Willo of Whiteley

Well a week ago I don’t think we’d ever have envisioned him still being here now

Not sure how accurate this is, but I’ve read somewhere that Burnley getting relegated has got them more money than Inter Milan winning Serie A. Mental if true.

They’re probably on holiday 😂

Or be spotted carrying any form of phone 😂

Goal of the Season: Shea Charles - any one of the three

If we keep him we have to win the league. Back with a vengeance etc No exceptions. Only then will people be happy 👍🏻

Chilled on Sunday, mind

Tumbleweed

Ugly Inside Enough said. 😂

Exactly this, it’s pretty much been tumbleweed

Largely agree, I’d be baffled though if he still had the support of the dressing room.

Unconfirmed rumour but a mate of mine told me now that there are more Turkish barbers in Southampton than there are seats at St Mary’s. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Funny that, could’ve sworn someone else in this thread said Scott Parker was going there 😉 It’s the right decision for West Ham, he’s a good manager, whether West Ham is the right club for him, questionable maybe? But if he was sacked I’d have taken him in a heartbeat.

Sport Republic’s scouting network is weird. Theyre trying to be this trendy hip business scouting for the group rather than scouts at individual clubs. This is why there’s so much chopping and changing in roles. Hardly a surprise recruitment has been iffy in recent years, you could be scouting for Goztepe on Monday and scouting for Southampton on the Wednesday.

I don’t care as long as the kit isn’t 90% white like it has been in two of the last four years

I’m sure I heard on Football Martin’s podcast thing a couple of days ago that he doubts the leak is the correct shirt, because his “sources” said we were going away from traditional stripes. ITK status - pending….

There is absolutely nothing in has parting comments 😂 He simply may not have worked closely with him. Remember Tonda is a head coach, I imagine Chorley has more direct links with Rasmus and Spors than the first team. Still, didn’t stop Sky from positing about it like it was some kind of breaking news. Fannies.

I’d take JWP if he was on a pittance, and assuming that one of our other CMs has left. Otherwise I’m more against bringing former players back. See Lallana and Romeu for reasonings. 😅

Money talks. You can get anyone you want if you promise them a few quid. I wonder what our players would say if you said to them “we’ll give you a promotion win bonus to keep you given the circumstances” but with the expectation we go up this season, if we don’t the club keeps it. 😅

This could not be more accurate. See Aston Villa’s hiring of Unai Emery and our hiring of Nathan Jones - and then the time that has passed for both clubs. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Vibes of: Captain Blackadder: There was one tiny flaw in the plan? Lieutenant George: What was that, sir? Captain Blackadder: It was bollocks. 🤣

I’m now going to take a different approach and say I couldn’t give a toss until we actually have some real news. Some kind of report or fact to work with. Not gossip. 🤣 Lets all go out and enjoy the sun!

Depends if he’s going to play football or take up the Oriol role 😅

I think we’re in a good position to be promoted next season. It might seem a bit ridiculous but we’re still an attractive prospect, big club, good facilities, playing squad etc. Players might want to leave, but contracts are still valid, I think we’ll cash in on a couple but not as many as people think. This summer will now show the owners business model. Whether they give a toss more about which league we’re in or player trading.

That’s one way of getting your engagements up 🤣
