If you think Puel should be sacked, you should ask yourself with the forwards we have available, which mangager do you think would've had us higher than 10th at this point of the season. The buy low, sell high strategy hasn't worked this year, it's that simple. Very little of those decisions are Puel's fault. If we had 2 decent centre-forwards, we'd be mixing it up in 5th/6th place now.

If he's willing to take a massive wage cut, I'm sure he'd do a job for us but come January we probably more urgently need a striker and I fear 1 or 2 centre backs!

Mcqueen and Sims show that isn't always necessary.

The PA was too loud when playing music but the correct volume for the announcer. Hopefully they can make the necessary adjustments so the music is quieter but we don't go back to the situation of never being able to hear half-time interviews.

It would be great if he could get a mention on football focus.

Lovren sold for £20M VVD bought for £11.5M

True, I manage about 1 or 2 a season but I do watch England abroad a lot so do know what it's all about. Playing devils advocate. Would you rather finish 8th in Prem or win the EL and get relegated from the Prem?

It's a sad state of affairs but I can't see how (apart from winning it and qualifying for the Champions League) an EL campaign will be good for the club this season. From a financial point of view, the EL is pointless. Less than £10M earned by the winners compared to £97M for finishing bottom in the Premier League this season! Currently our squad is not as strong as last season and I fear a long EL campaign risks getting us involved in a relegation scrap. It comes down to what you want to get out of supporting Saints, my heart wants a great EL run with hopes of getting to the final but my head says we're better off going out in the group stages and/or playing reserve sides.

Game management is an everyday phrase with the pros in many sports.

~ £50M

Typical of a Saints fan's ignorance of the reality which is that the club is ~ £50 in debt.

We don't always have to purchase players, we didn't purchase (insert academy starlet). I don't think you appreciate that we can't afford to replace like for like, we simply cannot afford to pay the wages of a £34 million player. Keep your fingers crossed that we're bought by a Chinese or Saudi billionaire and in the meantime get comfortable with reality.

Why don't you just read the financial report?

I am assuming that Rodriguez and Austin wont manage 30 games between them but I hope I'm wrong. I also think we need more cover up front with the addition of the European fixtures.

+1 Keegan out, Fonte in!

Both Harrison Reed and Romeu should get runs in the 1st team.

Guus Hiddink!

Please please let us get Guus Hiddink in.

If that's true, it's a terrible idea. A professional foul is one that is done purely to prevent the other player scoring with no attempt to win the ball. If the player knows they might not get sent off, it will encourage them to make these cynical fouls. The big teams where players and managers will intimidate refs and get let off with a yellow, then a Saints player will make an honest attempt to win the ball and be given red. Backwards step.

If Manure are so terrible, what are Saints or Palace? It's a final, anything can happen but Manure are big favourites.

I can see Koeman leaving at some point to manage the Dutch side, Barcelona, Man U etc but Everton? hahaha why would he want to go there? He has MUCH better options.

Probably, luckily they and you aren't the manager.

If you always played Jamie Vardy at left back, he'd also probably be in this list.
