Probably. He's a politician, that's what they do.

He probably doesn't, it's just something he has to say to appear to be strong on dealing with this sort of thing.

He doesn't fit at the moment but ideally when we bring in a new manager he will change the way we play and it might be that it suits him better, who knows. Also, he hasn't looked anywhere near Prem quality but the Championship is miles away from the level most Premier teams play at. Tella was shite in the Prem and look how he's ripped the Championship apart.

We do have a whole load of players who have looked decent in inferior leagues so if managed right we might have a decent side (fucking massive IF through). Players like Armstrong, Aribo, Adams should all be more at home at this level whilst never being good enough for the Prem. Some of the younger players should improve and most the new signings have excelled in inferior foreign leagues so might be decent Championship players. We just need to add some Championship experience, first on the list an ugly hard northern championship bastard in midfield.

How do you know that? Surely selecting the manager (or head coach) is one of the main things a director of football does. If not how exactly is he directing the football?

Clueless board, clueless manager and a bunch of tosser players who just don’t give a shit.

Selles is just fucking clueless.

So true. For a team the size of Saints in the Premier League it is so important to have a good keeper.

1. Mental recruitment policy in the summer - pissing money up the wall on a bunch of kids and no proven scorer. 2. Replacing Ralph with Jones. Think our horrendous 'Surrender White' home kit sums up the club - trying to be different for the sake of it and just ending up shit.

Can't see anything other than an easy three points for Bournemouth tonight. They know we are desperate to win and lack creativity so can just sit there and hit us on the break. 2 or 3 nil defeat.

Not very confident in Brighton getting a result tonight after Sunday.

It’s mental that a fuck up like Diane Abbott is still an MP, the more distance Starmer can put between the likes of her and the other Corbyn cronies the better. Getting rid of her will undoubtedly be a good thing for Labour. While what she said was wrong, I haven’t read anything I would consider anti-Semitic, as usual she is just looking at everything from perspective of racism against blacks. She’s right in saying there are different types of racism but her comparisons are crass and offensive.

He’s only 23 and one of the best attacking players in the Championship, I expect he will have more options than Saints or Burnley.

We lost because we were not good enough. Poch put out a team of reserves when we actually had a side capable of winning the thing (there were teams like Sheffield Utd and Hull City waiting in the next rounds). Plus we had nothing to play for in the league.

We're Southampton, 90% of the players here would rather be somewhere else.

Pochettino fucked up our best chance with his disgraceful team selection at Sunderland. That was our best chance of a trophy by far.

Wouldn't consider anything under £20mill, we've all seen what shite 10-15mill gets you nowadays.

When the return of our 'can't score in a brothel' centre-forward is our big hope you know we are fucked.

If he keeps this shower up then he would have done a good gob, no one could deny that. I guess if there is someone out there available and wanting the job whose got a great cv then it might make sense to change but if someone is doing a good job it rarely makes sense to sack them.

Fucking mental

This. The club is so badly run it is funny. All that money spunked in January has just made our situation worse.

I refuse to believe that. If anyone owes the club a performance it’s that shit, stealing a living cunt.

Does anyone know what Adams’ injury actually is?

Not fussed anymore, we’re gonna get stuffed regardless of which of the losers in our squad he picks.

I guess Labour will be the big winners if their vote collapses.
