Southampton Vs Leicester

[Weststander]

Yes. Its great when you lose, not quite as good as palace obviously, but pleasing none the less.

Southampton lose

 

[Weststander]

There's no argument we were utterly shit tonight. Fair enough injuries but the lack of application was poor.

That said we are missing by far our best attacker (RL), midfielder (Lallana) and defender (Fonte). With them back, maybe some signings and some confidence, we'll be the team we were.

But seriously guys, 7 pages. Dear me. Is our plight that important to you? Saints fans really couldnt care how you get on.

Not more signings? You already had a wage bill bigger than turnover, overspending, and still came second to the CHAMPIONES.

Surely if the actuary/undertaker is such a great manager & coach, he can make do with the expensively paid squad.

This is all factually incorrect. Our wage is around 75% of turnover I believe, you have a greater net spend over the last 3 years than us (5th in the league I believe) and we're ahead of you where it matters. We had 5 players out, I wasn't expecting a win, but that was shambolic. BY FAR the worst we've been all season.

So a team averaging 6-7,000 at home for two of those seasons has spent MORE than your team who spunked an absoute fortune the season after you got relegated to league one? That is the stupidest thing you have ever said on here.

Excuses, someone remind me how many players we had out for the game at the Amex?

I fully expect you to retract that statement...

I believe it was 9.

That's NET transfer spend though rather than gross and without just Oxlade-Chamberlain's receipts you'd be up that little table with us.

There's three threads about Newcastle, one about Villa and another about Spurs. You're scraping the barrel now.

The Newcastle threads and Villa threads are Albion related - relating to this weekends game and a previous Bton Villa encounter. There now appears to be four Saints threads, all of which nothing to do with Albion.

Interesting, is that just money spent whilst IN the Championship? If so does it include transfers out?

Didn't most of your spend on players come last season and the season before in League One so may not be included?

I've recorded Avatar on my Sky box (still having not seen it) and am not sure if I should watch it for fear that it is shit. Any recommendations? Didn't want to start a new thread, so I'll just ask in here.

You wait till next Monday when we play our rivals. You won't be able to move for Palace threads. By the way, are you going to that game too?

Have you got a wages drawing too?

Yes, but still behind you by a couple hundred thousand. AOC is the only player we've had go out, albeit for a massive sum.

If you read the title, it's for the last 3 years. Yes it includes transfers out. Off the top of my head we've spent:

Richardson £350k
Fonte £1.2million
Hooiveld £1.2million
Fox £1.7million
De Ridder £1million
Cork £750k
Hammond £300k
Lambert £1million
Barnard £1million
Guly £800k

Haven't added it up but between £8-9million.

Only for us

On the 2011 graph, the difference between turnover and wages is greater, although this hasn't been factored in as the chap that's done this doesn't have access to the cash flow.

I'd "wager" your wage bill is sky high compared to ours. Jaidi on 20k pw apparently

One of those 4 is about how one of your "fans" is telling Nugent to go and "Gary Speed" himself.

If you have wide screen and good sound then yes as its a visual spectacular but little else.
