Another reason could be is that we simply don’t have the funds to sack Pellegrino + assistants and replace them with a new manager and assistants. For all we know Gao might have taken the money we had in the bank to repay part of the loan he took out to buy the club.

Carragher could have just closed his car window and pretended they guy wasn’t there.

To me that doesn’t make sense. If we go down other clubs know we have to sell and the players value goes down. If we remain in the PL, we don’t have to sell and potential buyers have to pay more.

Our recruiting seems to be going the ‘West Ham’ way..

https://www.google.nl/amp/s/www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/5733222/mauricio-pellegrino-southampton-sack-relegation-survival/amp/ The Sun also reporting he’s going this summer..

Which option would you choose? 1: stay up and keep Pellegrino 2: go down and Pellegrino is sacked I have got to that point I don’t know which option would be best.

Didn’t we turn down Rudi Garcia and Manuel Pellegrini after Koeman left? Last summer I cannot remember if we were linked to any other managers, except that Tuchel turned us down. If we stay up and sack Pellegrino, the board have to spend significant to convince a decent manager to come over and manage us.

Wouldn’t mind one for Pellegrino..

Reed might give him a contract extension. Imagine this place if that happened

You wouldn’t want Olivier Bernard as LB? Line up would have to be: McCarthy Cerdric - Alderweireld - Hoedt - Bertrand - Lemina - Wanyama Boufal - Mane - Lallana - Austin - Managed by Pochettino

We could have picked up Pione Sisto for less then 5 million in the summer of 2016,both similar players. His name was mentioned on here several times before he went to Spain.

Yes, and currently assistant manager at Leicester. Probably the most biased commentary I have ever seen. If you have a moment during HT, have a look at the bbc live commentary feed and read what Appleton has to say.

Another mistake is our recruitment of players, the board seem to go the ‘West Ham way’ of buying players. All we seem to do is hunt for bargains on the continent and hope they turn out allright. Would like to see us look for raw talent in the lower leagues that suit the way we play (my preferred option would be 4-3-3).

It’s a possibility that the board don’t want us to be a club that hires and fires managers one after another (like Leeds and Watford). But wouldn’t the look even more stupid if we go down under Pellegrino, after finishing top 10 in our last 4 seasons?

I voted sack him, but could easily have been back him. The only reason I would back him is because I can’t think of a coach/manager that would want to step in at this point in the season. We should have relieved him from his duties back in December. All we can hope for now is that Pellegrino manages to keep us up and he gets the sack shortly after our last game. Then it’s time for a clear out and build a new team with a manager that actually improves players and has some kind of tactical knowledge.

Our (social)media department does well on Facebook.

Maybe O’Neil and Keane fancy having a go till the end of this season. If I am right Ireland aren’t going to the World Cup. Imagine the players putting in a performance like this afternoon and then having to go and face Roy Keane in the dressing room. Would like to see Peter Bosz or Louis van Gaal lift the players and make this squad a team again.

Unbeaten since Van Dijk left..

Remember that Stephens has scored more then some of our strikers. That said I do hope the next manager improves the players as there certainly is talent in the squad. Coyr go and win the game!

With all respect, but the board meeting wasn’t about sacking Pellegrino today or tomorrow. It wouldn’t make sense to let him do the press conference and sack him before the game. If he was to be given the boot it would be Sunday or Monday. Enough time for the caretaker/new manager to prepare for the next match.

We need someone who can Bosz the team and get the maximum out of players..

-------------- McCarthy -------------- Cedric ----- Stephens ----- Hoedt ---- Bertrand ---- Ward-Prowse ---- Lemina ----- Hojbjerg ---- Gabbiadini ----- Carrillo ------ Tadic If we cannot get through the WBA defence, or they are putting us under to much pressure. Switch to 4-2-3-1 with Lemina and Hojbjerg dropping deeper and Gabbiadini sitting behind Carrillo. Forgot to mention that we need a new manager to make that work.

Pellegrino was straight down the tunnel, could it have been win or bust for him from the board?
