You have selected part of a discussion, out of context, and gone into a pointless rant. The discussion related to reports that the US investors are in disagreement with Parish over the choice of manager because they want Dyche and he doesn't. The reason for their choice being that he works on a shoestring budget and they want to rein in spending. There are separate reports that Dyche is unsure about the Palace job due to a proposed lack of transfer budget. I was careful to couch my comments in terms of if either or both of these reports were true. I have also pointed out that Parish had indicated that transfers were to be Sakho plus one, if Sam had stayed, which equated to around £40m; a decent sum in my view. If the US investors are now wishing to spend less than that, then there is legitimate cause for concern. Perhaps next time, you should check the whole story before you start hammering away at your keyboard. Edited by bexleydave (22 Jun 2017 6.32am) Bexleydave, this is by no means a criticism so please don't take it as such. I just don't have time to check facts so I am relying on you to inform me. How much of what you say is fact, and how much is your take on it? I mean is there any concrete evidence that the US investors are pulling up the financial drawbridge?

Those are good stats.didn't realise Puel stats were that good overall. But as I say worth an interview.8th place in the prem is not to shabby at all. I think De Boer would play more exciting expansive football. Which again begs the question why are Southampton going for Pellegrino? I get the feeling we're both going to end up with the wrong man just because someone there wants another Pochettino/Argentinian.

Again not trying to be controversial, but is the lack of transfer budget such a terrible tragedy anyway? I am not going to become all rose tinted glasses about it, or talk about 2010 etc., but we have a strong first 8 or 9, and a pretty capable back up 5 or 6. We should be able to compete and if we are forced to spend wisely to add to our depth (which is what undermined us last season) then 4 or 5 £8 to £10 million players and a couple of loan signings might be what is required. That isn't really a lack of funds. I'd go further south than that.

Ok. Thanks. I think you missed my point about it not being a criticism, I just don't have the time to read the last 100 pages to sift the wheat from the chaff. You seem like a sensible bloke who is capable of understanding the difference between conjecture and fact, which was why I directed my question at you. I wasn't referring to The management process, that seems about as opaque as it could be. Just the comments about transfer budgets and the Americans. Apologies if I offended you. No offence was intended.

I find it hard to believe we have anywhere near that much to spend. What we do have will be bolstered by who we sell, Parish from day one has said the Sakho deal is hard to deal because how much Liverpool want, implying perhaps it would be Sakho and thats it. Maybe a budget of around £25m is more what we're looking at - which would comfortably be one of the league's lowest. However, incoming managers will se we had a large squad revamp in January, thus my question is, where are these Billionaire American investors? Edited by SeagullHunter (22 Jun 2017 9.48am)

Raniere back in at 9/4 2nd favourite on odds checker. Did he not just take a job in France?

If that is the case doesn't it go against SP's intentions to appoint someone who is committed to helping us grow and not someone who sees us as a stepping stone to a better club. Surely if we take on someone because he didn't get the Southampton job then he's just as likely to be off again when a club with a higher standing gives him the come on

Incidentally there doesn't seem to be much chatter in the media (according to News Now) about Southampton's new manager which I find rather odd
