Can we still stay up?

Is he there today?

I think he’ll be at Villa next season. Big investment this summer and a great manager.

“Russ Martin! Russ Martin! “Ridicule is nothing to be scared of”

Players will warm to Russell Martin a lot more than they did with NJ. It was quite clear from Jones’ first mic’d-up training session that it was going to end in tears.

Good to see Rolf Bogli on the board of directors. A true statement of intent.

That’s Leeds down then. Would love to see Leicester beat Newcastle tomorrow but I can’t see it. Everton scrape through again.

Can this season just end please?

Most should go, really. They struggled against lower league sides, especially Grimsby, so I won’t shed any tears over any leaving.

We weren’t a newly relegated Championship team though.

I’ve watched a few of his interviews and training and he comes across really well. I’m backing him.

Mowbray???

Edozie has never recovered from his miss against Lincoln.

It would be so sweet if Newcastle slip out of the top four. If that happens, I see them sacking Howe before Christmas if they don’t make a similar start to this season.

I think it’ll be Marsch.

It makes sense if Wilcox is overseeing this process.

Build the team around him and Alcaraz next season (if both stay).

Ha.

Does he still think we’ve got a chance of staying up?

We’re f**ked.

Barring Alcaraz and Lavia, this has been our worst year for transfers in recent memory. Probably as far back as Redknapp’s first January signings. The comparisons between this season and 2005 are staggering.

Hampered at Saints for being at Saints.

Are you prepared to go down the rabbit hole?

We may as well get the silly season underway early. Feb 15 2022: Athletic’s Dan Sheldon publishes an article on Southampton medical checks, gels and team talks between 60th-70th minute - coincidence or plan? March 5 2022: Saints fall to an abysmal 4-0 away defeat to Aston Villa and record only one more win in the league for the rest of the season. We wouldn’t win again until Leicester away on August 20 this season. NOTE: We did register two wins in between the article’s publication and the Aston Villa capitulation. However, it’s interesting how fast it all fell apart so close to publication. Coincidence or something to it?

Yeah. Funny how most people on this thread don’t register the 2009 relegation for some reason. My fear is history repeating itself. The board hasn’t given us any reassurance we will be in a healthy position. Ankersen’s words at the fans’ forum worried me. It only takes the owner pulling the plug to leave us really in the proverbial.
