On top of his £2.2 mil salary I'd be very surprised if he didn't have some built-in incentive bonus(es) plus pension contributions to boot ! I would also expect that there is a 'golden farewell' payment from his employers so why in hell's name they need a whip round from the clubs to top it up baffles me ! The rich get richer and all that.....

Actually I didn’t think we did so badly either and neither did the guys on radio Solent ! The conditions were dreadful and played a part too !!

The only way to prove himself here is to get a run in the team and that ain’t gonna happen so we may as well offload him at the best possible price ! Critical thing though is to replace him with an improvement and we will he competing with most of the lower half PL teams whose need is just about as great as ours ! Good luck to the new DoF !

The King is dead ! Long live the King !

Bizarrely I was in Glasgow last week and almost bumped into the Krankies as I approached the airport car park ! Little Jimmy is an absolute midget but my mind immediately skipped to the Ted Bates statue ! She must have wondered what the hell I was laughing at :)

Bertrand's body language alone disqualifies him from being captain in my opinion ! I don't know much about his character off the pitch but he does not seem vocal nor does he lead by example when playing ! I was surprised when he was given the armband in the first place and nothing I've seen since merits it. I also get the distinct impression that if it is taken away, he'll throw a strop but right now we need a serious change of attitude and it needs to be done ! Hoj is the obvious choice but sadly there are few other candidates currently playing on a regular basis. For me, a top priority is to sign someone like Gary Cahill in January, not only for his experience in the back line but as a captain and leader !

It would be a great idea but nobody (including the manager) seem to know what it is !!

I guess that Gabbi's nose will be extremely out of joint ?

As ever, I think that MH has picked a team for the job, containment but with pace (well as much as we have in the squad) on the break ! JWP for set pieces which is probably our best chance of a goal ! Just chuck in a miracle akin to the loaves and fishes one in the bible and we'll be fine

TBF, you could say exactly the same about Saints !

Personally I think that Hojberg and Redmond have been our best players so far, all about opinions, I suppose !

When we played them last week, both teams used 7 GB players and both have GB managers so that comparison is perhaps not the most valid one ! (If you include S. Long from Ireland, we would have had more) ! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45847411

I thought that this was a forum for Saints supporters ? Yet another thread designed to demean the club, no new information just copy and paste of the same things, time and time again....

Aren't you the one who goes on about sticking to the subject and not being personal ?? First class hypocrisy, well done !

Quite right, having just imploded with 10 minutes to go, I'd be amazed if there weren't frustrations to vent and harsh words to be said ! I'd have been even more p!ssed off if they were all smiles and jolly hockey sticks etc.. etc..

Hear, hear !

I think that will be the case and TBF the result will no doubt hinge upon how many changes / how strong a team each manager puts out !

Mine is no different today, having lost away from home to top of the league Liverpool! Being on holiday in St Tropez and continuing your vitriol does you a disservice, really what is the point ??

Given that it is the 20th Sept and the window doesn’t open until 1st Jan next year, I would suggest that we have time to reflect on this and see how he performs on the odd occasion that he gets a game !

I guess that's true as it's probably unlikely that Saints will offer him an extension !

Would be the ideal move for him although I doubt that Rangers could offer him the same money !
