Toussaint

I feel none of this nostalgia for Ralph, he was another one trick pony that failed to adapt once everyone had learned to nullify his style. It's where we went after that that's the problem. Incidentally, in the very interesting Spors article in the DE he seems to have a fair bit of admiration for Ivan From the Daily Echo; I know Ivan Juric for a very long time. Not that we worked together or had a relationship before we met here. He worked in Italy and I was in Italy. I was always very impressed by the achievements that he had. He really stabilised difficult environments, especially defensively. He made sure that his clubs not only stabilised but also grew again. It’s not a secret and he is the first one to say this to you when you interview him… He is not satisfied that this development is not visible here yet. I’m here to observe this, of course. I’m here to help him wherever I can. That’s the situation where we are at the moment. The manager at the moment is Ivan and will be Ivan. There is no other decision taken.

https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/25041185.every-word-southamptons-technical-director-spors-said-lengthy-talk/ He comes across very well in this interview, it has given me some confidence those at the top have recognised the issues and have a plan in place and are now getting the right people in place to implement the plan.

Thanks for that Nick, just listened today. It was really enjoyable. It made me nostalgic for previous Saints teams, who may have had their limitations but didn't lack the fight of the pathetic squads we've had over the last few seasons.

Or yellow with a white feather motif.

I’m saying £40 plus add ons. I’m sure a lot of clubs are watching him closely and appreciate the X factor he possesses and how he has been overused in a dreadful team with two successive bad managers. Caveat: if he goes to Newcastle which is a strong possibility then your £25 will probably be nearer the mark.

The city is a stinking dump and the football team are the worst ever. But other than that you make a good point.

I blame Rasmus

I agree with a lot of what you say, regarding binning players. it’s particularly disappointing how KWP has given up given how long he has been with us, but I disagree about Manning, I have never seen him be less than 100% committed. Given where we are heading he will be valuable. I also think THB will become a very good player with more experience and within in a properly organised team.

Seems like a good time to deploy your meme, you know the one. Is there a plural version?

I was thinking same, I got a message to say it was overloaded or something similar.

Not a conspiracy theory, just a theory that they are a bunch of fraudsters, charlatans and chancers who are too cowardly to face the consequences of their actions.

I see Matthew, it’s not you, it’s the magic mushrooms.

You were wrong, everyone in the world knows it. Honestly, I’m not angry, just disappointed

Oh no! 😳

Spores out!

Anyone think we are “goaling” again this season?? That doesn’t make grammatical sense at all Matthew!

If it makes him feel better, who are we to judge?

Yep, there is no point in him continuing

Honestly thought we’d win today, in every aspect of my life I’m ultra pragmatic and realistic, to the point of being thought of as a miserable cynical front bum, But saints are one area I remain completely delusional.

Our black box has a propensity for seeking out week minded arrogant twats of limited ability

Or better still eff off and leave us in better hands

He shouldn’t have started, he needs a rest and to be taken out of the limelight for a time, very irresponsible of Juric and the club in my opinion.

He is extremely fortunate to be playing premier league football, I can’t think of another side he’d get anywhere near.

We have Downes and wee-wee man who are on strike?

Yes my child?
