Ivan’s dusting of his best Bob De Niro lines for our powder puffs - ‘are you talkin’ to me…’ 😀

Exactly. As far as I know several ‘targets’ turned Saints down this week including two championship managers and Moyes. Maybe we go back in the summer. Left with Hobson’s choice of juric or Kasper, and with that in mind I think 6 months of juric best medicine for this unfit squad with associated scar tissue. He may surprise a few people - in a good way for once.

Spot on! Finally a free hit for Clown Republic

Certainly not in the European sphere!

Unable to agree terms with Rohl / SW could be a blessing in disguise if we end up with Juric, a coach I’ve always liked but didn’t think SR would be talking to. Could be just what we need for remainder of this season but the players better get used to more intense training and less love ins. Will make us a lot harder to beat.

Ankersen is universally disliked but I would expect him to front it out from the directors box without the disguise. Needs to man up!

If Rusk can’t turn this around he needs sacking at half time!

Pep’s changed his tune. Fickle!

Still better than Puma!

No idea, just passing on a comment from solid SFC source. Doubt his AM geography will make any difference to outcome, it will happen of it won’t.

Hearing Rohl is in talks today and close. Think he’s going to be the hire chaps, but let’s see.

Fair enough, but personally I think he’d likely be the final nail in the coffin for the Sport Republic Southampton experiment. Pretty much the polar opposite of what the club currently needs to stabilise and improve.

To be fair it’s a quantum leap in terms of his league football experience. Biggest charge was a short spell as stopgap at Mainz and failed miserably.

My preference, as when Hassenhutl was dismissed, would be someone to stabilise the club, a person with some charisma, presence and energy who can make Saints competitive again, work in the here and now. It’s more a case of acceptance by this seemingly naive board rather than the long-suffering support, can sport republic move from their obsession with over thinking and trying to reinvent the wheel, and show some pragmatism? What we can’t have is another work experience appointment as manager to underwrite our work experience boardroom, don’t necessarily shy away from older more experienced heads looking for a new challenge. A Strachan ‘type’ appointment would probably suit us best right now, but no obvious candidates of this ilk spring to mind. There is some genuine talent in this squad, and with a couple of solid additions in the opening window aligning to the new man’s set up we might yet surprise a few people in terms of fight left in the old dog - manager, team and support.

Don’t worry, what passes for the forum intelligentsia will be sore this morning, even those keeping it under better control. A hatrick of failures called out early by the ‘knuckle draggers’ must wound the collective ego, even when there are only half a dozen of you in the monks’ chain.

Thank fuck for that. Onwards and upwards lads. COYR!

Think Spurs eased off to repay Russ’s generosity!

Ange will proclaim the fool the next big thing whilst banking the away win and plus five GD! Par for the course. Merry Shitmas.

Johnstones paint trophy!

Thanks for summary GS, but what’s he like playing out from the back?

Just what we need to raise the bar, another addition to the current shanty town serving up overpriced crap. At least we are consistent on and off the park.

To be fair a dream team with Rose on the ouija board could work.

I’d take Fred West over Lego.
