That would be an awesome signing. Prob won't go past 10 goals in his first year in the Prem but after he's familiar with the league, who knows.... If we sign him for £7m, he'll be worth £30m two seasons down the line.

First time he's lost at home for a long, long time and already masterminded big home wins against teams a lot higher than them in the league. If you've got half a brain you'd look beyond one dodgy result. Still a quality manager.

Loads of nauseating "were the biggest/bestest club in the football league" on Twitter at the mo, likewise a lot of them going on about how they've won all four divisions. Considering their only a few years old, I didn't think that was possible?

Silva was spoken to last summer.

The better you play the more chance of winning. There's a correlation there

Sorry Blanc is up and down. As is Emery.

They're not always crap and that was a solid point for them. With everything he's had to contend with he's worked a minor miracle with the players at his disposal. We can't afford Emery and he's a bit up and down anyway. Second on my list is Roger Schmidt.

Marco Silva. A man who can work quickly and effectively, a man whose teams actually have an identity and a plan and the nearest thing we'll get to Poch-style football. Can get 'big-game' results and is still, bizarrely, criminally overlooked by some of the FotB weirdos on here. Knows how to blood youngsters, too. He'd fit almost seamlessly into the club. Anyway, whatever happens, he'll go on to manage a European superclub in the next few years. We should go all out to get him but I'm afraid Les won't want to admit he made a mistake.

"Sure" He's the least sure goalkeeper I've ever seen at Saints

He gets a lot of sh1t from people but tadic is one player with genuine class. Wouldn't blame him if he went, he'd genuinely excel at a top 6 club

Prediction for next 6 months May 2017 limping finish to 13th June 2017 Bertrand, van dijk, Soares not for sale July 2017 Bertrand, van dijk, Soares sold for 85m in total for offers that 'is a fair reflection of the players market value' and will enable us to reinvest and 'continue to progress and improve the squad' Aug 2017 Bigged up substandard replacements brought in for 50m Dec 2017 the 'Give Claude time and he'll get it right' fascinators have had their time as has Puel. Player status will look disinterested and the style of play still incredibly boring. Saints 18th in Prem, Puel leaves. Meh, guess we'll see. Can't see Saints getting better in time as many others predict

5/1 on hull is massively tempting tho

Too man our James

About 6 shots on target, 4 goals England's no 1 mate Not all his fault tho... such a soft underbelly. Need an Ndiaye, Gueye or Wanyama and have done all season. It'll at least protect our gk so he cdn get rave reviews again

Well according to them, they generate 6m per home game in revenue so another season or two and they'll be able to build their harbour pottydrone

Hull 2-0 been playing with 10 men Marco.........

Seemed to have been an absolute gent as well as an excellent coach and player. RIP Ugo

Thought Stephens has been excellent for a young un today

A new, positive, manager, new Gk and keep van dijk, Bertrand. If that happens, I'll have some hope for next year. We ain't that far off a good side but further than we've been in the last couple of years.

Wouldn't mind us taking a closer look at this lad

Isn't that Romeu's 10th booking?

Big Sam has never lost at SMS apparently.

Marco Silva, eh.

Hi guys, thanks for the recommendations - been a great watch! Slowly getting better been back at work for a week now but still think I should be sitting round watching these. Dunno if I mentioned it but I did watch One Night In Turin - didn't realise how savage our press was back then!

Why hasn't THAT picture been posted yet?
