All credit to Saints, we look very comfortable.

True, but it would influence contract negotiations.

Compensation would depend on what's written into their contracts. The club could put them on gardening leave and continue to pay them for the remainder of their contracts, until they found other jobs. I understand this is what Spurs did for Redknapp. Apparently he's being paid £50k a week until the end of the season. Can't see him coming here then.

All I know about this situation is what I've read on here. I think it's disgraceful that a small company had to go to court to get Saints to pay a bill, and that Saints didn't even turn up. People could have lost their jobs and businesses, shameful.

He is acting purely out of self-interest, because he wants to start a black PFA. Not too obvious, I don't know why anyone gives him the time of day.

Squad rotation is ok for teams playing in Europe with big squads, but not us. Hopefully, we've stumbled on our best XI. They need to play together and gel as a team. You'll never achieve that by changing the team and formation every week.

I don't think Adkins would be sacked if we drew, but Hughes probably would.

Bit unfair on Lambert, he did set up the goal v Swansea.

I thought Mike Osman was ok when he did the half-times. The Alan Ball chant he started (I think we were playing Southend), after he died, was the closest I came to crying at a game. Mind you, he wasn't a patch on the Albion Band, can't we get them back?

Lots of trolling occurring tonight. Boring c*nts.

Don't mention it then. I've got my opinion, you've got yours.

Redknapp is a fantastic manager who did a fantastic job at Spurs. Would I want him here, no I wouldn't. I don't blame him for our relegation, in fact I don't think many others could have got us to the last day still with a chance of staying up. I don't even blame him for jacking it in. Lowe wouldn't give him the tools to do his job. He sold Crouch for millions, and gave Arry next to f*ck all to somehow get us back up. While in the background he appointed a Rugby coach and a Walter Mitty fantasist who couldn't even get into his cubs team onto his staff. Lowe didn't even respect his manager enough to call him by his Christian name, preferring to use his surname like some public school headmaster. But he went back to that shower of sh*t down the road, rubbing all of our noses in it on the way by saying he was going back to hs 'spiritual home'. I wouldn't blame Cortese for making a hard nosed business decision, and I would continue supporting my club, but it just wouldn't feel right.

From what I've seen of Ramirez, he is class. I would rather build a side around him. We wouldn't have swapped Le Tissier, would we?

If Boruc is match-fit and training well, Adkins has a difficult choice to make. If he's not, then stick with Gazza.

I can't see QPR parking the bus, like Swansea appeared to do yesterday (especially in the 2nd half). Might suit us a little better.

I agree, I hope it's not another false dawn. But at least we can go into the QPR game with a bit of confidence.

It was an improved performance (which is the least we could have expected). Cork made a difference, and Shaw played well. Ramirez showed at times what a great player he's going to be. As others have said though, it was against a very average Swansea. Next week is make or break for Nigel. Hopefully the team can build on that performance and get another manager sacked next week rather than ours.

I don't think Wigley was appointed under those circumstances.

I thought Cork was excellent yesterday. Shaw looked good as well, and I'm glad that someone has praised Fox for his contribution. The team, for the most part defended well. The team still need to get used to Ramirez, quite a few times he was ignored despite being in space. My optimism from yesterday is tempered by the fact that Swansea were poor. But, from admittedly a very low benchmark it was an improvement.

It's also something that Kelvin used to do a lot, putting his defenders under pressure with some daft passes. If in doubt, blast it forward and push your defence up.

I definitely agree that Adkins shouldn't be sacked unless we are able to appoint the right replacement.

True, appointing poor coaches out of their depth is never a good idea. Ball, Strachan and Hoddle were not out of their depth and were not inexperienced, the three you mention were.

We definitely looked more solid yesterday, but to be fair Swansea never really committed a lot of men forward. Very disappointed not to have beaten them.

Ball, Hoddle, Strachan. That is all.
