SW5 SAINT

We're probably stuck with him. No ones going to take a punt on him on the wages he's probably on. I can't imagine he would at that stage agreed a relegation wages cut clause. Actually can't see why any of our big signings would have agreed to one of those, and to be fair none of them have looked exactly like that they were playing to avoid huge salary cut. Though there is always the chance he might be ok in the Championship......

I'm behind the settee............

I can't imagine that players like Carillo, Hoegt or Gabbiadini would ever have consented to come, if Southampton had insisted on a clause cutting their wages in the event of relegation...........

Except he didn't put any of his money in........

Explains why acquisition of a PL club is so popular with investors, they can't lose........

It will be many years before we beat another........

I'd like us to actually win a division, we've only done it once in about a hundred years. Not sure how many other teams of our status have had such little success in actually winning a divisional title.....

Why is he being negative, who is going to get a season ticket then.......?

If he keeps us up, he could well be head hunted by someone else...........

No idea why, just as I've no idea why Alexis Sanchez is worth twice as much in salary terms as Romelo Lukako......?

Austin's games are limited, not sure I would waste one on an U23 match...........

The Cup - Who would swap 1976 for a season in the EPL........

Before the games were staged at Wembley, the venues used to be decided once the draw for the semis had taken place, so yes it was a neutral ground.......

They don't seem to like us very much..........

Why.......?

Lol..........

Who else is going to pick then......?

I do wonder if the board were hoping Pellegrino would resign, thus saving them having to pay compo. Mind that would now appear to be a very false economy.

Perhaps Kat will buy back some of shares she sold, for about a 10th of what she sold them for. The Chinese might be desperate for ready cash............

Just had a glance at all the current managers in the Championship, right down to the two at the bottom Coleman and Clough. Any one of them would offer an immediate improvement on our current manager. I expect it would be same story in League One.......

It's all kicking off at the London Stadium. It's just such a shame wham are there for the taking, they will stay up by default because we are so sh!t.....

Fire him BEFORE the Wigan game, might have a chance to win it then. Who knows we could have the consolation of a cup win in that case.......

Sadly though, Newcastle have the better manager. So I'm afraid it will be a loss......

But they wouldn't/couldn't be any worse than the current regime...........

Thats a bit rich from someone who wanted out of Saints at any cost,,,,,,,,,
