With the demise of Southampton FC and the threat of relegation how could we of done things differently and what are the mistakes? I will start with my thoughts on what I think is wrong with Southampton FC and the stupid decisions the board have made. 1) Hiring Pellegrino a manager who is tactically inept, lacking in authority and essentially is a rabbit caught in the headlights. 2) New owner keeping our fans in the dark about matters i.e what are intentions where is he going to take our club? 3) Continued sales of star players and being replaced with players of lesser quality to save money. Giving fans false hopes (Promes) and essentially mugging them off. 4) No replacing Van D, Mane, Pelle properly look at our back line Stephens and Hoedt come on now......... 5) Stupid tactical decisions, squad decisions and line ups. The inability to tactically switch things up when we are losing players appearing to be demotivated...... 6) No proper youth options coming through the squad where is Sims? Hesketh?

Fans need to down tools then and stop attending games....... Moaning on a forum isn't going to spring the board into action hit them in pockets and stop attending matches....

Bring on relegation, clear out the board, the egos in the squad and the clown of a manager........ Field a young passionate squad get a young passionate English manager and have a asset sale...... Use the money to strengthen in key areas that will give us a good chance of bouncing back up to the Premiership. I have pretty much lost interest in Premier league football anyways lets be realistic here to much money in that league full of big clubs mopping up talent......

Why buy Carrillo because he is unproven in the prem isn't that great....... If we had any ambition should of just laid down £35 million for a top striker......

He won't be going anywhere he is key to the mass asset strip that wil! happen. So far board have pocketed Van D money have the fans some bull about Promes. Next comes relegation Most first team sold Gao gets investment back Les gets Liverpool bonus for giving them boufal...... Les retires Job done......

I play 5 aside football every weekend One of blokes who went told me he heard it through somebody who works at the ground take it as you will could be bs.......

Rumour take it with a pinch of salt was a punch up in training regarding Austin other p!ayers getting annoyed that he isn't pushing him self harder to get back in team reckon he is to casual.

Absolute criminal that he is still in a job. I actually think the powers to be want us to gown. A massive asset strip will follow Gao will get original investment back. Reed will pocket a bonus and get a further Liverpool bonus by selling them Boufal.... Club is a joke how can you justify having this title of a manager still here? Grow some swedes admit he is out of depth and get rid.... The players and fans have lost interest in this snooze fest..... Quincy Promes signing in the summer? Do me a favour you really think he is going to swap European footy for championship footy..... Fans need to down tools and stop attending games. Time to unite and get this manager and board gone....

We are going to get smashed 5-0 Salah and Mane going to royally do us........

He looks like a rat..... Proper big ears like

Couldn't care less about any of them to be honest I live in the present they are the past. Way I look at it they have moved onwards to teams with bigger ambition....... Krueger has come out stated we are a "small club" Dress it up all you want it Liverpool came in for a silly bid for Boufal he would be next... This is our modus operandi.... Why attack former players..... Lallana was class on the pitch for us.

I reckon they will smash us not being negative but can't see our back line handling Mane, Salah got a feeling they will tear us apart....

So what did we do differently like line up wise?

I think he is quality is a massive part of our future. Future captain material aswell.

Not like we will be skint either just sign up some talent that will get us out the championship...

I'm starting to think that our manager has been instructed to make silly tactical decisions and make relegation a reality. Feed the fans with rubbish about promising incoming signings. We get relegated owner gets dosh back we sell all the high wage players. Reed gets a bonus.... makes sense

We are heading for a asset strip on a mass scale.... The board / owner will rake in the reddies.... Why hasn't the owner came out and addressed fans? Unveiled direction for the club? Something isn't right at Southampton FC isn't just the manager..... The board are clueless.

Tactically woeful massively out of depth how the board cannot see this......... Leaving best players in bench serving up negative football...... Sack this idiot now!!!!!! He clearly is not going to come good........ Wake up for duck sakes.... Get in so Brody with a bit of balls and passion who can fire is up.

Just give them Redmond and get it done.......

Absolute Shambles...... Why have we not got backup players? stop messing about and put some money on the table for sisto......

Smack down 40 million on ziyech as a backup

I wouldn't pay that amount for him............... unproven at prem level could be gash

i'd take Schurrle over promes at least he is proven in the prem £30 million is a massive risk could end up with Depay.......

But those who said we played bad just be numpties.... We played good and bad quite a few chances could of easily of been 3-0......

Was at the game overall we did good all over Watford. Can't understand why we took off Boufal and put on Yoshida.... Soon as we did this it allowed Watford to apply pressure. Shane Long cannot finish dinner let alone a football....
