The very right reverend

I didn't want him at the start of the season, we were lucky to get promoted under him last season, that was the 3rd best squad in the championship and we made it incredibly hard for ourselves and that was down to him and his ego. Why do we employ such useless egotistical charlatans, this means to me or shows we've a problem at the club that runs far far deeper than this chancer. I'd take Ian Branfoot over this total and utter clown.

The man is so clearly out of his depth it's frankly embarrassing, he is Nathan Jones and Ian Branfoot rolled into one, that team has players who should be performing better than they are doing currently but the tactics of playing from the back defies intelligence, we have poor defenders even at the best of times but to set them up to fail is either cruel or not knowing the actual teams quality. This pound shop Pep figuratively is a dead man walking.

And that inbred Martin had the audacity to start off the season stating scar tissue, Jesus wept, where do we find such woke bellends.

Martin needs to go.

Finances will dictate we'll have a far far weaker team next year, he had one shot and if he blows it he should walk.

I can't wait to hear the clowns explanation for this, no way are we going up via the plays offs, no way, we're turgid, akin to Puel's reign.

Maybe we're seeing different things, his spatial awareness and positional play make him appear exceedingly arrogant or totally clueless, the number of times he makes a mistake and turns to point the finger at someone else, a charlatan.

With Bazunu, Stephens and Bednarek playing what chance do we have over the season? None at all. Terrible footballers.

Sack Martin, even with utter utter crap 2/3 players that squad shouldn't be where it is, Bree, Bednarek, Stephens, Bazunu aren't anywhere near good enough.

But Forster and Davis were good at some point, Bazunu has never been good nor will he ever, he is well out of his depth.

Gavin Bazunu will cost us any chance of promotion either automatically or via the play offs, he is absolutely dire, so bad in fact I can not think of a worse Southampton goalkeeper in my lifetime.

They don't have the skill or guile to get behind and cross from the line, its predictable, turgid and boring and simply put why are we so so shit?

Cheap gambles, no spirit, couldn't care less about the club, football has changed over the last 25 years and its changed for the worse.

Admit defeat, we've a terrible defence and a woeful cheap yes man manager.

If you mean Bazunu he's not going anywhere. He's first choice whether we like it or not... and who are the other options Swallow your pride, accept you're wrong and bring in Kasper Schmeichel for the interim.

If Gavin Bazunu is Russell Martin's hill to die on he'll be gone long before Christmas.

They bought well, have a different style (one I'd like to see) of powerful front foot attacking as opposed to crab like stat passing, lower quality? We're selling our best players and retaining our worst, Bazunu, Stephens, Bednarek etc.

Who in the club thinks Bednarek, Stephens and Bazunu are good enough even for this level is frankly far more worrying than the standard of players themselves. Truly awful players who make Danny Fox seem like Pele.

If anyone thinks Bednerek and Stephens are good enough even for this league they're solely mistaken, and the goalkeeper? What does the club see that the fans haven't seen for years, the centrebacks and goalkeepers have been our weakest link for 3 seasons, why hasn't this been addressed?

Russell Martin sounds like a crap hair care product found in £1 shops, like a rival to Alberto Balsam....

Its a terrible appointment, not because of who is who is (that is a side issue)(but I don't rate him and he is the cheap option) but its smacks of the board not learning from previous mistakes and doing the same thing again and again, arrogance, the previous model of appointments hasn't worked so would this one? He resume is worse than the previous managers, we need to change everything, we need hardnosed 30 year olds who'll fight to get us out of the league, the same goes for the manager.

We need a manager of experience and knowledge, Mowbray, Alladyce if Leeds go down and they don't want him, we need a nasty spiteful old dog not some yes man bean counter.

Jones is the manager equivalent of Ali Dia, we deserve to go down though, we give nothing the league.

This is years in the making of absolute arrogance by the club, cheap gamble buys and a reluctance to try to keep players who benefit the club has come home to roost, we don't deserve to be in this league as we want to do it continuously to please the shareholders and the fans come a distant second. Low aspiration club.

Hi There, lurker not a poster but could we have named a poorer side, why can't Hassenhutl just say we're going to gamble and pick a poor side as we need to stay in the Premier League and the FA Cup means little to us, that is modern football, and its getting further away from something that I loved.
