Take this season as a microcosm and Imagine if NC was still here - do people seriously think we'd still be in this state? Obviously not right? So then why is it accepted because its Reed / our current board? Because they deserve credit for things that were arguably another man's work anyway? We need a total clear out from the top.

Not looking good. A let off in that most of our rivals dropped points. But we need a dramatic upturn in form.

On the plus side, west ham are now losing 3-0 at home.

I'm not going to argue. Les Reed did not sign the promotion team. He did not appoint pardew either. In fact, he basically wasn't at the club for any of these key appointments. Following this, he did not appoint Adkins, he did not sack Adkins, and he did not hire Poch. He did hire Koeman. But then he royally messed that up anyway. He has directly overseen our fall from just off champions league to just off championship. He flat out needs to go. And not just him but the entire board.

Who first out of curiosity? There is a sliver lining to all of this. All our rivals are losing. And apparently 42% of the fanbase still support and give their full backing to Les Reed... maybe the rest of us are wrong and he'll pull a blinder this weekend.

He deserves sod all credit for most of that mate, he wasn't even here when we got taken over, when pardew was appointed, or when Fonte, Lambert, punchoen, hammond etc (i.e. the promotion team) were signed. He had zero to do with Adkins, and even less to do with poch. What he did do the second he got control was lie to the fans, flog our team, and immediately try to take credit for work that wasn't his, whilst blaming anything awkward on those before. You are just talking out your arse now ffs. The only single thing i'll tip my hat to is that he hired koeman. But then he fell out with him and ****ed up Toby's deal. So screw him anyway. Its okay though, because he paid £20m for carrillo

Do you reckon he'll lose money out of it? Or do you think he is already getting sweaty palms over all the player sales he can negotiate? Serious question FYI.

Les Reed and the entire board to go; Manager to follow. Literally any tom **** and harry could do a better job. From just missing champions league to relegation and the start of our journey down the leagues... all in less than 2 seasons. And still, fans are on here defending the board. GTFO.

Its impressive right? He's made a far bigger mess, from a far stronger starting position, and with supposedly less power. That is some achievement. Beyond me how you can even try to defend him. Sadly, fans that defend him (or this board) are part of the problem; they have been absolutely shocking and the fans need to voice a push for change. He literally has to go in order for us to make any progress. As do the current board. Unfortunately, that may take another trip to the bottom of the football league and administration. The only silver lining this season is that each loss hastens the day where this board and Les Reed **** off.

We're down. Les Reed out protests a must after this.

Mate, some of us have been... and for quite a few years. The warning signs were there the second he got control from NC, and the proceeded to blame his predecessor for everything that was bad, and take credit himself for everything that was good. That right there was the sign we had a piece of **** brown noser in charge, and one with literally zero skills or ideas of his own. Fast forward a couple of years, and he has overseen the almost complete wastage of the past 7 years hard work. He is a complete and utter failure who is in it for nothing but his own ego and pay packet. He is utter scum and will be viewed as far worse for us than Lowe in a few years time. Les Reed has not delivered us a stadium or a training ground, but will leave us in the lower divisions, and with the youth teams at the worst they have been in a decade. Lets not even start of the amount of lies he has told the fanbase.

... You do realise that it's the board and Les' fault right? Jesus our fans are shortsighted.

Les' poor recruitment, and lets not mention his asset selling for his sales bonuses.

Absolutely has to go. We have a very shortsighted fans that think sacking the manager (and leaving this man and his team in place) will fix our problems. Absolutely delusional. Les Reed is the club's cancer. He needs to go in the summer and a complete restructuring take place. If he is allowed to continue then his legacy will be taking saints from the strongest position and momentum they've had in a generation, and leave us languishing in the second or third tiers. The man is a balding failed **** who has zero pedigree in his career and has failed at the FA, Charlton, and now saints. Get rid asap. The fans need to protest him next game, and every game!! until he goes!

LES REED OUT.

Cortese got an incredible deal for oxlade. Its laughable to even try to criticise that deal. It was for a record amount for a 3rd tier player, and one with less than 6months football under his belt. Not only that, but it directly helped secure our promotion to the premier league. The Reedists on here, and also the cortese bashers, need to get their arguments straight.

Yes Glasgow, but to the long ball physical Luddites on here, Silva (with his tremendously bang average record and routine sackings) is the Messiah. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

You'd have shat the bed if we hired the Swansea manager yet some of us were calling for him in Pre-season. The absolute bottom line is that Reed and the board are responsible, and things will not improve until they are removed. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Slam dunk. A lot of short sighted fans think this lot are capable of achieving anything. Even if they sack the manager it will be the same old **** in a different suit.

5. each game hastens the day when the cancerous board and Les Reed surely have to go.

Simply has to go ASAP.

So, I had stoke down as a win. Which means we are now on course for 34 points from my original already pessimistic/conservative estimations (allowing for point at Burnley). I though 36 would be squeaky bum time. Now I am very worried!! Very hard to see where another win might come from

His manager is some hybrid mix between a rabid dog and a complete crack head. Not surprised training is more work there...

Not quite a Saints game... but the coldest I have ever been was watching the England U21's play Ireland at St Mary's. Bizarrely remember Milner standing out. Coldest I've been at a saints game was Poch's first game in charge. So not that cold
