Are we as fans really that unhappy to return to the Championship?
at 23:51 23 Jan 2025

Likewise, loved going to the games, especially the away games in the championship. Knowing that we could win the game, away from home with 3000 plus Saints fans celebrating in the away end was great fun. Being at the top of the league and in most games being the bigger club is much more enjoyable than getting thrashed every week ofcourse.

But next season will be a bit of a strange feeling. The joy of getting promoted at Wembley, then the misery of this season brings an interesting feeling. So if we end coming back up next year, is it that exciting knowing the misery that promotion brings? It's like we have been there, done that. Another promotion to a league we don't want to be in? An inevitable relegation battle. It's almost like I won't be too bothered if we don't get back up next season.

Totally agree. Although, Forest, Bournemouth, Fulham have shown that the PL can be enjoyable for lesser clubs. PL certainly seems like a bad idea for Saints. We can't seem to get anywhere.

Very happy to return. Better atmospheres, no VAR (yet), new grounds to visit, meeting proper loyal fans, no tourists, more honest players. The PL is just a corporate machine for a load of armchair fans and paying players 200 grand a week. But, I would rather return tomorrow, than go through another PL games of misery. The wait before we can regroup and go again next year, could be damaging.

Wrexham away would be a very popular away day next season. Can't remember ever playing them.

Totally agree. The owners and people running this club are sh!tting on their supporters. They are here to make money. They don't care about the fans. Taken for fools. And the owners seem to be getting away with it.

You have to ask yourself why we can't attract the best managers anymore too. They won't come here, knowing we have an average team. There is one set of people destroying this club. What do you think would improve things? Remember that top managers won't come here. What would make the difference?

Except keep singing for the manager to go? Oh well, we just keep losing I suppose and do nothing. Imagine Newcastle.fans being told that when they wanted Ashley out.

If that's your view, that they are all bad managers, despite them doing well.at other places (Selles at Reading and Hull, Juric was headhunted by Roma), then there is still only one set of people to blame. And that's the people who have in your view, appointed 5 terrible managers.

Well after 5 different managers who have all failed, not surprisingly with inept players. The answer is a big yes. The problem.is above the manager. We can't defend, can't score, no matter what tactics we employ and no matter who plays.

I agree wholeheartedly. But my point is we heard the Northam wall singing Martin out loud and clear. Have you heard any protests against the owners? I have sung it a few times, but nobody joined in. Thye joined in with the Martin out chants, as they did when we all sang Jones out. The problem are the owners, not investing in quality players. We will keep losing until the real culprits are brought to account.

So why do we keep blaming managers then instead of the board and owners? We have been doing that since the days of Ralph, Jones, Selles. Then it was Martin's fault. So we keep blaming managers and nothing changes because the real thing that is wrong isn't being addressed.

New manager, 5 defeats in a row isn't it? Change him again. Any appetite to blame the real culprits? Or just keep losing every match and pretend it's the manager?

Another mistake from one on of our inept players. Still not being managed properly? These players are simply not good enough. When people start realising that it doesn't matter who the manager is, that the players are not capable of winning PL.games, the better.

The perfect ex scout, ex player recruiter to find some bargains to sell on for a profit, to make more money for the multi-club Sport Republic. Sound familiar?
