Why would they do that? 🤣 I’ll give you Manning and Stephen’s as shite if you like (there would be takers btw) but there would obviously be takers for THB and Downes if available.

This is just absolute nonsense again. Not only did those 4 get picked pretty regularly under Juric (and since) but Downes was playing with a couple of weeks of the end of January. It’s just weird narrative building that doesn’t really have any basis to it. If these were a problem because they liked RM then one of the 3 managers we’ve had since might have looked to have dropped, sold or called them out by now. And given only Stephen’s doesn’t get into the team, and we can put that down him not being good enough then we can call this theory the utter shite it appears to be I think. These 4 were pretty central to the team being promoted last time and probably wouldn’t mind the club getting to those standards again one day.

I’m probably in the camp of the players being to blame and would prefer we allowed a manager some time to sort that out but these guys people are calling bad apples since Martin have gone…have we considered they just want us to get back to better/higher standards than the slop they’ve worked with since?

Was Lallana knocking back PL teams when we got relegated from the PL? Can we just stop a) judging players based on 3 months. B) Sighting random players who fit narratives and pretending their path to success is the only way for other youngsters to make it? Maybe, just maybe, Tyler wants to play in the PL and I’m going to suggest signing for a PL club might give him a better crack at that than not.

Or the ex pompey player and Bournemouth manager

Make believe except for Carragher stating the messages he was receiving during the broadcast last night. Different fans have different opinions shock.

Jagielka and Cahill were mid 20’s when they signed for Everton. Baines 20/21 maybe? Like I said, not comparable. Rice I’ll give you and at no stage did I say Moyes hasn’t guided any youngster well, what I said was Everton fans are criticising him for his handling of Dibling and other youngsters they have now. I’m sure you know best though.

The Rooney that left as soon as he could? None of Cahill, Jagielka or Baines are comparable either.

Think it’s pretty dumb to suggest a team currently under performing, 20th in the Championship and going through another managerial change was the best place for a 19 year old with offers from various top division clubs on the table, to be. It’s genuinely insane logic. But hey, if criticising a kid makes you feel better about Saints then good for you.

That manager is being criticised by Everton fans for not handling him and other youngsters very well. No idea of the merits of that but I said in the summer a Moyes team would not be good for him and also got laughed at for suggesting Dibling without Martins tactics would look a little lost, as he has done since he’s left. I do think talk of the kid being an idiot and ruining his own career is pretty fucking dumb though. Kids 19 ffs 🤣

Apparently bring back Romeu. Merits of that specific signing aside the club continues to play to the crowd, it’s quite funny people think that SR don’t care what they think.

It’s honestly crazy people can watch this season for example, or any of the football under managers since Martin and still think his football was boring. I’m in no way advocating his return, I think that would be a terrible idea, but the rewriting of history of a season in which we scored quite a lot of goals and had a genuine plan of attack which we haven’t seen since is so odd and is just as crazy as us ‘obsessed Martin fans’

That original post doesn’t mention SR anywhere.

It’s actually probably worth remembering the original point I was responding to.

No. In fact it was me who kindly pointed out to those saying it that giving a manager 2 seasons in this league and writing off promotion in May would actually involve losing quite a lot of football matches.
