They have essentially admitted they have fucked the season up and have attempted to make changes to sort recruitment out for next season. They are also not 'totally inept' at owning a club, as if they were... Goztepe wouldn't be 6th in the Super League.

We all do now!

VAR checked it

Saints playing death metal football...

What does that achieve? They have fucked the season up, they know they have. They aren't going to leave and have attempted to start to put things in place so we don't fuck up recruitment in the summer.

Not even Fernandes?

Well if it is anything like the official FM Saints data I did, then it won't help. We are shit on that. It would have been a very difficult challenge had the game come out this season.

He tries putting things into places by any means possible even if they don't fit at first

Play the unofficial update instead.

It isn't something new. Rusk has remained with the first team since he was caretaker. You can see him in training videos and on the bench throughout Juric's reign. Sport Republic haven't been cheap on manager, they have paid out compensation to sign Jones and Martin, plus Juric even though he was unattached will be on a big wage.

It isn't a Saintsy thing to do at all. They have not appointed a permanent manager from within for over 20 years! I'd be stunned if Johannes Spors viewed Rusk as an option in the summer. For a start Juric is contracted beyond the summer and secondly, even if Juric was sacked, we'd be an attractive job for experienced managers. No need to look to someone as inexperienced as Rusk.

How have you jumped to that conclusion?

No, it'll be the usual 3412 or 3421 formation.

What makes you think that? Juric keeps using Aribo at CB and praising his performances on the LCB role. Plus he has not previously changed from his favoured 3421 or 3412.

We already have multiple prolific strikers at Championship level. Brereton Diaz, Armstrong, Archer plus Stewart (was in a small sample), and I think Onuachu would also be prolific at that level. We do not know for certain what the future is with any of them. Even with Armstrong and Brereton Diaz (with an option to buy) currently loaned out, they may still return for us. Plus our manager has the opportunity to have a loan at Juan Santos da Silva when he returns in the summer and see if he might be an option we could use.

This is never going to happen. We signed him on a deal upto £12m. He has 2 years left on his contract. It makes no sense for either club or player to agree to your suggestion. 1) Why would he agree to forfeit millions of pounds in contracted wages? 2) His value isn't £0, why would the club let go a player they signed for a fee rising to £12m go on a free transfer? Even if you don't think he is any good, his value is still in the millions. 3) How many examples can you name of other clubs doing similar to other relatively big money young players with 2 years left on their contracts? It just doesn't happen... and for good reason.

I think Juric would use 3 CBs in a 3421 or 3412 regardless of who we had as centre backs (good or bad). It is the system he has used for years at multiple clubs.

Won 5-0 tonight vs Norwich. Nicholas Oyekunle with 4 goals! Moved to top of the league, but many teams have a lot of games in hand over Saints (although they will all be taking points off each other in those games so Saints may not plummet too far).

Not happened quite yet. Not finalised.

Why are you seemingly complaining an 18-year-old signing who has not cost €5m (yet and possibly never will) has not played for our first team? Plus 20 of those 31 were in the 2nd tier (when he was 16/17 years old).

Kayi Sanda has not cost that much (yet). That is the potential total fee if all conditions are met, which has not yet happened. At the age of only 18 he already has 31 first-team appearances.

About to tip over (after 30th June) into not having the 2022/23 £160m+ spent disaster transfer windows not applying to the rolling accounts.

The press have mentioned Newcastle as a potential destination for Ramsdale. He may need to look elsewhere...
