#saintsfc players have made a group decision to defer part of their wages until the end of June.

Saints board, manager, and coaches also doing the same.

Southampton owners will not furlough staff and have taken the responsibility for 100% wages for non-playing staff

Bravo !

Some people still don't get it. It is plain selfish if you take out your boat and get into trouble as someone is going to risk themselves to rescue you. The NHS are already risking their lives, don't add to their problems.

[Adam Blackmore @AdamBlackmore]

And it is also the right time to give credit to the #saintsfc board and chief exec for not panicking after the 9-0 and the defeat to Everton

They backed the manager, told him to get on with the job and gave him the confidence to re-set the team and put things right

https://t.co/rWmRkfdaW1. This is such an amazing thing being done for our firefighters in Oz. A great demonstration of the Marine Community coming together

@solentsport #Southamptonfc where do you start... saints can only blame themselves. We were the better team all over the pitch but no courage shown to win the game. Played like we were 3-0 up from the start and never showed any killer instinct. Embarrassing! 3 points thrown away

By the way, @IngsDanny only scores headers and volleys now. 🔥 #saintsfc

[Ben @pops_b23]

@solentsport terrible display by saints! No passion, no commitment, a point against the bottom side is just not good enough. 1 win from 10 suggests huge issues at the club!

[Ben @pops_b23]

@AdamBlackmore @premierleague I would put Kelvin in charge until the end of the season and then take the time to make a longer term appointment in the summer. Kelvin knows the club and the players and sure as hell can motivate them and has the passion and drive we need short term!! We’re not down yet!

[Ben @pops_b23]

@solentsport @SouthamptonFC. Much better today. First time this season the players have really wanted it. Great to see them playing with some pride! A couple of Top signings and we will be flying again! #wemarchon

[Ben @pops_b23]

@AdamBlackmore @solentsport @SouthamptonFC. Team should be ashamed tonight. No effort or commitment even when winning. Bertrand signalling to fans he was time wasting in the first half said everything about the lack of ambition!

[Ben @pops_b23]

@solentsport @SouthamptonFC. Things need to change. No chances made at all. No support to the forwards. Davis needs dropping so negative!!!

New #SaintsFC boss Mauricio Pellegrino gives an insight into his vision for the future:

[Ben @pops_b23]

@SouthamptonFC @chazaustin10 @Mgabbia23 Why take off a striker when we need a goal. Gabba and Charlie together would cause any team problems! Puel is clueless!!!

[Ben @pops_b23]

#SaintsFC very disappointed tonight. A real lack of passion and no direction from the manager again. Poor substitutions!!
#PUELOUT

[Ben @pops_b23]

@solentsport Puel has to go!
Terrible substitutions. No killer instinct with a game there to be won! Have faith in Gabbiadini!

#Whiteley YEW TREE DRIVE approved to stay open (subject to planning application to Fareham BC) Another FBC Planning consultation now follows

[Ben @pops_b23]

Big day for #whiteley today. The decision is due anytime now on whether the bus gate stays open or not... Only one answer... MUST STAY OPEN!

[Ben @pops_b23]

Good Luck @ADiffBeat tried to come to watch you guys but typically deployed just as coming down to you!
