Why would £25m be out of our price range? Bournemouth, Brighton, palace and Watford have all signed players for that sort of figure.

It’s not the amount. I’d rather play in front of 2,500 behind you then 28,000 whining, morning, groaning and ironically cheering.

“Tight wad Ashley” has spent £107m more than they’ve made from transfers in the last 5 years, in that t8me saints have made a profit.

It’s got nothing to do with being crap. We were crap in the 90s and for half of the 00s yet fans still went.

I’m surprised you’re surprised. You don’t it. On your computer games you don’t have to interact with real fans so it’s a concept you cannot grasp Mr Wrong

You need to remember the same poster has also described Calum chambers as the new Bobby Moore and jake Sinclair and josh sims as our greatest ever academy prospects.

Behave, he was good today against a very poor villa attack, but he’s still a long way to go before he’s even premier league standard. He was awful last week and singled out for criticism along with bednarek and hojbjerg by pundits.

Mr Wrong, over a period of many years you have proven yourself utterly clueless when it comes to understanding anything to do with football which doesn’t relate to a computer generated version of the game, especially when it comes to fan culture. So you stick to statistics and let those of us who know what we’re talking about discuss the real thing.

You live your life playing computer games so you don’t understand.

That was a great goal in terms of quality, brilliant pass, great run and finish in front a a quality saints end that day. Longs against Liverpool was something else though, only thing that comes close celebration wise was lamberts goal at st Mary’s in the fa cup and at frstton in the league v Pompey.

The difference is I haven’t complained about everything and anything for years, whoever the owners and management were. I’m sure Martin semmens, Toby Steele etc are decent people but they simply don’t have the experience to run a premier league football club and are completely out of touch with what a fan base like that of Southampton needs. Look at the saints voice ffs, all about promoting women, lgbt, what about actually telling the club what the 98% of other fans who are going to actually shift the needle want?

We could probably do with a completely new back four and central midfield. We’ve got a whole load of players who are exactly the same crap level in all those positions

Spot on. The club management seem to have complete forgotten we are a football club and are more interested in all the periphery stuff. We have all the match day experience nonsense, midweek smiling faces at training videos, endless virtue signalling, when we exist to be a football club and the better that is then everything else follows.

Some of the players didn't like him, but they didn't like Pellegrino, Hughes and now apparently they don't like Hassenhuttl. Kind of tells you what the issue is doesn't it.

Again that's not true is it. Against Liverpool we drew 2, won 2, drew away at Man City, beat Arsenal away in the cup and only lost to them in the league up there due to a very controversial injury time penalty. Then we lost 1-4 home to spurs, 4-2 away at Chelsea, 0-3 at home to Man City. So a mixed bag of results but hardly tells your story of a manager who sat his team up to play for 0-0s and was happy to accept a 1-0 loss.

maybe Kat was coming on to him, I picture her dancing seductively on stage whilst looking over the microphone into Ralphs eyes singing how she has given her heart to Hassenhuttl.

What have Leicester fans got to do with it? Many Everton fans wanted Koeman out but he's a hero on here. I agree with the first part of your post, the fans wanted attacking football and we managed to somehow get someone more defensive

No but the fans never took to him, he was up against it from the start. That happens but like you many people dismiss Puels as a terrible manager who played boring football but forget that the summer Puel joined he lost Mane and Pelle, our two highest scorers from the previous season, Wanyama, our best defensive midfielder and then had the behind the scenes issues of Fonte coming back from winning the European championship and causing problems. Then he had to play half the season without Van Dijk and Fonte and big chunk of it without Charlie Austin who was supposedly Pelles replacement. More or less the entire spine of Koemans team ripped out in 6 months. They also forget that at times we played some very good stuff and despite all this statistically led us to one of our best ever season in terms of league position and reaching a cup final.

From the very start people were slagging him off for his boring interviews. Loads of people said it.

And we could easily have put 3 or 4 past Liverpool in both cup games. Talking of the cup run did you think we set up to draw 0-0 in the final? Puel wasn’t the most attacking manager but he isn’t anything like the myths made out that he played for draws, it was boring football all season, it’s simply not true. We were dull at times but we were dull at times under koeman and pochetino too, both had far better players than Puel had. The fact is fans didn’t like him from day one because he wasn’t a particularly dynamic personality or the big name fans expected.

That’s absolute nonsense. A Myth perpetuated by the last few games when he set up defensively because he knew that in Stephens and yoshida he’s had the worst pair of centre backs in the league. We’re you in Milan when we should have won 4-0? Were you at Sunderland and Watford when we scored 4 goals away from home in back to back matches. Or when we won 3-0 at West Ham. The bunley home game we won 3-1 we had 34 shots at goal. Absolutely laughable the myth that Puel played for 0-0s every week. Yes Puel did set up defensively sometimes and sometimes it worked, in four games against Liverpool we won two and didn’t concede a goal. Sometimes it didn’t be’er Sheva for example. He changed the tactics for the opposition and he had to do it once he lost van dijk and fonte as what was left was dreadful, as has been proven time and again

He’s a right back

Puel was absolutely lambasted for being negative and setting the team up defensively. Now everyone can see why.

Football clubs are very different Charlie boy. People walk around in football shirts and even get the clubs crest tattooed on their bodies because they want to be part of something, its part of who we are. You don't see people walking around with Leyland tattoos that they got put in their bodies in the 70s do you. the key to customer satisfaction in football is your club representing your city, having an identity and a cause. We aren't going to win anything like 85 or so other clubs so what makes fans keep coming back? What is going to make the next generation want to be part of SFC? At the moment we don't have any identity whatsoever, we're not a club any more we are a business that's trying to squeeze every last drop of cash out of its fan base and offering nothing back.

Imagine it, genuinely not on of the saints squad I wouldnt fancy in a scrap. Little bunch of pussies. I reckon a few of them would cry if anyone put it on the, like all Lana did back in 2008
