Mr X

firstly I'm not in any way saying that four or five games is enough of a fair chance for any manager it clearly isn't, but does anyone truly believe puel is the right manager for us? somehow the appointment just doesn't seem the right fit for us from the beginning, all the talk of next level, will puel ever be at the level of koeman or poch? (i know they had there own faults) Does anyone truly believe he can offer the passion & motivation to win the players over?

http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/14720698.Saints_end_record_breaking_summer_with_largest_Premier_League_profit/ reason to worry? who knows!

no two ways about it our manager could send a insomniac on 20 cans of red bull to sleep, god knows how the dressing room talks work! doesnt sow the slightest bit of energy or enthusiasm doesn't mean hes a bad manager though I guess

Agreed

Hello to mid table mediocrity (if we're lucky)

He's going to Spurs to join Wanyama, two Wantaways reunited!

We need to keep him at all costs hes shown signs that he can get back to his best, cant see him coming back if he goes & we are woefully short of quality strikers the rest are not good enough at their current fitness levels

Koeman the showman & Everton already had him on the radar, so he will go to a so called "bigger club" I would imagine http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3679741/Everton-talks-Utrecht-deal-France-21-striker-Sebastien-Haller.html

Although young I think VVD could be a captain! If he doesn't look for another club, looked mighty mighty ****ed off with puel

Let fonte go if he doesn't want to stay, he's been awful since he's had his head turned by united, been a great servant & played his part in the promotions but if they are willing to pay over the odds for an aging player way past his best why not let him go, with a replacement lined up first of course

Claude has explained it himself http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/14707222.Puel_explains_Saints_changes/#comments-anchor makes perfect sense

Really worried, yes it's only three games in & he should be given till Xmas which is a good fair chance but I've never seen the team exude such negative body language at such an early point in the season, if you went in the dressing room after the Sunderland game I'm sure no-one would be fighting for puels system & noone would feel he is the right motivator or leader needed! Like others have said this appointment just doesn't feel the right fit for saints, I think it's only going to go one way once the dressing room completely loses faith in him, I feel he is a decent manager in a French league where it's more suited to his style but not right for saints, the board must be seeing something different right?

I don't think he'll make Xmas he just doesn't seem the right fit for us & I don't think the players respect his diamond system

We looked no better than Sunderland.... Yes Sunderland were it not for their keepers mistake we would have lost three points at home

very very lucky our goal wasn't even hit well! keepers mistake

would be thankful for a draw now!

and puel wants to send jrod on loan! crazy he just needs a goal for confidence

united rattled him with their attempt to unsettle him

this is dire ive never seen a team play such dire football over the first three games

we really are bad depressingly so

Agreed austin has worked hard at least

do the players respect puel or his system? had they even heard of him before now?

yet it suits french football?

has puel even watched the premier league? if the diamond thing was a good idea why does no one employ it?
