Saint Billy

Harry Winks will be praying he doesn't become the new Luke Shaw.

I can't see any of this being the magical fix to keep us up this season, hope I'm wrong.

Does that mean Mitchell is coming home?.

I remember that but never went. Didn't you play at St Mary's once?.

Have they managed to Chinese water torture Steve Walsh into joining yet?.

Well they are going to have to shift from that stance to get us out of our current predicament.

Both are getting on my nerves tbh.

How the hell that game is sold out defeats me unless the gooners suspect its a great opportunity to get their season back on track...... which it is.

Sorry but a fine manager with a poor squad would still put his players in their strongest positions, would drop underperforming players and get them to show some pride after a record breaking defeat.

Bolton?

Where is Dalek’s one liners when we need them?.

Words fail me.

I think even Sam would give a wide birth.

Tbh, if Ralph was sacked who the hell would want to take this shower on?.

Bob?

If there is little or no chance of a return why the hell did he buy the club?. Imo he thought he was purchasing a Jag and now realises he owns a Robin Reliant.

Self sustainability is all well and good if you have a squad good enough to achieve that, we don't!. Unless Gao is happy with relegation and seeing his investment lose value he will have to put his hands in his pockets. My take is that he thought he was buying into a club that had a history of nurturing young talent and making shed loads of money, unfortunately he overlooked the word ''had''. Now he owns a club overrun with mediocre players, no young prospects and discontent staff. I think the term he used '' The pig will not be fattened'' translated means. " I do not have a pot to p*ss in". With that being the case he needs to get out and sell the club to someone who does as investment is the only way of halting the downward spiral.

Yep in a nutshell. And added to that, transparency is worse than it has ever been at Sfc since he has taken over. All the signs are there that we are in for a rough ride whilst Gao owns the club.

It wasn't meaning financial hurt. Unless he is void of any senses it will hurt him to witness that the fanbase have turned against him, plus as mentioned, the negative publicity here and in China will shame him.

An empty stadium for a few games will hurt him but unfortunately it will hurt the team as well.

Don't you think we are rushing into this

And a sense of humour as well, I did chuckle I must admit

Notice, I haven't seen the game. Your insight and observations prove invaluable................ Always

I haven't seen the game so I will use Always synopsis to give me an indication

Are you behind Gao?.
