At the start of last season, we were in a pretty ugly mess following relegation, no togetherness or optimism amongst team or fans.
RM came in and seemed to heal the wounds - results were better than most of us could have expected, don't forget the record breaking unbeaten run, and though many complained about the stye of play, at least we had an identity and it was something the players seemed to buy in to.
The big problem was that we got promoted when we simply weren't anywhere near good enough to compete in the PL.
This was made worse by some terrible recruitment, by RM being unable or stubbornly refusing to change his views about how the team should be set up and played as an expediency.
SR were too patient, or perhaps lacked the gumption to address the issues with RM and by the time he was removed, we were deep in crisis. Unfortunately when we thought things could have got worse, they have - Juric has presided over a further deterioration and what was once a team with at least some semblance of shape and purpose is now an embarrassing, formless rabble.
It is not too late for next season to written off, but it will need swift, positive and improved decision making and selection from whoever calls the shots at the top. |  | | |  |

Typical of the powers to be at Saints that we binned off Martin and brought in a manager with a completely different playing style .
Hence a squad of players unsuited to what he wants.
With the benefit hindsight we should have brought in a watered down pragmatic version of possession based football or just saw out the season with Lallana and Rusk as the writing was on the wall after the Forest home defeat where we were clearly miles off the pace . |  | | |

We got promoted to that promised land, and yes totally agree with what you have said, but does that not also show the absolute difference in class between the Prem and the Championship?
2 seasons on the trot those that came up go back down again! |  | | |

Is it really all just about the Premiership parachute payments.
Promotion means a financial lifeline for a couple of years |  |
| And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's off with her head |

Lallana is not proven at this level , but he might have what it takes ? can`t be any worse than what we`re seeing at the moment I think everyone is defeated and it`s difficult to even get angry now . | | | |
