Oh go on, share anyway. We've got naff all else to talk about.

Neil Kinnock?

I don’t think it’s a slam dunk, but they utterly loathe him up there. Edited to add: the point I was getting at is that they have seen his methods firsthand and were vitriolic at the prospect of him coming back. They know as much about Gerrard or Carrick as we do, but they know about O’Neil far more than us.

If he did such a great job, why were Wolves fans so against him returning?

How far have we slipped that many on here seem content with Gary fucking O'Neil?! http://www.molineuxmix.co.uk/forum/index.php?threads/gon-yes-or-no.763990/ "He played some good attacking football with far better players, but his inability to organise the defence isn't going to change not to mention how poor we were set up at corners." "God no. O'Neil had this level of run with a side that also contained Lemina, Semedo, Ait-Nouri, Cunha and Sarabia amongst others. With a far weaker squad now we'll sink without trace" "He was sacked less than 12 months ago for a toxic situation with a better squad." etc. etc.

Can't say I've noticed Lallana on the bench. Is he there?

Don't worry! They'll only put in a storming performance for 10 mins or so. After the first defensive scare they'll revert to type and be utter gash for the rest of the match.

It's a powerful argument!

Doubt it.

Uwe Rösler!

Based on the title alone, he has already managed to diagnose our issue.

"Eckert is highly regarded by the club and is a contender in the search for a permanent successor" https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6739294/2025/11/02/will-still-southampton-parts-ways-championship/?source=emp_shared_article

Seemingly the only chap standing between us and Gary O'Neil 🤮

I could be mistaken, but didn't Fellows get joint top assists for the league last year? And Azaz 5th most?

I thought he was too so was a little surprised. Given he was happy to move to West Ham it makes sense that he'd not have any issues with coming to manage us.

Just saw an old interview in which he says Portsmouth and West Ham are his favourite former clubs. Imagine being relegated again by somebody from down the road in charge...

Appropriate that, like us, the midfield is missing

Certainly working well for us thus far 😉

We've made the perfect signings to walk League One next year. Glad to have done our business so early.

Lovely dummy by McCarthy tbf

One for the neutrals this. 3-3.

Plenty of breaking to do, then!

I’m predicting 3-3 today. One for the neutrals.

I don’t disagree, but presumably Russell had a fair amount of input last year in the absence of a DoF?

Quite literally!
