Sport Republic have broken Southampton. They gambled on potential, wasted millions on mediocrity, and lost sight of everything that made us who we are. Will Still isn’t the cause - he’s the consequence. Sport Republic have turned once a model club into a mess. #Saintsfc

Ross Stewart’s time at Southampton is DONE. The club has confirmed his departure as a free agent. Incredibly dissapointing news. Yes, Saints should have offered the deal earlier, but given his horrendous injury record, I would've liked to have seen some more loyalty. #Saintsfc

Jander is a better cash in option then Charles. He’s wanted in Germany this summer, wants to leave, and you’re guaranteed £20M . Keep Charles one more year, his price holds, even if we don’t get promoted. If we do go up, he probably becomes unsellable or become a £30m player.

🚨 Southampton Football Club has announced the permanent signing of goalkeeper Daniel Peretz from Bayern Munich on a four-year contract. The deal is believed to be around €7m. GREAT BUSINESS 😇 #Saintsfc

🚨💥 EXCL | Daniel Peretz to Southampton - DONE DEAL ✔️ Full agreements reached on a permanent transfer, including with FC Bayern. Transfer fee around €7.5-8m. #SaintsFC Only small details remain to be clarified. Announcement soon. One of the key reasons behind the move is Peretz’s excellent relationship with head coach Tonda Eckert. @SkySportDE 🇮🇱

THIS IS HUGE. Dragan said he would back Tonda and create a squad capable of being promoted next year. Arguably this is one of the biggest pieces of business that does just that. Peretz & Larin, would be MASSIVE. #Saintsfc

🚨 Understand Saints are in advanced talks to re-sign goalkeeper Daniel Peretz on a permanent deal. Pushing to get done quickly, Peretz keen to stay at St Mary’s and help the club get promoted despite interest elsewhere. #SaintsFC

NEW “I think we’ll see a lot of legal actions in the future”, Southampton owner Dragan Solak warns EFL, after club’s “ridiculous” Spygate punishment, claiming diving has more influence over matches than spying on rivals ⬇️ bbc.co.uk/sport/football/art… #saintsfc #southamptonfc

🚨 Southampton defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis is among several players understood to be weighing up their futures at the club — he is expected to be in demand this summer, with West Ham, Coventry & Hull admirers #saintsfc @talkSPORT

EXCLUSIVE Southampton FC’s Serbian owner Dragan Solak tells me he will not sack Tonda Eckert over Spygate, despite the "mistake" the head coach made when authorising an espionage campaign against rival Championship clubs ⬇️ #southamptonfc #spygate #saints bbc.co.uk/sport/football/art…

Congratulations to Saints and Portugal legend Jose Fonte, who has announced his retirement at the age of 42. 👏🇵🇹 Don’t think it can be overstated what an incredible career he’s had. Euros, Nations League and Ligue 1 winner, amongst more. #SaintsFC

Daniel Peretz speaks out for the first time about the scandal that rocked English football 🚨 "The sporting director updated us on how the hearing ended, which is where we received the news. It's frustrating, it's hard; we got there and it was taken away from us. We have no way to change it or influence it. There's no point in me getting bummed out or depressed, but rather to think about what's next. I don't have a bad word to say about the club: I love everyone, I had an amazing time. We went through a sort of trauma, so I need a few days to be with Noa and the family, to think things over with a clear head." @SaintsExtra

📧 Full email to #SaintsFC CEO Phil Parsons from the club’s Fan Advisory Board in light of Spygate: "In our view, communications have been poor throughout this process, with much of the information gained by fans coming from sources other than the club. "Since the CEO note, immediately after the failed appeal, there has been no communication, other than a brief notice about refunds, which made no further apology or recognition of the fan impact. "In all honesty, the silence is deafening. Being on the front foot is important for our fans. This is not just about apology and internal rectification, even if those aspects are critical. "It is also about fighting our corner in a manner that maximises unity. Statements on the website should be more frequent, as above; media appearances similarly in the form of live interviews. "We believe that the club should also organise an urgent Fans Forum within the next week, where key figures from the club (namely Dragan and you [Parsons]) address the fans in a live Q&A format. "It won't be easy, but past experience suggests this helps a lot e.g. that carried out by Rasmus [Ankersen], Henrik [Kraft] and Martin [Semmens] towards the end of the Nathan Jones era. "Whilst developments on the recent issues will inevitably take some time to resolve, given legal and disciplinary matters, a more immediate concern is that of season tickets. "Over 19,000 fans had season tickets last year. They have been badly let down by the club and recent events, and effectively, the results of every game they attended has become irrelevant. "Season ticket holders are the lifeblood of the club, and we need to help them to want to renew and rejoin the process of rebuilding. "We feel that a freeze on renewal prices is the minimum such gesture, though a reduction would recognise recent events more accurately. "We believe that some form of refund should happen for the Middlesbrough games, home and away. "We absolutely recognise that club costs have risen, and that we need the income to make us competitive on the field. "However, we also need people to renew, despite being utterly disaffected, and the balance has to err on the side of incentive, in our view. "Pending a Fans Forum, we suggest holding an emergency FAB meeting with the club to discuss the above matters in more depth, with a group of fans who have shown their commitment and loyalty over many years, and can be trusted to be constructive in our work. "The club have decided to recruit a new FAB over the summer, but now may not be the best time to go out for candidates. "The current FAB are happy to continue to work as normal until such time as the new Board is appointed." [via @dailyecho] dailyecho.co.uk/sport/261344…
