Expecting a physical game. Always tough.

I remember he said something like we are looking to bring in a very good striker over the next few weeks.Has anyone asked about what sort of striker we're after or how close we are?
Those two statements seemed to contradict each other. We were told the move to Sixfields would not impact on budgets as SISU would cover any losses so how, despite several unexpected windfalls last season, can the playing budget be cut by 40%? Without the points deduction we wouldn't have made the play offs last year so what chance do with have this year with a cut like that?
I appreciate it's not a straight link between expenditure and success but we seem to be setup to fail. Small budget, relying on players who haven't performed elsewhere or kids coming good. I'm find it hard to see this as anything but a long season of struggle, hope I'm wrong.
Very clear SP wants to be back at the Ricoh and now they are admitting it is impacting on signing players and on the amount of money available. Wonder if we will get any follow up comments from SISU on any of this?
Q: What boost does large away support give to the players?
A: Players truly appreciate it. Far easier to motivate players with large away support. Can feel the buzz/intensity. None of that at Sixfields. Midweek games at Northampton in front of 1,200 supporters was difficult. Very challenging year and the players application was terrific.
Think he means either due to the combined effect of Relegation + Move.
The player budget last year could have been £4M based on the turnover from last season In the RICOH.
This years Is set approaching £1.5M.
That can't be right. The suxfielders are always going on about how the atmosphere is much better without the Ricoh boo boys. Unless they're full of shit? No no, it can't be that. SP is clearly an ACL plant.
Now SP is talking total balls about Southampton, saying a successful season is why they are selling everyone I think he missed the point on that one.
Why do you make posts like this?
It's a fair point but Lallana, Lambert and Schneiderlin were tearing up L1 with Southampton 4/5 years ago now. I'm sure they've had many chances to cash in on them over the years.It's true though,if they'd had a shit season nobody would be after their players and manager.
Impossible for Southampton to keep their players once Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal etc interested in them.
At least they've got top dollar for them.

It's a terrible idiotic post, it is however very reminiscent off one of your posts, completely and deliberately misrepresenting what large numbers of people say and believe.

Are you saying that there is a good atmosphere inside suxfields?
That's my point, if it was £4m last year it should be £4m this year, if it isn't then the claim from SISU when we moved that there would be no financial impact due to the move as they could cover it is totally false.
That's before you even consider the 750K for Clarke, £3m for Wilson and whatever we made from the Arsenal cup game.
As is often the case with our club these days it doesn't seem to add up.

I think it's very representative of what people think.
Presley is in trouble from what I heard. Fans are revolting and he is in the middle.
If I was him I'd get on the phone to a certain failed scout / manager and get some tips on how to worship at the sisu temple and be popular. That guy achieved it despite being abject in everything he did.
A large number of people? I was talking about the suxfields crowd. That's only large compared to a Sunday pubs league crowd.
No it's rubbish why?
I think you misunderstand, he was misrepresenting what the sixfield attendees have said and think just like you misrepresent what both groups and individuals on the other side have said and think.
Probably not had the same calibre of teams after their players with the salaries on offer to them now though, nor anything like the amount of money offered for them now.
If they were to match the contracts offered to all those players now they could be left with huge liabilities, not forgetting that the same players were struggling to stay in the Premiership a couple of seasons ago.
Granted they weren't receiving the same sort of offers they are now but it's not as if these players have been sold after one successful season. These players have been doing it for past 4 years.
Where could we be if we had kept Wilson, Moussa, Bigirimana, Keogh for the next 4 years whilst adding to it.
No I don't misunderstand. I think he and his views are pretty much accepted by the vast majority on here. Namely those who go are weak, spineless scabs. I think he is very in line with the "cool crew" on this forum.
