Gloucester Saint

I did that once when Saints were playing at Spurs on Sky. Score was 0-1 when I boiled the kettle and made several drinks. By the time I’d made and brought the round of drinks in (I’d heard friends and family moaning) it was 4-1 to Spurs. From another grim era under Ian Branfoot.

It was probably in the contract but further evidence of Rasmus and Wilcox’s inexperience to have that instead of a significant bonus. It was hardly Neil Warnock and his record of promotions.

Politics goes in the Lounge. HTH. I don’t give a shit if he ignored Sunak, Starmer, Davey, Farage, whoever. He didn’t want to be part of a political photo op during a game. Martin was a terrible football manager at PL level but you’d have to support a political party like a football club yourself to be bothered by that.

Trousers will be crusty as anything with the excitement of reading LD’s post ☝️

No major leagues experience. No thanks Rasmus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasper_Hjulmand Would be very underwhelming compared to Rohl, Cooper, Moyes etc. Let him get experience at Plymouth, Preston or Stoke first. If he gets them into the play offs then maybe in the future.

Fucking hope so. Rasmus and Kraft need dissolvIng out of SR, we can do similar to Wolves and their relationship to Mendes for recruitment. Or go balls out for Dan Ashworth to run SR. Better than more top 6 politics, he enjoyed it at Brighton and could an interesting project to re-wire Saints. Dragan does need another major investor or two to really do a multi club model justice but don’t mind him per se, the two Danish jokers are another story. Rasmus has been totally exposed. I’ve felt for a little while he was on the way out (or maybe just me hoping, as his sort never get their comeuppance at work).

A much better balanced post. Did not enjoy his style of football at all, same as Branfoot, but didn’t dislike either of them as people because that’s just irrational. Probably is a decent bloke if you met him, and there’s far bigger issue behind the alarming slump of our football club. Rasmus is a different story, now he is arrogant and with very little justification. We’ve all got wide boys like him in our workplaces and companies, say the right things in meetings but that’s all they ever do. No idea of how to operationise and when they do it’s a clusterfuck. Don’t hate him per se but hate professionally what he represents. At least Martin has managed three clubs, played in the PL, internationally. Rasmus just made Phil Giles some spreadsheets and cups of tea. Dreading who he will select next.

Oi, leave our local EFL side alone! 😉

Something I would more than accept is a manager who tells Rasmus to keep his nose out and insists on the final and 100% say on all recruitment of players. A new DoF as well, Bitcon is a Rasmus lackey and a plastic Xmas tree pretending to be a Norwegian spruce. We might actually end up with a better player transfer success rate of 1 in 10 and be able to fit the first team squad into a single dressing room, which would be a novelty under SR.

Milking the tourists whilst they can.

Not our issue thankfully. If he could knock the aimless passing around at the back on the head, I could see him being a good Academy Director at the one of the ECL clubs, as long as other more specialist coaches are setting down basic organisation and shape. If not, then lower Champ/League one and bigger League two outfits are probably his future if he wants to carry on trying first team management roles. Not sure he’s suited to them though.

Good at pacifying babies though. Which is ideal for this squad.

Allegedly fell out with Ralph as well.

Had a busy night with the OS statement.

Midlands isn’t that far to relocate from 😉

Very likely. Trouble is, THB went out in the press after Chelsea, defended him and then Martin pushed him under the 🚌 after Villa, makinh a mistake trying to do what Martin demands. Martin got what he deserved, far more with his pay off. Some sympathy with his staff, hopefully they’ll build careers away from him now.

Corberan is good but we’d be bad move for him and his stock would remain high taking WBA top 6 again. Other two I agree although respect Robins for what he did at Coventry.

Players knew he was going by the looks.

Forest despite the 21 players they signed were way more competitive first season up. Understand some reservations after the Leicester experience but he’s damaged with a point to prove and an arrogant, we always know best Southampton Football Club have just had their nose firmly rubbed in their own mess with fans pouring out of stadium 25 minutes in being broadcast all over the world. It could work. Both parties humbled with a lot to prove. But Rohl’s football is what I like. Not sure I’d leave Weds right now if I were him. We will see.

Turkish - your laughing emojis record is in peril here.

Not a properly qualified one.

Another one of SR’s lemons. Clear it out.

Could do a lot worse than him. Rohl even better but those two would be a huge improvement on Martin.

Once saw one of his shots clear both tiers of the Milton once in a reserve match at the Dell.
