I always thought there was sum ting wong about that.

Coutinho, inexplicably chose Liverpool over us

Bang average, 5/10, bad attitude, big ego, wouldn't fit Ralphs system...

He's a very good footballer technically and does like to get stuck in. His lack of pace stops him being a great player, IMO. MAybe he would be better sitting behind the strikers and threading balls rather than coming in from wide?

You've put doubt in my mind now, he did have a beer gut and was driving a Transit tipper, maybe it wasn't him?

I don't see him making an impact coming of the bench, he needs to move on his sake and ours.

That fits, I've just seen just seen Ronaldo at Tesco Express in Millbrook, buying 20 Silk Cut, 2 scotch eggs, sausage role and a can of Monster.

I’d say evolution should equal improvement, so there is the first inaccuracy.

Extremely shoddy work, words cannot express how disappointed I am, shooting from the hip like that. Frankly I'm appalled.

I don't think he will either, but all I am saying I don't want us to do badly just to be justified in my opinion of him

I'm not his biggest fan true, but what I'm actually desperate for is a big improvement, if he is the man to deliver it then I'll be more than OK with it.

SOUTHAMPTON boss Ralph Hasenhuttl is favourite to be the first managerial casualty of the 2022-23 Premier League season. That's according to bookmakers Betfair, who've updated their 'Next Manager' market ahead of the new campaign, which begins on August 5th. 1 Ralph Hasenhuttl is favourite to be the first Premier League manager to leaveCredit: GETTY BETFAIR: GET £30 IN FREE BETS* Hasenhuttl, 54, replaced Mark Hughes in December 2018 but has never secured a top-half finish during his tenure. Saints finished 15th last year, winning just nine games -- only relegated trio Norwich, Watford and Burnley won fewer. They drew on 13 occasions, and lost 16 times with the fourth worst goal difference in the division (-24). Bookies Betfair expect Southampton to have a difficult season after pricing them at 3/1 to be relegated.

Then you got scouted by Pompey

You misunderstand the fundamental saints fan psychology in these times, to be a Saints legend you must fulfil one or more of the following criteria:- a) Leave the club having never played, or hardly ever played for the first team b) Do not sign for the club despite a high degree of potential rumours / fantasising / unfounded speculation c) Be a Saints transfer target no one had ever heard of before we expressed an interest (However, the SWF intelligence will swear blind they have been avidly following his career to date). It's far easier to lose legendary status, this can be achieved in the following ways:- a) age and injuries catch up (he was never any good) b) you see your future somewhere else you perceive as up the food chain c) having your own views on things d) General point - Just by playing for Saints = he is the the worst player evva' and is stealing a living in the premier league

I woz there!

All the best to Shane, never gave less than 100% for us.

I honestly don’t understand your response, why would I hate Saints staying up? For the avoidance of doubt was just pointing out that the margins were very fine and some of Burnley’s team would improve our team, am I wrong? Is Pope not superior to McCarthy as one example? If Burnley had a stand out performer like JWP would they have been relegated?

We stayed up thanks to a fluke win over Arsenal and JWP free kicks, so yes, some of that bunch would make us a much stronger team. I’d draw the line at Dyche, but that doesn’t make the case for Ralph

Do you not think his return was instrumental in Leeds survival?

that's a bit harsh, he is only one man. I do recall him looking absolutely forlorn in the Chelsea capitulation, t (which was far worse than either 9 - 0 in my opinion), trying to cover a midfield that was being torn to shreds. If I was singling out anyone it would be the players who got sent of early through recklessness, but mostly at Ralph's door who was a bewildered dear in the headlights for all 3 of those games. When Ralph Ball fails it does so spectacularly.

No chance that would ever happen.

Works would be valued as they proceed, money would be paid at the agreed rate of the valuation (progress payment) . This is paid retrospectively. For example works complete at the end of May would be paid at whatever terms were agreed, maybe two weeks after the end of month. So in that respect the professional teal looking after Saints should have kept them well covered. The issue for Saints is to have the works completed for the remaining value of the contract, this is a risk, of unknowns, for other contractors who will price that risk accordingly. Then there is als the big fat mess of unpaid subcontractors and suppliers, and in certain circumstances who holds title to goods. Ultimately the biggest losers will be the subcontractors who will have little means of recovering costs, and maybe compelled or incentivised to complete their works at a loss, rather than getting nothing.

"This" is a big thing in itself. The multiple ownership makes me uneasy, i do not understand the principle buying an inferior player to loan to an inferior team, I do not understand the Lyanco situation either . I think Ralph should have gone,the rest depends on the squad rebuild before the start of the season.

I'm generally very concerned regarding the new regime. Until now I've kept it to myself, I didn't want to be seen as the one one peeing on everyone's chips..

Be nice, if everyone put in the effort he does we’d be a top 8 team
