Doubt there was. Nobody has any money, except the top 10-12 clubs in Europe. And they aren’t wanting to sign our dregs.
Still struggling though to comprehend Tanguy winning the Italian title.

Still struggling though to comprehend Tanguy winning the Italian title.
I kind of have the opposite opinion. The more Levy has to focus on other than football, the better. It forces him to delegate more control over football operations to someone else. Or he collapses under too many responsibilities, starts losing money, and Uncle Joe either has a word or starts seriously courting a buyer.
FWIW, I have no issues with the NFL, the go karts, commercial developments, etc. The club is, and always has been, run on a strict and consistent budget. As we produce more revenue, we spend more on the squad. We'd all like a more generous budget, sure, but we can't force Lewis/Levy to be less risk averse. So anything that can grow revenue is good, as it raises the level of spending.
I know some will want to argue with that point, but it's in black and white on the balance sheet. Our turnover:spending ratio has been extremely consistent for 20 years. More revenue is always a positive.
I hope you’re right but wasn’t it said that he micro managed the build of the stadium? I’d love him to step away from the football side
He's been used effectively. In the way we seem to be using Son at the moment. Let some one with legs run them into the ground, then bring the les fit player on at the end to hopefully finish them off.Doubt there was. Nobody has any money, except the top 10-12 clubs in Europe.

It's a bit strange how TND gets on as a sub every single game it seems. If he was shit, he wouldn't get any minutes.
Which coincided with the club's best stretch of seasons since the 60s....
You won’t have.
“Hello Daniel it’s the chairman of Southampton.
I hear you might sell Harry winks?? How much?
“£25million pounds my good sir”
I have no idea what that means and in relation to what
That, while Levy was micromanaging the stadium build, we had our best seasons in modern history? Pretty straightforward statement.I have no idea what that means and in relation to what

Oh right . I see what you mean , still didn’t win owt & he forgot about transfer windows for 507 days
That’s the tragic fair and balanced truth: we were impressively shit all over the pitch.
PEH can’t play more than once a week though so not captain material
I was so pissed off with Wednesday night that I have pretty well stayed away from the Forum. Just skipped through this thread. I actually have little enthusiasm for tomorrows match and will be no where near as pissed if we lose. More interested in Milan match although we could progress we have zero chance of winning the tournament. So we are left with the top 4 trophy to go for again which no longer excites me.
Why does it happen? Well Levy has not helped by not putting good bonuses in the contracts to encourage the Manager & players but lack of spending is nothing to do with failure to beat a Championship side.
The Manager is at fault for not playing a stronger team. That is Conte, although Stellini defends the team but blames attitude. It was his job to get that attitude right and he failed miserably. Final nail in their coffin and I no longer want them to be offered a new contract. Just do not bring back Poch. Get a new Manager who must be targeted to get a trophy as well as Top 4.
The players on the night were as bad as several other performances this season and some poor performances were from International players. It can only be down to the tactics but they seem to be able to win at Home but not away and the poorest performances are coming against teams that we should be beating like Sheff Utd, Leicester & Nottingham Forest.
So we have fucked up both domestic Competitions going out tamely to inferior teams.
The fans need to let the club know we went a trophy.

Fucking blaming ENIC...
Gooners hate Kronke,
Man Utd fans hate the Glazers...
Yet both have won (and are about to win more) under their current owners...
Levy and ENIC OWN/run the club...
The players PLAY for the club.
The squad ENIC have provided was MORE than capable of beating Sheff Utd... they're not a Championship squad...
At best, the 2nd XI are probably a mid table PL quality (apart from Sanchez who's 4th division!!) But still better than the opposition...
Problem was, the opposition WANTED it more, cos for SOME reason, our players are above all that FA Cup m'larkey!
Well, I as a fan am NOT above all that...
Call me old fashioned, call me naive, call me a romantic fool.... But I quite WANTED to WIN the FA Cup again, sometime before I toddle off this earth....
Shame the players don't feel the same way!
We'd better fucking win tomorrow, and again against Milan next week...
otherwise there really is no excuse for Wednesday's pathetic 'eyes on the bigger prize' non-display!
Fair enough mate, I accept my analogy was a bit clunky
