Breaking News....Officially in a relegation battle

Oh look. An anti-Pellegrino thread. That’s novel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
That’s them showing their nativity then. Why three? Where did that arbitrary number come from? Is that how many signings you’re supposed to have lined up if you sell a player for £75m? If they had done their research they would know the primary motivation for selling VVD was to improve squad harmony. That was also why we were keen to get him out early in the window, so we could stop the rot. It isn’t that the sale of VVD that necessitates signings coming in anyway. It’s only the belief that our league position is due in large part to our inferior squad combined with a £75m windfall that makes them look likely. If you don’t subscribe to that view and, instead, think the manager is responsible for our predicament, there’s no urgency to start spending the £75m anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did Les reject the bid for Carrillo? Did Les decide to turn down the club’s offer for Walcott because Everton offered better wages? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sometime last year there was an article in the Telegraph, a link to which was posted on here, which had a list of every Premier League club’s top earner and what they earnt. It claimed Fraser Forster was ours and he was on £90k a week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

But what is this Romes fella like at deciding not to take a fullback on and choosing instead to pass the ball backwards? If he can’t manage that, I can’t see how he would fit in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You lot have no idea what he’s doing or what it’s about but you’re all ready to wade in and moan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This. Our ‘fans’ are an embarrassment. Get behind the club ffs. If Les is behind Mope, we should back Mope. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Those who have followed Saints for a long time should be able to tell that our managers have got steadily worse since Pochettino. Changing managers has only made us worse each time it has occurred so why go through it again. It makes much more sense to stick with Mope given the positives associated with him. Changing him for a worse manager would only see us slide dangerously close to the relegation zone and doesn’t seem wise to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Would have got a result if it weren’t for the ref. Can’t always be managers fault. Plenty of positives today. Just needs time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Interesting, considering it was basically written by the club. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s also against club rules to do this so anybody publicly doing it can look forward to a ban. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The point is that the fan meltdown started at the end of last season when Puel was deemed not good enough. Our fan base couldn’t cope with 46points without publicly turning on the manager because we apparently expect to get better year on year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s times like these that just show how bad our support is tbh. A few years of good finishes in the Premier League made a lot of people entitled, complacent and forgetful of our true stature. Cue the odd initial dip in results and the atmosphere quickly became toxic, which has clearly contributed to our demise. People talk about the players not having the mental capacity for a relegation fight, but to be honest I really don’t see the fans having the capacity for it either. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Stats back that up. Lots of possession but passing conversion rate in final 3rd noticeably worse than elsewhere in pitch, meaning few chances created. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

McQueen is an attacking full back. It doesn’t sound as though you realise that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We would be struggling if it weren’t for Krueger. He is a class act in his field. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well done guys for boasting about how much money you stand to make from your team being relegated. True fans. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
