  1. That is much too sensible for some on here
  2. Getting a decent manager maybe difficult at the moment so why no get in a temporary manager it is unrealistic we will get relegated with this squad
  3. I do not believe that most Saints fans are morons like you suggest He would be great but like most of the others suggest may not want to come here for some reason or another
  4. We are not going down

    When I started taking an interest Ted Bates was manager until 1974 when big Lawrie took over for about ten years when Chris Nichol took until 1991 Saw great foootballers great games and we had good managers Since the PL where money counts we have in general been pretty poor but have had many managers and continually sacking them has not helped either Our successful managers the three I mentioned plus Pardew and Koemann knew that having decent players was key to success

    Do you not think the club is spending enough on new layers I do but the players do not perfom well at St Mary's

    The most ridiculous Managerial appintment in the ;ast 70 years comes to an end Not sure if there are any decent managers available
  8. That is nine goals in 15 Wrexham appearances for Kieffer Moore. He may be 33, but the Wales striker is proving to be a shrewd acquisition as the Red Dragons look to find their feet in the Championship.
  9. Turner given a two year contract extension wish he had the attribute of Butch White who got loads of wickets
  10. The headline story I think is the unelectability of Reform as a government.
  11. Reform swaggered into Caerphilly, ready for a coronation. An unpleasant surprise lay in store thank god
  12. So only two of our new players in the starting team says a lot about our recruitment

    Why do you think Rohl was a candidate in 2025 when he was not given the job in 2023 I
  14. I do not want to see Saints in the PL apart from a few years about ten years ago we have been absolutely dreadful
  15. I agree but nobody like that is currently going to come to St Mary's at the moment you have to be realistic we are not a club on the up

    All successful managersv need successful strikers Man City are doing better now that Haaland Even Russell did OK when Adams and Armstrong were regularly scoring Still has little chance of success with our current strikers

    I think they have had over a dozen managers since 2020
  19. The club wants to make money on transfer deals I am not really sure it is driven by results on the pitch
  20. I have been watching and following the Saints fpr over sixty five years and have seen four promotions to the top Division and I just think it is unlikely that we will get promoted this season and if we did we would be awful in the PL I always hope that we will do well and at the moment hope we can finish a high as possible in the League this season and we will probably finished a great deal higher than we are now SR seem to want to buy young and inexperienced players who hopefully can be sold at a profit and the squad has hardly played together and has not gelled in anway I know they have bought a couple of relatively expensive Championship players but as yet they have not proved to have enhanced the team hopefully they will but we do not have a fully fit set of strikers to score the goals. We have a young manager with no experience of English Football in a very competive league. There do not seem to be any stand out players so he has been chopping and changing until recently. In the last week or so results have been better we drew with the league leaders beat Sheff Utd away and drew with an average Derby County I feel that SR have got us into a bad situation with their strategy recruitment of players and coaches which will have to live with especially as we have so little fire power with our strikers We could get another head coach and get a few better results but I just cannot see how SR are going to lead us to the PL where the standard is so much better than when we were relatively competetive there with teams like Bournemouth and Crystal Palace being really good,

    Can anybody really believe that Will Still will ever lead a competive Saints team in the PL
  22. Well it was at least we had a few decent players but apart from Macca there are not any We have a few adequate players but no where near enough to get us promoted but apart from Coventry and Leicester there are not many teams who I can say are possibly going to get promoted either Why Still was selected to be manager beggars belief
  23. According to the BBC If there is to be a winner, it's not looking likely to be Saints, they haven't mustered a shot on target in the second half.
  24. Half the points were won when Tilak was playing without him we would be relegated so he is my player of the season
  25. I agree with your sentiments but he probably has contract to play four day cricket with us
