Wood actually played well today . We stayed in the game but a typical brave loss to keep Martin and the idiots content

He hasn’t been that bad. Nice play for the sssist vs Liverpool .. always lively and gets in good positions

Hopefully this Chelsea result can be a turning point now .. as I’ve said before it’s better to take a vicious beating in these circumstances if it means the board wake the fuck up .. rather that then keeping the blinkers on cos we did ok vs Liverpool if they have any common sense at all he’s gone today

Lol out of control how ? are you not meant to be a Southampton fan as it seems your more a fan of fat kats bank balance? When nc and Markus saved us it was purchased at around 13 million by time she sold to Gao it was 210 million so how you can say cortese was bad for the club is utter bollocks . it’s also a bit weird that you seem to be siding wit kat who just inherited the club, she just wanted io get control back and then offload like she did to Gao. I don’t see much respect for what her father wanted here. we didn’t have one bad season under Cortese.. he delivered one of our best periods since mcmenemy days so why the hate ?

Nail on head mate .. you still see people with liebherr avatars yet people don’t seem to appreciate cortese who even talked Markus into the purchase . Doesn’t really make sense to me how you can love liebherr and not nc .. they came as a package and the majority of the success came with how nc went about carrying out the plan making effective decisions .. sports republic are spending money so it goes to show how having the right person making these key decisions , spending the money wisely and employing the right people makes a huge difference and cortese did this superbly

Many ceos don’t go from club to club though .. he was Markus trusted man . as for us getting better most of the team and structure was strong and in place from his time here , Mitchell was a still a scout plus koeman did a cracking job also we where also flying under poch but never really got to see how well he would have done we looked very much a top 6-8 side under him also

I’m not buying some wannabe in the know rumours on this .. cortese wasn’t exactly throwing money around anyway .. a big core of our success revolves around the likes of lambert lalllana fonte and schneiderlin who we had from league one … if Markus was still alive nc would probably still be running things.. I dunno why people keep acting like I it’s a one off that nc was spending Marcus money .. Ankerson spends dragons money but isn’t any where near as effective .. The wheels came off when Markus died . Katarina was only ever interested in cashing in on her asset so ousted cortese as fast as possible to regain power before selling to gao also it’s hard to say it was propaganda from cortese .. with his managerial choices nearly all of them where gold and we improved with every switch of manager .. back to back promotions, great managers .. great scout in Mitchell. We where flying under pochettino who wass superb choice which nc decided on whilst going to scout coutinho.. as far as I’m concerned he did a fantastic job and pretty much flawless in his time here .. it’s just a shame we didn’t get to see the end of the movie how anyone can say he wasn’t good for the club is beyond me .. he came in when we was dying and on the brink of extinction in league one and got us up to top ten in the premiership with one of our best periods since the keegan days

Agree in general but cortese was the absolute ideal man to run the club .. i find it very very harsh that he gets labelled as just someone going mad with liebherrs money .. I mean look how the current freaks are doing spending dragons money ? Since cortese got ousted I don’t think we ever really recovered, yes you can point to the Koeman seasons but strong foundations where already in place including scouts like Mitchell.. cortese was so thorough and hands on and demanded quality throughout the whole structure . And didn’t just accept our role in the food chain .. unfortunately since we have gone from that standard to the likes of Kruger Wilson semmrns and the current bunch of idiots .: not hard to see where it started To wrong

Not because we put in a couple of reasonable performances . Because the board are ignoring the fact we are doing utterly shite and have only had three games we haven’t lost .. No other premiership club would accept this

Like I was saying in the pre Liverpool match thread the kinda results we have got last two games is not good for the bigger picture .. seems sports republic need us to get a proper spanking before they are gonna see the light of day .. so reasonable performances against Liverpool and Brighton just gives them something to cling onto with Martin. ridicolous situation really honestly think fans should start boycotting games to get the message across

Personally don’t think we ever looked like getting anything out of Liverpool even when leading in the second half.. we where playing dodgy suicuadal shit around the back line and struggling to get out of own half ..pretty sure Liverpool would have found ways to score no matter what with the way it was going

Absolutely.. Swansea fans views on him was absolutely laser accurate .. including being more interested in his own philosophy and possession stats then the results .. he won’t change he’s modelled and promoted himself in this way and unfortunately for us That’s what landed him this gig with our naive board .. martin is probably one of the most predictable managers ever does exactly what you would expect week in week out

