I'm leaning towards us going down the "high profile ex-player" route.... so, the likes of Rooney or Vieira. We need a manager that'll command respect from the dressing room as well as being able to attract and retain decent players, and the best way of ticking those boxes (IMO) will be to get a world class ex-player on board. Another relatively unknown manager from the lower leagues and/or a foreign league won't cut it for me.

And it would be very Saintsy for 'summer' to be August rather than June....

via Glasgow....? (Sorry, bit of a Saintsweb Forum 'in joke'.... )

I agree that next season in the championship has the potential and all the ingredients to be a good one... However.... One's excitement is tempered by the inevitably that we'll screw things up, starting with a piss poor managerial appointment...

It's almost as if Pompey fans are a bit thick...

What about Uranus?

Bingo... Nail on head...

Wouldn't the reported/rumoured falling out with certain key players have been a factor in our survival chances under Ralph? Don't get me wrong, I was one of his biggest "fan boys" but even I could see that his time had come to an end for several reasons.

The thing is, we'll never know whether or not we'd have been relegated had Ralph not been sacked, ergo we can't say if it was the right decision or not.

New box of tissues for the commentary team please #multipleorgasms

Lol

Game over

Yep, that was a yellow all day long

Oh, go on then...

Now, that could knock some sense into some of our players...

I wonder what Cortese could have achieved with the transfer kitties that Dragan sanctioned over the last two windows? Given he was very good at spending someone else's money...

Most of our players have made it quite clear that they don't give a toss so there's no "if" about it unfortunately

4 wins and I reckon we've got this

We're not going to be anywhere close to promotion next season so it doesn't matter who comes down with us.

Les Reed not giving Kooman what he wanted #RootCauseAnalysis

This. And play the B team for the rest of the season.

Unhappy it is then....

Not one yellow card for our players this evening. Just about sums up our commitment levels.

Assume this is the sister thread to "Is the Pope a Catholic?"

It's the only explanation I can come up with
