Bielsa with Selles perhaps.

I didnt love him at all, and had reservations from day one. Difference was I knew that we needed him to do well. Like JM we need it to work. BOTH are very uninspiring and the owners are not very good IMOeither

I have thought about this many times, I suspect they now dislike Saints and the fanbase pretty much. There were a section of fans who were at him from the first moment. Iam like it with JM but I will do my best to try and give him a little time. He grates me, but is he is our hope, I have to go with it

Welcome, obviously your writing style is similar to one of most treasured possessions who used to come on here. He is to Saints forum what Donald Trump is to realism

On my twitter feed it seems the majority of the younger fans are keen on him

I wonder why the club failed to give him no more than a 15 word send off? I know his tenure was not good but to be so blunt is a surprise

Hi honey bun, do you want some nylons or some gum. That's what my gran says what an American usually says

We can make excuses. I will end up getting behind him, but iam sure underwhelmed and have lost complete faith in the gang at the top. We are their chemistry set, and they are playing their games, not only trying to play a team with mainly 19-20 year olds, but taking risks on mangers, let alone not getting rid of Ralph sooner.

Or his training methods

I read /heard on here somewhere that Martin Semmens said there were others interested in buying Saints, who were prepared to spend a lot of money ( i know they have spent a lot now, not sure if it is added debt to the club though), but felt SR were a better fit!!! To me he has made a massive error

Not sure Hitler did a deal with anybody, did you mean like Chamberlain?

Why are you setting your sights so low, loser

So it seems Alien spacecraft if they ever arrive will be shot straight down, if the last few days have anything to go by! 'We come in peace' Boom To be fair if they have technology to travel millions of miles I doubt our air to air missiles will ever lock on

Im told the matelot derby went as expected. I assume all your lot had the your tongues so deep down each others throats, you didnt watch any football.

He wont unite the fanbase behind him, that's for sure. Strikes me he is the Manager version of Rasmus

Shame he didnt lamp that Newcastle player who waved him off, instead of breaking up a fight

Also Twitter has Alfie House, etc taking snippets out of his interviews to get clickbait. Fans in the main dont listen to the whole interview and the context the comments are made. It is thenew world but sure is pretty sad

"Thank you Southampton FC for all the memories and opportunities. Wishing you all the best, Saints." his message was probably the most heart warming and grateful Ive seen since Lovren went to Liverpool

As long as we go for a Johnny Foreigner we will be excited, nobody is any good unless they are

Good point CB. Not sure tht Leeds are shitty but they are poor. The first season the teams that are promoted have done pretty well and not straight back down..apart from Bournemouth. Its difficult to see who will go down, even Palace are a bit inconsistent, but may have got too many points early days to slip in it.

Lol, nice one. Have you morphed into CB Fry or are you him, very much his style of work I did mean season but you have pinned me lol

With us its all hit and miss the target lol I yearn that Big Paul becomes a massive cult here and bags a few goals early matches and the team starts to roll. If not it doesn't bear thinking about. The match thread will be its usual fun with 'The idiot shouldn't be in the team,' 'How didn't he pass that' 'How did he miss that' 'He should have saved that' 'All long ball stuff' this will be just in the kick about before the game

That is fair, I still go back to the case that he has until now, the same failing squad that were dire for the past year. It is quite amazing how we didnt go down last season! Personally we would take a jammywin, bad VAR decision or a massive fluke to get us on track a little. I sense there are a few fans who want to see us tonked so that they can hope NJ is sacked. I cant see that will happen, but if the team sheet comes out like last weeks then he is really in trouble

Im still here.....ohhhh

There will be a team of fans with pitchforks who will be hunting this guy down. lol Interesting, obviously a very cut down version of the clubs fortune
