It's really not incredibly surprising that the club would monitor message boards. Lowe did it and considering the importance this regime has placed on PR, I'd be more surprised if they weren't actively keeping tabs about what is being said about them online. I also know from a few years back that certain junior employees were given the task of monitoring message boards so it's naive to think it doesn't happen.

Whereas a first 11 containing Hoedt, Soares, Austin, lemina, Bertrand and Boufal should not be facing the prospect of sliding into the relegation zone this weekend.

I would suggest that they won't be able to avoid then if we slip into the relegation zone and go much longer without a win.

Not sure why you think that. Inheriting loads of money doesn't really make you intelligent or inclined to be erudite on social media. You only have to look at trump to see that.

So actually his purchase has had the opposite effect. I expect he isn't too happy about that.

Are they replacing them with chow mein?

Any family guy fans here?

Norwich currently showing more pace and directness in one attacking love than we have for most of the year...

He's probably meeting fans to finalise the wording for the five principles that are due to be released over thst period. Exciting stuff.

I think it highlights one of our main problems really well. Giant disconnect between what's actually happening with the first team in England and lots of people like the owners and the chairman swanning baout the place abroad building the brand and ignoring our on pitch performance.

Personally I'd rather buy celtic's best player than a reserve player from the French league even if it's a big team. I do think we have seen a shift in the calibre of player. I don't know if that's due to our finances being tighter or losing some of our best scouts.

Will be good for the championship next season.

We used to buy the best players from mid sized clubs and now for some reason we are buying the average players from the big clubs. In terms of potential I know what I would go with. I wonder what has changed.

The ineptitude is what got us into this position in the first place. The telegraph article essentially admits that being in danger of relegation meant that theo went elsewhere. That's primarily the fault of the club.

When you think in previous years we have made some really exciting signings with the likes of mane, Wanyama, alderweireld, vvd etc etc we have really seen a step backwards where we are signing reserve players.

I'd much rather have a quick fix manager than persist with a manager as poor as our current one.

I think maybe someone like Ralph believed that but if he does, it's most likely because he has barely been around the club this season as he's been doing international work abroad.

I'm here in the hope that they sack the manager.

I really hate how people talking about writing a player off because some posters give initial impressions of a signing. He could be fantastic for us or he could be a total flop but so far he only things we have to judge him on is his record for another team so it's perfectly fine to give your opinion on that. It isn't writing anyone off, it's an initial assessment that is subject to change based on how he does for saints. Of course some signings are more exciting than others.

We also had some incredibly easy fixtures and had some terrible performances (which is why I mentioned the bit about performances.)

Should have been concerned since about October time considering some of our awful performances.

No. We obviously wanted Walcott and we will definitely get at least one player in. As benji says though, it will make little difference under this manager.

I really do think this could be the game we have mass protests, particularly if we go a couple down before half time.

I mean ffs if that happens.

As soon as he isn't sacked after a game, people move onto the next one. Time for all of us to assume he won't be going anywhere.
