Even if the next one is even worse, our current trajectory is relegation anyway.

He will be gone tonight, but the news will not fill me with hope, just apathy I have no belief that SR will be able to understand the circumstances

Hahahaha

Saints 21st and Pompey 19th. Hampshire is brown.

We are going down Say we are going down

That's definitely the other half of it. The losers of yesteryear are now the core of the team. Failure just means you become part of the furniture. Being relegated, finishing bottom, losing games every week, it breaks their psyche. There's definitely a culture of failure in the club. But SR either don't notice it or don't care - they just perpetuate the same names.

I'm starting to zero in on the coaching set up being the problem. Not just the manager, but the entire group. SR throw money at players, some of them mediocre picks to begin with, but there have been good buys on paper. But we continuously ruin players who come to us with pedigree. You can't build a five-star hotel on quicksand.

Probably the prime example of us ruining a player who arrived with great fanfare. I'd love to know what's going on at Staplewood every day.

Has no idea how to run a football club Has no idea what makes a good appointment to any position

The symptom of a broken coaching setup

One day it'll all come out, all the decisions made that caused the total atrophy of the club within 4 years.

Sell up Solak...

Think you'll get the opposite I'm afraid, Scienza is definitely going places after this season

And there it is

Downs looking around like it's his first time seeing St. Marys.

Scienza still the bright spark.

"Southampton have committed four errors leading to goals this season, the most of any Championship team"

That's coming in about 20 minutes actually

Only one spot above the relegation zone. Not sure how much time Still has left if he can't grab the majority of points before the next international break.

And then I woke up...

Any chance of another fire today?

I understand what you're saying on paper, but my heart can't accept it. No way. Why do players have to believe in a manager to put their all in on the pitch? Many of us on this board have put a lot of effort in our own careers to move up onto the next level and better ourselves. Similarly, these players have had to back themselves through years of meat grinder youth football. But now, they have no intrinsic motivation? Don't they want to play at the highest level? And if they can reach the Premier League, they literally earnt the right to be there. Unless they've already accepted they can't hack it at the top level, and are dealing with the sobering realisation they've already peaked. Is it really acceptable to have players with a loser mentality like that?

He's gone to Trabzonspor mate.

yeah I’m on board with a stable starting 11, just pick the best 11 and give them the rest of the year even Downs is shit but has a decent physical profile I don’t know we just need to moor the team and have a bit of normality and stability

I believe the problems run deeper than the manager but the substitutions are killing our game and have only gotten worse really. Not advocating pulling the trigger purely because I’m not sure who would be substantially better and is available. But, if the people in charge do make a change then I wouldn’t protest.
