Everton 2-2 now.

No, but if we get tonked 3-0 or worse than it could get nasty. Everton for sure if we don't turn up. Live on Sky too, so at least there will be media pressure.

Makes it all the more important we move on to a new manager ourselves quickly. Les Reed dithering could cost us dearly.

Surely we can beat Everton at home... surely...??? Chelsea go 1-0 up

The intention was a good one, but Mané improved significantly whilst here. Redmond has gone backwards IMO. He did play better than he has done yesterday. Suggests the coaching is the issue.

If the fans are vocal enough he'll do it I reckon. If we get stuffed at Liverpool, then the fans there need to make their feelings known.

Liverpool haven't come close to winning the league since he left. He'd be great for us. Of course he'd leave Celtic for us. They can't win the UCL, and he's already won everything else.

Says who? Utter tripe.

There's your answer

Mods - can we have a poll. It'd be interesting to see how many (and who) still want him in.

It really would be a repeat of the 04-05 season

Les Reed as caretaker manager?

If people want attacking football, why on earth would anyone want Allardyce???????

He's being lined up by ITV to go to the jungle according to The Mirror

You're more deluded than our manager

Burnley are 6th in the league, and we beat them at home last season...

So that's another season without the South Coast Derby

Get Targett in the team

If we follow the Les Reed pattern of only going for managers not at a club, then that leaves... Koeman - too many bridges burnt? Allardyce - goes against the 'Southampton Way' in every sense Adkins - would be the fans' choice, but hasn't exactly set the world alight since he left us. De Boer - No Laurent Blanc - possible option Luis Enrique - Would he? https://www.transfermarkt.com/trainer/verfuegbaretrainer/statistik

I wanted to give him a chance, I really did, and I'm not one for sacking managers, as I said for nearly all of last season, but we have gone backwards and players like Romeu are badly out of form.

The full quote is worse. All of it shows how deluded he is.

Everton and Bournemouth = must win games. Park the bus against Liverpool and Man City (!!!!!) and try and get a couple of points. We might actually play well at those teams, as our players will want to impress them. Bertrand and VVD especially.

Pellegrino - "We have quality and capacity to keep playing in this way" Completely clueless.

Agree. Adkins as a caretaker whilst Les Reed dithers would at least get the fans back on board, although I don't think he's the long term option. But anything is better than the current coaching setup.

The thing is, I can see Les Reed sacking him and dithering over a replacement. The very last thing we need is a caretaker in charge with these fixtures to come.
