Reply | Was it wrong to dispense with RM this season?

All very well getting another manager in, which could also be a car crash and who's to say incoming will be better that IJ, but the main (obvious) problem is the quality of the players we have and then getting them to play to a system that actually works to the required quality. Steve Cooper? Danny Rohl? Who knows .............
The whole club will require a massive kick up the arris in the close season with a strong manager coming in (Juric as has been said is probably not the right guy purely based on what us mere mortals can see with team selection and substitutions etc but will he walk before being pushed or will he want to give it a go?), and an overhaul of the playing staff with a few unknown nuggets maybe (?) but preferably those with knowledge on how the Championship works
Ultimately it's down to recruitment both on and off the pitch that needs to be looked at. But by who?? |

Didn't want to mention that one as they're in with good chance of going up, just a shame they can hardly score more than the odd goal! |

Pretty good summary taken from one of the Echo online comments after Bree has said things can't get any worse
"Unless and until we get an NC or Peter Kenyon type CEO with a clear cut vision to improve in every area, even mattresses, then we are truly dead in the water.
It wasn't luck it was pulling everything together, there will be bumps in the road, Paards won a cup but was expected to get promotion, we should have won the Championship and Kat should have stayed out of the picture, nonetheless until her last mega fall out with NC we were flying and as Wenger, SAF, Bruce, MoPo all stated we were the best team they played in 2012/2013, everyone was on board.
It was an era of three steps forward and an occasional step back, now it is full retreat and not a single battle won except by sheer luck.
We can accept set backs as long as the direction of travel is overall onwards and upwards.
SR keep taking cheap options in place of a defined mission to get on the front foot, managers, player choices, what was the point of Archer, Lallana, Frazer, why lose Alcaraz, I mean it's left right and centre atrocious decision making, any good 'uns have been sold, it's crazy in technocolour.
Get as close as you can to an NC and start afresh. |

Reply | Will you renew your season ticket next season?
at 13:56 16 Feb 2025
I often wondered about these polls you see on tv or in the press asking all sorts of questions with people's views that are supposed to be the general view of the whole population. But they only ask about 1000-1500 "random" people but apparently representing 50-60 odd million of us
So only getting a dozen or so answers on here must therefore be representative on the 28k ish regular Saints fans (who actually go to games)
So 80% renewing/getting an ST next season is probably good news for SR?? |

Or, just thinking out loud, what if the likes of Nick and other top brass on all Saints forums got together to ask some questions of the club directly and express the views that probably 90% of all Saints fans are thoroughly pi55ed off with the way OUR club is being run? |

Unfortunately the only message the board will get is that if there are more that will renew their ST than don't by a considerable margin they won't give a sh1t
Mind, it's unlikely they ever look at these boards to find out the general opinions |

I've asked this before, but whatever happened to this fans representatives a couple of seasons ago that we were told would be a link to the club itself. Didn't we actually vote for them or something?
Or am I talking out if my arris and dreaming  |

Reply | Top 3 reasons for going to Saints
at 12:22 16 Feb 2025
1. Catch up with mates, in pub before the game
2. Stop missus moaning about me moaning about SR etc and going to pub before the game
3. Can't think of any other reason at this stage of what must be the worst season ever watching Saints |

Just totally ignore them. I dislike them as a generalisation due to their arrogance thinking that we are major rivals when really we just don't care about them
As Dirk (I think) said, a lot of Saints fans used to think of them as their 2nd club, and yes, liked seeing them do well. But how many of their current regular fans even knew where Dean Court was 10-15 years ago
There is only one derby on the south coast and we all know what that one is. Doesn't matter that we rarely play them due to their lowly position, but wait til next season, that's gonna be horrendous. Then B/mouth fans will see what a derby is like! |

Well I know it's Wednesday today so that probably explains why they've sent me an email encouraging me to buy a "Yellows" away shirt so we can get down there tomorrow! Would also get a £20 gift voucher as an added bonus! |

Should there also be criteria for him being or not being here. As in his choice or SR's choice that he goes as is he not on a 6 month "probation" or something?
Cos let's face it, if he does go by whatever means, what will SR replace him with?? |
