Bakovnetski

Who seriously said "no" to sacking him? Really? After that meltdown?

Bumped as may be more relevant. Gerardo Seoane maybe.

Just for clarity sake, the intention of this thread was not to debate the pros and cons of NJ at all, nor how long his tenure may be, but more a thought to who the collective may think would suit us when there is the next inevitable change in manager.

Some want NJ out, some are nostalgic for RH. Wrong time or right time, maybe some thoughts shared about who SR should have appointed or, more pertinent, who SR should appoint next?

https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/23294224.nathan-jones-provides-explanation-southampton-fc-back-five-failure/ NJ certainly convinced he is never wrong on his tactics and it's always the players that f*ck up. Not sure this will be a happy camp if the season continues in this direction.

They were pretty vociferous in their condemnation of Steve Bruce too.

Fastest player at Qatar World Cup....so a real Jonno Quick.

Cheese and onion Kettle brand?

Jones is no man manager. Anyone who berates his "staff" like he does in full earshot and view of the others will never build a team or get the best out of them and will only encourage the opposition. The quiet word when you can makes all the difference. Poor show.

And a striker from Aldershot

He wont be first chaource for sure

Martial diving in box and brushing past Bednarek...red card and pen

He does sound like the sort of strong player mentally and physically we need. Only hope he doesn't get into a race with Lyanco for a suspension for yellow cards or even a red.

Ruben Sells as caretaker

Rugen Selles as caretaker anyone?

I don't give a shit about the kit, just get us a team and a manager.

Dragon needs to sack the whole bloody lot of them.

Definitely a case for 5 at the back

Sorry....what success? and how many of our recent academy products have made it to the prem first team?

This

The switch to right wing back on Sunday was certainly a revelation...capped off with a quality assist on the break and a last ditch tackle. In a back 5 he's an option there not to be sniffed at.

Likely that wont be until next season at the earliest now so we need a credible replacement in January or promote Edozie or Tella.

The "when, not if" conundrum. As it seems like it is "when" then the Board needs to consider when a "when" is good or bad timing. It seems that about now there could be some promising candidates who fit the Saints profile and would take us on. But if we wait until the World Cup break these guys may have several other offers in front of them by then. Pulling the trigger now would have distinct benefits.
