So, is it a problem with the system, per se, or a problem with too many thick people...? 🤔

Just to clarify, are we talking about the now extinct football club that used to play at Fratton Park, or the football club which was incorporated in 2012 that now plays at Fratton Park? The current football club that plays there have never been in the top flight. HTH.

I thought I read / heard somewhere that Stephens got one of the these mystery / unannounced contract extensions that the club seem to dish out (ditto McCarthy)? Or maybe false memory syndrome.

That's the 'in a nutshell' comment for me. I've always given Ralph the benefit of the doubt on previous poor runs because one could argue there were extenuating circumstances, but this current run is baffling. It has all the hallmarks of something not being right behind the scenes but unless we get to know what, if anything, is occuring being closed doors it's almost impossible to make a judgement on how well Ralph might do next season. So, from a logical perspective, there's a level of risk if we stick with him BUT also a level of risk if we opt for a new manager. How do we know which is the greater risk? Bottom line is that we don't...

Never. Any. Doubt

Not forgetting the 3 points we took against them in October... #everypointiscrucial

Didn't we ditch the intensive high-press approach at least 5 games ago?

FFS. Will Leicester be this charitable when we play them...?

Get in!

I reluctantly sent off my application form for the 'Ralph Out' club just before our superb 'Top 6 form' run from December to March. That run led me to believe, like many others, that he had found the key to the consistency door at long last. But, alas, it would appear, in retrospect, to have been a false dawn. I'm therefore, somewhat reluctantly again, dusting off my 'Ralph Out' membership card as I feel the club needs the kind of fresh impetus that only a new management regime can bring. I still remain baffled how a manager can go from seemingly being a genius at some stages of the season to someone that resembles a clueless buffoon at other times. For sale: #legend hashtag. One careful owner.

If only we had someone on here who already knows what it looks like....

Words you don't expect to see in the same sentence....

Eddie Howe's Bournemouth conceded more than 60 goals every season during their Premier League tenure, and he's one of the best managers around...
