I recall when he was signed someone from his international team tweeted that we had signed a great footballer if we could be patient. Not an exact quote, but close enough. I knew we had signed up for a headache at that moment. I did not expect an aneurysm. Lets just hope Juric can get his career back on track.

I'd rather watch talented mercenaries than shit that bleeds red and white.

Is there likely to be points deductions for any of the teams involved this year do we think?

Nice article in the Grauniad, have to say he comes across as a good dude. Don't think he's going to feck around, some of our boys are in for a bit of a shock I reckon. Ivan Juric sets sights on ‘death metal football’ at struggling Southampton | Southampton | The Guardian

It's going to be harder to criticise the club for trying to emulate Atalanta's philosophy. A club traditionally associated with lower mid-table Serie A with the occasional Serie B season who for a number of years now have disrupted the status quo in Italy, winning a Europa League, getting Champions League football and currently sitting top. They also play exciting, pressing football whenever I've seen Atalanta on TV. Rather, than Manchester City's, a side funded by a state, the richest club in the world who can go out and sign any player they want to fit their system. Now lets raid Atalanta for their behind the scenes staff, their version of Shields/Wilcox. 😉

Current points and games until end of Jan, will leave you to add your predictions! Saints 6 points H whu A palace H Brentford A Man U A Notts F h Newcastle A Ipswich Total for Feb 13? Ipswich 12 A arsenal H Chelsea A Fulham h Brighton H mancity A Liverpool H us Total 15 Wolves 12 points Maybe 5 more Leicester 14 +6= 2 Back in sight

Reminds me of Christmas shopping , I have months to plan and get it right but end up panic buying a load of shite in the final 24 hours That particular transfer day would have been Rasmus and Nathan Jones in full banter mode

I’d love to be sat round that table discussing transfers, seeing who sees what in some of these players. there seems to be no accountability to spunking £20M on a pile of shite. then they do it again!!!! TWENTY MILLION POUNDS!!! PLUS WAGES!!!! Who’s losing theirs jobs Dragan? it’s the most important job at our club and we fail time and time again.

Fingers crossed. Last thing we need is numbers to drop leading to the club taking only the lower tier at Everton which is bound to be incredibly popular.

He looks like a proper manager. Everything that Jones/Martin isn't. Concern is, he's giving all the soundbites that Pellegrino gave and look what we ended up with almost the exact opposite of the words coming out of his mouth. That said, he CANNOT do any worse than Martin on 5 points from 16 games ffs. Those players need proper coaching and fitness levels need drastic improvement. Juric looks to me like someone who will be their manager and not their mate, which was Martin's biggest downfall. At this level, you can't act like their your mates in for a kickabout. Our squad is piss-fucking-poor theires no doubt about that, but it's better than 5pts/16 that's for sure. I would've liked Moyes, but after the job he did at West Ham his stock is high and to come here in the situation we're in, he would have wanted MEGA money. Welcome Ivan.

And that one game was a dead rubber where we were already relegated. He’s done absolutely in two years the premier league or championship.

As results hopefully improve games will sell out for sure.

Deja vu

I heard Stephens drove into training today playing death metal music loudly from his car....

Surprised Forest went to general sale, thought that would be quite a popular one. Good opportunity for those lower down the ladder though. Does make me nervous that we might start taking smaller allocations though.

Save them for if we run out of cones at staplewood.

I’d rather a player that wanted to be here, through thick and thin, than someone who hasn’t shown any evidence that he does want to fight for us. Quite happy coining his £xxK per week, waiting for the next transfer window. He can fuck off.

Russell Martin and Lucy Pinder currently discussing what the commute is like between Winchester and the Black Country.

January 2023 , a day of transfer business that was so bad we're still feeling the affects of it nearly two years on, quite incredible incompetence

Might explain why a move for him didn't go any further... https://x.com/NicoSchira/status/1871305356560699598?t=hh-YhfLoEam0zI6NPeDAcA&s=19

Sulemana is a dreadful footballer. Sorry.

He isn't. Talk of playing a player who hasn't trained is pointless. He's no closer to the team than Stewart.

Looks like matey is going to be doing a bit of bird, any excuse to share this video again.

When fit, he's a better player than either Bednarek (who we should've shit-canned seasons ago) and Wood (who has improved of late, but from a pretty ropey base).
