We are in for spuds left back Rose as he is unhappy at the Davies signing. Hope this is not true, would much prefer Rojo?

Also liverhampton are now sniffing around Clyne, after just selling Chambers if we sell Clyne then we are done!

Im not sure but it is seriously starting to look like KL wants out. We are selling everyone, spider and j rod could be gone by the end of today if you believe reports and if clyne was to go you would look in at the club and think we had just been relegated.

I actually don't think you would sell this many of your first team even if we had just been relegated. I have never seen anything like it in football!

What worries me is we don't seem to be fighting to keep the players! the signal I feel we are giving to all our players is simply if you say you want to leave we will let you go!

All the premier league clubs have cottoned on and are bidding for our players and they the spiral effect is going through the whole squad.

Enough all ready! the white flags are flying KL and Reed. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give us a chance!!

Totally agree Ben, I posted a similar view yesterday, the board are acting as if we have been relegated, and unfortunately that's where we're going, I can't see the funds being reinvested, I can see us playing youth and buying fringe players to fill the holes - a championship squad at best - for me the dream is over

Trouble is they want about 18 million for Rojo , don't think he's worth it.

At present Saints must be the most profitable arm of the Mali group, the return on investment has been outstanding, why would you sell?
We have been run incredible successfully since the takeover, why would that change?
The way I see it we are going through a transitional phase, necessary in order to progress over the next five years.
Financially we cannot compete with the clubs above us last season, only a stadium move/expansion could put us on equal ground.
With the reinvestment of surplus funds into such a project we can become a European power, but until then we are starting 3 goals down each season. We will never be able to be a stable European club until our finances are tripled.

Of course the sales could be a disaster but why expect one when we have been run so well over the past 5 years?

However should we be struggling next season I'll join the masses in a very vocal protest 😠

We need a protest and we need it now. Brighton friendly being opportune

I know things are really bad at the moment and people want the board out and KL to sell up etc. I think much more of the understandable frustration ( I think the Echo didn't help much ) may well be enough push RoKo over the edge. We have had very hard times before but the fantastic support got us through it when we nearly went out of business. We need that again more than ever, I have and always will support the Saints no matter what. We support a CLUB not a team, players come and go but the club is for life. We have the club in our blood that is why there are so many disillusioned people out there including me. Keep the faith we have no choice. Give the club until a week before the season starts we will bring in players but not just buy for the hell of it. Difficult season coming up that's why boycotting or sending your ticket back will backfire on all of us. Darkest days need our total backing regardless of what the situation is.

Danny Rose is absolute crap. Saints would be better off saving their pennies and signing no-one. Which they may well do, given that this summer seems all about making money.

It amazes me the comments fans put here. It's as if they think the board and the players spend their time trolling through all the forums and papers, looking for tittle tattle.
They are professional business people, trying to do their best in a very unfortunate situation.
Now is not the time for protests! What do you think that will achieve? I can tell you, NOTHING! apart from making yoursleves look like mugs.
Now is the time for patience, to believe have faith.
Southampton are a club with a great history. We have a the nucleus of a great squad, we have a magnificent academy, we have money to spend, we have a highly respected manager/coach. We are being linked to some incredible players. Let's see what happens before January before we start burning flags.

Sporting Lisbon are asking 20 million euros for Rojo, Saints have enquired at 15m way short, no chance at that rate
