No-one should be calling for Koeman's head yet of course. BUT: As I said a week or so back, I don't see him here for another season after this ends, simply because he won't be satisfied with rebuilding every single summer from a team thats been reamed and eviscerated by the big boys. And with cheaper imports. He bought into a project that was sold to him as developing a young hungry, exciting team of academicians, bolstered with judicious acquisitions to push the top 6 and give them a hard time each year in the league. Instead he's got to make do and mend with journeymen. No one of his stature would tolerate that year in year out. He will choose to depart.

wtf? it's Europe, what was all the effort for last season?

this

Some thing seriously wrong behind closed doors.

Koeman Reid and Kruger have some explaining to do.

Is this the Southampton Way? Relegation, spectre, looming.

No pace, press, or creativity. Koeman can't surely be playing this way deliberately?

That statement is beginning to look less of a joke with every passing minute.

utter dross

Sorry it this has already been dealt with elsewhere: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/premier-league/11826397/The-great-Premier-League-clearout-the-stars-clubs-want-to-shift.html?frame=3420023

Lol

Many a true word said in jest...

We are, quite simply, a very ordinary team this year.

The Poch Press has completely died away now.

Black Box got malware in it?

Not a valid comparison

Not sure what Wren's on about above, but the boffins behind the fabled Black Box should look at performing Stereotactic Prefrontal Lobotomies on all Academicians at 12, making them devoid of ambition and totally subservient to Les. Getting adult transfers to consent to the procedure might be a challenge though, but worth a try.

Mm.m....nothing changes though does it? Channon was lured to move to Citeh and Malcolm Allison's superteam for more £ and the promise of winning the league. Of course the "superteam" tanked and he came back.

Mercenaries to a man, modern players.

I sincerely hope and expect so, but stranger things have happened...

We face the looming spectre of Bournemouth eclipsing us this season unless we improve dramatically. The Cherries were very unlucky in their first 2 games and what's transpiring so far at wetSham is not a surprise.

Watford 2, Saints 0.

Watford suddenly looks a daunting prospect.

A season of chasing the coat tails of the likes of Palace and Stoke is not what I had hoped for.

This is his last season here. He is too good to put up with "make do and mend" every season.
