SuperSAINT

SSN: Les Reed on a 4 man shortlist for Technical Director of the FA.

Hate them when they are terrible... Hate them when they are brilliant & then leave! The life of a Saints fan is a painful journey.

Probably still waffling on about what sort of structure we want.

That wasn't deemed good enough at the time. History shows Claude in a much more favourable light.

Hughes was quite clued in during the Gao takeover. Good that the owner can't wait until we have a Technical Director in. Source: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/sport/paolo-sousa-in-line-to-replace-mark-hughes-as-southampton-manager-q5bbd0h86

Moyes & Carlos Carvalhal both did previously, I believe.

7-0 Smallbone hattrick.

6-0 Tyreke Johnson hattrick.

I'm sure it's happened more than I can remember, but it seems like it's been absolutely ages since a first team player played for the U23's.

If Monaco are having a big fire-sale, I'd take Michael Emenalo as Technical Director in a heartbeat.

I think DT mean't we should have him up front rather than coach

You've heard Ralph get interviewed? I can't imagine he does anything quickly.

Never happening. Lukaku hasn't scored for a million months and I bet he gets at least 2.

It's not what I'd do. It's what I think will happen.

Hoedt assist sweepstake?

I think a change will be made after losses to Utd & Spurs. A new man in place before Cardiff away.

If the Telegraph article from Sunday is to be believed, I'm not sure a narrow loss on penalties in the reserve team cup is enough to force a sacking.

I remember saying in the summer that after selling Tadic, Elyounoussi was going to have to hit the ground running. Yeah. About that.

JWP & Davis not even making the cup team...

1 league win at home all calendar year? Nah, we're good

Wouldn't surprise me to see a new boss in on a contract until the end of the season again. Seems to be the norm. I def agree with Adam Leitch on TSP saying that all these sackings will be adversely hitting our finances.

Agreed. Also don't really see us paying the cash to get him out of his contract. Think I'd rather see a Technical Director in place before any change is made.

It's interesting listening to the comments by Steve about Big Sam. I think it's a sign of how utterly desperate I am that I think he'd be the best choice to save us.
