Do you really believe it’s that sinister, that the club told Longy to get out and blow smoke up our arse. It’s more a case of what else is he going to say. “ we need new signings because some of my mates are Shiite “. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Nicola Cortese wants to return to English footie
Lord Duckhunter replied to Delmary's topic in The Saints
Wow, he even scouted managers. How would we ever heard of Ronald Koeman without him. Amazing, he even found Pelle and got him to the club despite the fact he was playing for Koeman the previous season. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -
****, I missed the Brighton home game. The one where a late goal cost us a point. First home game I’ve missed for 2 years. “Games have been there to be won but instead a late goal cost them a point at home to Brighton and two against Arsenal” When writing an article about other people’s errors, it’s probably a good idea to get basic facts right.

Harrison Reed - Official: Signs for Fulham
Lord Duckhunter replied to washsaint's topic in The Saints
But even when the decision is shown to be technically wrong but close and they stick with umpires call, the pundits don’t start banging on “ that was hitting the wicket, there’s 3 ex pros up here that knew it was hitting the wicket, it’s a farce”, which is what Shearer was doing. They accept that in close calls, the decision stays with the umpires initial decision even if subsequent video shows it could have been wrong. You’d think the BBC would have got a ref in to brief their experts. ****enburg gave a perfect explanation on this weeks Times Podcast, and Graham Poll did so when discussing our handball on BT sport. Shearer and those clowns tonight were just factually incorrect by having a dig at the bloke watching the video. He was following protocol, they’re paid to research that protocol before spouting BS.

Spot on. The clowns in the studio are doing my ****ing head in about VAR. It is for clear and obvious errors, and for matters of fact, not subjective decisions. Cricket commentators understand umpires call, and if given not out, Hawkeye can show the ball hitting the stumps and it’s still not out. They don’t come out with “what a farce “, etc etc like shearer and the other numpties today. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -

**** me, are we going to have this every time there’s a decent cup performance by a lower league team. Bristol City, they’ll whip us, Wigan, they’ll whip us. Coventry, they’ll whip us. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -

Come on, that’s a bit harsh. It’s the greatest wave football has ever known. Players, managers and the board have all ridden it for nearly 4 years, despite hardly any of them being here when the wave started. Koeman, Mane, VvD, Toby, Bertrand, Cedric, Pelle, they all rode the ****ing Nicola wave. Calling it a wave is not doing it justice. A tsunami is more appropriate, The Cortese tsunami......

I don’t want to write the bloke off before he signs, but I’m going to because it gives me another opportunity to slag the board off. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If Sanchez goes to Man Utd, will it be pr lies or ineptitude from Man C? Jesus, who do people think we are Real Madrid? We’re so attractive that nobody could ever prefer another club, unless it’s “ineptitude “ from our board. Are other clubs supporters like this, god surely not. Some people don’t seem to understand that players, for various reasons , choose one club over another. In any transfer there’s probably at least 2 or 3 clubs interested in the player, who can then only sign for one. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Let’s have some serious managerial options
Lord Duckhunter replied to Pilchards's topic in The Saints
He inherited a team that were the 8th best in the league last season. If that's the Titanic I dread to think where you believe Saints are in the footballing hierarchy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Any new owner will be a hero if they deliver Newcastle 3 top 8 finishes , a cup final and 2 European campaigns in the next 4 years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Isn't sticking by your manager and not sacking him decisive? Or do you define decisive as doing what you want them to do. People keep banging on about dithering , but if we've decided the manger stays, end of. That maybe wrong, but it's not dithering. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Spot on. For some reason he gets a free pass on here. He was awful at the end of last season and he’s been awful this season. He doesn’t look interested, yet people on here won’t admit it just because they want to take yet another dig at the Manager. I bet there’s not a queue of English clubs wanting to take him off our hands. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I know it's not Saints but on the way back from Huddersfield we met a guy on the train that has a season ticket for them, and lives in Devon . He retired to Devon 3 years ago because his wife wanted to, but he would only do so if he could travel back to watch Town. He drives to Wakefield, where his son lives and then they both get train to game before doing the reverse journey home (never stays overnight) .Said he does minimum of one home game a month but sometimes more if there are decent fixtures.

Why hasn't he got a job in football since? If his demise was just pr bs from the club why's nobody else hired him. Even Peter Risdale got a job in football after Leeds. Why haven't money men looking to get into the game used him, why haven't any clubs wanting a dynamic proven winner at the helm employed him? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Absolutely, well successful. Especially in the cup. Managed to beat Mansfield over 2 legs before a home loss to Coventry in the league cup. Got unlucky in the FA after a tough draw home to Tranmere. Somehow against all the odds he managed to take them to a reply before losing 4-3 at their fortress. You can’t hold that against him, not many coaches come away from there with a win. His league positions confirmed what a genius he was, on target for a 10th place when he left, after guiding us to 15th the season before. His record since he left has confirmed what a great manager he is, particularly his work at Wolves which was the job he got instead of ours. As you say one of our most successful. Only Ted, Lawrie, Chris N, Bally, WGS, Poch, Ronald Koeman & Puel finished higher or went further in the cups. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Average premiership squad, that with a good manager would be top 10 but with a poor manager fighting relegation. We currently have a poor manager. Apart from the full backs every position has interchangeable average players. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Amazing isn’t it? Another club bid more money, and will pay him more, how did we let that happen. Why did we allow other clubs to bid for him, Les should have banned Everton from bidding for him him. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Comparing a Mickey Mouse competition to the league cup is laughable. We also didn’t finish 8th under Branfoot. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What a load of pony. “We target players doing badly” , complete rubbish. “ We gave the entire team new long contracts”, more rubbish. “ After their worst season to date”, again rubbish. Apart from FF, who else did we reward with a longer contract that didn’t deserve one? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
