I would like to see Emery (spelling) as a manager as he likes to play attacking and fast football. However we have had 2 poor seasons and narrowly missed relegation. Maybe keeping Hughes for 2 seasons to steady the ship and rebuild the squad won’t be a bad idea.

McCarthy player of the season. Boufal goal of the season.

We need changes on and of the pitch, since Koeman left we have been in decline and we should have a big summer if we want to avoid another poor season. Of the pitch: Invest in a new medical and strength and conditioning department. Bring in a new chairman who can motivate the backroom staff (like him or loath him but Cortese demanded the best from everyone within the club). Upgrade the acadamy and possibly bring in new coaches. Upgrade St Mary's. On the pitch: Try to sell/offload Forster, Boufal, Hoedt, Carrillo, Pied, Bertrand and Clasie Bring in a new (PL experienced) CB, RB, LB, striker, goalkeeper (back up) Stop buying reserve players from European clubs and go hunting for real talent in the Championship and L1. Clyne, Lambert, Cork, Rodriguez (pre injury) did well for us coming from the lower leagues.

Nothing more to add. Except that the only players I hope to see back next season are McCarthy and Yoshida, others can all leave..

I can’t take this, going to walk the dog to lower my blood pressure and hope we are still ahead when back.

Mane and Pelle together only cost around 1 million more then Carrillo. Just think of what we could have done with the 19 million we spent on Carrillo. We could have set up a state of the art sport science and medical department at the training ground and improved the players we already have. Not to start on the signings we could have made.

Lack of ITK posts

Pr!ck. Better say you hope Goa makes a Saints career ending decision for the board.

Carrillo has returned to the bench I see, last minute winner from him? Would have preferred Sims on the bench instead of him.

Sounds like our previous manager. Btw what has happened to Carillo?

Les should have left the summer Koeman left. He has been going rapedly downhill ever since. I remember reading articles in Dutch football magazines how well we were run and what great academy we have. From signing players who were top of the league they were playing in (Wanyama, Van Dijk, Mane) to reserve players from foreign clubs (Carillo, Lemina, Hojbjerg). The scouting of players and managers has been the reason we are where we are now.

A little off topic, but if we remain in the PL should we try and get Unai Emery from PSG? He is likely to leave at the end of the season and Spanish papers are linking him to Real Sociedad, the current number 14 of the La Liga. Sure we could match their offer and give him the funds to build a strong team.

In 2003 we finished 8th and got to the final of the FA Cup. Midway through the 2003-2004 our manager (Strachan) left and we replaced him with a lesser candidate (Sturrock), whilst we were in a good position and could attract a good manager. The players decided they didnt like the new manager, the board sacked him and we ended having a chaotic season with manager changes ending in relegation. In 2016 we finished 6th and qualified for the Europa League. Our manager (Koeman) left and we replaced him with a lesser candidate (Puel), whilst we were in a good position and could attract a good manager. The players decided at the end of the season they didnt like the new manager, the board sacked him and we ended having a poor season with a poor manager ending in ??????.

Employing Lambert as a youth coach I would say yes. Good example for the players that hard works pays of and Lambert rarely got in to trouble on and off the pitch.

Wanyama Van Dijk Pelle (difficult choice between him and Mane).

Peter Bosz please Les. Plays attacking football, good in developing young players and has managed big clubs. Downside to Bosz is he can be very stubborn.

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..

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.
