This season represents the worst on- and off- field management in my lifetime, if not the clubs history. Les Reed is the chief architect and I will be shocked if he is still here at the beginning of June

I intend to keep my grandkids away from English football altogether. I’ll get them into ice-hockey or something Alpine

He's clearly saving himself for Russia. And his big money move thereafter.

I think some of you infer ML's intentions were purely financial gain when he bought us (as if any of you know) in order to somehow excuse the fact KL sold us down the river for maximum gain to someone who is totally unsuited. Exactly how much effort has Gao made to connect with the club and its fan base ? Almost NOTHING. There is something else behind his purchase which we find out sometime in the near future. If MLs intentions were purely financial gain, why did he indulge Cortese so much ? To suggest he didnt know what NC was spending or intended to spend, and that the top-4 statements of intent were nonsense, is utter b*ll*cks. For what its worth, I think if ML had not passed away, we would have played Champions League by now and wouldnt be staring down a gun barrel. Even from the rareified atmosphere of Austria, I could tell there was a real energy and dynamism around the club with them two at the helm.

I agree. I think she did the bare minimum to put a tick in the box of here fathers dream (and I do think we werent just a money-making venture for him) She also appointed that idiot Krueger.

Out : Tadic, Boufal, Redmond, Soares, Bertrand Not sure : Lemina, Gabbi, Long

Well if he is, I hope he comes back to haunt his daughter.

Its time to consign Tadic, Boufal and Redmond to the SFC history book. Sims definitiely needs to be convinced he has a role next season in the Championship, or we'll lose him. I would also play Yoshi before Stephens. Next summer, get what we can for our "superstars" and rebuild, from the back, just like Pardew did. I particularly dont want to see those three AMs in the 2018/2019 Saints kit.

Compare to this rabble, I agree. He fired Wigley earlier and tried to turn it around

Even worse because Lowe did the same thing, with the same outcome

How many times have I said we should have bought Arnautovic ?

Looked at the second link. At the time the ball was played, he was well behind Buchan.

We know hes quality, but I think hes not been managed correctly. We should play him in his best position if possible and stomp out his diving.

Apparently its been heavily oversubscribed. If we stay up, I guess we will be prioritised along with Manyoo as having a high enough profile and the necessary infrastructure.

We had this for our 125th Anniversary.

I'd get rid of Boufal (he's another Gashton) and put Tadic on probation.

Koeman worked for us and not Everton, just like WGS worked for us and not Coventry and Saggy-Chops worked for the blue slime down the M27 and not us. Which is why I am currently optimistic about Sparky. I think clubs and managers click, or they dont, and past history dont matter.

:lol: Perhaps we dodged a (second) bullet there.

Anyone watching how Promes is doing against England tonight ??

He's an improvement on Forster.

I beleive that money has probably gone to service Gao's credit. Any anyway, MoPe needs paying off.

How do you now its a space-filler, cretin ?

I guess he knew what he was letting himself in for. Austin with his injury track record was already here, and I expect he knew about Redmond already (cant be bothered checking timings of his and Redmond's arrival)

OK, then who in your opinion will be sold to deliver the profit if we get him in ?
