Not the Labour Party you dummies, but Southampton Football Club.
Just because its the cricket season doesn't mean the show can't keep running at St Mary Stadium in Southampton.
With Rupert Lowe back as Chairman it was likely that would be changes and that those changes would driven by balancing the books. Good.
The first change is the man given temporary charge to try and keep the Saints in the Championship, Nigel Pearson, has been relieved of his £1,000 a day job having done worse than George Burley in terms of points or goals per game (something that most people would have said would have been impossible). Fortunately other teams were even worse, and therefore Nigel leaves the Saints as hero for having achieved the impossible.
Which in fact is was he did - fewer points, stayed up. How about that for the impossible.
So who are the new team. Welcome virtual unknowns Jan Poortlivet Poortvliet (so well known I can't even spell his name, apparently) and Mark Wotte. OK - completely unknowns.
But I am really excited by this change. Mainly because it's a couple of months before the first competitive match and therefore a couple of months in which we can relish the thought of the new. We can fantasise about the the opening five nil win, the exhilarating wing play, the long run to Wembley, automatic promotion. Oh I can't wait.
I must find out more about our new team. Or should I just live in hope that this time it's another Strachan appointment. By that I mean something that all the fans opposed (including me) along the lines of "what's that muppet Lowe done now?" But then turned out right. Until Strachan left to spend more time with his family. Which was also Lowe's fault.
Don't ask me to explain Saints fans. They're bonkers. Apart from me, of course.
