Saints V Crystal Palace The Verdict
at 12:03:30

Koeman's become disgruntled due to the lack of backing from the board but at the end of the day he seems to be struggling to get his message across to the players and ultimately its him that's now facing the brunt of it and needs to take some of the flack after 9 defeats in 11. But its about the bigger picture, Les Reed gains a substantial cut in every transfer and we're among the lowest 3 wage payers in the league, so we will never be able to keep players under this type of management. But also when you factor in these details , it makes it very convenient for the club to instigate that the players are unsettled and want to leave, they are simply pulling a smokescreen in front of our eyes. This was emphasised during the summer when they were reluctant to spend more money than they brought in. In addition, it is near on impossible to consistently run a Premier League football team in profit (otherwise other teams would do it) and I feel the board are almost playing on the fans fear of a recurrence of the Aministration in 2009 in order to justify their penny pinching philosophy. I would like to think the board prove me wrong during January and bring in some adequate signings, not just cheap gambles, although Im not so naive to think that will completely fix the issues; as after watching Jason McCarthy perform brilliantly in the fa cup (against premier league opposition) in terms of his solidity in defending and pace and power going forward, I feel we're very much missing that blend of academy products that we have had over the years and therefore should also attempt to put more emphasis and trust into them instead of budget buys like Martina that simply aren't up to it.
