Guan 2.0

The only thing saints related to have have contained energy and effort this season (Boufal goal aside). :badger:

It is, and I do. I put it there to illustrate how empty the Club PR is compared to the actual club direction/performance.

Hi all. First off, for those who think this is mere impatience, I implore you look at our results and upcoming fixtures. We have failed to win against: Burnley, Brighton, Newcastle, Watford, Stoke, Huddersfield, Swansea, Oh, and Wolves. If we adopt a 'Wait and see' attitude for the next month, we would be relying on those same tactics and mentality against Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester Untied, and hoping we will get enough points to pull us away from our current position of 14th. So, in order to make known the level of dissatisfaction with the current staffing arrangements. I am going to continue the efforts to spread the view that #PellegrinoMustGo this Sunday, before our match with Everton. The club have already noticed the number of statements from fans making it into the traditional media and social network trends, and now they need the push that sustained coverage of #PellegrinoMustGo would give them. That impact can be made far more easily than usual tomorrow. We are the first game of the day, on a day of only 3 matches, with no 'big' or grudge fixtures serving as distraction. I'll be making sure to include the #SaintsFC and #southampton Hashtags in order to spread the word when people search for news about the club. and making sure to include programs that will be discussing SaintsFC tomorrow morning such as @BBCMOTD #MOTD2 @SundaySupp and @5liveSport @solentsport . I know that this may be a thorny issue for people who see doing this on matchday as 'disloyal', so when 13.30 hits, i'm fully behind the team. Lord know they could use it. But the fact is, Everton are probably the worst team in the league right now, and beating them would only serve to show us as the better team in the relegation fodder mini league. We haven't progressed since last season, or even the start of this season. To steal a quote: So I will be doing what i can tomorrow. I know Saints fans aren't some homogeneous mass in all aspects, and have their own views and motivations. So if people don't fancy it after reading this, I understand. But if you do want to join the effort, i'll be glad to have you. And remember, if 10 people tweeted their thoughts using the hashtag #Pe​llegrinoMustGo and then retweeted the 9 other posters views that had used the same hashtag, you would go from 10 tweets to a hundred in a matter of minutes. On Sunday morning that kind of traffic grows quickly, and gets noticed.

I can confirm this was 100% my idea and nothing to do with Les Reed. Indeed, as the man who signed off on both Puel and Pellegrino, you'd have to decide for yourself if Reed should stay given that Black, Watson, and the in some people's eyes the recruitment committee must go as well, and he had a hand in setting them up at the club. I simply used the Hashtag #PellegrinoMustGo (and will be again on Sunday morning for Sunday Supplement/MOTD2 Extra/5Live) is that anyone so inclined towards the view the manager must go can agree on that short, succinct statement. As soon as you start including other names and putting them forth as the views of all fans, you are making the mistake that the 'Mr Goa' letter writer did yesterday. K Billy and myself have had several animated conversations on this subject, I imagine we will have several more!

"Dear Mr Goa" It's not even the worst part of the letter. It's the first! Was there a vote on bringing Cortese back i missed? I don't think these ideas are a real goa.

If we suddenly look like Barca on steroids, obviously not. But the chances of that are slim!

Or Sunday after our match, tie it in the hashtag for SOUEVE. We actually had a better engagement rate (before 7.16pm) than Paul Hollywod, UCLLancet17 and Scottishcup. If Twitter went off of natural numbers instead of curating their top ten lists, we'd have been on. But if we include it with other SFC tweets on sunday, It goes Viral. Thanks to all that took part.

If Maurico has already gone by 4pm tomorrow then feel free to ignore this. Unless Saints fans make their views public, there will be no pressure felt from our direction. While I can't speak for the Gao's, I know the the previous regime were terrified of negative views making it into the traditional media or social network trends, and were relatively happy that the questions about the club were 'quarantined' on this site. As in the wider football community were perplexed that saints fans were unhappy with the displays under Puel. Of course, in order to have an impact, fans would have to decide upon a time and date where they would make their feelings known, and at a time when they would have a large audience hungry for content and 'drama'. Say 6pm on a Monday on twitter, when most people are logging on looking for a distraction after the first day back at work. It would not take much at that time to make twitters top ten trending list, which in turn would draw in more people to a catchy hashtag, say for instance #PellegrinoMustGo And if fans posted in concert between 6-7pm, there would be little that Southampton FC could do to hide the levels of dissatisfaction people have with the current staffing arrangements. Especially if specific names like Black, Watson were also included, and fans didn't resort to any kind of personal remarks (as saints would immediately spin it as online abuse and harassment by trolls). Also including the #SaintsFC and #southampton Hashtags would spread the word when people searched for news about the club. For an example of how quickly this could spread, if 10 people tweeted their thoughts using the hashtag #Pe​llegrinoMustGo Between 6and 7pm, and then retweeted the 9 other posters views that had used the same hashtag, you would go from 10 tweets to a hundred in a matter of minutes. If someone could bump this nearer the time that would be great, as i'm out of posts on here until after 7 tomorrow. Thanks!

No idea since the new regime came in sadly.

The International break would have been an opportunity to replace the manager. The summer would have been an opportunity to buy Begovic + A true centre forward. Instead we gave Forster a new contract and brought in MoPo.

If he makes a consistent run of good performances, then the case for change amongst our coaching staff will be strengthened.

Lol.

Boufal saves Forster, who needs to be dropped ASAP. That goal will live long in the memory.

I think the ISIS target market is Muslims in Progressive liberal countries such as the UK who can be convinced to kill 'Infidels' in return of the blessing of Allah. I mean, i could go back and double check if Sour Mash was the Suicide Bomber who murdered my friend along with 22 other men, women, and children in the Manchester bombing, but i'm pretty sure it wasn't him. If you want to criticise his reactions, fine. But i'm more concerned about the primary ISIS 'target market' than people's response to atrocities.

Simply dreadful. Nothing wrong with 1 up front if the two behind are fast and intuitive. But our 'style' of play doesn't enable it. Oh and great to see another example of #5MoreYearsOfForster

I'll be clapping at 2/3rds of my usual clapping speed, only only smiling with half my face, all the better to show my grudging approval lol #That'llLearn'Em

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-41066529 Good work once again by police both here and in Brussels. Hope the officers in question recover soon, and the damage isn't lasting.

Anybody who reads my post history will see my frustration with JWP in his early years in the first team, but I am so happy to see him mature into a player that provides a real impact. It's bizarre to harshly critique him now when he has progressed so much in the last year.

Virgil lost his accent very quickly.
