And as a reward you get to give us money for Jack Stephens, Will Smallbone, Gavin Bazunu and a few others. It's like having a guaranteed high possession Championship promotion bundle. We won't even ask for compensation.

You have to think that Dragan is getting increasingly less willing to throw more cash into the Rasmus money pit without getting anything back. If Dragan selling Saints results in Rasmus no longer making football decisions then it may be no bad thing. Though saying that I wouldn't put it past Sport Republic to fuck that up and make things worse as well.

SR need to choose a manager they can commit to for a period of time (or until Spurs poach them). Future planning is knowing who you're going to look at next but if the list is of the quality of the last 4 appointments we're going to struggle. Russell Martin, for all his faults, was the closest we've got to someone we might stick with. The downside was he simply wasn't ready for the Premier League and had zero intention of adapting or being pragmatic. Since SR came in, it's been a horror show of poor recruitment both at manager and player level. This summer we'll begin to get an idea whether Spors might be the answer to this though next year whatever we do will be somewhat flattered by the league we're playing in.

Oh look, five at the back. Stephens as captain. Stewart ready to tear up the Prem. Hoora-meh

I reckon that we'll be level on points with them by the 9th/10th August.

Potter Out

We've turned the corner this time for sure.

Ross Stewart hattrick to take us past Derby

No end product.

On the plus side, we've only got another 470 minutes of this left this season.

Need to bring on some more defenders and protect this 1-0.

We've lasted 10 minutes without conceding. Today could be the day we catch up with Derby.

By relegation six pointer do you mean it's another chance for team at risk of relegation getting 6 points from us?

It's ok... it was more a comment that I find it impossible to choose between BBD and Fraser and Cornet and Gronbaek for example.

Please change the poll so I can select multiple options.

After last night he's got to be thinking that the Real Madrid job is going to be available soon.

Opposing fans got to see expansive and stylish football, I think. Albeit against us.

This is the game where Rusk shows we should've stuck with him. His 1 PpG average dwarfs our other managers.

At least Spors is choosing this time rather than Ankersen. Of course, I reserve the right to change my mind on that position if he picks another lemon.

I lasted about 5 minutes before I had to choose between my laptop and continuing to watch. By that point he'd expressed shock at being sacked about 10 times I think.

because clearly the problem was us holding Russell Martin back....

I guess that when you have no chance of silverware then you might as well break some records.

Just maybe we should stop trying to man mark our opposition.

Two and a half weeks without the anxiety of watching Saints play themselves off the park was quite nice.

I've pre-typed "Jack Stephens is off!!!!!" just on the off chance
