The reason I disagree is because the media landscape has changed in the last ten years. If something looks bad, then the accused party just doubles down, and why not. People will shout stuff at us. So what. We'll have songs, memes, jokes at our expense. So what.
You say regardless of ability, record, success but in the next paragraph, partially contradict yourself ( in my opinion) by saying " for the sake of southampton ", but that's EXACTLY the reason I voted early on for him to stay. For the good of southampton. For the results on the pitch.
It pisses me off ( not you but the general media) how we're being fed to the dogs ( a little less now) but we've got Newcastled owners who literally butchered a journalist for telling a story. Man City owners who.....well we all know and God knows how many hedge fund managers that are part owners of clubs that have destroyed countless numbers of peoples lives with their greed and literal disregard for other human beings and the kleptomania of various oligarchs over the last 2 or 3 decades that have destroyed millions of lives which is conveniently forgotten about and Im meant to be worried about the reputation of southampton for some spying offenses ?
Its just fucking ridiculous.
Not having a dig at you, but a bit of perspective is needed.
