Killers Knee

I'll paint my Straight Jacket in Rainbow colours in honour of hiring diversity, and nothing is more diverse than Mad Nate.

IMO this appointment smacks that SR is resigned to us being relegated and does not have the funds to support us in reversing the situation. We will know by the end of January, regardless. We either invest in a proven striker, plead poverty (sell before buy) or pretend to sign one only for him to get away last minute.

Poch was the manager of Espanyol & had his debut match as coach vs Peps Barca. He had also played for Espanyol PSG and for his Nation, among others. He was experienced in great escapes and mid-table mediocrity by the time he made Saints selection.

Speculating with player arbitrage is a different game to gambling with your management. But sticking to the theme....I fixed your post

Is Mad Nate a proven manager at getting into European competitions? No Is Mad Nate a proven manager at mid-table mediocrity in the Premiership? No Is Mad Nate a proven manager at great escapes from the foot of the premiership? No Is Mad Nate a proven manager at running a Championship side on a tight budget? Yes

Did 'Mad Nate' do a post-match interview? Did he mention it was his last game, any speculation over the move? The upside to Mad Nate is. we'll not have an excuse. like "he's not ready for our system", as it's pretty much pub football, lump it to the big guy. We have the players to do it, no need for a transfer budget, the only question is can Mad Nate take the stress of the premiership? Hopefully, there is a padded room in Staplewood.

"Mad Nate" said it perfectly: https://twitter.com/i/status/1589595822400077826

"Mad Nate" said it best himself (at least he has a fitting Nickname):

He said it best himself:

Semmens has to go. Ralph carried the can for his failings.

Rasmus sees Goztepe as a bigger club than Saints

Amazing that Nathan 'Sturrock' Jones name was never mentioned when Man Utd had their managerial merry-go-round. I'm sure we know best.

Well, at least our championship-level manager will be perfect for our championship-level strikers. Next season he'll have a championship-level team to play with.

Because this guy is about 75% cheaper than those you mentioned.

At a time when we needed another Koeman-like appointment, where the manager can draw on his charisma and network to attract quality players, we go for the Sturrock-like option of a "Yes man" who will attract nothing but people waiting for him to fail. To say I'm underwhelmed is an understatement. TikTok.

Che Adams: Pro's: He has the physical strength of John Steinbeck's Lenny, from "Of Mice and Men" Con's: He has the mental weakness of John Steinbeck's Lenny, from "Of Mice and Men"

Ralf's issue was that the pressing 4-2-2-2 system, although exciting and attacking, didn't work because we didn't have the right players for it, when we had the ability to buy new players, he'd long forgotten we used to play exciting attacking football and bought players for a turgid rubbish style of play. The only current premiership manager to have served longer than Ralf: Jurgen Klopp

DM for competition in a weak area and a striker:

Nobody is perfect and for all his failings, at least he's not some lefty. Having a son who is in such need of having Andrew Tate as a role model is probably hard going for the fella.

That’s Mo like it!!!

Can we get someone else to take the corners please. Whatever it is they think they are doing, it doesn’t work.

JWP adds nothing

Looks like AArmstrong will be picking up the ball from our own penalty area again and running up the field to supply Adams and his concrete boots for a Miss-kick at any given opportunity

Maybe if Stu didn’t lose possession so often Ely would be redundant
