I think Cortese is irrelevant to be honest. You could argue any other professional or semi professional team would plan better. 

And don't get me started on other squad members being paid handsomely to sit at home.doing jigsaw puzzles, utterly bizarre sequence of incompetence that would verge on someone deliberately sabotaging the club to be believable 

Not that irrelevant given that we heard a lot about bringing special bedding to away games and particular meal plans for players. It seemed we cared about the little details back then and marginal gains. Thos debacle just underlines how we've lost that caring and are happy with being average.

Blackmore offers nothing other than than the club are doing their best. He is a fucking wet wipe of the highest order.

House, he is a smarmy **** who get irritated at fans for questioning the manager.

 

Very sad state of affairs when these 2 are our voices to the club outside of the match itself.

Bollocks he said none of that today. In fact he was very fair.

Was thinking the same. 
 

Absolute shambles from the top down.

 
Tessem & Blackmore were urging patience on the radio, saying Still needs until the international break. 

But I disagree. I don’t think we can even wait until the next international break, I think he has to go now. We need an experienced championship manager in to stop the rot.
 

His tenure has been a complete catastrophe and we are in free fall until he goes.

Sports Republic are too afraid to appoint a proper leader who would call out their nonsense approach to running a football club and player recruitment 

We need a manager who's been successful in the Championship and could get promoted with a bigger budget. Someone like Mark Robins, but he doesn't fit the SR profile of up and coming.

Agreed, he normally annoys me with happy clappy schtick but he properly told it like it was for once.

If people want change then you either boycott or have mass protest in the ground. If you decide to turn up and continue watching with no action, don’t bother complaining if it doesn’t change because it won’t. The owners need to be made to feel very uncomfortable

How about strongly worded letters?

My daughter was born at about 3pm yesterday. There was a glorious 24 hour period of her life that she had never experienced Saints lose. Hey-ho, never too young to learn about disappointment I guess.

This is where I'm at. 

If I were pay-as-you-go, I wouldn't be handing over more money to be spunked by these morons. 

As a season ticket holder I'm leaning towards continued attendance but giving SR hell.

Though if we decided en masse to stay away I certainly wouldn't scab.

Was it as simple as it looks? captain shoehorn comes on and we concede 2 soft goals. I could see him marking the penalty spot for the first one, but thankfully didn't see the game...

To be fair, first one was a cross that caught McCarthy out and found its way inside his post because his reaction speeds are slower than mine, and the second was a cross into the midriff of Bragg, who pushed the ball down into the path of two Blackburn forwards about 5yds from goal

But Stephens was largely anonymous after coming on and certainly didn't have the stabilising/enforcing impact that the manager was speaking about post-match when he was asked why he thought to make that sub

with Stephens in midfield it was like watching an oil tanker race speedboats
