9 days and Welington is officially a Saints player.

If ABK can do a job as a strong defender that makes us hard to beat, I'm all for it. The blokes still only 23 so has a LOT of potential.

yet forums have already announced theyre shutting down, as they cannon risk the laws being applied as they appear on statute

what interesting timing for that to come out. Likely it means the agent is actually working. and There's something to the Saints story

Theres already the impending loss pf PL TV revenue THIS season by playing so badly, and not being selected for anything in the most recent announcements.

We cant re-invent the wheel. we need to oil it and make sure it turns.

I have to say appointing Hjulmand would very comparable to Stanimir Stoilov at Göztepe. both former players with international Management pedigree with nothing to prove, just experience. While no direct premiership experience managing Hojbjerg and Vestergaard, Schmeichal and lots of other Premier League players means he would have very good knowledge of the league. Could be an interesting appointment if it happens.

To state the obvious, as of this morning, we are 9 points from safety with 22 games to go. As we look to acquire a new manager, what can we accept for the new manager to achieve? 22 games is a long time in football. Can the fan base cope with us continually losing in the league and accept the new manager is for another championship rebuild while losing? If a new manager is looking at the club now thinking its a situation that will affect his stats, why would he come? What can you accept?

I think people are missing that saying "there are no plans" is a very open pseudo-political statement. It doesn't mean they won't.

With no wins in 5, I anticipate a replacement for Kantari sooner rather than later.

Valenciennes 4 draws in a row, three of which losing the lead after 90 minutes. Has a manager ever lost a job without losing a game in a season.... 🤔

Russel Martin's play has similarities with our opponents. Generally they pass towards our goal, and we pass towards our goal. Time for alternative ideas.

I do, as I said before, their experiences with Hassenhuttl / Jones / Selles, probably very much affected how Goztepe replaced Kokovic with Stoilov very early in the season last year.

Looking at this from a business perspective, Sport Republic will realise they don't have the flexibility of getting management decisions wrong, or going as long as they did with Hassenhüttl. Last season at Göztepe it took only 2 losses for them to bring in Stoilov to attain their promotion. A win at Bournemouth will be a stay of execution for Martin. This new borrowing from MSD can surely only be money for a pay off, or to buy a new manager out of a contract. International break is best time to change as a new manager will have time to work with the squad. Potter would be a sensible option as there's the Lallana links.

same as the previous MSD charge. except the original was a Debenture, and this is a supplemental debenture. So its an extension of the original loan. In my mind there's most prominent thing that you would need additional money for at this point of the season is to buy out contractual clauses. Whether that be a contract at this club or another would be anyone's guess. Having money available for eventualities, I suppose.

Lis, two games back. Two clean sheets...

Not a horrendous performance. Ugochuckwu has got to be a bit less ploddy. Lacked the movement into space, needs a bit more time to I bed in. The passes across the back line got too slow at points. Just inviting the opposition to close too much. Happy the oversize squads get game time again in the next round.

I agree with the OP. 102 points still available. We were beaten yesterday by a team with more inside knowledge about our defensive weaknesses than any other team in the league (thanks to Wilcox and Georgson).
