i bet he posts on here.

we need more of that on this forum. or are you back to being literal? I've gone and confused myself by overthinking

i *think* it was a metaphor... @revolution saint sees dark clouds on the horizon and stormy weather ahead. BUT its august and seems too early for this....

I genuinely feel a bit worried about you. Banging on and on and on with the same negative and pessimistic worry won’t change the situation either way. You come across as unhappy and fixated. Ultimately football is supposed to be fun and enjoyable - and at the end of the day doesn’t actually matter in the big scheme of things. Don’t let it make you unhappy .

Cool. thing is the advice is still sound. Your worry and catastrophising has no influence on the situation either way. let’s hope saints have a decent plan and deal with it September if they don’t.

Reported by whom? I think there’s lots of misinformation out there. For clicks. To use as stalking horses. I could write a report and put it online that says we were in for Mbappe. I could even say talks were “advanced” - doesn’t make it true. don’t get me wrong. I’m underwhelmed so far. But the reaction and histrionics on here is just way OTT and importantly, way too premature.

Jesus. there’s lots of things being asserted as fact here. Chill out man. how do you actually know we were in for Piroe? All the interviews with RM and Wilcox I’ve seen and they’ve played a straight bat to the rumours. Plus RM (who managed him - said he’s more like Armstrong. Doesn’t sound like a l4l replacement of che to me!) do you actually KNOW che isn’t staying? NO. You just fear it. do you KNOW we don’t have anyone better lined up. NO. chill out man. Get outside. Try not to focus on all the negative noise and anxiety in your head. You’ll be happier. if at the end of the window any of these things come to pass we can deal with it then. But like most worries and worst fears - they probably won’t

I think there’s lots of (understandable given SR’s chequered history of under delivering in relation to hype and promises) over reaction in this thread. I share the same pessimism and fear as the majority of you - (saints failing for the third window in getting a proper striker to replace Ings and the whole gakpo fiasco.) and I’m not overwhelmed with the signings so far. BUT we can’t really judge until the window ends. RM promised we’d be stronger at the end of the window than at the start. Let’s hold the panic until the window shuts and see whether that’s proven to be the case or not. If not, let’s hold them accountable.

Absolutely not at our club. Just not the attention or noise we need. Plus too many question marks about his character. I couldn’t in good conscience cheer him. He needs to go abroad somewhere and play where the case wasn’t so high profile - earn a living there. He might have to accept that his days of earning a top wage, at a top club, in the spotlight is over. Unless there is a public airing of the new evidence that demonstrates that the images and audio wasn’t what it appeared to be. I think he’s too “damaged goods” in the public perception to be in the spotlight in this country without loads of discourse.

Really?! Not a distraction we need at our club thanks. Too many question marks about him and his character. I’d prefer if we just steer clear.

Regardless of whether it wanted to be smashed or not. (allegedly)

Adam Armstrong so good today. Charles was good too. Thought we’re lacking bench options and a little bit of quality in the first team but good result and decent performance.

Aye, that’s a good response. it’s true. Guess I’m just feeling pessimistic after the last few years of fuckups and shit football. I probably should have more faith in Wilcox and the team and need to remember the last time we went down more. But I’m not gonna lie. No one at Saints have much credit in the good will bank atm.

I’m getting concerned that for all the talk of Piroe and Grimes coming in and being our saviours…. When did buying lots of players from a mid table team, with a manager that finished mid table become the blueprint for success? It didn’t really work for Liverpool when they signed 5 /6 of our players. Took another couple of seasons and a change in manager and different signings to be successful.

I’m disappointed he’s chosen to leave. But that his choice. So no farewell, let’s just draw a line under it and he can join the likes of fonte and lallana as “yeah whatever” when talked about in relation to saints. I won’t boo but I won’t cheer either. my main concern like others have said : his leaving leaves the first team weaker whilst not really helping with squad size. Think it might get worse before it gets better. I don’t feel confident we will be buying players of his calibre any time soon. Hopefully we can shift the 8 or so dross players before we lose anyone decent.

I for one am looking forward to a convincing win this weekend. Full of aggression and front-footedness. A clean sheet, impeccable football and impressive tactics. You said you’d deliver Nathan. With the greatest of respect, now’s the time.

Ah ok. I thought he meant let the club go. Maybe he meant their manager. Cheers

I thought it was an interesting forum - much better than I anticipated in terms of allowing the fans to ask questions (many of which were direct and difficult) and showing unedited footage. Goes a small small way of increasing trust and on the minor positive: I think they fronted up well and gave some answers BuT they were always gonna be limited in terms of the information shared with regard to the Jones situation at this point. Like other posters I didn’t think the answers gave much new information but I think they were surprised at the depth of feeling and anger. I don’t have much to add that hasn’t been discussed already but I did catch “Rasmus say about making a mistake in buying a club in turkey under time pressure so they let it go” did this refer to Goztepe? Do SR not own it anymore? Has the multi club model strategy changed? I thought it was a big thing for a throwaway comment… so what have I missed?

Cos Nathan made such good use of that break eh?!

On the positive side. Nathan has managed to fix that terrible terrible habit that Ralph’s team had of dropping points from winning positions…….. But I don’t believe never scoring or taking winning positions in the first place is a great solution tbh.

Yeah this is precisely why I didn’t. But it would be interesting 😂

Maybe I shouldn’t have made the poll anonymous 🤔

Thought it was time for a new poll

Well, let’s hope the board can look past Jones’ 50% win record and give him the push. Useless manager.

Fuck, I’ve just seen the Everton result 😞 and dyche didn’t even have 6 weeks…
