for doing such, its freedom of choice and thats how they chose to protest. Then you have the fans that stuck it through what was the most awfull time of my southampton supporting days. The past is exactly that so now is the time to rather than talk of our history...we make history. we pack out SMS, show our gratitude and support to Mr Liebherr and rise our club back to where we belong. COYR!!!!!!

Steve, I am totally with you! I want this club to become self sustainable. I want to have a well respected club... I would hate to be a Man City or Chelsea fan.... purchased success is pointless... he who spends the most wins the most... I would rather have a club with a bit of class. Look at Aston Villa, I would much rather have a supportive backer that invests cautiously and does not want thier club to become a huge joke. If Saints never make the prem it would not bother me, infact I would goes as far as to say what is the point of the prem these days? Spend, spend spend or just hang on if you are lucky.

totally agree, I admire the way QPR have gone about thier business, richest club yet no huge bank breaking signings, I always worry about clubs such as chelsea and city as to what happens when their rich backer gets fed up and decides to jack it in and reclaim all the loans they put into the club (they are just loans at chelsea)

I agree as well mate. I'm currentluy living and working in London and there are plenty of life long Chelsea fans hear who openly admit that they prefered it before they were Chelski.

They say that when they reached a cup final or had a good year in the league, it felt so much more deserved.

Plus, now most of the true fans can't even get tickets cause either they can't afford it or that all the fair weather fans (from miles away) keep snapping all the tickets up.

As for the QPR fans hear, they think that their club is being run a little too cautiously.

I'm proud to be a Saint whatever the weather!!

I guess it depends on how shallow you are. I support my local team and that team has had success in the past through hardwork and being well managed...... not by buying it! There is no pint in arguing about it, you are obviously happy to buy your way to the top, that is fine....... I want a sustainable club.... thats all, one that my kids will be proud to support.

Surely you're a skate (the clue being your lazy and transparent Pompey hating user name)? Can't think of any other reason you'd be coming up with this total tripe. Take your Man City expectations, divide by about 100 and get real. If he does turn out as someone who spends big in the right ways, great, but your ridiculous expectations are the sort that have caused a lot of bad blood and moaning at our club in recent times. The guy is saving our club. That is good enough for me.

Mark Wotte + budget = improvement and advancement. Give him a chance he deserves it.

It would however be interesting for someone to post a break down of pounds spent per win under each of our last era of coaches.... curious?

I'm sure Wotte will have saints flying like eagles and hawks soon...

At least this year I want the budget spent wisely on players and development not a fancy manager.

I understand where you are coming from, I like Wotte too but I don't believe he motivates the players as he should. He is so inexperienced in the English game. I watched countless games at the back end of last season and we really very poor and made so many stupid mistakes. I don't accept the argument around the boardroom unrest because football is football, 11 v 11. Wotte made some stupid substitutions and I can't stand the rediculous formations we stick out. 4-4-2 is all we need. I like your optimism Dan and my opinion may not be shared by others, but I'm a realist and look at the facts. New owners, great but we need fresh ideas and some more grit in the team if we are to suceed!

Correct me if I am wrong but wasnt one of the first actions of Wotte to revert back to 4 4 2?

Surely you're a skate (the clue being your lazy and transparent Pompey hating user name)? Can't think of any other reason you'd be coming up with this total tripe. Take your Man City expectations, divide by about 100 and get real. If he does turn out as someone who spends big in the right ways, great, but your ridiculous expectations are the sort that have caused a lot of bad blood and moaning at our club in recent times. The guy is saving our club. That is good enough for me.

"but your ridiculous expectations are the sort that have caused a lot of bad blood and moaning at our club in recent times." ... NO!!! The reason we are all arguing is because of d!ck heads like yourself who jump on innocent people who are just trying to have a bit of a laugh.

Why don't you get a life and leave the guy alone! Everyone is aloud an opinion!

Jesus, I am glad I am not friends with you!
