We've had a lot more managers in our history than that shower of shit is my point xxxx

Are you 14 years old?

Yes. Reuben Selles beat Chelsea and everything.

Personally I truly believe that Tonda Eckert has the capabilities, belief and ability to take the job on full time and drive the super Saints to play off success and ultimately on to the Premier League. As a fan base we all need to get behind this guy 100%. All the fans have spoken to agree with me. Come on you Southampton #ad

Pretty sure Sweden are in the play offs anyway because of the Nations League. So he will manage them in those next Spring (and theoretically at the World Cup).

Pretty pointless smart arse answer. We could have appointed anyone the day after Still left and got results against QPR and Sheff Wednesday. Eckert is not the miracle man you're making him out to be. The point it is would have been sensible to appoint a new person with a 2 week lead in, rather then wait for Eckert to fail and appoint someone in the middle of a heavy Sat-Tues fixture run

Which was my exact issue with your post. To "contrary to popular opinion" claim that Nathan Jones had the appropriate experience to turn round Saints post-Ralph is misleading and precisely the cherry picking you're talking about. And it's not hindsight from a fans perspective because pretty much universally the fanbase agreed he didn't the day the news broke. There isn't any assessment that gives Tonda the experience, all he has from a small portion of the fanbase is a) the "no one can name anyone better than the incumbent" disease that is rife in our forum fanbase and the b) "he's going to prove everyone wrong because people said man couldnt land on the moon" traditional delusion. With the current mania to slag off and find fault with any other manager that isn't Tonda then I can believe that there are plenty in this forum who would right now reject the pre-Saints Koeman (he was terrible and sacked at Valencia, failure) and the pre-Saints Pochettinio (sacked at Espanyol, failure) versus Tonda who has never ever failed and never ever been sacked.

That floor will be a nightmare slip hazard once the Saturday night wanking off gets under way

You are stretching the truth a bit there. Nathan Jones did not have the experience to step into a decade-long established Premier League club. He had already shit the bed at Stoke City one league down. To "contrary to popular belief" him as being suitably experienced is fucking insane. Will Still had delivered one of the worst seasons in Lens recent history. He was borderline experienced but at 32 clearly a punt that he really was a boy wonder. "Contrary to popular belief" he was recruited for his potential not his wealth of experience. Martin and Juric yes fine appropriate for the division they were appointed to. The issue with inexperienced I think players is more about our Ralph Premier season. For last year's debacle we just bought not enough quality and this year Damion Downs is obviously the lightening rod, rightly. It's not experience per se, he's just terrible.

Honestly the argument for Tonda seems to be he's never failed or been sacked therefore he never will fail or be sacked.

Nice to see the GB News free-speech warriors crawling and fawning at the feet of the President.

I'm already shitting myself that he's going to get poached by Genoa

The narrative of a cohort of this forum defending the incumbent has existed with every manager we have had, i was expressing amazement that it is happening with a U21 coach who has been here 5 minutes. You're the one who decided that was aimed at you when it was a wider observation Stop getting in a tizz x

The idea that we are interviewing "any Tom Dick or Harry" is mental for a start, even for people with a low opinion of SR. So I don't agree with that. And "just keep going with Tonda until he starts failing" is not effective stewardship of this club or any club. It ignores the idea that we played terrible opposition and the team played thrn for a caretaker, they have never played for Tonda as "the man". So yeah, you're opinion but it feels insane to me.

There's absolutely no one around better than Tonda, who just so happens to be our manager right now. Got it x
