Gloucester Saint

That’d be his revenge - we’d never get any of our tickets in the post

It definitely did. Some gate figures on this article to back it up http://www.afcbournemouth-mad.co.uk/feat/ed13/memories_of_dorchester_21374/index.shtml https://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/5399356.magpies-ground-share-is-backed/ https://www.footballgroundmap.com/ground/avenue-stadium/dorchester-town

Ground shared with Dorchester when they redid it last time. Lovely for a Southern League ground but only holds 6k. Pompey need the rental income though…can’t be Exeter as not enough seats and Plymouth too far.

He’s a political worm like Les Reed was. Remember Reed at a fans forum shamelessly saying Guido Carrillo would return from loan and be a great asset in the PL to howls of laughter from the audience and the other panel members avoiding rolling their eyes. They genuinely believe they are Teflon and I’d bet he’s giving it large around the SR boardroom about Goztepe’s league position and how it’s all his great work. We’ve read enough about his role at Brentford but their fans burst that bubble in more ways than one when they visited recently.

Not acceptable behaviour. It’s human nature to think it, but in public roles it’s stupid to have these things written in chat forums. The lessons were there from the previous shambles with their What’s App, so to repeat those mistakes with the contempt, they need to take a long look in the mirror. And not take a role in public or civic life.

£15m is still close to the record Championship transfer fee which was Ruben Neves at Wolves (worth every penny) at £15.8m, so if Saints needed to get rid to strengthen elsewhere he’d probably be going there at a loss of some description.

I agree with your post in the main, we saw that at Hillsborough, and he won’t be cutting his pay by 75% next season to re-join us. Would definitely need pace and power around him if he did, which is the priority to get into the core of the spine over the summer.

That’s Foley’s influence (and investment). Very different to their previous PL spell and a certain East Hants club’s spell.

The prick (Rasmus) has a face like a smacked arse and that was even before the game started. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’d been informed that Spores now controls recruitment for SR and that he now has the everyday management of Goztepe in the main.

He takes the blade with trembling hands, can Spores make the Final Cut (of all the weak shit in the squad)!

Yep, we need pace and raw physical power. Love JWP but far too many lightweight players already.

That’s what eight years of dreadful ownership, three managers (Pellegrino, Jones and Martin) worse than Ian Branfoot, pathetic scouting and laziness does to an established mid-table PL club. It’s a wonder the damage is even worse tbh, if we’d lost the Swansea game in 2018 we could well be playing Bromley and Morecambe by now, if we existed at all. Bournemouth are like watching us under Pochettino, perhaps not quite Koeman level. Eg strong, quick, pressing and counter attacking side who can cause the very best in the PL problems. If we get away with 1-4 we’re fortunate! On a different level, that’s where this summer’s recruitment needs to go 100% - quick, strong athletic units. We can add a couple of more creative midfielders near the end of the window but no more weaklings, midgets or Man City academy cast offs for the foreseeable. If they don’t look scary, don’t sign them.

The time is gone, The Season’s over Thought we’d something more to say

The market is quite niche - parachute clubs or the odd club with serious backing coming up from League 1 (Bham, maybe Wrexham). WBA already enjoying AA but wages of £65k pw rumoured even with a 40% reduction that’s still beyond most Champ clubs to attempt to make permanent. And Downes only recently went for £18m. Only way I can see is if Ipswich stay up and pay Saints what he cost from West Ham. Otherwise as you say, it’ll be about knuckling down, getting fitter and re-integrating.
