Conversely you are perfectly at home.

I think you need to re-read what I put. If we sell, and fail to strengthen (again), then he has failed at his job (again). Why should he get to outlast the managers he lets down? Les' track record isn't very impressive tbh. He lost the best manager in the league with Poch, got very lucky with (and then fell out with) Koeman. And since then has signed very underwhelming players to replace star players. My view is that if he refuses to alter his tactics/approach, and fails again, then something is seriously wrong and his position should be reviewed. I didn't call for him to be sacked atm, i said he has the summer to show what he is worth. And it will be the fans that make it clear, there are already widespread mutterings about Les Reed after this season. Imagine if he performs the same failed tricks this summer and next year. Also, where do you see me saying I expect VVD to stay at Saints... Please read. Its nothing to do with VVD. Its about our ability to improve. Our best players of recent seasons have been Mane, VVD, Tadic and Toby. All Koeman signings.

The problem you have here AR-10, is that the actual ITK's on this forum are saying he will be sold, and he will be sold to Liverpool. I think you've just destroyed all (any of) your credibility.

Any word on this? Can we assume its fallen through? And does that leave us in limbo?

I think if we sell VVD and don't manage to get near the top 6 again next season, both in games and in the league. Then frankly, Les Reed's position should be in serious jeopardy. Its not acceptable to strip the first team of star players and fan favourites every year purely to make dosh and weaken the team. And if he does it again, and fails again, it won't be the manager getting booed at every home game..

Interesting point. But VVD hasn't asked to leave? And by all accounts seems happy enough to give us another year? Is it possible that he is standing up for the club, and has reported Liverpool contacting him illegally? Because if he has done that, they are actually going to be in trouble if the player has stitched them up. Would love it if that is what has happened anyway Just read SKD's post, is he in the know? If so then

Dont crush my dreams man, I've just got used to the idea of us signing a goalscoring midfielder who can not only shoot from outside the box, but also find the corners!! Also, you what mate, bottom 3 material?!?!?! You know that Fulham kid is one of the hottest prospects in england right now!!

Yeah, Cairney is a great little player. This is exaclty the shizzle we've been missing from Midfield. Goals!!! Obligatory Youtube Video: SKIP TO 30 SECONDS ** In fact I would be well happy if we signed him And also, since Fulham raided our academy staff when we went down... We really should get this lad, especially if Bertrand is leaving... Seems only just!!

Honestly, he has bang average touch, no real skills and looks more of a JJ Shelvey. Nothing wrong with that, but we have Romeu, JWP, PEH, Clasie, Davis who can all do elements of what this guy does... but better. we do no need another midfielder like this.

no it won't... its less... They offer him a handshake and he's gone.

all accounts i presume?

3 of the best players in that squad are 100% ours. Stephens, JWP and Redmond. A nod to Pickford and Holding as well.

So this is more of a, "les reed out" post, than a, "Puel out post"?

I have to say, this is by far the most pathetic post of the season.

Redmond and boufal are going to be class players. Boufal in particular has the best control I've seen at saints in many a year; he just needs to get a run of games and should clearly be ahead of tadic in the line up. PEH also has great potential and just needs games. Really do not get our fans, but perhaps being written off early is good in the long run... Just look at the numpties who wrote off Morgan and mane.

You've just had a go at May for cutting police numbers by x thousands. Then when the stats prove you to be a layer you come out with this horse crap. Which is bad enough. But then add to that the fact you are trying to score political points for the left on the back of terror attack in which people have died. It's a poor mate. I just hope those that were injured pull through, my sympathies to the loved ones of all involved and my praise goes to the police, SAS, and emergency services for a job well done.

Something i've noticed about Les Reed. When he makes a statement - something we won't like is about to happen. When we all know something is going on in the background and he doesn't make a statement - Something we will like is going to happen.

Hilarious. Complete owning of the Glasgow.

That is amazing. Dortmund have got a problem if the players are that arrogant. Manager wins the cup, and players come out and say they know better than him.

That home isn't quite right. Think the logo should not be so red. Still nice, but could have been better still. Really like the away!

Think we have dodged a bullet here.

I just can't keep up with you all We need a definitive breakdown

Hard to achieve the equivalent of a 67% (ish) win rate with a "lost" dressing room. Let alone a cup run and final win. Not sure I'd buy that.

We'll have to wait until after he's signed for that gem to happen

So its Touchel or Emery then Eric?