I can’t believe even as stupid as sports republic are being that they will just sit there and go down without even a whimper or any fight whatsoever. What is the point in getting promoted in the first place .. if you are just gonna give up by November and think never mind let’s put our faith in the dogshit manager that is Losing 90 percent of games because he got us through the play offs last year so we can just get relegated and do it again ? this is absolutely bonkers

sports republic assessing the situation

All three of them

Trying to piss about with intricate passes at the back whilst under pressure from Liverpool over and over again .. it’s just crazy really it’s all risk with no reward .. not impressed with kwp lately he seems to have really half assed commitment in winning the ball . Many times he looks in a odds on position to win ball or a 50 50 and somehow the opposition always end up with it .. typical onuachu gets a injury .. he looks the real deal and really should be a easy choice as the main cf..his hold up play can help the likes of arma and dibling greatly it’s ludicrous he has been out of this side so much..russ didn’t even want him in the championship 😂

Why would he ? Board give him license to lose 10 out of 12 and he’s shagging Lucy pinder .. all good in the hood for him

Honestly from watching martins press conferences you wouldn’t think there’s any problems in the club at all .. talk about some false confidence ..he seems to ignore the fact we have lost 9 games .. acting like he can’t wait to get stuck into Liverpool and and our December fixture list 😂.. unfortunately his plan seems to still be as long as we are brave and stick to our principles we will be fine poor old Jones seemed to get it in the neck every interview whilst Martin looks totally happy and chilling

’m not so convinced he is staying at all costs though .. surely after 9 losses out of eleven games he must be at least on the cusp of going .. it’s hard To even make a argument in favour of him any more, the board won’t be completely blind to that or the staggeringly one sided polls the support is gonna soon be at jones levels if it isn’t already . id actually say there is a pretty fair chance they could be considering lallana, I mean they don’t seem to have to have any urgency or worry about no body wanting the job if Martin keeps racking up losses .But if they really rate Adam and are just gonna throw him a shot like they did with sellers it coincides with the lack of urgency that they have shown so far The lallana move always had more to it then just signing him as a player,he could easily be in the ear of the board all the time they would know if he wants he or not. if they are grooming him his as a successor there’s not so much need to panic with Martin.. that’s about the only theory I can make with any sense how Martin is still here actually

I think you know exactly where I was going with this you just decided to evade the debate by picking apart the made up scenarios .. let’s make it clearer. You want us to beat Liverpool right if you get your wish this will absolutely hundred buy Martin more time in charge maybe.not the exaggerated 3 months I said earlier but would probably lock him in for the whole of December at least .. he will now have two wins out of his last 3 games including a huge scalp in Liverpool .wankersion and his cronies will be feeling bullish and that his patience in him is starting to pay off this in turn is exactly what I mean by papering over cracks ..if you don’t think Martin getting a extended run is papering over the cracks then maybe you also think he has a shot of turning it around ? me on the other hand Sure I’d take a Liverpool beat down if that means getting to the root cause of our problems .. there Is a bigger picture here.. a Martin win just buys him more time and Stops the board doing what they need to do Also gotta factor in the more cut off and behind we get it’s gonna be getting harder and harder with every loss we rack up to attract a decent replacement .. it’s kinda key to any hope we have of surviving that the board move before it’s totally over we both wish well for saints but sometimes you have to hit bottom to heel I just cannot agree that anything delaying martins sacking is good for our season anymore

So you would rather paper over the obvious cracks then . if you had the choice of beating Liverpool buying martin another few months in charge .. then we go and lose the next five games which is probably likely with his form and our fixtures or option 2 we get raped 9-0 Martin gets sacked and we appoint a decent pragmatic manager like moyes before we are so far behind that any half decent manager won’t join as we a cert for relegation are you really opting for option one ?

I take no pleasure in saying this and absolutely despise Liverpool .. but I think the best result for us Is they absolutely annihilate us .. it’s for the greater good . We need them to destroy us so hard the idiot board finally realise what everyone can see .. if we Fluke a plucky draw or something they will probably Keep martin for another three months or something .. it’s simply not a good outcome .. so cmon Liverpool do us a favour and get him gone

The reason his tactics are so flawed is it’s better especially when you don’t have the best players in the league to break fast when the other team doesn’t have time to set up and organise the defence .. he does the opposite gives them all the time in the world to set up whilst we fanny around in our own half to make our possession stats look pretty .. then to top it off demands we play dangerously out from the back .. if the other team press well or we misplace a pass it results in a goal. the whole approach is mad for a team who buys the cheapest players in the league..even Brighton and Bournemouth now have huge record signings in comparison .. why the board seem absolutely blinded to all this is mad .. Martin achieved about par last season getting 4th with one of the best squads in the league now he doesn’t have that he loses every game and isn’t willing to change .. this is our whole situation. In a nutshell and the longer the board let this lunatic lose more games no decent manager is gonna want to take a certain relegation .. why can’t the board see this ?

Yeah brave Is his version of front footed and aggressiveness from Jones .. when you listen to his interviews it’s 95 percent bullshit waffle with no indication of what he’s gonna do to even try to rectify things .. in fact he just tries to paper it over whilst saying how he should stick to his principles .. at least Jones actually felt like he was trying to do different things under Martin it just seems a total lost cause
