Gloucester Saint

The issue for them is they need Saints re-established in the PL in order to make the margins large enough to be sustainable as a model. They won’t be able to buy the Fernandes and Lavias in the Champ.

Bring Fonte onto the coaching staff - Wussell would get some very direct feedback 😂 It says everything that I’d even prefer Gary ‘Mr Fish’ O’Neil to Russell Martin.

You filthy Trollope!

Seconded, that is football divorce if they did that. I don’t believe that they will from Alfie House’s tweets. Would be a slap in the face after the morale boost of Romeu’s return. Oriol would see through the bullshit charlatan in two seconds flat.

Bring Fonte onto the coaching staff as well to do his UEFA badges and really give both Staplewood and in Jose’s case, Parsons and the boardroom a massive fright.

I also Peter Reid coming in for a few games under Branfoot and people saying he was past it at 37. Proved class is permanent, running the game v Spurs for a three points which helped keep us up in May 1994.

For those less familiar with S Brizzle. She’s clearly not read the news - assuming she can actually read. Mind you, she wouldn’t have been too happy with the Ministerial visitor given the ‘outburst’ from her van https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8648wywe54o

Whilst JWP’s output was good during 22/23 in terms of goals and assists, the midfield was steamrollered regularly - most weeks if we are honest - without Romeu once he left.

Norwich I think it was. Scored another v Villa.

As others have posted, there are no downsides here. Oriol could easily have another 12-18 months in the tank at this level, although he might need to ease in with 20-25 minute cameos. Loves the club and will not tolerate a lot of the slacking off and leaving your job to others. The likes of Downes, THB, Manning and others had better get their attitudes in order because he will let them know in training if they don’t and in games. Not defending Still as he made lot of poor decisions but having this man at Staplewood and on match days reminding everyone what it means to play for this club, and having done so in the San Siro and at Wembley would have made his life a bit easier with the ‘we want Wussell’ cluster. Only slight risk is that it brings Jack back in as they know each other’s games but if it leads to some clean sheets and single goals conceded then I’m not fussy.

If the tax issues were resolvable I’d be fine with Gerrard as long as Michael Beale joined him. Carrick fine as well.

It would not surprise me in the slightest. Look out for that van when Saints are playing at Bristol Rovers over the next couple of seasons….

To think that in my first 11 years as a Saints fan, there were only two changes of manager up to Bally succeeding Ian Branfoot.

That would be setting your stool out 💩

More hair than Ruben but yes, generically young continental early career coach looking.

Dread to think what the burgers are made from.

After McCarthy was given an explicable new contract. Who knows tbh, just another weird sequence of illogical events and decision making by SR.

Good. That’s something at least.

No he didn’t, Baz did his Achilles in the warm up ironically v Preston.

They’ll lose 50% of the fanbase if they bring him back. Plus the players who probably want him back are the most unpopular with our supporters.

Yep ditto. That would be truly curtains. Bowing to the likes of THB, Manning, Downes and Bazunu. That’s not a club I could ever support.

If Russell Martin returns there will be 10-15k supporters at least taking a long-term break from the club and many never returning.

Same as the club rates Gavin Bazunu etc If the club hates someone’s, chances are they are the right appointment.

Typical Reform fodder

More chance of Tommy Tank
