A great leader |
Christian Damiano has great experience with both Fulham and Liverpool so he knows the English game, |
Dennis has not behaved well and the fact he has taken it with bad grace shows we made the right decision. It smacks of sour grapes. He said he would be happy to continue playing as long as the new manager wanted him; so in no way was he misled. He said he was assured the job was his, but that is simply not true. |
Harry really wanted him. He thinks he is a strong character who will add to the dressing room (and) we are delighted to make him our third signing since Harry came here, |
Harry said that it was now impossible for him to come back to the club and that, in his words, he had been let down. |
I am sorry that Harry's stay at St. Mary's has ended this way. This situation is not of my or Southampton football club's making. |
I believe that we now have a management team that will deliver stability, results and exciting football. |
I believe that we now have a management team that will deliver stability, results and exciting football. The number and quality of candidates that Clive and I have seen over the last two weeks have been outstanding, with George emerging as our first choice. |
I did not offer to stand down because of Clive Woodward's involvement and there is no suggestion of that happening despite this report. I don't know where this has come from. |
I'm always sincere even when I'm lying. |
If we can get the deal right we will proceed but we cannot afford to take on too many players who have problems at the medical. |
In George and Clive we have got a management team of undoubted quality with strengths in complementary areas, who share the same vision and give us the best chance of returning to the Premier League in the shortest possible time. |

It is not often that I am lost for words but I was then. Not only because this is the most extraordinary story in an extraordinary industry, but because I believed Harry to be here for the long term. |
It's not a take-over by Clive Woodward as some people have suggested, |
