[cite]Posted By: nolly[/cite]oohaah you must have been shocked by wolves crap support saturday,going for promotion as well
live on the box , not a new ground for many, same home crowds as us and they brought 2-3 times what we'd have brought to them in the same situation , not great but not bad either
no they didnt,i thought what they brought for a six pointer tale end of season,london wolves fans etc was truly shit,also much better supported home wise,well naturally
i cant see any info on the net to collaberate what talk sport said earlier.
no news must be good news for all them saints fans i really wouldnt like to see a club like that go into administration they didnt seem to risk it all like leeds.
I think it's widely accepted that southampton are in trouble - their revenue sank by £5m last year and that was after they sold Kenwyne Jones to Sunderland and Chris Baird to Fulham. The rumour is that they have accepted an early payment from Arsenal for the remainder of the transfer fee for Theo Walcott.
nope what they have done is re-negotiated the walcott deal,as they needed the money now.They couldn't wait for all the clauses to be reached which would have taken the deal to £12m I think they settled on £9m.I didn't hear them say they went into administration i reckon NLA was on the guiness again.Just shows though doesn't it after next year this could be us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We did that a few years ago with the Bowyer deal with Leeds, although we kept the sell on clause, but the git peed off Houllier and our percentage of £9 mill, got reduced to a percentage of a free transfer :-(
Southampton had a couple of years ago one hell of a youth team,Bale,Walcott with over youngsters Jones Surman and look what has happened they have nearly all gone and for very good money and still they are in the smelly stuff.

They even said Rupert Lowe is going back in to try to save them I didnt even Know Rupert the bear left
if so there are a few teams that have just had the pressure eased on them.
hopefully they were only 11 points behind us

Another club where the question is where has all the money gone.
Look at the amount of the decent players they have sold for decent money
Aren't there new rules for clubs going into admin late in the season to be deducted points the following season?
Yawn

Think it's still kicking about.
Here's what Southampton themselves are saying
