For years I have had the urge to invest/build one of these (to a pretty good spec). Has anyone else done this recently, or in the past? I know it costs a fair bit, but reckon I could build something that is future-proof for the next 5+ years, without getting ridiculous with the costs (which I know is subjective)

Ralph had run out of legs. The squad was completely different to now, and it was something that he kept, what had become of the squad, up in the premier league. Rusk - Caretaker and not a premier league (or championship) manager Selles - joke Still - no real record, or experience, to manage an ex-premier league side about to have a massive turn over of players. He will have a good career, just completely the wrong time for us Tonda - joke Juric - he can't come in with his style at that time and how the team were used to playing. Just can't. Had he joined pre-season and stayed true to himself with the board, maybe he would have done well at Saints. The main problem are clearly the owners/Dragan. They/he are fucking useless and have created an environment where the completely obvious wrong decisions are constantly made.

Listening to it now. Tonda never came out for his post-match presser until about 6pm, with everyone wondering why (had he been sacked was the chat) Basically saying Tonda came into football as an analyst, but has only stats to fallback on as he has absolutely no experience to use as a manager. He is doing his work experience at a club like saints which is remarkable. Jo saying he is showing his weakness as he just cannot manage a game. Fine when it works from the off, but now clubs have seen his team set up, Tonda clearly has no way to manage changes in-game, or start with something different. More leadership has to come from the pitch. The senior players should have grabbed the flow of the game when Stewart scored and do what needed to be done and get the ball up to him quickly. They do not see Tonda changing and he is happy with the squad (and academy), which may be a signal of incomings going forward. They believe his is just not a strong manager at all. Very much a club yes-man, but he will get himself sacked.

Proper championship managers, who have a good track record of getting the most out of the majority of players . it has to be next season. Not Tonda, Wilfred Nancy or some other dickhead with no experience of high level football/championship football

we are the poster-club of buy cheap, buy twice

And spend time studying xG stats

He is progressing. Rated 6.3 on FotMob yesterday Win/Win

Branfoot and Wotte days were very different. Branfoot, as someone said, we have a few players desperate to do well, but were led by completely the wrong person. And we had MLT. Wotte, we had no money and a bunch of kids. hiding to nothing

Then he is now in for a rough ride. Rightly so.

Sums it up. Desperate to appoint Tonda from the start. We all pre-scripted the narrative - keep quiet, puff pieces online, club legend in Romeu saying nice things, players telling us it was all very clear etc. It was blindingly obvious

Is he protesting...or happy with the 2nd half?

It will be Wilfred Nancy. Stats man, wedded to 3 at the back no matter what

hear me out.....Jack Stephens player manager?

Tonda, post match with Blackmore.... Blackmore politely put it to him a little, and Tonda was adamant we had the stats to back up the right approach in the first half, and it is "all in" on Wednesday....said that a couple of times I am very frustrated, the stats say the game was in one direction, the result is the other We need to get our head up and go again The good thing is that we play twice this week and we go all in on Weds If you look at the whole game today, there were 2 moments where we gave away easy goals The game was clearly going in one direction but we never got the result We had Ross on the pitch at the end, we needed to find him quicker We tried to create 1-v-1s, but we need to get the ball to him quicker We pressed very high in the 1st half, then switched in the 2nd half, but it is about winning games We had an xG of 1.7 in the first half. I know people talk about this when you dont win We had more than enough chances to win Time to start winning football games. Today, play 9 out of 10 we win it is what it is, we have a chance to do it on Weds I have all of the faith to turn it around and we go for Weds and see how it goes Lets play Weds, we will go strong and then we can talk about ifs, buts and maybes I live and breathe this football club and will do everything to continue

Right sided Centre Back (in a 3)...you knows it.

He said he would step aside/down if he was the problem.... Any danger, Dragan?

He will be working in Germany for the start of next season. Another absolutely shit appointment by SR.

I now believe we are in a relegation fight. The only thing that will save us is we have far better players (hideously coached) than the likes of Oxford, and we will have enough to be safe with a few games to spare

Lost 4 of the last 7 (league), and drew the other 3 ae are in real trouble. As we will get nothing in the next 2

He is a poor man’s Will Still

Defeat Wilder will embarrass our idiot

What he say?

They have defended pretty well and shithoused the game

Nope

horrible challenge by Matsuki
