If I was a saints fan I'd be livid at the board, not just for Koeman but for Pochettino and all the brilliant players theyve sold too. How do you ever expect to be a serious successful club when you let other clubs come and take all your prized assets without a fight? Just think where youse couldve been now had that not been the case and Koeman will just be the start of a summer where you lose yet another 3 or 4 key players, perhaps more.
How long can they keep this up as a sustainable model before they lose Premier League status? All of the above as well as the yo-yo status and lack of trophies etc is exactly why Southampton are NOT a bigger club the same way they aren't a bigger club than Chelsea for finishing above them. That delusion needs nipped in the bud. Your board is an embarrassment and they are good at covering it up and deflecting the blame. Sounds familiar, up until Moshiri came.
It's funny how we keep selling our best players (as everyone keeps saying) but, somehow we seem to finish higher up the league.
On top of that we have more money in the bank (thanks Liverpool).
I personally think we have as much ambition as all clubs but, have chosen a different way off doing it.
Saints are want to get there while trying to be self sufficient.
It may or may not work but, the way Everton are trying to do it may not work yet either.
WE MARCH ON!
