I think Reading and Hull fans thought he did a decent job at their clubs. He came in as a very well respected coach to be Ralph’s assistant, Saints interim manager role was jumping straight in at the deep end. How he does with a championship parachute payment team in Sheffield United, will be a good gauge of his level. Unnecessary risk swapping Wilder out IMO but we will find out if it was a bad call soon.

At least the black trim on collar, sleeves and pin stripes makes black not a random colour. Black numbers on the original kit too. 100% agree looks better with full stripes on the back though.

Ignoring my issues with non striped backs, both our new kits are lovely. Also liking the leaked 3rd black kit. Overall a great set of kits for hopefully a season to remember!

Seen this on Twitter, shows the numbers.

Why not just have stripes fully on the back?

That’s interesting about when he left us, as it was initially an analyst role at Bayern. Worked out eventually for him being assistant to Flick at Bayern and Germany but maybe he was showing that other side to his personality even back then. Agree an ego isn’t necessarily a bad thing in this kind of role and many people also thought he was odds on for the job. He did a fantastic job at Wednesday and I’m sure he will go on to be a top flight manager in the future but I’m feeling happy with Saints choice of appointment as things stand.

I’m feeling more and more positive that going for Will Still instead of waiting round for Rohl (if that rumour was true) was the right call. I think Spors made the right choice at that moment in time and fingers crossed Will delivers success. After Juric left, Rohl was my preference but the way he’s acted this summer makes me glad he’s not our manager. Football Martin (Saints YouTuber) said a reliable source informed him that Rohl didn’t interview well and Still was the outstanding candidate from that process. I wonder if Rohl just wasn’t fully committed or if Still was just excellent at interview. Cannot blame Rohl for wanting out of Wednesday in their current situation, with a horrendous owner but he’s definitely shown a different side of his personality, which appears unprofessional to me.

Not a fan of ‘GARMIN’ being vertical not horizontal on the sleeve, looks a bid odd to me. Otherwise a decent brand and simple text logo is better than most sleeve sponsors.

No live updates according to Alfie:

Do we really need another CB?

Gillingham, Valciennes and Espanyol behind closed doors. Then Brighton at St Mary’s.
