What part did they get wrong? Seems to me they've done very well to nip the whole thing in the bud and move on very early rather than wasting time (and missing out on other targets) whilst waiting to see if he fancies staying or not.

Exactly.

No point on wasting time on players who can't commit after we have showed them good faith etc

Agree with this. If his motivation is money, there's no way we can compete with the 15k a week that has been suggested elsewhere. Move on, find someone else (there are plenty out there) and plan for next season.

True to a degree. There are rumours that he was offered 15k a WEEK! This is against the 5k we offered. There is no wonder it happens when this kind of money is being thrown at him. Do you know how much your top earners are on at the moment?

15k is a huge wage for league one. I don't know how much our top earners are on, but I was under the impression our best paid were on around 8-9k. Our chairman has said he aims for us to be self financing, but we don't know when we will achieve this. Obviously, with no debts, no mortgage, and reasonably large crowds saints should be able to afford to pay a bit more than other teams. I still can't believe we'd have offered 15k though. I'm sure Poyet will find a more than worthy replacement.

we embarrased ourselves when you came here

To be fair we tried, but Brighton beat us on the break. They got the tactics right, stopped us from getting too many attempts on target and countered fast against the lack of pace of Jaidi and Trotman. Saints weren't embarrassing, we were just beaten by good tactics and determination. Brighton were the better side on the day.

Saints are taking a risk. Supposing he doesn't recover fully from his injury? Now that would be funny. Would serve Saints and Calderon right.

Its thier gamble at the end of the day. He has a hip injury, nothing is certain.
