Almost taking the piss

Poor that it eats into the away allocation. Will only detract from the atmosphere (unless some of the families go on the beer before the match). Wonder how many tartan blanket (even in May), thermos flask types will be there. Along with the assorted vlog makers. It’ll just be left to the rest of us to double our efforts in getting something going.

Agree. Wondered if he'd end up at Ipswich if we don't go up.

Where does that come from ? (Must admit there looked a suspicious square chunk taken out on first looking)

Where was this seen, out of interest ? If it's Crooks or Nixon then pinch of salt perhaps required.

My answer on a postcard: A successful one

A better manager than his reputation based largely on his time at Man Utd suggests. It was a shame he rejected Rupert’s offer at the time. The downside of this is that the new bloke will probably want to give Downes a once over, and the player will want the chance with a new manager. Inevitable though. Doubt that Moyes would fit the Rasmus criterion should there be a vacancy here.

Are Saints still regarded as top on the SR pyramid?

As said in an earlier post, the decision on a DoF may hinge on which division we’re in next season. Clearly more attractive as a Premiership club. Unfortunately though there could be the inevitable waiting on our choice working his notice so as not to be available until after the summer window.

What part of the post do you consider insane ? Since when have middle management (in want of another term) been engaged in selecting people above them ? This is not a dig at RM, any manager might find himself in the same boat. Fact is though, he’s been here a season, so it’s not as if he’s a MacMenemy, Wenger or Klopp who’s been at the club a decade, or best part of, and is part of the furniture that the operation revolves around. ( The tendency is for this to be less the case now than it used to). They might be foolish to take this approach but don’t see why they wouldn’t . SR recruitment has some form for falling into the foolish bracket after all ( Nathan Jones prime example).

That’s the scary possibility!!!

Not really anything to be gleaned from this. Bit unfair asking RM the question. The other explanation is simply that the owners haven’t shared their decision with him yet. RM is the manager, an employee, no reason for Rasmus & Co to involve him in the process, they’ll probably just tell him what’s decided, when they feel appropriate. Plus any decision might be dependent on which division we’re in next season.

We were in the same boat as you, and have had the Saints Plus Memberships for a few seasons. Decided in December to go the whole hog, and get half season tickets. This has been fine for away games, but have only used it three or four times for home games, so certainly not cost effective ( have tried to sell in ticket exchange a couple of times but not seen anything from it !). Might consider a ST if we stay in the Championship.

Good to see accuracy on the BBC website this afternoon (at about 4pm). Proof reading a thing of the past

Pleased to see Birmingham go down. Fully deserved after sacking a manager after a good start and appointing Rooney. Also, for those of us with long memories Birm v Norwich on the last day of the season is a miserable fixture. Unlike 1974 when they beat Norwich they go down this time. Fucking hell, that was 50 years ago. (So at least that scar tissue has healed).
