Agree - the poison killing this club is SR. Time to cut the head off the snake.

If we really can't get anyone better than Russ we are completely screwed.

Pretty good as a rule.

SR led by chief snake-oil salesman Rasmus is one of the worst things to happen to this football club. Not one of them has demonstrated that they have the first idea about running a football club. Until the lot of them are gone this shit-show will continue. RM shares much of the blame but the real charlatans responsible for the demise of Southampton FC are those hiding behind the banner of Sports Republic. Semmens made a huge mistake in deciding to let them get their grubby hands on the club we love.

This guy couldn't coach a decent defence if he was given the Arsenal 'invincibles' back four in their prime.

How about a fresh manager?

Could be talking about himself here for every game this season.

In case it escapes you Lallana is not a headless chicken type of player who goes chasing down lost causes - he's more your classy player with skill and vision who makes himself available, keeps the ball ticking over, rarely wastes a pass and brings his team mates into the game. Obviously he can't now do it for 90 minutes but today he should have been brought on and he'd have certainly introduced some calm, leadership and much needed advice for those that were the headless chickens,

Yeah cos he hasn't looked our best player every time he's set foot on the pitch has he.

Dragan's Den 🙂

I get that.

Agree.

You my not agree but Southampton FC has a proud history having spent many seasons in the top league which is an achievement for a relatively small club. We have never had the riches that might have enabled us to win trophies but, in our way, we've done very well. To me that makes us a great club and I'm angry that we are now being run by amateurs.

I judge as I see and hear - from listening to RM regularly my impression is that this remark was his way of saying we need to get used to it because he's going nowhere soon. It's a little smug dig at those who dare to question or criticise him. He annoys me as you describe it because he along with SR are ruining our great football club and turning us into an embarrassment. If that is ok with you then that's your choice but I'll continue to call out this farce.

Can anyone explain why SR have decided they want us to play this style of football - other than the obvious that they have zero clue what they are doing. Let's face it there is not a snowball in hells chance of it working in the Premier League which is where we want to be. There are reasons no other team is stupid enough to try it but Semmens decided to flog our great club to these imbeciles and we have to suffer the consequences as they embarrass and destroy Southampton FC with their ridiculous vanity project. It's a long road back and the first step will not be taken until Rasmus and his motley crew of grifters are out of our club.

This is his way of rubbing our noses in it - smugness at its worst.

Well if he brings on Charlie Taylor a reliable recognised left back instead of trying to be smart by bringing on a winger then Fraser would not have received the red card. He needs to take ownership of his ludicrous decision making instead of making wafer thin excuses that fool nobody.

Yeah, announcing that SR will be sticking with RM

Problem is the whole lot need replacing - does anyone seriously think SR have the remotest idea how to run a football club judging them on what we've seen so far - they are as out of their depth as RM.

This is our problem - we are run by people who have no clue. Best we can hope for is that Dragan gets bored and decides to sell and we are bought and someone competent is paid a lot of money to run the club properly - these SR guys are a bunch of clowns.

Not a chance - this guy has already reached the pinnacle of his managerial career - he's a snake-oil salesman.

Probably because most of us realise SR will not be sacking RM anytime soon.

Yeah, he seems to like to bully Alfie House - hope some jouno put him on the spot and asked him to explain his choice of subs.

If we are unfit that alone should be a sackable offence because there is absolutely no excuse for us not being on a par with the fittest team in the Premier League.

Maybe rather than giving players and himself time off during the international break some of that precious time could have been better spent practicing defending corners in the last minute of a game. Inexcusable to do the same again as the Ipswich game. He should go but we know he won't.
