As I’ve said before SR have backed us and got everything right bar Jones. Maybe you’re right . * wishful thinking *. im a known SR luvvie but am incredulous about the Jones appointment.I get there’s some long term planning involved but don’t tell me relegation was factored in. I know quite a bit about Dragan Slovak. There were a lot of features and interviews with him last year. A short tempered but intelligent man, very political, will not take failure. Very famous in Serbia I cannot see him accepting failure at all. I reckon if you worked for him and fucked up you wouldn’t last very long.

How do we get to follow the forum ?

I don’t get it SR have backed us completely and Jones has been tracked for a while. They are intelligent guys and Dragan has backed us in a big way BUT I struggle to get the Jones appointment he doesn’t even seem to fit in with the rest of the forward planning.

The Table Tennis table incident is 100% true. He asked the players how playing TT would help their football dragged/ picked it up took it outside , smashed it up and set it on fire. I’ve seen managers at my jobs do a shock tactic vaguely similar to that but as a one off to stamp their authority ( it works ) but if you continually pull that stunt you eventually get written off as a wrong un. Tell you one of the stories. Manager was continually complaining about the state of the staff room. He went in and threw all the cups and beverages out. All the coats etc. that weren’t hung up were put in a large box and said if they weren’t claimed within a week he threw them out. Remarkably effective trouble was these were generally young workers not highly paid footballers.

Thank you for a grown up comment 👍🏻

Nathan took over the club with an appalling record. Clearly the players were confused and demoralised. SR promised and delivered big time. we’ve even had posters saying because we asked for a couple of hours to get the paperwork we are disorganised FFS. Whining because we kept the “ fans” waiting. if anyone listened to the interview with Rasmus and Semmens a month ago everything they said then has been fulfilled.

Don’t forget if we get any of these over the line. We have Mane time. The new players may have a nervy start. So the fans will boo him. Why did we buy him ? He’s rubbish we never heard of him. Sports Republic don’t know what they are doing.

Clickbait

I’m been with this forum and the previous incantation for years. I now going through the members and putting many on ignore. Some just moan whatever happens. I think “ supporting “ a team and then slag them down continually you must have some sort of psychological condition. Nick on The Ugly was saying it’s been bad for ages but getting worse. I mean all the clamour to get Ings back. I said at the time the dimwits just remember the goals but forget the amount of time he was injured.

Jason Wilcox who will be our new Director Of Football. Will be in charge of player recruitment next season. Just saying.

We’ve got more than 20m to spend. I said a while ago Dragan put extra in the transfer kitty. We are not going to announce we’ve got 30m with every club knowing we are desperate for a striker.

I still reckon we will get in two more before the window shuts. If we don’t I will have to rethink my attitude to Sports Republic. There that’s told them.

It was agreed. Plane on runway, another club ( I think it was Leeds ) came in late. Semmens was told to up the price. Leeds were also dawdling. Ruud van Nisteroy then said to Gakpo he’d be better staying. I guess assuming his price would go up after the World Cup. There was also shenanigans between Man United and Liverpool before he joined Liverpool. when he finally joined Liverpool. He struggled because of the poor quality of the team at the time. God knows what he would make of Southampton or Leeds. 🫣 in hindsight maybe Semmens was right. Gakpo seems a right prima donna.

Yes it was . We’d have had Gapko otherwise.

Can’t see Sports Republic bottling it. My opinion on them is if they get these 3 or 4 players in . On the long interview with Rasmus he said be patient a very exciting couple of weeks coming up for Saints fans. We shall see.

spot on.

In spirit if nothing else.

Sick of hearing about Ings. Thank fuck they taken him.

Pathetic isn’t it.

I agree the Gapko was a fuck up.

Because we can get better.

The only reason it seems to me some numb nuts want Ings back is because he is familiar. The same fools that booed Mane when he came here.

He’s desperate. In his prime he was amazing. But he had a lot of injury time and couldn’t wait to leave.

Who isn’t keen on Everton ?
