The Board did not agree because of protests by a vocal minority. That the Board did not canvass the quiet majority, who would have welcomed Hoddle back with open arms, was one of the most ridiculous and inept pieces of management ever !

Stunned is an apt description. Add shocked, horrified and terrified. We virtually set a course for relegation and oblivion. Why was Sturrock appointed though ?

I am not sure about that. If he did, then he could have been mischief making. Oh dear, my OCD has started again.

Agreed. The question remains, why was he appointed at the last minute ? Glenn Hoddle was a'shoe in'. What happened ?

Well I would agree that Sturrock did not have the experience. Not so sure that the team were 'Big Time Charlies'. An experienced manager like Hoddle had more than enough credibility to manage the players and keep the dressing room. Something on both counts, Luggy failed to do.

Wrong !

has he mentioned how he was surprised to be called as manager after the last minute decision not to appoint Hoddle ? Has he mentioned the difficulty asserting his authority on the players who had wanted Hoddle back ? Has Luggy siad he was greatful to the vocal minority ?

Hopefully, just bad bruising and he will be OK to play for us when he gets back.

I would love it if they went down. The plastic fans will go into meltdown LOL !

I agree...

3 mins to go !

Heart thumping time !

ahh.......always when you are holding on to a goal lead !

OK, sweaty palms etc...gulp.

How long to go ?

Yep, that really is tempting fate.

Come on Saints, let's hold on !

I would be happy with a draw away from home.

Well, I rather like his comments. Livens things up a bit.

Slightly off topic. Does anyone know what has happened to Alpine Saint these days ?

3 points but a very worrying second half !

Agreed, but hat the hell happened at half time. Did Fonte get chinned again in the dressing room ?

Bmf corner

Thanks...just commenting on how I feel !

Bmf still going for it ! Come on Saints get a ****ing grip !
