Closely followed by this I assume...? 😁

Need a full stop at the end of that last sentence mate...

Exactly... don't let the buggers get you down Turkish!

Typical Sporting Life, getting their photo captions and headlines wrong yet again FFS....

Yep, just watching it on catch-up now. Another day off for the players yesterday then.... #sigh

"and now you're gonna believe us... The Saints are going down! The Saints are going down!" 😥

Post bookmarked....

Anyone know what time today's pre-match press conference is / was schedule for?

Ideal!

Ah...got it....just realised the stable lad is called George...Damn, there it was staring us in the face all along!

So... Anyone know if Juric has any 'favourite' players that tend to follow him from club to club? i.e. any realistic potential loan options in January that we could link to him?

Fair point 👍

Exactly what I've been pondering over the last few days. I guess the answer is "it was all Jason Wilcox's idea" but then why did SR employ someone who seemingly has a different footballing philosophy to the ownership...?

Hmm, agree, that does alter the 'caretaker' dynamic somewhat... Unless there's some kind of pre-agreed 6 month mutual break clause in there (maybe?)

Dreamland... Sign him up! 😉

I think it's the least confusing decision SR have made thus far... Meanwhile, back to the thread where the new manager is being discussed... 🤷‍♂️

I'm all for self-deprecation on here, but please don't be too harsh on yourself Jordan

That's a fair point of view, but one with which I ultimately disagree. Would be a tad dull if we all agreed though

Fair point, although I guess it's a "damned if they do, damned if they don't" situation. If they gave the next manager a 3 year deal (say), there would be as much criticism on the other side of the coin, and could lead to even more upheaval in the summer. Getting someone in effectively on trial seems sensible to me, and gives SR 6 months to hatch a transition plan for the summer, should they need one, in order to minimise any upheaval. (Yeah, I know... SR and "planning"... Hmm... )

Indeed. If this appointment is to achieve one thing, it's to flush the Martin tactical mentality out of the players' minds. This fella sounds like he'll achieve that, and some...

Ah, yes! Good spot! 😁
