"Friday night and the gates are low Looking out for a place to go Where they play the right football In the Premier league That rules Southampton out No matter how we shout We have a lousy team Quite the worst we have ever seen Hopeless team Going down like a submarine We can't score Or defend How will we ever survive We're ignored While the board Ruins our football team"...
Deep joy. I think Downes may have the makings of a footballer but Slackerjack has been a negative contribution on the field and we would be better off fielding ten men.
RM was not part of the solution. He should have gone at the end of last season. A newly promoted side would have attracted a better manager. The board hung onto him for too long. That was their fault. The favouritism shown to duff players and the exclusion of better ones was entirely is and contributed massively to the current parlous situation. There is a certain performance level below which a manager has no excuses. If you get promotion, you should be good enough to struggle through a season in the next division and work from there. RM was unable to achieve that performance level. Much as I would like to see SR run out of town for their ineptitude, their faliure to sack RM earlier does not excuse his own.
I expect that we will be descending through the lower divisions for some years yet. Sports Republic will know when to call in the administrators, having pumped up their foreign offshoots with the SFC money and then 'lost' the rest
To answer the question. It has taken us until the 24th game to win our second. we are not even good enough for the Championship right now. Two teams will be relegated above us and any thought of a great escape will evaporate by next Sunday, alas.
Being pedantic, Juric hasn't played in any of them but I take your point. He is doing the best he can with what he has and on the pitch, it seems that he can get a far better performance out of them than Russell Martin. Players that were sidelined are coming good and getting games which is improving them. Sadly I think we will lose him at the end of the season, just when the solid work he has put in starts to pay off.
Just tuned in and we are having a good day. Only 3 nil down at half time. What has happened to this club is a sick joke. Ankersen shold be run out of town.
Well, I thought the idea was that in order to be promoted in the first place you had to be of premiership standard. Those players have a chance to cut it at the top level but they are slowed down by the weight of their pay packets once they get there.
