If I recall correctly, and I’ve no intention of checking, we had a bit of luck in the first game, some decisions going our way, they had no fit striker and one of their best players went of injured. We did well in the highly charged second game, but their chance had gone by then. So, as you say, no schooling involved.

Is Charlie still in touch ?

Yes my child?

I feel this is a serious problem with the data driven recruitment / reward process, in any industry, stats don’t reflect strength of character or personality. Some people are masters at satisfying the metrics while achieving little of value.

As I said above, I'm not supporting the decision, but if it turns hostile straight away we will be the losers.

I’m not advocating for him, but if that’s the decision that is made the only viable choices are not to go to matches or go and give them your support. It’s pointless getting on his back, it will be counter productive. It’s really unlikely Saints will ever appoint the type of manager the general consensus among supporters feel we need, without having to rip up the whole SR (Rasmus’s) philosophy.

If it is him I just hope that the supporters give him a fair go.

The Crook story may be nothing, but it is possible SR are sounding out fan reaction. Dragan has history in using talksport as a vehicle.

Good for his next contract negotiations though, I like his style.

I was not aware of that.

Do you know his father was a professional football manager, Northampton I think.

Hope its not

I’ll take one, or two, big supporter of charity me, not a dirty old letch at all.

I’d have all 3 before Martin.

I don't disagree with you, what I said and what you said aren't mutually exclusive.

Is it a delay, are they taking too long? I don’t think it is. It was probably a late decision to sack Still. Then the process begins, sound out targets, receive applications from others, people decline interviews, people don’t interview well, people interview well but decide it’s not for them for any number of reasons. The main players are divided on who they would like… the permutations are endless. I think we are in reasonably capped hands with our interim manager and if it takes time to get the right man, so be it.

In response to your point, “why sack Still”, I think they have been vindicated in that decision, we were hovering just above relegation, in terminal decline and there is no guarantee or way of knowing that still would have won those last two games,despite the widely held belief he would have done. Things must have been broken beyond repair behind the scenes.

Tulip Suddiq?

I called that last week, itk me.

Fans will be divided regardless, I’m really not keen on Viera.

He’s a delivery driver for B and Q, I don’t see the significance?

In his defence, Robinson was done in and Scienza injured, we were 2 - 0 up at that point and should have closed the game out comfortably until Baz’s howler. At that point we were left with no out. Unfortunate I’d say, unless you believe he bought it on himself by playing Baz.

Sad news

it would be one that didn't pay wages.

I've heard his preferred formation is 7 3 1 - with 5 cb's, he was a frequent visitor to Epstein Island - allegedly (or it could have been Hayling Island, I always get those two mixed up, but that's not the point), he sold state secrets to China, he hates kittens and small children and he used to play for Portsmouth.
