In that analogy turd should be replaced with diarrhoea. Way beyond even an attempted polish.

Semmens is a wanker he wears a wankers hat, he selected Rasmus Ankerson and a five foot thick Welsh twat… Subtle.

It’s a case of pedigree either way I suppose. If you have played at the highest level you get some leeway, fair enough, but only for so long. For a provincial club like Saints, our limited success since the inception of the Prem has principally been with the likes of Ball, Hoddle, Strachan, Pochettino and Koeman all of whom played at top level - maybe we give more leeway than other middling clubs. Our fans certainly seem more reasonable and patient than the likes of Villa, Everton, and Palace per se. It’s the same if you have exceptional skills as a coach, though much more difficult in terms of establishment. With Mourinho and Wenger their apprenticeships and proven successes in their home countries (Porto and Monaco) were remarkable, stellar in fact, before they were given their respective chances at Chelsea and Arsenal in the Premier League. Ankerson and Jones have neither skillset, and arguably are undeserving of the respect of fans until it’s gained. Some SFC fans would accept it, make excuses, and call for more time if the Testing Director of Anusol replaced Ankersen and the manager of Doncaster Rovers was installed in place of Jones. Others, a majority perhaps, know mediocrity and bullshit when they see it.

Hopefully a positive sign of the Board coming to senses.

Tadic vibes Egg, proper footballer.

Class act, really good player and just what we have needed for some time. Jones should be starstruck and the first team players as relieved as the fans.

Confirmed Orsic has signed.

I’ve heard that Orsic was desperate to play alongside Adam Armstrong and under Nathan Jones. We still have immense clout.

Hope his legs are too!

The idiotic money rumoured to have been put of by the Saints Board will set him up for life. Perhaps ten years at Luton. You can’t blame the bloke for taking the job, but that’s zero reason to put up with what is clearly an untenable hire. Hopefully he can take all his supporters on here out for a Nandos for his leaving party.

WR has more charisma and credibility.

Danny Ings and Wesley Hoedt.

It’s the fucking hope that kills you!

Fo real 👊

Been trying to recall where I’d seen and heard NJ and the Tyro Crew before. This is the pre-Palace presser:

The SR volte face in going after the likes of Orsic and Ings - quality, character and experience - may be in the hope that they can come in and coach Nathan Jones, along with Curly and Mo.

Cheers, early and on train 😴

I feel the same, it’s going to look like a fan who won a signed shirt competition after eating 1000 packets of pickled onion Monster Munch.

JUST SACK NAT…

Will likely be more of the same under Nat, this time 2-0 or 3-0 to Palace. A great shame to throw away a potentially winnable third round tie - under normal circumstances.

If Nathan Jones is persisted with this is likely to be the first of many damning media comments from local football figures and ex players who care about Southampton FC. It’s on the Board in terms of duration and intensity. I can’t see any feasible positive way forward with NJ remaining at the club.

No, but it's another thing that will get on our tits!

For all of the pseudo intellectual biz-talk I still can’t see how you’d settle on Nathan Jones, surely watching his teams and listening to post match interviews would be part of due process as well as the ‘numbers’. The current situation is like a wankers version of My Fair Lady, and I wish Ramus had trialled it at Fratton Park first.

Exactly. Bad data in bad data out.

I think he knew the game was up against Brighton to be honest. Presser after that was with a drowning man. Because of our idiotic Board who have painted themselves into a corner Nath is a very rich man when he gets binned whether that’s tomorrow or in May.
