Dark Munster

We keep hearing about the Charlton "debacle", "blip", "disaster", etc. But 1.24 points per game, while not earth-shattering, isn't that bad. Nowhere near the Wigley, Gray, Poortvliet, and Wotte level of incompetence!

But he averaged about 1.24 points per game, not that bad.

I wouldn't say no to Guus Hiddink. :cool:

Well that certainly ticks not one, but two, boxes! You mean, just like Ipswich under Burley were in their first season in the Prem?

Newsflash: Saints have just been bought by a billionaire! :smt033

Pearson P 13 W 3 D 7 L 3 = 16 points from 13 games = 1.23 points per game = 56-57 points per season (safe) Wotte P 18 W 4 D 7 L 7 = 19 points from 18 games = 1.06 points per game = 48-49 points per season (relegation) The rest of your post falls to pieces after these facts. If we were in the Premiership I'd agree, but we're in L1 on -10 points.

Err, because the previous Chairman who sacked him for purely egotistic purposes, has himself been sacked and replaced by a billionaire owner? :cool: Sorry, that's rubbish: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/untoldstories/4350665.What_Saints_managers_were_paid/

Only 3 defeats out of 13: yes, pretty awesome considering the shîte he inherited. We finished on 54 points, which in any normal year (e.g. this year) would be lower mid-table and 7-8 points above relegation. YES YES YES YES YES, his record with us was impressive (see above) and I cannot understand why people rate him so lowly. Spot on. Indeed: see http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/untoldstories/4350665.What_Saints_managers_were_paid/ Great post Darren W.

What other way was there? Fired more slowly? Gardening leave? :cool: ML only took over yesterday, so all they can say is "Sorry, we're letting you go, to look for a better manager. Thanks for holding the fort, here's one year's pay. Goodbye, and good luck in Egypt."

I agree WGS did that, but arguably the players became fit, strong, committed and determined under Pearson as well. Anyway, no thank you to Hoddle. Even if we ignore the fact that he's a complete wånker, he's incompetent in the transfer market, and has terrible man-management skills.

Good riddance. Crap manager. I think the ones here who are saying what a shame, he should've been given more time, etc., etc., are the ones who said the same thing about Gray and Wigley.

Latest rumour I heard is that Saints are to be taken over someone called Markus Leibherr. A Swiss/German billionaire apparently. Probably a load of böllocks, but I thought I'd pass it on.

As long as it's not a "revolutionary management set-up". :cool:

Once bitten, twice shy?

Paul Allen, an American entrepreneur who co-founded Microsoft, with a $10.5 billion wealth. :smt015

Exactly, I'm assuming this is Paul Allen II, or Mag Five II, or whatever other bullshît we've been fed over the last years. One good thing, this one won't drag on for 6 months.

So only 20 more to get rid of before the wage bill is finally manageable.

I've corrected the caption for you, GM. And why do I get that nagging suspicion that MM is somehow behind all of this?

Despair I can cope with; it's hope I can't stand. :cool:

Give us some photos, please.... :cool:

Weren't they "just crossing the T's and dotting the I's" three weeks ago? Presumably there are an incredible number of T's and I's.

mmmm..... humble pie

He would indeed if he was trying to take over Manure, Liverpool, Arse or Chelski. On the other hand, if Mother Theresa were alive and trying to take over Saints, the FA would try to find a way for her to fail the fit and proper person test.

Even Saggy chops?
