Would imagine it’s fairly standard practice that managers who achieve promotion automatically trigger a contract extension / review.

Yes, it seems Dave the taxi driver and Barry from the pub were wrong. The good ship RM sails on towards the rocks.

He’s been increasingly fractious in recent weeks when pressed on tactics and results. The dynamic is changing in that respect and there’s no doubt he’s feeling the pressure.

It was like watching a cat playing with a mouse.

Depends what the alternative(s) were that SR were prepared to bring in.

Don’t be mean. They were very brave.

Away from home matched 2nd of the league, no?

Just waiting for the first SS reporter to ask Pep if he believes he still has the support of the owners and whether he should resign.

He's seemingly doing OK in a team lying 15th in the Championship hence my comment wrt our predicament in the PL. I've not seen him this season other than the 1-0 defeat to Sheffield Utd where he was far from stand out. Actually, I wouldn't have noticed him at all if it wasn't for the SFC connection. I know we like to think all our best players are at other clubs on loan or the result of a cheap sale but he's not one of them. But I do agree with you in that he needs a run in a team and that's what he's getting at SW.

And he’s not good enough. He’s not going to bring anything to the team, as poor as it is.

I would think that pretty much every PSV manager since the mid-70’s has had that type of win ratio to be fair.

I’m glad it wasn’t just me who was wondering where the clamour for RvN had come from.

Is Shane Long available on a short-term contract?

Is he not part of the committee that is responsible for incoming players?

There's a lot of scar tissue at OT

That is one horrifically weak team. He’s dug the Puel tombola machine out of the cupboard.

Not read the 13 pages so can someone kindly summarise who is the candidate to take up the hot seat? Answers not allowed to include: anyone / Doris the cleaner / Tuchel. Thanks

Managers don’t ’fall on their sword’. It doesn’t happen, not least because they’d be waving good bye to a pay off. It’s up to the club to act. Not the manager. The decision should be taken out of his hands.

In all fairness, not everyone spends every waking minute on Saintsweb

We could lose our 9-0 record

Because HB was asleep?

On the bench

Yep. Certainly are.

Out of interest, and balance, other examples?

The new arrivals will improve on today’s starting 11. That needs to be given a chance before any changes are even considered.
