Southampton F.C.

Saints were on the brink of oblivion, left for dead by the evil Rupert Lowe, relegated to League One, stuck in administration and only days away from being wound up for good. Things were looking bleak until Markus Liebherr stepped up and saved the club. Within days he sacked Mark Wotte, signed club captain Kelvin Davies to a long term deal and appointed Alan Pardew as the next manager. Pardew managed to flog a bit of deadwood and sign a few of big names (for League One) in Dan Harding and Graeme Murty along with League One top scorer Ricky Lambert. Things were looking good despite the prospect of starting the season with -10 points. Saints could dream again. And ...  Read the complete review

O dear o dear when did it all go wrong, maybe it was because we have 3 different managers every season or every play we have which is good leaves, now we find ourselves second from bottom in the championship and from what i can see well be in League 2 next season. from being in the premiership for 25+ years and now within a couple of season being in risk of League 2 status someones got to stand up and take control by bringing in new players and getting a decent manager who knows what hes doing and wants to stay. Back in the early days we were a good contender for europe with the likes of matt le tissier who scored some incredible goals and defensive ...  Read the complete review

Southampton FC Est.: 1885 Division: Premiership Chairman: Rupert Lowe Manager: Gordon Strachan Club Captain: Jason Dodd The new season is underway and it’s time for an op on a team that I don’t so much as support, but if you’ve got to have a Premiership team then this would be mine. Being about an hour out of Southampton, it seemed almost inevitable that I’d go to a few games at Saints. Now I had the choice Saints or Chelsea being the nearest Premiership teams, however the cost of match day tickets swung it towards Saints, and now I am a member down there. Of course other reasons influenced the decision to go ...  Read the complete review

I am an oversea student studying inthe Univesity of Southampton. So, it's natural that I hope that the Saints will do well. Unlike Liverpool and Man U, which have a large supporters base even outside of UK, Saints aren't really the first choice for them. Given the budget and players that they have, it's very amazing that how can they survive when a lot of other teams of the similar size have come and gone (Conventry, Watford, Bradford , etc.) It also prove that you can't buy success with just judging how much money you throw in a club. Overall I still think that the club has do well out of their own expectation. Who knows, they ...  Read the complete review

Southhampton have had a very bad start to the season. Not only have they only scored one premiership goal so far, they have lost to former manager Glenn Hoddle's team Spurs, and Prize defender Dean Richards now seams to be making the same move as Hoddle. All in all things can only get get better for Southampton. They are still settling in to their new all seater modern stadium, which can often take a while, and they are still on the lookout for new players to strengthen the squad. manager Stuart Gray was a bit of a risk to put in control as manager, as he is unproven at the top level. However he did before hand know each player as he was coach ...  Read the complete review
