I am slightly more positive we just need to get in better players who can regularly score goals which does not seem to be as easy as some on here think

What would you think he should do if they offered a significant increase in his wages

Thanks Donald

I think Trump must have hacked him and posted his usual rubbish

The club is in the position it is because it has players like Armstrong and Bazunu who are not PL standard and a large proportion of the the fanbase are demanding for the Club to be in the PL It is not going to happen for sometime we are just an average Championship club as our League position shows with no outstanding players I have seen over the years promotions where the teams had international players like Paine Chivers Melia Forsyth Ball Williams Boyer MacDougal Lambert Fonte Llanana plus very good other players I just cannot see how we are going to get to the PL and stay there with what we have now

One swallow does not make a summer and I remember vividly you making comment during the era you mention that we should enjoy the success as it would not last I have been following the Saints from around 1960 with the first thirty being great with decent managers and some great players but since the Premier League results have been poor and the standard of players generally worse than before the Premier League We can only be a decent club if we have wealthy owners who employ independent experienced football people to run the club

hopefully we will finish well and give it a go next season

Reed had a couple of good seasons but it was obvious that selling our best players was not going to lead to success Semmens did a good job but we were in terminal decline which has led to where we are now with a serious of poor managers no top class players from the Academy and average quality signings

Under Bates Mcmenemy and Nichol I had faith in the manager, style of play, most of the players and the board. Except for a few seasons I have had little faith with people like Lowe Reed Gao and SR running the club since the early 1990s The players since 1990 apart from a handful have been dire and the good ones in general wanted to leave as soon as they could

Neither do I but it has been same for the last 30 years

But he cannot get into the fucking team so why do you think he is not getting picked

One of the best Saints players over the last sixty years pretty underated in my opinion Him and Terry Paine got us to Div 1 in 1966 although he stopped scoring goals towards the end of the season but did score 30 or so that season RIP

I realise that any on here never saw Bobby Moore our 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m) play in the 1966 World Cup Final

Get in three new starters and I think you will be proved wrong as our bench looks particularly week

I think the recruitment has been ok recently but getting the elusive decent Centre Forward which we have been trying to recruit for so long would no doubt make us a far better team The full back situation needs to be improved although injuries have not helped there
