ahead aware fantastic far guarantee happen kid might past planning six talent
I don't know what will happen tomorrow. I might not be here myself, who knows? I won't guarantee anything, but as far as I'm aware nothing has changed. We're planning ahead with Theo at the club. He's done very well for us and we want to keep him for as long as possible. He's a fantastic talent. When you've got a talent like that there is always going to be speculation but the kid handles it well - he's experienced it for the past six months.

Michal will hopefully start some light training this week but Saturday will probably be too early.

A fee was agreed when Rudi joined, but any long-term transfer has got to be right for both parties. I've already said to Mr Romanov that I'd like to keep Rudi, but it's early days yet.

He should be able to start training next week all going well which is good news as initially we thought it could have been a cracked rib because he was passing blood and was in a lot of pain. That's why the hospital kept him in overnight, but all going well he will now come into contention for the Celtic match.

I hope to be here for a long time. I've got a contract for two and a half years. We are building something.
public response
The response from the public has been fantastic.
class club coach football help looked people response smashing sports team work
It's a smashing club and the response I've got from people has been very positive. Clive is a world class coach in a different sport. He's looked at different sports but any football club is a team working together, not an individual. Being able to work with Clive can only help me and Southampton.
