Toussaint

I didn’t realise how famous he was, I’m inundated with emails about Willy extensions

Just from the January window thread. I don't do Twitter. I presumed it had come from the new regime.

Talk of a "statement signing" which i interpret as a big name

“Yeah, I think in the short term not much change,” Semmens told BBC Radio Solent, when asked what Sport Republic’s acquisition means for Hasenhuttl’s future. https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/19824924.southampton-takeover-mean-ralph-hasenhuttl/ I think the report may have been toned down a bit since I first read it a couple of days ago. Of course I may have got the wrong end of the stick.

I just read the Echo article, I thought the comments re Ralph's future were very non - committal

That is true of this forum, however he is yet to achieve the status of the legendary Jankowitz.

I'm surprised there hasn't been more chatter about Ralphs future since the takeover. My perception from the comments made on the day of the announcement is that he doesn't have too much of a future here. I definitely don't see him managing "big name" signings if that is the intention of the new regime.

It would be Ironic as his recent goals and assists have all but secured our premier league survival, who knows if the takeover would have happened had we been in a more precarious position?

I heard he peeked down a ladies blouse once, I think he needs to apologies to all of womankind, just like I had to.

That's worrying, having fought of Gao's attempt to colonise Southampton and turn it into a Chinese state owned super port, we now have to deal with an owner who wishes to depose our Monarchy.

I'd be happy with that, but I'm not sure you would categorise that as a statement signing, I tend to think of household names, such as Eriksen, as mentioned above..

I'd say service to the strikers is more of an issue, we seem to have to score out of nothing. Someone in the mould of Jared Bowen would make a huge difference to us, Redmond and Djneppo just don't cut it for me at this level.

Valery has had personal issues, maybe Shane has helped and mentored him on a personal level?

I’m getting used to really not enjoying it, or anything about it.

Deduct them 3 points, award us the 3 points as a forfeit, job done and an end to the shenanigans.

Always a chance a spurs player gets sent off the way it’s going

Beasant was the rock on which it was built

That would explain all the rainbows round the place.

Just to clear up the confusion, Its his African cousin, Alli Dele, we are in for

Redmond, a senior player, always goes into his shell when we are up against it

If we could get in to half time only a goal down then Ralph can deploy the false 10, pivot wing backs, triple trapezoidal midfield 2 covering 8 positions, working against the ball with on the bus, bring long and Walcott on palace won’t know what’s hit them.

No, I’ve seen the data, it doesn’t lie!

Think we are going to get something out of this.

At least we don’t have to listen to depressed Martin Tyler or Ian Darke, there’s always a positive

THe reason Id have McGinn is his resilience of character, which we lack
