If the rumours are true then it looks like our new manager will be Carlos Corberan. I personally don't know much about him apart from the fact that he's done well at WBA. Apparently he's considering an offer that's on the table from us. Let's get it done & look forward to some improvement from the Russell Martin era.
I thought we were a bit unlucky last night. Both of Luverpools goals were as a result of our deflections & Archer scored a Christmas cracker albeit he was fortunate to get the ball via a deflection. Then to rub salt into our wounds we were robbed of a penalty when Fernández was dragged down on the edge of the box.
They won't give it to Lallana because we still need him as a player. He might not manage many minutes but when he's on the pitch he's probably our best player.
I agree I think Lallana would be a sensible choice ( but SR don't do sensible choices). No risk & no cost. But, we still need him as a player, albeit he's limited to his playing time, he's still probably our best player at the club.
We didn't actually play any better in 2nd half. Spurs just took their foot off the gas & allowed us to have possession to see the game out. When you're 5-0 up at half time why would you bust a gut in 2nd half.
Good call. A very sensible solution Lallana as interim Coach until end of season. No one else else would be interested. The damage is already done we're all but relegated by Christmas but let's at least go down fighting. Lallana' s experience may just restore a bit of structure & pride into the team for remaining games.
Gary O'Neil is probably the only vacant Manager that would be daft enough to replace Russell Martin. But how would that go down an ex Pompey player managing our club. But I'd take him over RM any time.
You're right there have been rumours linking KWP to moving in every transfer window for the last 2 years or more. I'm not convinced that other clubs rate him as highly as we do, he would have been gone by now if any club were seriously interested in signing him. He is technically good on the ball but is very dodgy defensively & I think other clubs realise that. But it could be different in the summer because he can go for nothing.
For months now I have been expecting ( wanting) to see an announcement that RM has been sacked. I am now convinced & resigned to the fact that SR have no intention of sacking him or replacing him. This reinforces my opinion that SR have settled for relegation & are now preparing for another season in the Championship. They can then benefit from the Parachute payment & sell off our best players to rake in a few more million in transfer fees. I actually enjoyed our season in the Championship so am not to concerned about going down again. But this just typifies the apathy that has been created by SR + RM over the last 12 months.
Unless we improve dramatically then we will go down in history as the worst ever Premier Lge team. Let's look at the facts. 1) we have the worst owners in the lge. 2) we have the worst Manager / Coach in the lge. 3) with Ramsdale out we have the worst goalkeepers in the lge. 4)we have the worst defence in the lge. 5) we have the worst midfield in the lge. 6) we have by far the worst attack in the lge. Individually not all are the worst players in the lge but collectively as a team we are the worst. The only thing going for the club at the moment is that us fans have stuck with them. There's no way that we can be considered as the worst fans in the lge. We deserve better from our club than we are getting right now.
There is a cheap option. Get rid of Martin & appoint Adam Lallana as interim coach until the end the season. Lallana has got far more experience of what is required in Premier Lge. We know we're going down regardless of who is manager/ Coach but let's at least go down fighting. Lallana could not do any worse than Martin. In fact I don't think I could do any worse than Martin.
