My thoughts.....for what it is worth.....probably not much. I didn't dislike RM generally. As for his style of football, I have mixed feelings. Last season, when it worked, I loved watching the team play. Seeing the opposition running around, and getting frustrated because they couldn't get the ball off us was great to watch. The problem came when it wasn't working. When It didn't work it was absolutely dire to watch.......very frustrating. I am not going to denigrate him for last season. He came in to a basket-case of a team/club, and despite the squinnying and nit-picking of many on here, DID get us promoted at the first attempt. I will always be grateful for that. Sadly, since then, we have had a ridiculously bad, even wasteful, transfer window. We now have a squad that would struggle in the Champ, and we tried to play Champs League football with it. Things should have been addressed, one way or another much, much earlier in the season. We are throwing/giving our hard-earned Promotion away so easily. I don't think that anyone in a position of power at the Club comes away with any credit. Managers are easy to blame/sack, owners not so much. Unless they have a desire to sell, or someone very rich has a desire to buy, you are probably stuck with them. I didn't dislike RM, but, by God I found him incredibly frustrating this season! Oh well.......onwards and.....upwards??

Please......nobody say "Big Sam"......

Don't forget the "brilliant moments".

RM will be more upset about that than the actual score.....

"Trust the Process......"

Spot on!

Indeed...

It is a difficult balance keeping an "in" with the club and asking "challenging" questions....

Interview with Dragan.......late on in the video......don't expect too much...

Don't forget "Some brilliant moments" that we had despite losing......

This is the problem. ANY fluke win will be looked upon as "the Process" starting to work instead of being just that.....a fluke. The one win that we do have was hardly convincing.......

May be me, but I am getting a slight feeling of hostility here.....and yet she speaks highly of you......🤔

Have we got the same M-i-L? 😂

Just imagine if your Mother-in-Law became Saints Manager......

Or where the opposition goal is.....

I worked at the Dell on matchdays, helped run the Travel Club back in the 70's/80's and was quite well in with a number of people there at the time. Ian Branfoot, who was then, I think, Youth Team Coach, was very highly thought of by those in charge. I often heard it said that he would make a really good manager. How wrong could they be??

It is actually quite funny, following it on "Southampton SaintsFC Forum Facebook Chat" Banner owner moaning that other fans are "snitching" on him, reporting him to the club. Having the photo of his banner stolen and his "Identity" stolen. It resembles an episode of "Slow Horses" and it is far more entertaining following this saga that it is watching games!

The person who supposedly made this is now saying on FB that someone has stolen his identity and he is not meeting at TB Statue at 6.00pm, Sounds like a well organised "protest!"

Spot on. Mind you, even Pep is finding it difficult to be Pep at the moment......

Somebody just has........and I don't think he handled it very well......

RM getting snippy at the Presser I think......

Can't find it now, but I saw a post on X this morning saying that SR are just beginning to realise that they are losing the fans......

One of the "Brilliant Moments".
