Boufal hurt his toe? What an absolute wuss

I've been having a 'Troy Deeney back from injury with a bang against Saints' nightmare for a while now. Think we'll lose, and the fans will be on the players' backs pretty early

excellent post

We still need some decent coaches though.... And a centre back/captain And a defensive midfielder And a manager who keeps a settled side

ho hum. I suppose he has a good record. Hope he can fire up our re-promotion from the Championship a little further down the line...

The other scenario is that it was fed from the club (and reading it this is quite obvious) at a time when they had that intention. AKA it was true at the time. But things change, and perhaps the subjects have done due diligence on the club, or just watched us play. Or we have absolutely no cash and don't want to take the risk. Or we are in negotiations over being sold (please save us, Red Bull), thus stymying a reasonably important decision such as this. Thus, limbo.

Um. Seems a bit complicated and risky, no?

Totally agree. Or Vodka Red Bulls...

On the face of it Buvac would be a shrewd appointment, especially as he may have the capacity to take over from Ralph. Anyone see the Red Bull takeover rumour on Instagram? I think that would be good, potentially. Red Bull Saints. Can you imagine the outcry (not from me)

The Telegraph piece talked about the timeline, and has basically been the press department's mouthpiece before. Friendly journalist/cut and paste job Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes. Important to finally keep the same team. The pottering has been part of the problem. We need to build on the result, which in the final analysis was probably an unexpected point (albeit felt like a loss of two) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Apparently it’s a new benchmark for Saints today according to Ralph and the official site. Oh. Good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can’t see games out. Can’t keep clean sheets. Don’t score enough. Not looking good and can’t see investment in January if Gao looking to sell. Oh dear Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

very good

I guess Levy's gamble is that they desperately need Champions League to pay off the stadium etc and Mourinho is a better bet than Poch. Wages will still be a problem with their divas. To be fair to Jose, he normally does fairly well for two years

Quite funny listening to their fans whingeing. Deflection for a moment from our shambles Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Would presumably mean going back to nurturing talent a la Shaw et al generation so long-term view. Probably the right way forward and possibly recognition that this season is gone. Still, positive if it is him I reckon

Barcelona may be more appealing

Not an ex-Saint though I don't think

think he has bigger fish to fry

Please not Redknapp. Or Adkins.
