Absolutely, Mrs Hasenhuttl.

The Liverpool game at home at the end of last season, we were attacking them and the crowd were behind the team. We scored then sat back and wave after wave of Liverpool attacks happened and the crowd subdued. We all know how it played out, therein is the problem. Give the crowd something to get behind and they will. Offer up the dross we’ve become accustomed too and it it’s hard to watch with that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach. I’m guessing it being the fans fault saves Ralph blaming the players….

I hear the glazers might be in the market for a new team soon….

That was in November last year. Pretty sure he should have shouldered some of the blame from March onwards.

I’ve never understood this idea that if you sack the manager he gets the entirety of his contract settled. There will be break clauses and compensation penalties stipulated.

4 seasons of Ralphball could do that to people.

Perhaps we can use one the mancs sing to the scousers for our Ralph. Always the victim, it’s never your fault.

He won’t be gone before the Leeds game, but defeat in that and a negative reaction by the fans may see them pull the trigger then than wait any longer. SR should have got rid at the end of last season.

He won’t be the person to deliver it.

Thanks, just been in and done it. I genuinely thought it would be automatically deducted!

I’ve just looked, I’ve not had an email saying there’s been payment problems but they haven’t taken payment. Where did you go on your account to make manual payment?

He’s not up against much competition there though

We’d best never copy the design of any team that’s ever been relegated in case it jinxes us!

The bloke next to me, at one game last season, had one of those hotdogs at the start of the game and went and got another at half time. It smelt like he was eating horse manure in a bun.

I don’t want any Saints manager to fail. Ralph can be the nicest bloke in the world or the biggest tosser for all I care, it makes it harder to dislike him personally as he seems nice enough. I care about Saints, not Ralph’s ego. Yes he’s had a terrible hand with what he inherited and what he’s had funding wise to work with. That doesn’t change the fact he’s not got it as a manager. Coach perhaps.

Yeah, really. Irrational as that probably is and perhaps time has jaded just how bad my level of dislike was to the bloke, Hasenhuttl is up there. The 9-0’s, the record consecutive defeats, the constant excuses, the lack of any tactical nous… Perhaps an overreaction but I hate the bloke being saints manager at this moment in time. What will everyone’s memories be of Ralph’s legacy years down the line?

Quite simply, if he is there at the start of next season, I won’t be. I’ve got until the end of May to guarantee my ST seats for another year of Ralph. I think I’ll pass. I’m starting to despise him as much as Branfoot all those years ago. He kept us up on limited resources yada yada yada…. Branfoot was universally hated. Perhaps if he’d done the jazz hands nonsense our happy clappers would have been banging his drum. I don’t expect us to storm the league, just show a bit of balls when the brown stuff hits the fan. Oh and try and avoid relegation too.

We need better players and a new manager. He is the modern day tinker man when it comes to starting line ups, but statuesque when it comes to making changes before it’s too late during games. I just don’t think he has it in him to adapt, he just stands there looking like a rabbit in the headlights.

Has he not been sacked yet FFS!

On A, I wouldn’t want the club to give him the chance to waste another summer of transfers (or extending yet again, the contract of Long etc) on him. On B, be a waste of time as C would never happen. He’s too inflexible.

Historically, red and white has always been better than blue….

Probably when they play a team that wears a predominantly white top.

Leeds had a terrible injury crisis to a number of their main players, much like we suffered from last year. I gave Ralph the benefit of that for the drop off in form the final third of last season. This season Ralph hasn’t got that excuse yet the season is finishing exactly as last years did. For me, I’d replace him Ralph rather than waste another summer transfer window bringing in his style of player (ones that aren’t fighters or leaders) otherwise we’ll be having this same conversation next March/April time.

The seasons we got stuck with Lemina, Hoedt and Carillo would have skewed that then..
