More expensive

I'll bet anyone a £1 against pitch of shit we don't sign anyone over the age of 20, for more than £10m, or who will command an automatic starting place for the rest of the season. Just German or French youngsters to bring on, or not.

What four clubs are those, and what was the success at each?

The same old SR problem writ large today. Recruitment. The players they're finding are not good enough to start. We're weak at the back and toothless upfront. And SR appoint Spores who has knows nothing of the Championship and Still who is equally untried. Meanwhile Stoke City appoint a proven Championship manager who knows the championship and how to get a tune out of the dross he has to work with. As unattractive as Stoke were they will be top 6 come May.

Why is our recruitment so shit. You know and I know we're not going to sign anyone that will improve this team !

Amazing how quickly the emotions from last season return. 😔

Peter Reid. Only played a dozen games or so but i couldn't understand why he played any.

Simon Jordan on Talksport claimed Saudi Arabian billionaire Turki Alalshikh wants to buy a football club and is interested in Saints!!

For the record re: standard of French football. PSG by far the best and riches club in France have never won the Champions League, indeed only twice has a French club ever won any European Cup. It's a one club league with a couple of ok ish other clubs and then fodder. Think Scottish Prem. SO we're about to appoint Still on an 8th place with Lens and his interviews on various performance podcasts. Jeeez!!!!

He's got a good PR that's for sure. Facts are he has never played professional football. By his own admission he learnt football management on a computer game. His best achievement in football is 8th in a league the level of the Championship at best, but I agree he talks a good game. And BTW, is was born and brought up in Belgium to English parents, so your description of him as a young English manager doing well overseas is stretching it a bit.

All those saying how impressed they are with Still, can they expand on it a bit. It's a genuine question because I can't see anything at all exceptional. Taking Lens to 8th in he French league seems his highlight. Whoopee.

I'm not editing, it's worth keeping . 😁

The only reason Will Still is known by anyone is he was/is an unusually young manager, who never played football but learnt the skills of football managing on a computer game. That's an interesting story that makes good copy for the media. Had he been 10 years old and had a career of 500 games in a pro league before going into coaching nobody would be aware of his unremarkable managerial stats. I'm surprised our technical director is prepared to take this huge gamble.

1) It really isn't. I uses to regularly go and watch Bordeaux before they got dumped down 3 leagues, and the standard is no higher than Championship at best. 2) The more experience you have of any situation the less likely you are to fuck up.

Will Still ffs? NOOOOO We've had enough experimenting with the Welsh binman etc. Still has never played the game, has no experience of English football let alone the championship, learnt his trade by playing computer games, and just taken his team to 8th in a pretty poor league (PSG aside) Why is is even been considered is a fucking mystery.
