GOOD! fed up of players thinking they are more important than the club.

My Thoughts on Saints. Looks like a few bad apples are still sour over Martin’s departure. Take Downes, for example — throwing his toys out of the pram after being denied a move to Ipswich. Adam Armstrong, Fraser, and Archer — all feeling a bit rattled too. Personally, I think the lads had it easy under Martin — he was too matey with the players. Juric has come in, ruffled a few feathers, and set higher standards. Now a few players with weak mentalities / stubbornness to change are throwing hissy fits. In the grand scheme of things, this is a golden opportunity to clear out the toxic individuals and bottle jobs. Sell anyone who doesn't give 100% in training or refuses to commit to new philosophies and ways of playing. No room for passengers. Players like Downes whinging? If it carries on, stick them in the reserves and fine them — make an example of it. Can we get some clarity on the Bella-Kotchap situation? Does he actually want to play for us, or is he just giving it the Bobby Big Bollocks? Lastly, can we get an update on Ross Stewart? Is the man actually capable of stepping on a blade of grass without shattering? Moving forwards: Clear the decks — sell anyone who lacks commitment or heart. If we can build around Tyler Dibling and Fernandes realistically I can't see both staying but they are highlights in what has been a shit season and the future of out club Bring in a couple of experienced players with aggression, leadership, grit, and steel. We need proper units — athletes with real presence and engines who can run allday look at the likes of Brighton, Bournemouth and some of the build and height and presence of players in the Newcastle team as a example, big strong lads! No nonsense or pissing about straight in with the tough tackling Right now, players like Smallbone look like kids on the pitch, getting dispossessed by a gust of wind, let alone the opposition. Far too lightweight for the Premier League. Get it back to basics! New Director of Football with direction and philosophy. Manager on the same wavelength Coaches who are capable of coaching. New Scouting Setup, let's not dress it up they have failed miserably this season!

Whole club needs massive surgery! New Manager Coaches Scouting Setup Majority of this team sold Rebuild with players with a bit of heart and bollocks about them ....

Big Tall Paul to score a brace

Isn't a Premiership capable player. If we keep him next season then get promoted then what ? Pull the plug?

Would anyone take Ings back?

Why are we selling Amo? What a joke.....

Chuffed for the lads and Ivan. Hopefully we can now build some form of confidence and momentum.

You know the funny thing? I'm on spectrum myself and have always recognised similar traits. If he is so be it! exceptional footballer! But we can't all be extroverted and I relate wholeheartedly I find change scary and get massively overwhelmed.

4-0 forest

If he is incapable of playing football due to long term injuries, release and move on why the silence ?

Yeah I reckon Juric had a word and told Dragan to wake up.

God we really are shit....smashing allsorts of records it's getting embarrassing

Any news on how long he is out for?

Okay noted, I will tone it down a bit 😀

Circle of Twats enlighten us

If I was in charge players wouldn't be having days out to go on jollies... I'd have them doing laps 🤣

Director of football Tell Rasmus to fuck off to Turkey new Scouting throw money and poach sucessful scouts. Gut the squad sell the shit..... loan back the shit..... Formation 4-4-2 keep it simple go back to basics become more resilient harder to beat. Bed in some youngsters such as AMO. Start targeting the best players in the championship now. But don't overlook experience! We also want a transfer focus on hard bastards / tough tackling in midfield and defence I'm talking big strong units get some height and presence in the team.

Can we just sign a couple of units like hard bastards.... Don't necessarily have to be skillful, just want a couple of lads who are tall, strong and Don't fuck about with the tackles... Proper old skool holding midfielder and a experienced leader at the back will do. And a striker. Problem with our team is we are just powder puff, weak mentality has been for a few seasons now get some bollox and heart in this squad!

Sell the under performers and get as much money as we can. Bed in some of our youth players like AMO and whoever else has a bit of potential and wants to actually play for us. Get ruthless and target the best players in the championship now! Mix of youth but don't forget to add a few experienced heads with some actual bollox and heart about them

Couldn't give a shit same as this season write the whole lot off

Beyond the Championship, where do we go from here? The highs of Wembley feel like a distant memory, and the initial excitement when Sports Republic took over has all but faded. What’s next for our club? Murmurs of a ten-year plan—or is it just speculation? What exactly is the vision here? A little transparency wouldn’t go amiss. Fans deserve to know the true direction of this ownership and tenure. What’s the plan for our club’s future? What I witnessed after the abysmal display at Brentford was deeply saddening. It epitomized everything currently wrong with our club. The players seemed to throw in the towel, imploding under pressure. There was no direction, no cohesion—no pride, grit, or willingness to fight. This isn’t the team we stand behind. The lack of urgency and fragile mindset has become a recurring theme at Southampton FC in recent years. Too often, the team resembles rabbits caught in headlights, crumbling under pressure. It’s a pattern that’s all too familiar—and deeply concerning for the club’s future. So, what’s the real catalyst for our current predicament? Is it the poor managerial appointments? Are the players simply not good enough for this league? Is it a fitness issue? Or are they lacking the mental resilience and fight needed to compete at this level? Sports Republic have now been our owners for three years. At this point, you have to start questioning their football knowledge and decision-making abilities as overseers of this club. Dress it up however you like, but something has to change. It’s too early to judge or blame Jurić, but appointing a Director of Football and refreshing the scouting setup wouldn’t hurt the situation. Sports Republic need to adapt, evolve, and learn from their mistakes. They’re creating a legacy—but not in a positive way. We’re on track to match or surpass Derby's record in the Premier League. These statistics are damaging and humiliating, and I truly feel for the fanbase, especially the younger generation who will have to endure ridicule because of such records. Dragan, it’s time to wake up and smell the reality. Tough footballing decisions need to be made because, right now, you don’t have the right footballing minds in place to oversee this club. You and the fans have been sold a lie. We March On!

Give the lad a chance.... He hasn't even been appointed yet. No need to act like a lemonade sandwich.... 🤣

I don't know nothing about the lad, give him the remainder of the season. If he miraculously keeps us up then extend the contract for a season or two...

I'd take Moyes all day long. He knows the league, will get the team organised and install a bit of pride, bollocks and grit. Stability is what we need right now and someone who can offer qualities of leadership and experience. Possibly the best hope we have of remaining in the Premier league what isn't to like about it? Even if it's a short term contract until the end of season and review...... What's the alternative try to be clever and appointment a unknown entity at this level? We can't afford to continue to fuck around....
