SW5 SAINT

What ever division we end up playing in next season, if this man is still in charge I will not be renewing my season ticket.........

Last Saturday on Gillette Soccer Saturday, MLT said that the Birmingham decision to sack Rowett was the most bizarre sacking he could remember. Birmingham did at least manage to stay up last season. Southampton's recent managerial change is now looking far more stupid and ten times as catastrophic......

Lol - Liverpool drop Van Dyck and keep clean sheet for a change, he will struggle to get back in that team...........

A 1-1 draw is nailed on........

Why does it matter whether the VvD money was all up front or not......? Any Southampton incoming transfer will be structured just the same way.......

They probable came to that conclusion from reading this site..........

The board would still have to have someone lined up, to come in and hit the ground running.........

I see the reports states that we may struggle to retain our place due to failure to qualify for the Europa League. Failure to retain our EPL status is likely to result in a huge loss on income. Though I suppose the VvD windfall may help boost our income streams......

We have to start winning though.............

If we are to stay up, we can't just rely on the other rubbish teams losing. Good luck to Swansea, they changed their manager and are now beginning to reap the rewards. Just can't see us ever getting a win against a half decent side

The reality was Hull were well adrift at the time he took over, it looked hopeless. Yet he had them in with a chance up until the end. With a couple more wins on the board when he took over he would have kept them up. With your argument Pep Guardiola could take over a team that had lost it's first 19 matches, and fail to keep them up and you would label him a failure.

In a nutshell........

I think the case with Les & Co is that they are like rabbits caught in the glare of headlights.......

We'd be comfortably mid table if we had appointed Allardyce, Pardew, Moyes, Lambert.......

Don't forget his substitutions........

But we are not going to win all of those........

and Leicester City were bottom........

Thing is, it's already nearly sold out.......

A defeat and the manager might have gone............

So a draw is nailed on.......

Why would we pay Celtic all their fee at once? Surely they will get 10% or whatever everything time we received instalment........

I do remember Lawrie Mac taking over when Saints were 5th in the old Div 1, and getting us relegated in 20th four months later......

They needed to have the replacement manager lined up before firing Puel, Just as Cortese did when he replaced Adkins. That was the biggest mistake....

It doesn't matter to the football club whether they get the £70m all in one go, or staged payments as long as they get the headline figure it. Any transfers in to Southampton will be staged in just the same way. Mind you if the money is going to Mr Gao, he might like it all in one hit....

We're not going to win the cup with this manager.........
