There was a 4 month cross over.
Les joined us April 2010 after a stint as assistant manager on a voluntary basis at Bishop's Stortford in the Conference South. Pardew was sacked end of August.
Would be a great 6 months for Mark.
Comes in, keeps us up (with 2 wins) earns his £1m bonus + wages.
Takes job full times (reported £3.2m a year) and gets booted after a couple months walking away with £5-£8m
The good news is we can reuse the Ramirez and Boufal cliches and talk about Tadics missed penalties and the good old days when "everyone" wrote off Mane.
Be boring if we just signed someone premier league ready and suitable
Absolutely - a couple others have been with me past few years.
I take absolutely no pleasure in being right, just wish we could get rid of the virus Reed and move forward as a club again.
The good news: everyone now seems to realise Les is useless
Bad news: it's about 2-3 years too late
More bad news: he's still here and making more mess day by day.
More more bad news: we will not do anything about it
Summary: we are now ****ed
Might be worth waiting and seeing what Gunn is like under the Premier league lights.
We had some celebrating our summer transfers after a couple of friendlies.
Laws of averages says we are due a decent transfer but I'll wait and see before giving him thumbs up or down.
Oh I miss the good days when saying the club has no plan, no strategy meant you were a troll and clueless.
Can I play my "I told you so" card yet?
Could take a long time to fix this mess, first step is Les out, I blame him most for this mess.
A jellyfish has more backbone than your typical Saints fan.
Will be lots of nominating others to protest and sitting in silence wondering where it all went wrong.
If only someone had warned us hey
couple of Leslie's classics in this article.... Obviously before he became a mute (coward / snake)
