A GROUP of Southampton supporters intend to campaign for the restoration of Graeme Souness as manager at The Dell.

The fans, who also want the club's board to resign, will hold a meeting in the city later this week after Souness walked out on Saturday and was later followed by director of football Lawrie McMenemy.

Clive Foley, spokesman for the Southampton Independent Supporters Association, said: "We have launched a campaign asking Graham Souness to stay.

"We are calling for the board to resign and for the manager to be reinstated."
