News of the 34-year-old left-back's decision to stay on the south coast will end speculation linking the Iceland international with a move to Middlesbrough.

Executive chairman Peter Storrie told the club's official website: "Hermann's been looking at his options and he's decided he wants to stay.

  7. Hermann is a decent player to have around but when are­ they going to stop selling the crown jewels -­ presumably when the take-over is successfully­ completed? At which point, will they have the time to­ appoint a decent manager and buy a few quality players.­ If the takeover does not happen, the team starting next­ season will be no better than mediocre.
