  1. I watched Charles a few times and thought he looked very nervy and unsure. Not quite as bad as Bazuna but I wouldn’t take a chance in him
  2. I think cos they didn’t have a totally shit team with shit attitude and shit football philosophy
  3. Hopefully not the keeper
  4. I think these guys think they can do anything they want and couldn’t give a shit about what they are told or coached to do. if they have been told by 3 different managers what to do and 3 different approaches I don’t see it. They are still playing ploddy football of Mr Martin. Get rid of the lot of them, they are a complete rabble
  5. Ultimate piss take and our lot wouldn’t even care
  6. Pickford looks injured. They will take him off and replace him with an outfield player
  7. Saints fans doing the Ole’s on the passing around the back
  8. Good to see the laundry bills are down no sweat no wash shirts
  9. They clearly had another great week training.
  10. Saints only aim is keep the ball to avoid more goals
  11. My reason for not wanting him is that he has a record of not being able to organise a defence. Friends at Chelsea said it was his downfall. We do need someone who is able to coach all aspects of a team or have people around them to work with who can. strachan went through a period where you could bet on a clean sheet and scoring a late goal because they were super fit
  12. I guess we will soon find out, but to me it feels like another example of football over complicating something very simple. Science and data has a part to play in supporting performance but not driving performance. The idea of getting a manager in and supplying players to them still feels alien to me. It depends I suppose upon the balance between buying a player that fits the sell on aims of the business, (sorry football club…nearly forgot) and trying to build something slightly cohesive that would build a football club with some sporting aims.
  13. The cub is a lunatic asylum and the lunatics are running it. Manager and coach taking little responsibility for set up and performance. Loony type of subs many times. Zero coaching effect on any part of the team…. Apart from 5hat make him the full time manager today. As for the other muppets of managers this season, hang your heads in shame and good luck to any future employers who employ you. As for the owners. You reap what you sow stop weeping and sort it or F off. i never want to see this short sideways and backwards football ever again you have killed any joy I’ve had over many years of watching my club. The loyalty shown by the fans this year goes way beyond what this shower deserves.
  14. If Solak is thinking of selling that half will help him make up his mind… shocking even by their shit standard
  15. I think we all know the long term strategy: buy cheap sell big buy young sell on potential buy in managers similar to player strategy Create PR that saints are innovative and leading development Do minimum to keep the club on even keel with aim of upward trend if it’s not broken… keep breaking it make football the byproduct of our great long term money generating strategy Tell the fans how great they are, overcharge them to watch shyte and keep bathing them in warm showers… .. there we go now we can concentrate on the first step of our journey hiring a manager that fits this story.. sorry strategy
  16. Looks like you have your hands full with MLG extracting any point he can and ignoring the essence of the message. Agree with your points above and see this as a key point that will drive the club I love down and down I think the owners don’t align with football as a sport.
  17. I’ve supported saints since the 60’s so I never have any high expectations of not selling or that owners expect a profit. My point is that Football is no longer the fundamental principle strategy point and selling is for Saints and has been for a while. Individual player value doesn’t mean the club is successful and this year is a good example of buying a team that is far from suited for the purpose of prem football. The board is trying to be far too clever and think they can outperform the market. I want to see football not as a byproduct.
  18. For the first time I am finding it’s difficult to get excited of who we will sign How do we build success if we continually sell any player that shows a glimpse of skill, talent application etc? It feels like rent a player as a fan. It does annoy me that they buy to sell continually and this is really the main driver for them making a purchase. Obviously the main driver is to make more and more money for the owners. I would rather they were committed to keeping a core of the best players to enable some team success whilst still achieving their financial targets. This Constant churn of many players can’t possibly lead to sustainable success as a club. Sooner or later all the fails will catch you.
  19. I find his recent statements concerning. His focus is on youth development and pathways is great, but to talk about this at a time where we have the worst first team and very little ability in the basics of professional football I find bizarre. He talks about selling our best players to the top 5/6 being the target and success for saints being able to hold onto these players rather than moving to the teams who we should be seen as our competitors. If he means Bournemouth and Brighton how does he think he will get us close to them. What does he think the steps are from this low point we are in… he makes no real mention of our ambitions of us a professional football team. Am I missing something. I know we’ve always been great for development and moving players on but is that the total strategy now and the football is a byproduct of this.
  20. Well we can learn from the past but can’t change it, and boy have we had some points to learn from. Shame we never took these. my concern is how much we can change our current ways and how long it will take to do it. if this goes as way back as we all recognise I see very little proof that things will change or are changing that will mean we will start to improve. It feels like they keep rolling the dice and getting it wrong. As mentioned we have to get some football basics back in place and stop trying to be the super leading club that will bring a something different. It wouldn’t surprise me if we hear AI brought into this soon. The sad thing is that even the feeling of hope for the club is going and harder to imagine anything different being seen from this current shit show.
  21. I think if the players were good enough they would make a difference regardless of the mgr. he might make a difference but shyte players who don’t give a shit and a clueless mgr on top is a disaster zone for the club
  22. Saints playing walking football
  23. What good decisions do we think they have made on and off the pitch since they arrived? Most 5hings even with good intent have turned out as a pile of shyte
