SUBSCRIBERS of the Daily Echo will have exclusive access to a new, lengthy interview we have undertaken with Saints owner Dragan Solak.

In an open and honest account of his tenure, Solak reaffirmed his commitment to Saints and laughed off rumours he is looking to sell up.

Sport Republic's lead investor examined the mistakes made during Southampton's latest relegation season and proposed how they will correct them.

Solak also pointed to positive changes in the club's leadership structure and vowed to improve the club on and off the pitch through business.

The Serbian issued positive verdicts on technical director Johannes Spors and new manager Will Still, who will lead Saints in the Championship.

We wanted to thank Solak for allowing us the opportunity to travel to Slovenia and interview him at length to provide answers to the club's fans.

Thanks also go to our subscribers and readers, who continue to support and make possible our coverage of the club.
