Ronald Koeman 8/11 Claudio Ranieri 3/1 Tim Sherwood 8/1 Current betting @ 14.07 Suggests a two horse race with a late charge

Yes, here it is, the new manager will be , oh I don't know ummm.... Alan Hansen. Fact. This is 100% guarenteed, whyso, I hear you say? I shall tell you.. He resigned from MOTD to make himself available I heard someone say it (that someone may or may not have been me, can't divulge my sources) I followed the statement with "fact" which closes off counter argument I have set aside this weeks shopping money to bet on it I met an old soothsayer in the woods who proclaimed such to be true

That works on many levels, it can also be adapted, whereby Mopo could be substituted with Lalla, or any other snivelling little rats name for that matter. I like it, you have my full backing, good work!

But he doesn't deserve a decent reception, he is a contemptible man. But I do have to credit him with being a great deceiver, he certainly seems to have vast numbers under his spell.

I forgive the club their agenda, they are being mercilessly slaughtered by a vociferous rabble, only too ready to believe that MP and AL are some kind of deity, therefore everyone other than those two must be at fault. There is no doubt a wider agenda to put little old Saints back in their box. I find the OP very plausible. Our club are behaving with dignity, in stark contrast to the press / agents and the sucked in fans.

Problem is the Saints fans kangaroo court cannot comprehend any wrong by MP. He has played everyone for fools! Nothing would have made him stay, we were a gateway for his personal betterment. All these "what if" scenarios are getting ridiculous.

In that case someone should take responsibility and make it up, providing the fabricated news is all terrible. It can then be reported as news by the echo and all the myriad of internet news outlets and away we go!

I am happy to accept any donations, I have poured a small mortgage into Saints since '77. I can swallow my pride

I don't think its fantastic, just a populist view appealing to the more excitable fans. Articles like this, and Dave Merrington's rants on Solent last night aren't helping.

And what gives you the right to make rational reasoned statements, jump on the bus! Tis the end of the world as we know it!

Exactly, the world will keep turning, we've seen much darker days than this and come through it.

You just don't know that. Chin up and stiff upper lip man!

Ditto.

Just to nip this in the bud...I can conform categorically that its rumoured these rumours are potentially definitely rumours which may or may not contain truth, or the opposite to truth.

Much of a muchness, I believe this is a pretty poor saints outfit who may or may not survive, regardless of the manager. Honestly, take your red and white spectacles off, not many of this team would get a run in a Europe place chasing side. If Corteses ambitions are to be believed then apart from a select few players most will not have much of a future at the club. By and large this is Adkins team, not Pochettino's, Poch is looking at the squad he has, and probably thinking oh dear. If we survive the he can be judged when he has had time to get his team together . If we had survived under NA I could only foresee perennial struggle.

Could be, that's how I see the world

Perth WA

I would agree, (IMO the PL is obscene), but nevertheless having got here we could be having a far better go at it, this is just humiliating!

yes, but with far more feisty scrapping teams than the current lot

Does your mum still live there?

"Only one Vicky Pollard"........................................You had to be there!

Not as good as Pat Wickes in Brighton, though? She was well worth the spanking you nearly got?

I don't know why anyone bothers to defend their choices to you. The above statement speaks absolute volumes about you.

Fred, I am surprised at your flippancy - loose laces cost lives, never forget health & safety!

They should be flogged at half time in the next game, if they do it again then its the guillotine. That'll learn 'em.
