Strangely Brown

Clearly Cedric can't play without his bandages:D

Yep you'd have thought some on this forum have got all their coaching badges and also have vast experience of running a PL football club, I guess that is the Football Manager game culture for you!!

Please Saints announce Puel as Manager tonight.......

Anyone for Laurent Blanc as manager and Giggs as assistant manager? Just something someone mentioned to me as a possibility........and no they are not an ITK as far as I am aware!

FIFA should make the Russian FA take Blatter as Director of Football and Platini as Manager as a reward for giving them the World Cup in 2018 that will teach em:blush:

Arrogant ars* hats

Doh, now you've gone and said it!!

Fair point, it can't have much of a motivation for Sterling or Pellegrini. Hopefully Redmond will be given the right support to realise his full potential and maybe will replace Sterling in the international set up in a couple of years time!

Raheem Sterling??

Whilst it has been alleged that players have played to get the manager the sack (not at SFC to my knowledge although Branfoot might make a case on that one) do you think the shortlist might be shared with the senior players to gauge their views?

Pellegrini for me too however, the one thing I can't come to terms with is the fact given the playing resources he had at Citeh he only won the league once or am I just being picky?

I agree totally, I feel a meltdown coming on..

If Webby is to be believed I would go with "Unlucky Alf"

Let's keep the moral high ground and let him go but also say that any future communications will be via fax and that we are getting rid of ours.?

Slightly different circumstances but wasn't Dave Jones put on gardening leave whilst we appointed Hoddle?

Has anyone else noticed that when you speak to any scouser none of them actually live in Liverpool itself, they all claim to live in the Wirral that's how proud they are of their fair City!!! Anywho give RK's honesty rating, the only readers I suspect who will give his ramblings any consideration will be the Bluenoses so a bit of a niche read if you ask me

Oh wake up Maggie I think there's something I've got to say to you and it's as long as it isn't Saints then that's fine!

Chuffed to bits

Great result. Now can we stop all the bickering and name calling and get behind the team. Thank you

How very dare you!!

So at what point does the business asset actually reach its point of maximum return? If it was purely a business proposition, and it could well have been, then last year was probably it because to get higher in the PL with the possibility of Europe would have required a significant investment which perhaps was way beyond Cortese's remit or KL's desired wish. Just think how much has been spent at Chelsea, Man Utd and Man City to get them into a position of regular European football their owners it's is probably overtime at least £300m to £500m each and they will be lucky perhaps Man United apart, to see any sort of return that matches the investment made. So to think NC could have kept that plate spinning convincing the players that it was all in hand whilst asking KL to hand over the financial keys to her fortune was the House of Cards it was never going happen. The financial fair play rules were always likely to trip us up at some point and if Cortese really was the man with a plan, he's obviously not been able to convince all the supposed super rich investors he claims to have known of it or else he would have made a deal KL couldn't have refused in order to sweat the asset and gain more business value.

Totally agree Cortese built a dream on a house of cards however I cannot believe how naive this club has become and the board really needs to take a look at itself. It is going to take some rescuing from here that's for sure.

Claudia Cardinale........just saying!

And there we are, this thread proves the point already why another SISA reincarnation won't work
