Watching that I felt sure that RM has been taken on City’s coaching staff….all looked so familiar.

We ought to send SR to the dark side of the moon, pigs that they are.

I would contend that in our case the line between those two is extremely blurred.

...bar one.

and replace with what? As far as I can see we are in a catch 22 situation of the worst kind. Yes we can get hopefully get rid of the dross but how are we going to replace with anything better? I can't see anybody of quality wanting to come here, so is it just more mediocrity to make the numbers up? I don't trust our system to find the quality in numbets that we are going to need, we don't just need one or two we need virtually a whole new team. Where are they going to come from and who is going to find them?

Thanks Russ.

I'm not totally convinced that we are going to attract the kind of players we are going to need nor have the skills in our club to identify those players. What I most fear is that we are just going to end up with more of the same. As I've said before we won the lottery last season but you don't very often do that twice.

Under ffp rules clubs are only allowed to spend so much on shirt name letters in a season.

I believe that’s called ‘hedging your bets’.

Compared to 2 other Saints cbs that's a definite plus...

I think once you let go the hope and just look for moments it makes life a lot easier. This was definitely a moment.

I didn't actually mean the COT, I meant SFC.

Unfortunately the patient appeared to die a while back…

I don’t know where we go from here tbh. As has been pointed out we have a bloated squad of, with very few exceptions, fairly mediocre players so I suppose the picture will become clearer after all the wheeling and dealing of this and the summer transfer window. You’d like to think we’d keep some of the players deemed to give it a go in the Championship next year and get rid of the most limited ones , but given SR’s history I can’t be optimistic. The other side of the coin is who we would be able to attract into the club. The last thing we want in my opinion is more of the same, just numbers for numbers’ sake….again given the owners recent history who knows? If nothing else should be interesting…

Most of the senior first team squad have proved they can’t handle the PL this season, so yes in my opinion they are blocking others from getting into the team. We have nothing to lose by giving others a chance.

This.

Could you repeat that in English please....😎

Or a pragmatist...

Yep we’ll be ok if we play Swansea every week.

If he does we're bound to beat our championship goals against record of 63. He is not a good goalkeeper. Full stop.

Umm, as always in a forum other opinions are available. And as for the crock of twats...

Didn’t realise you could foretell the future… The way we’re going that’s us next year.

I really don't know where we go from here. I'm not angry, I'm not pointing fingers, I just feel numb at where the club is at the moment. Perhaps the only way from here is up, but from where I'm sitting is difficult to see where that path starts.

Problem is we've got no one better.

How does he convince any team with ambition that he is the manager for them? One lottery win, abject failure at the top level and mediocrity complete his CV.
