Pen

Listening on BBC 5 live, it sounds like we are doing decently?

Non pen? VAR?

Yes, we are almost certainly going down whoever we get in as manager, and while that will rule out any big names, an up-and-coming manager could take on the job knowing that if we go down he won’t be blamed and it could be an attractive project to get us up again swiftly and then stay in the Premier League. If they managed by some miracle to keep us up then even better. So it’s a win-win scenario for a young Turk.

Fits with the languid play in games.

Yes Martin is out of his depth, but this multi-club model is soulless and Sports Republic smack of being shallow frauds.

I said weeks back that Everton and Wolves were the guillotine games for Martin. If he doesn’t go after today (assuming no miracle comeback in the next 20 minutes) then I really don’t know what criteria the owner and the SR shysters are working to.

Agree. All it achieves is bringing the unwanted, unwarranted voyeuristic attention of an entire stadium (+/- TV audience) to someone possibly fighting for their life.

This wasn't in the script.

We have lift-off!

Presumably, given there's no change ever in how we play, Martin thinks it will all suddenly "click" one day and we power on up the table to euro-place glory?

Agree, and it is getting too late to save us whoever they get in.

This is the first of the 2 "guillotine games". Martin, in my judgement, will be dismissed if we remain bottom and/or winless after this and Wolves away.

It is a life sentence for a Saints fan.

If we are still bottom and/or winless after Everton and Wolves, and he’s not sacked at that point, then we know that they are letting him take us back down again. Think that’s the last really viable point in the season for a change that could get us out of this mire.

The problem is this is not a scenario that has occurred yet in the Premier League.

The OP was joking.

Sticking with this prediction.

They re truly our bogey of bogey teams.

Wasn't the guy a defender when he played, too?

Jesus wept. I take a nap at 2-0 and wake up to this. Sack him.

Irritatingly, looks like Liverpool have unearthed a great manager in Slot. Got real charisma.

It is but I don't see them acting before then.

Everton (H) or Wolves (A) will be the guillotine games.
