The only way the club will get the message is if we stay away, it's really that simple. One game boycott, season ticket holders and non season ticket holders, or a walk out BEFORE half time so it can't be put down to a bad performance. If we b*tch and moan on here, or squinny on social media they can ignore it. The club is going down, going backwards and the board is too arrogant to care. They believe their own hype, they believe they're special, but resting on their laurels has seen them go backwards. The ones i feel the most for are the people's who's jobs depend on a bunch of millionaires pulling their fingers out.

Fit's almost identically to what i've heard many times, the players and the club like him, and unless absolutely forced to do it they're not going to get rid of him. Personally i'm resigned to relegation now, because the only way i see us getting rid is by losing the games in March, by which time it's too late.

Barely missed more than five home games a season since the mid/late 80s, season ticket since the late 90s and do about 15 aways a season and I’m seriously debating if I’m done with it. Weirdly going down might mean I’m actually more likely to renew, as I’ve realised it’s the premier league that I hate the most. The money in the top flight has ruined the game completely. It’s impossible to compete. Real supporters take a back seat to tourists, games are constantly moved for tv, atmospheres almost everywhere are diabolical, the media rub their hands with glee at anyone but the big six being torn apart, talk of winter breaks and players that are so disconnected from us and reality that I may as well just be watching a soap opera. Honestly what’s the point? If we stay up those things will only get worse, the top flight has stripped the soul from the game and I’m not sure I can be bothered with it anymore.

No one beats the woeful ineptitude of Lee Todd, a player who i think isn't just our worst left back, but probably the worst player i've ever seen wearing a Saints shirt. Also the only player i've ever seen another top flight footballer take pity on, away at Highbury, Henry had skinned him so many times and pretty much shown him up to be a park player, at one point after going by him again and shooting just wide he actually put his arm around him and seemed to apologise.

Wouldn't rule it out, from my understanding the engagement with their current digital provider is a long term one and tiered. First tier was the re-design and build of the website (that's obviously done), second was the booking system (that's mostly done), so could well be on a longer term roadmap. To be honest i'm not sure what the point of a phone app would be, integrated ticket payment through Apple/Android pay and push notifications for tickets being released maybe? But i can't really see any other benefits of doing it, and traditionally phone apps are extortionately expensive to make in comparison to their user base (would be upwards of £800k at a rough guess, maybe more).

My favourite Danny Fox moment was away at the skates, ball goes into the stands he runs over towards it with them doing their frothing at the mouth "SCUMMAH" routine, trying to look double hard and scary, Danny Fox jumps right into the stand, casually picks up the ball and steps out again, all the double hard skate bastards go quiet. Definitely gave me a chuckle that.

Yeah but Guan it's all made up isn't it and none of us can know because we weren't there right? Does make me laugh all the people on here that don't want to hear anything bad about the club/players because it doesn't fit their world view so dismiss this stuff as being "made up", even though anyone remotely close to the club keeps repeating it. And then you get the ones that level abuse at Fonte when he actually wasn't that bad other than a short period towards the end, and he did actually have the club at heart (and in my opinion he'd have been on his way to a management role right now and possibly even on the bench with Kelvin if he'd stayed).

If you're surprised at the stick the rat faced c*nt gets you don't know the whole story. The little bellend went on strike twice whilst at our club (once to move to Wolves but didn't get it) the other time to move to Liverpool. He signed a Liverpool shirt whilst still Saints captain (and knowing we didn't want him to leave) and said that he was hoping to play for them soon. He screamed down the phone at Les Reed about being "set free". He told the club that had helped him through his heart op and just given him a new, expensive contract that "he'd never play for them again". After all this when he finally got his move he took out a full page advert in the press which was a picture of himself and a line or two of absolute rubbish. Then once he left and got dogs ear abuse at games (wilting like a little flower during them) he went out of his way to talk about how we meant nothing to him and he was Bournemouth through and through. His ego was worse than both lovren and VVD and his actions behind the season absolutely appalling, and this was whilst he was club captain and had just one the players and fans player of the year. Fonte acted a ****, but he did actually love the club, he was just advised incredibly badly and has come to regret that. Lallana out of all them was by far and away the worst, and i can't think of many players we've ever had that acted worse than him to get a move.

Not even a competition, the little rat faced turncoat, toys out the pram, screaming at Les Reed down the phone, going on strike c*nt that is Lallana. Lovern is just funny and VVD a modern day pantomime victim (which fits them pretty well).

I hear the same line again and again, the players like him and the board like him. I'd normally be sceptical but i've heard so much it has to be true, players are absolutely bloody useless at keeping secrets and dissent and fallings out come out pretty damn quickly!

Nope cause i don't know myself! Worth adding that it sounds like the board still don't actually want to get rid of him, this is more of a last chance salon business

If we lose he's definitely gone, if we draw it'll be touch and go (depends on the manner of defeat) if he wins he'll be here till the end of the season (or the next crisis). Sounds like a successor has already been found if he does go.

Lose the next two and he’s gone. Anything else and he stays (that’s not itk just a guess) Ever since the original message I got about the club putting feelers out it’s gone very silent, and the club line is he’s our manager so I’m of the opinion that was just contingency management Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Right that personal terms have been agreed

Because he's right

knowing the person that shared this personally, i do.

Yup exactly what i've heard too, no idea where this Redmond crap has come from, by all accounts he's a good pro and liked in the dressing room. The only one's i've heard bad words against are Tadic, Bertrand and previously VVD. That plus Fonte acting the bell end to get his move. This place loves a scapegoat though and Redmond is the perfect fit for the usual bandwagon jumping. I find it pretty depressing how quickly a section of our support are to decide someone is a bad influence, the Puncheon stuff for example, when normally it's not true.

I want one of Coventry away, Millwall or Rochdale away, Wigan away or if Newport get through then them away. I think we'll get Leicester at home.

Theo wasn't a smokescreen we absolutely were in for him and probably would've signed him too if it hadn't been for our position in the league, in fact i'd hazard a guess it would've been done before the window opened. Also is Krueger still playing hide and seek? Because from those i know they still say that's total bullsh*t.

One of the best away atmosphere's i've been in, non stop noise from us lot the whole way through and absolute chaos when Long scored. Personally couldn't understand why anyone who could go didn't, how many semi finals do we actually get to?

Except for Who the f*ck is laughing now, just because it rubs it right back in their inbred f*cking faces

I was going f*cking mental in the away end, ended up rows down from where i started and with various wounds on my legs. Wouldn't change it for the world, one of the best goal celebrations i've ever been in and a cracking night on the p*ss until about 4am after.

Don't know for certain, just going by newspaper reports!

for a short period anyway

Looks like it's not being moved so i've booked train tickets, would advise this site if you're looking trainsplit.com as you can get some decent money off travel by using it (saved me ~£50)
