Sarnia Cherie

I was surprised he ever came back to competitive football after his first episode. He has a defib implant which clearly did it's job but maybe time to hang up the boots. I wish him well.

Lineker ought to be delighted that RM may be Leicester's next manager. 😀

It's a mystery to me why any club wants RM. Don't they look at his previous attempts at management? The definition of insanity is doing something over and over again and hoping for a different result.

Some good news, at last. A decent keeper who certainly played his part in helping us climb the league. All credit to Daniel for staying here with what has been going on. I hope this continues and we get more good news from the FA.

Dear God, Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse.

Can we change the record please? It wasn't funny before the ban. Give it a rest.

You have my imagination working overtime now. 😀

We haven't heard from the FA yet.

Exactly. Wouldn't you think with all that was at stake that they would have scrutinised those involved in the inquiry and appeal and insisted on a fair hearing with unbiased people. How come nobody at Southampton Football Club made an issue of this. It could have had a much different outcome. Yet another own goal scored by Dragan and Co and what a howler!

Just reinforces to me the zero respect they have for the fans who have consistently supported Southampton throughout the dreadful tenure of SR. Perhaps we need to stop spending our hard earned wages and measly pensions on this lot. Stop buying merchandise for a start. Up until last November the fans have endured the crap football dished up by equally crap managers, all appointed by SR, yet never has there been any real trouble or protests against those responsible. Time to make some changes.

Tuchel's words so must be how he feels. Whether his prediction comes good, only time will tell. I for one hope it does.

I agree. You could predict a good few of Southgate's squads before he announced them, irrespective of the season they had had. Tuchel said they may not be the best players but they make the best team. I like that.

1966. I am one of the old dodderers left who remember standing in a packed pub watching them win against the old adversary. Happy days. I keep hoping I will experience that again in my lifetime so come on Tuchel, time's running out, mate.

I must have missed the wonderful season he has had.

Any idea how long the FA will take? They need to do a thorough investigation but I hope it doesn't drag on (sorry!) for too long. Then we might actually get a proper statement from SR and step off the everlasting merry-go-round of 'what happens if'.

I hope the FA takes the decision on whether Eckert stays out of our hands. The supporters are divided and that's understandable. We had a run of dreadful managers, thanks to SR's expertise, so when Eckert arrived and things started to improve, it was like a lifebelt to a drowning man. We started to enjoy watching our team again, we started to look to the future, we started to hope. By rights we should be celebrating a return to the Premier League with £220m in the kitty and a fitting manager. Hasn't turned out quite like that and there is only one person to blame, Eckert. By his own admission he is responsible for the whole, sad and sorry mess. Some will put winning football matches front and centre and will want him to stay but is he really worth all the aggro that will come with that decision?

It was Emery who didn't get the memo. Beating City at Home, today of all days. 😀

Too little, too late.

Excellent analysis. Reuben Selles didn't get a mention. Another inept manager who spent more time choosing his roll neck jumper and suit for matchday than choosing his team. The silence from the owners is insulting and completely disrespectful to the supporters who have loyally stuck by Saints throughout SR's disastrous tenure. We surely deserve better than that.

It's a low bar, I'll give you that.

Fed up. A couple of weeks ago I had today all planned out. Now I keep looking at the clock and thinking what I would have been doing if all this hadn't happened. It's too hot for gardening so I will have to find something to do indoors and not put the TV on. I might stick a few Pictures of Eckert on the wall. Just need to find my darts.

Since when has SR handled anything well? Totally clueless from top to bottom.

Maybe he was fed up with what he was being told to do?

The report in my newspaper this morning makes for depressing reading. At the inquiry it came out that Eckert instigated spying on other teams when he became our manager. Despite him originally lying to the panel it was proved that he had used that information to find out formations, set pieces and the squad available. He put pressure on Salt to spy on teams and when he refused to go to Ipswich, another intern was sent. The report said that interns felt they had little choice but follow Eckert's orders. I hope the FA throw the book at him and SR boot him out of our club without a penny piece.

I think the FA will get involved now the EFL inquiry and appeal are over. Tonda's future may not be entirely in our hands.
