Well, part of me thinks "well played Mark" another part of me thinks Saints have extended his contract, so he's getting paid and I doubt the offers he said he's had from elsewhere, pay as much as he's getting at Saints.

Remember folks, it's Saints, so it won't be straight forward.

I can't see a new contract being offered at the moment . Perhaps its a weekly arrangement, but thank god a few loyal people are staying.

Why have the club appointed qotte just two days before the possibility of extinction of the football club? Developments? Extensions of deadlines? Also wotte talks of the eastleigh game and the league one campaign which is Saturday?

COYR!!!

Yeh fair play to Wotte, he knows if we do get purchased then his job is unlikely to be there but he is showing committment, professionalism and loyalty. I hope he can be kept on in some capacity.
I can't believe how we are losing all these players all of a sudden, surely can't be good news for any potential buyer - you'd think they'd want to make decisions on who to sell...oh dear, is there a potential buyer?

I think it would be temporary until a new owner is found.

Without the two, Wotte and Svensson, then the players would not train well and then they will decide to leave St Mary's even still on contracts.

This would lead to Southampton F. C. to fold down.

He is now on a acting coaching role on a temproray contract agreed by Mr Fry and Wotte. It could last for a month or until takeover.

Still we wait and see.

Just hearing that we are not the only club to suffer possible takeover failure - SSN says Newcastle owner Ashly had problem trying to talk to other groups for a takeover but it is now a five-horse reace and on last furlong to finishing post. SSN says it is likely there will be a photo-finish!

Let's hope Saints will end on a happy note!

His woages would come from the sale of Surman to Wolves.

A depressing thought but if his contract is being extended on a weekly basis, his last job might be switching off the lights on Friday.

Good on him, he's got every right to feel unsettled right now. Bidders have been talking about appointing a new manager, his best players have been sold and it's not like he can do anything in the transfer window.

I thought he did alright last season considering the constraints he was under. Who knows, he could be a decent coach in a proper club setup?
