Southampton chairman Ralph Krueger regards their journey to the Premier League as "beautiful".
Krueger only joined the Saints board this season.
"There is something beautiful about the way Southampton has evolved through League One, the Championship and into the Premier League, now in the third year here, now fighting for Champions League," he told the Daily Mail.
"It's a wonderful natural evolution and I don't think this is a club which needs to be fearful of anything. And we're not."
