Enthusiasm Needed !!!
Saints fans need a shot of enthusiasm in the next couple of days to let them know that this season can be a successful one.
With just over a week to go normally internet message boards would be buzzing with enthusiasm for the upcoming season, but after three months of negative speculation and bad news its rather quiet in the Saints internet community when it comes to excitement for the new season.
To be blunt Saints fans need some good news, they need it to come in quantity, they need it to come in quality, but more importantly they need it to come fast.
Having been promised some exciting signings it is now time for action, Ralph Krueger has said some fine words we want to see them turned into action.
With rumours abounding of issues of the negotiating skills of Les Reed, Ralph felt the need to defend him publicly and did so on more than one occasion recently, but the fact is its results that count and this is a results business, with money having been burning a hole in our pocket for the best part of six weeks now we need to see some it spent well, especially in several key areas we have failed to strengthen so far.
The supporters are waiting to be excited they are waiting to be enthused and in the main they really want to back our new board, but so far there is little to show to the supporters that has flooated their boat so to speak.
However there is nothing wrong that a signing or two wont put right in double quick time, so come on Saints ldets get this season started.
