Madness of true. Hoping it’s the classic Alex Crook headline, which is usually bollocks. Anyone heard anymore about Danny Ings and Ryan Bertrand’s new contracts?
-
Yeah I don’t believe they’d be the type to be like “this’ll be a laugh lads”. Who’s the cheapest manager we can find?
-
I don’t think there’s much wrong with what DT said, weirdly. I think the overriding concern is that SR have appointed many managers over the years. There is a clear disconnect between the recruitment and the coaching/managerial staff. Take buying Sulemana and Onuachu and then sacking the manager a few weeks later. It’s not the first time and it won’t be the last. SR probably think they’re making the right decisions, however their record is awful. It doesn’t fill you with confidence.
-
It is a good example of promotion from within. BUT, it only works when the foundations are already built. We aren’t at that stage. The multiclub model which SR are doing is bollocks. They branched out way too fast. Whatever happened to build your focal club up then branch out after that.
-
To be honest that is a good example. I thought Brentford would plummet this season after losing Toney, Mbuemo and Wissa. However, they have been excellent under him. So far I’ve been completely wrong. They were my banker for relegation.
-
Not sure if anyone heard this:
-
Can anyone explain to him the pissing basics of football. You literally have to have one more shot go in the net to win. Every other stat is completely irrelevant. That’s why I used to think “f*** off Russ” when he brought up dominating the game with 75% possession, it means jack shit if you do nothing with it.
-
A guess 😂 Manning has predominantly been around the west side of the country. Rodgers won’t lower himself to the Championship for anyone, I reckon he’ll go to a Prem team depending which one pulls the trigger first. Norwich like their “edgy” scandi links. Gary O’Neill and Boro just seems right, because he certainly isn’t good enough for a Premier League team. Sport Republic, need I say more?
-
Gary O’Neill to Middlesbrough. Brendan Rodgers to Fulham/Leeds. Jon-Dahl Tomasson to Norwich. Liam Manning to Swansea (eventually). Tonda Eckhart confirmed at Southampton.
-
Sport Republic just confirmed five candidates that fans can vote for on the official site to be the new first team manager. Incredible! Jokes But the fact I’m sure a few of you momentarily believed that SR would do something like this and it not surprise you kinda says it all. 😁😂

Rasmus: Vol II “If you thought everything was worth breaking it when it was fine; consider absolutely annotating, pissing it up the wall, and burying every piece of good stuff that had happened in previous years. It’s Rasmus time baby”
-
Fulham want rid of him and he wants to go, yet no one wants to make the move to do so because it would require a large payout 😅 Fascinated by these interviews that have been happening, intrigued to know whose interview went well. Gonna be awkward if it was Russell Martin though. 👀🤣
-
I’m calling bullshit on the photoshoot of its manager related. There’s no way anything like that wouldn’t leak, then again if it’s Tonda Eckhart who would know the difference. 😂
-
I doubt Will still interviewed. He’s been back in Belgium with family pretty since his sacking. Pinch of salt that.
-
On a side note, did anyone even know we had a fan advisory board until a week ago? 😂
-
I’m fully expecting Tonda to be announced as the new manager on the Monday after the Charlton game
-
It’s going to get to the point of beggars can’t be choosers very quickly 😂 For example, Russell Martin is far from anyone’s interest right now but if you were left with the options of him, Jesse Marsch, Tonda Eckhart or Gary O’Neill…
-
Bit of a salty response there. I’ll try and be more ITK next time.
-
Brendan Rodgers won’t be coming here

Manage Southampton on Football Manager 2026
Willo of Whiteley replied to Matthew Le God's topic in The Saints
I’d say if anyone has got Saints as top of the league to apply for the real life managerial role. SR like their data. -
Any chance Rasmus was involved? 👀 #multiclubmodelbenefits and all that 🤣
-
Imagine the reaction of some of our “leaders” in th squad if they tried to orchestrate the sacking of Will Still in order to get someone better, only to be given someone worse. 😂 For note, I don’t think the players were trying to get rid of WS, but they certainly weren’t trying as hard as they could.
-
I must admit I’ve done the same for you in the past 😅
