Parsons?
Ankersen?
Bitcon?
Would be concerned with all of these.
Based on our summer business, Ramsdale and Fernandes apart, they have failed us miserably.
Our failure to replace Jason Wilcox has proved very costly. |  |

What did Wilcox ever do for us? There were few great signings in his time here and who's to say we wouldn't have got them or near equivalents anyway? About the only thing he did was appoint RM. So, if his contribution to the club was negative then why should we miss him? Wilcox was part of the problem.
If we recruit a new DOF now then it will have to be someone who buys into the new approach, instead of being another tippy tappy merchant, which is what would have happened if we'd replaced Wilcox immediately. |  | | |

I thought he made some good signings for us.
Harwood-Bellis and Downes were pretty important signings in getting us back up, and we won’t lose money on them. | |

I would think it would be Rasclot Ankersen. | | | |

Transfer negotiations are one thing, but identifying and prioritising the type of players that the manager wants in the first place is actually more important. The manager will always set the priorities and have a yes/no decision on signings.
Juric has shown already that he believes in centre forwards, while RM was more interested in false 9s and centre forwards on the wing. I bet Juric also knows that physical, ball winning midfielders are more important to clubs like us than tippy tappy types. The January window is probably a lost cause, but with a decent manager in place we now have more hope of signing the right kind of players in the summer. | | | |

Couldn't we borrow someone from Bournemouth to do it? |  |

Talking of Bournemouth, I see Brooks on MOTD, playing for Bournemouth, nearly scoring a worldy with the side of his boot from 25 yards. | |

I think it fair to say we deserve to be where we are.
The owners and managers have made sure of that. |  | | |

I hope we don't buy anyone this January. This season is a lost cause now and we would be better keeping our money and starting to focus on the summer window and the next season. I won't object if we off-load a few in this window. | | | |

if we could somehow sell Sulemana, that would be better than any new signing. | |

A big clear out in January would make sense They'll be easier to get rid of/ worth a little bit more as Premier League players and it's not as if we're going to lose any more points without them here.
It's time for them to go. They've done enough damage here already:
McCarthy
Stephens
Bednarek
Sulemana
The strikers are more of an enigma. We know a couple of them can score goals at Championship level, but we really should sell at least one of them now.
I don't suppose West Ham would let us cut Cornet's loan short? [Post edited 31 Dec 2024 10:36]

I doubt there’s a professional club in the whole of the UK where the manager alone has a yes/no decision on signings. Totally naive to think otherwise.
The club and Juric have a mutually agreed contract break clause which can be activated by either party hence I very much doubt that he will be in charge when we start our 2025 Championship campaign. | |

Why do you keep misquoting what people say? Are you really as stupid as you seem or are you deliberately trying to be annoying?
I did not say "the manager alone" has a yes/no decision. I said that the manager "will always set the priorities and have a yes/no decision on signings" i.e. he is ONE of the people who has to agree to a signing. If you were an owner of a club would you really spend £20m on a player that your manager said he didn't want, didn't rate and wasn't likely to pick? If so, then you are as stupid as you sound.
Every player we've signed as a senior player will have been approved by the manager at the time they were bought. The only modern club that hasn't followed this policy was Brentford in the first years after Matthew Benham took over and he insisted that the then manager couldn't overrule the data engine that Benham had brought with him to the club. This was so revolutionary that the manager resigned. They've since changed this policy. Now Phil Giles and Thomas Frank work hand in hand on transfers as they've talked about publicly. | | | |

Dear oh dear oh dear Ifonly.
Yet again being reduced to having to spin what you originally said.
Rather a pattern throughout 2024 as I recall.
To be honest, I’ve throughly enjoyed crossing swords with you on a variety of subjects during 2024 and hope to be able to do so again next year. I can’t remember which subject in particular but I do remember actually agreeing with you once !
In that spirit and as one long suffering Saints supporter to another, I genuinely take this opportunity of wishing you and your family all the very best for 2025. | |

They may want to sell him in January for the same reason we would like to shift some on. |  |

I'm not spinning anything. The words are there in black and white. Even a child can understand the difference between "the manager has a yes/no decision" and "the manager alone has a yes/no decision". If a child can understand the difference then I think you can too. So that means that you are deliberately claiming I said things, that you know I didn't. If it was the first time I'd let it pass, but it isn't. You clearly have some kind of weird agenda.
Making up bullsh*t about someone is disrespectful at least, so I will now start treating you with the same disrespect that you treat me. So, I wish a happy new year to all other Uglies, but you can just go stick it where the sun don't shine. Until you stop telling lies about me I hope your 2025 is as sh*tty as you deserve. | | | |

Many thanks for your kind wishes Ifonly.
It may surprise you to learn that I still genuinely wish you and your family all the best.After all, we are both Saints fans so what’s to be gained in not doing so ?
In any event I’m pretty certain that both the 🌍 and your good self will continue to spin in 2025. | |
