Does it go something like this?
Some players con Martin that they are PL standard.
Martin cons SR that he 's a PL standard manager.
Ankerson cons SR that he's a football genius.
SR cons Solak into parting with his cash.
SR then con the fans into parting with their cash back to Saints.
The fans keep blindly going to games, happy clapping, getting more and more frustrated but doing nothing about it. You often find this victim mentality with people who have been scammed.
It's just a theory of course

Fans wise you will find an explanation if you research Stockholm Syndrome. | |

Let's face it, short of a miracle, Saints are already down. If you have a season ticket or membership your money, along with Saints' Premier League status is already gone. (Even the banks reimburse victims of scams!).
If you're not happy, there are things that can be done:
1) just stop going to games (indefinitely) or buying any merchandise (especially pre-Christmas). FWIW, I stopped going a couple of years ago after the capitulation by RH in the second half of SR's first season of ownership, which was the writing on the wall for me ;
2) If you do go, protest before, during and after games;
3) Instead of singing the crass Pompey songs, rework them to be about Martin or SR.
If fans keep going to games, clapping and cheering then, quite frankly, nothing will change for the better. | | | |

Have faith in your own common sense. Remember SR have their own self interest at heart not Southampton football club and they've proved it with the signing of Martin and mediocre players. | | | |

The reason most of us don't boycott games is because we actually love going to games, meeting up with mates, having a beer and a laugh. Yes we are all desperate to see Saints do well, and sometimes during really bad times we do wonder if it's all worth the time and money, but most of us have been around long enough to know that in general the bad times eventually get better, and equally the good times don't last very long. That's one of the occupational hazards of following a team like Saints. If fans simply stopped going because the team was crap, or because they didn't like the manager, the club would have folded decades ago. Fortunately the vast majority aren't like that. |  | | |

There is no con trick going on, just abysmally low standards to be met. |  |
