Got to still give it a go of course. But where will our goals come from? Sneak some 1-0 wins and get to January to recruit?

It never made sense to me, he was happy at Luton and never technically 'applied' for the job, we relentlessly persued him and paid Luton £4M to release him which was big money to them at the time, he even implied he compromised from doing things his way at Saints so someone was meddling in the background I'm sure when appointed reason we wanted him so much was the stats again, best performing manager per £ spent on a low budget at Kenilworth Road Criticism should have been at those making the appointment (Rasmus)

Spors should just relocate us to Bundesliga 2 , he'd be happy as that's where he spends all his time anyway

When will we get to see this player?

I can see a result similar to this one, those were the days having a front four of Le Tissier, Rideout, Shearer and Rod Wallace , just look how much those away fans are enjoying themselves

Total spend per goal for those two? Truly outstanding business

He's smashing it, looks too good for that league at the moment, can watch him tonight in FA Cup

Always enjoy a visit to Loftus Road, our record there seems decent, won on our last three visits which gives some hope compared to our terrible record at Bristol City and Blackburn we could actually get something

They've only just read your email

Agree, get a manager in who knows the league and pay out for best possible loans we could get in January

Apologies, if you have any of those images of Helga, Michelle or Yvette please feel free to post to cheer us all up 👍🏻 I'm sure the writers of Allo Allo could put together a great sitcom of Sports Republic era, loads of comedy characters have been involved from Rasmus to Russ, young Will Still, Tall Paul, Death Metal Ivan Juric , list is endless

Beautiful. Next time my kids have to do a poetry competition at school I'll just get them to copy and paste that

And the ultimate professional, saw him in a few champions league games for Barca, top fella who would set an example to some of the younger players who have been led astray

Is this you? https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/24847513.southampton-fc-fans-pen-poem-russell-martin/

Could be worth a shot. Also Harwood-Bellis could invite him to the wedding and sit him next to his new father in law for a laugh

2025 version of that is deleting the Saints tickets app

https://talksport.com/football/3663823/southampton-sack-will-still-relegation-efl/ "Southampton's players and staff would welcome back Russell Martin as manager after the sacking of Will Still, talkSPORT understands" Who are these people? Flynn Downes and Lallana?

Having given it some time to reflect I do feel quite sorry for Still, I hope he gives an interview and gives full account of his time here as so many things just don't make sense, particularly the system that was different to what he'd used elsewhere. Were we the club where senior players had moaned to the owner about the manager? For some reason it never felt like his heart was in it. His wife has been through some terrible health scares so at least he's financially secure and spend time with her now without having to worry.

Yeah that gives impression they might be on their way as well?

Why have QPR appointed him?

Will be interesting to see what our support is like on Wednesday, only 1700 in upper tier, sold out straight away to season ticket holders with 10+ aways so in theory the most loyal fans but also the ones who have sat through the most demoralising performances. I've noticed a section of 50-100 empty seats at most aways that apparently are unused player comps, probably a good idea for them to stay away as I expect a lot of abuse to be directed towards their loved ones out on the pitch, perhaps Nathan Wood will sit up there himself if not in the squad

He clearly has.none of the attributes required to play that role, needs a Che Adams to do the physical work for him

Of all our terrible business I think Roeslev might be the most disappointing, he just offers nothing and is nowhere near the levels of James Bree, might as well have just kept him
