I like Selles as a person (hard not to when the previous incumbent was as unlikeable as it gets) but surely we are going to need some fresh impetus to bring us back next season. If Boro don't go up I would go all out for Carrick. He's the kind of guy that might just turn us round and surely the fans would get behind some kind of project.

Is he really worse than Gazzaniga? Probably is which is saying something...

Got to question what wonderboy Rasmus saw in him.

Bazunu doing his best to lose us that game. We won’t stay up with a keeper making those kinds of mistakes. Lucky boy. Still, big win.

Was appointed in pre-season when we decided to continue with Ralph but overhauled the coaching staff. Point is, he has (at least in part) been a mainstay of this god awful season. The idea that he can now step up and save us and that he’s a better bet than a manager like Marsch is a complete joke.

I can’t see past the fact Selles has been here all season and it’s been a disaster. If he’s that inspiring a leader then you’d have thought he’d have imposed his views so far - he is a senior part of the coaching team - and if he has already then he’s partly responsible for the clusterfuck we’ve endured so far this season. We were also absolutely awful in that game v Wednesday that he took charge of. Honestly, how we can, on the one hand, be negotiating ourselves out of a slightly longer contract with Marsch but, on the other, be content to proceed with Selles is absolutely beyond me. It’ll cost these SR amateurs far more than even having to pay off Marsch when we go down. It’s as if we are watching a masterclass in how not to run a football club right now.

Might as well pack up and go home here lads - Selles will be a disaster. The Spanish Steve Wigley.

Happy enough with Marsch - think people have short memories. He kept an absolutely awful Leeds side up and some of the performances this season were pretty good. Is he the best manager out there? No, but this appointment makes a lot more sense to me than Nathan Jones. If he's happy to stick with us in the Championship and build something (if the worst happens) then all the better.

Fuck off Nathan you tosser

Nah will be a draw which is the worst of all worlds.

Typical Janny B. Once a wanker always a wanker.

and with the Wolves loss goes another winnable home fixture. There are only so many games we can afford to throw away.

Unbelievable that he is still here, especially with Leeds sacking Marsch. I'd jump at the chance to appoint Marsch, which says it all about NJ really.

Get rid of this muppet tonight. Pub team manager.

He got a hand on it - a better keeper would save that.

This is truly pathetic. We have some awful players, don’t we?

Matt Cash hand ball on the line versus Villa - not given. We've had loads of dodgy ones.

I always felt a bit sorry for Redmond - he came in after our best ever PL finish, expectations were sky-high and then Koeman left, we brought in Puel (who, at the time, was a bit of an anti-climax compared to some managers we'd been linked with) and our first signing of the summer was Redmond who seemed, at the time, like a massive downgrade on the players we had the previous season and the players we thought we might have been able to attract after finishing 6th. All in all I would say he's been pretty great for us - was excellent at times under Puel (Liverpool semi, Watford away, League Cup final) and Ralph. That said, he's one of the most frustrating players I've watched as a Saints fan. Can't help but feel as though he never quite lived up to his potential and, at times, there was a lack of application when things weren't going well. Good luck to him though.

If Potter has his head screwed on he will steer well clear. Would only end in tears that.

Not signing an attacker would leave us a little light (especially if Adams picks up an injury). Hopefully Edozie can step up if he comes in but he sounds a little further behind the other City lads we have brought in. Difficult one for the club now - clearly thought they had Gakpo in the bag which we all agree would have been a superb signing - I don't think we will get Gakpo in the next window now, his stock is going to be too high post-WC so we need to look elsewhere and just depends whether we've got the time to move to the next option today.

Agree - just checked as well - that screenshot is not real.

If we can get Larios, Edozie, AMN and Gakpo in before the window shuts then its fair to say we have had an absolutely magnificent window. Come on Saints, get it done and we could be onto something special here.

Forest close to signing Aouar. Great signing - he's a really good player.

Almost as if playing the best players in a decent formation yields better results than dicking around. Question is whether Ralph can learn.

Does Ralph just pull names out of a hat when picking the attacking mids. Absolutely no reason to drop Aribo…
