Nathan (%$*&*$*!) Jones, this is even worse than shopping in the bargain basement. Since when have Charity shops been dealing in PL managers. Poor sod can't even afford razor blades. The board want us in the Championship next season for some reason, just can't put my finger on it?

Surely you are not MLG after all? Best kept secret on the forum.

Yeah but apart from that did you enjoy your day out?

Probably not 100% match fit so on as a sub at 55 minutes.

He has done nothing this season to even half justify selection for the England Squad. HIs whole career in fact has been more promise than manifestation. A few bright spells in an otherwise disappointing journey from Academy hopeful to team captain. I love his flawless character and good nature but he has never lived up to the hype as a footballer. Unquestionably he has benefitted from being the Club's poster boy, local (almost) lad who made good and burnished the image of the Academy in an age of rootless, badge kissing mercenaries, thus guaranteeing his place in the team whatever his level of performance.

It may not be a matter of choice. With a squad load of Championship level dross and a bunch of unproven kids to work with the attraction for any new manager is hard to fathom

Especially as in part 2 of his PC he deflected all the questions about the Club's programs for the WC break. Most unlike him to be so evasive, usually he is very forthcoming and up-front about everything. Arguably he is no longer in the loop and is just seeing his time out.

You can't of course is the answer and as Ralph constantly reminds us this league is getting stronger and stronger each year. It is inevitable in my view that our current model will see us relegated possibly this year but if not this then very soon afterwards.

Ralph wistfully reflecting on his career and his time here today in his PC. Could signal his exit soon.

West Ham United have joined Southampton, Leicester City and Brentford in tracking Brazil winger Tete, 22, who is on loan at Lyon from Shakhtar Donetsk. (Sun)

Lovely trip down memory lane but you forgot to mention the bogs?

So, are we expecting this to be Hasenhüttl's home swan-song in the Premier League? How will you say Auf Weidersehn, with cheers or boos? ..and will it be with a last hurrah for his barmy 4-2-2-2 line up

So we're playing 11 against 4, that will even things up a bit. Good chance of forcing a draw.

...and me. Obviously has an inflated sense of his own importance on here. No self-awareness whatsoever. Why are we talking about him even?

Let's hope so!

WTF was that all nonsense all about? Surely not in the spirit of B team football. I feel sorry for the Middlesboro lads, lambs to the effing slaughter. What's even more embarrassing, even at this level MaCarthy was beaten at his near post flailing his arms about like a bloody windmill yet he gets paid a fortune for this.

What a load of blinkered rollocks. What about all the other players of high potential that have been brought in under Hasenhüttl's various regimes yet disappeared without trace. Where on earth did you get the idea that he is able to turn potential into stardom? There is not a shred of evidence to support such dreamy wishful thinking. The bloke has had nigh on 4 years to prove his credentials here, how much longer do you think he deserve to be given FFS.

Excellent summary!

How much longer can this agony go on? Another appallingly inept performance with the inevitable outcome. Wonder what excuses will be trotted out this time. Surely the time is up for this clueless clown? Get him out!

Bloody stupid decision to send him out on loan in the first place when it became clear we had only Adams & Armstrong as our strike force. How did they figure he wouldn't get enough game time this season. He would have been almost guaranteed to be subbed on in pretty much every match and on the form he is in would soon have established himself as a starter.

Perhaps Hasenhüttl was incapable of getting the best out of these players as they were unsuited to his crappy 4 2 2 2 set up?

On the other hand he has stated quite often that he would love to be Chairman of SFC. Why not as he'll need a job in 2024. In fairness his family started from humble origins and worked their butts off to send him to a decent school and wouldn't we all love to marry into serious money?

We are their feeder club now, goals galore from the ex-Saints and Burnley go top. If they go up and we go down Nathan will have made the right choice. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62762046

Why not just close this thread and stop giving the idiot publicity.

I'm disappointed in you... Rich-ie is a clue!
