Can't she tap him up on Facebook (if a page exists for ex-pupils) ?

What is ?

Think he’s come across well in the interviews I’ve seen, better than most of those seen whilst he was at Luton, possibly being more relaxed with the deal done. Can see why he fits the model SR are trying to build. Critical though is getting the players on board, and he’s got the WC break to do that. But he appears a good communicator which is a great start. Whilst I’d have been happier with more experience at her helm, I’m cautiously optimistic. But no matter how good the potential is, his first half season will largely be defined by recruitment in January.

Agree with you, but it would take a shift of emphasis in our recruitment dept. Perhaps looking down the barrel of relegation might focus the minds. January does present difficultly, as does our league position in convincing the calibre of player needed to join the “project”.

Age 28. Agree he looks like something we need, but at that age doesn’t satisfy one of the “metrics” we use (in current parlance). Unless there’s been a change in the clubs signing policy I think we can rule that one out. Traore mentioned in an earlier post, age 21, is more in keeping with Saints strategy. Personally I’d like to see us relax the age targets but that remains to be seen.

Good piece, thanks for sharing it. I can vouch for what he says about other fans though, having already a Reading , and Forest fan giving me their unfavourable views having seen him on the touchline. Forest fan thinks we'll be nailed on for the drop, so hope NJ disappoints him on that. Best not to mention the Stoke fan's opinion though.

Madness if true.

Bit of a relic, as a 1970's classic.

Or McCarthy ... Should have put Willi on for the penalties

Think it has been asked before, but who were the strikers ? Gakpo may be one, but the other ? Broja has been mentioned but I thought the latest theory was that Tuchel vetoed it.

erring towards unsure, but gut reaction remains no, not experienced at this level, and doesn't give the lift we need. Can't help feeling this has a feeling of 'Branfoot meets Sturrock'.

Surprised if it's his selection of manager.

Stating the obvious, it was in L1.

They' play in the EPL, they are all big name players in their own heads.

Who is making the decisions here now then, Rasmus or Semmens ?

Comment from a Stoke fan - is that he couldn't cope with the pressure and "bigger name" players whilst there.

Where is the ambition with CEO making statements about our league position ? Recruitment has failed to deliver. Off the field it's become a farce with the ease away support gain entry to home areas, and yesterday it's reported that a Stewards watched a Saints fan getting a thumping. All in all, seems a bit of a fiasco and no direction or leadership.

A chance for SR to make an impression and show they mean business. But no, we've gone from Ralphampton to Semmenshampton .. await the marketing strapline ... We are Semmenhampton , the league position doesn't matter, we have no ambition and are proud to be shit in everything we do...

Have to wonder why Villa, Wolves, Brighton, weren't beating a path to his door.

Think sacking Adkins for some unknown bloke who didn't speak English was pretty heated to be honest.

Hardly. Potter had been successful in European football and had been talked about as an up and coming manager for a couple of seasons.

Should be going alal out for it, and progress in the cup. Agree opportunity for some of ours to remind themselves where the goal is. Probably shot of confidence, and Wednesday will fancy it (expect Alvechurch would fancy playing our lot at the moment though). Anyway, who cares ? Results don't matter according to the CEO.

SR are showing a degree of ineptitude that we thought had left the building with Gao, Les and Ross. We had high hopes with Ankersen's involvement but I'm wondering if he was the show pony who just did the talking whilst others did the work and ran the business at Brentford.

A sub-Dell sized mentality I think.

Has as much experience of managing a Premier League team.
