MK Dons away I think it was. 

Didn’t we lose that match ? I think Adkins may have been on the touchline, but the team and preparation had been by Dean Wilkins

I was partially correct:

You'd rather be investing in football, in the playing squad. So there will be up and down moments.

"My ask, simply sitting here, is to stay behind the manager because if we do want to keep the same face, managing the football club, we've got to stay behind that person through ups and downs"

The clear implication being that he was removed because the fans had all turned on him.

He was removed because he was pathetic, poor at communications, poor at coaching and a poor tactician.

According to the words of the chief exec that is not the case.

Calm down everyone. Ole's gonna be at the wheel. 😂

Had a dream where we hired Ralph, AA assisted downs with a through ball down the middle, downs ran onto it to slot in low hard shot across goal (good run, strength, and finish)... And then Ralph ran down the line in front of Jones celebrating before telling himself to calm down. Then woke up.... Knew it was too good to be true. But at least I was smiling about saints for a brief moment at least 🤣😢

Key point with all this, is that martin was an arrogant egotistical bell end for a fair portion of his time with Saints... Ralph got smashed 9-0 twice, had fair few other bad beats along the way, and some of his best football was played behind closed doors (and away from the fans) due to COVID... Yet a fairly large proportion of the fanbase would happily take him back. The same cannot be said for Martin, and he delivered us a Wembley final win...

That's true. Personality and liability of managers goes a long way. It's not solely performance.
