Yeah, there’s no way that side is getting beaten is there

Don’t know about you but even before he joined the club I’d have wanted us to appoint him this season before Still was given the job. Glad the club have finally seen sense.

They also wrote off last season from around October onwards. So that’s 2 in row they’ve thrown the towel in before Christmas. Exciting times

Funny we’ve not heard too much about this lately. Which is a shame because I’m interested to hear how the benefits of a multi club model incorporate two relegations in the first 4 years followed by a bottom half placing in the championship midway through the 5th. Will be interesting to learn a thing or two about the multi club model being beneficial to us, as i am clearly missing something

Quite. Still showing arrogance and considering certain fairly competent managers as beneath them, I suspect, despite the complete pigs ear they’ve made of running our club.

I explained that in my comment afterwards

It does amuse me that even after several years of blatant and unmitigated failure and utterly disastrous decisions as our owners, we still have a portion of fans agreeing and lapping up decisions being made at the helm of this club, some people will agree with anything they do. They could stick a dog turd in as manager and some people would write a paragraph or two of how they can see the reasoning behind it.

Can you point me in the direction of their proven history of “waiting and then getting the best candidate”?

The thing that gets me (and yes I’m aware that the clubs marketing department wouldn’t be doing their job if they didn’t advertise half season tickets) is this; just how many people who didn’t originally get a season ticket in the summer, having witnessed the absolute cluster the club have made of things in these first few months….are thinking “oh yes I must get a half season ticket now”. The prognosis now for this season is far worse than it was in the summer.

Ah, that’s ok then. What a relief. So you’re ok with how this clubs being run are you? Because going by your comment, you’re seeing it as the norm , being that the vast majority of fans feel the same about their club.

This club is, and always has been, too big for them. They’ve not got a fucking clue what they’re doing and they reinforce this with every managerial decision, transfer window, etc etc.

Got my email today. Don’t delay, get yours now. Think I’ll give this a miss to be honest . Comedy timing though , plugging half season tickets while bumbling around with no plan on who to employ as first team manager with the club just above the drop zone. Classic stuff

At least this shit show is saving me a lot of money over the Christmas period, as I’m not spending any money on going to watch the club under this current shambolic stewardship. Usually it would be a wrench not going, but it’s a fairly easy decision currently under these complete piss takers.

You forgot to say you’re a long time lurker and have just decided to sign up to post this.

Don’t forget Baz in goal

Yeah, you’re convincing me more and more every time you post, that you’re a club PR plant

Can you explain why you think the club should give Eckert the job ? After all, you’ve voted for him in the poll. You obviously really believe in him to the point that after supposed years of viewing this forum silently, you’ve now joined up to champion his case. That’s pretty stoic support and something you obviously feel very strongly about that he should be given the job over any other manager anywhere, despite him never managing at senior level before. I’d be very interested to hear the viewpoint from “just another no nothing fan”, which you keep insisting you are.

That’s literally your argument for what I’ve posted? That’s all you took from it? At Blackburn I don’t remember us spending the entire final 20 minutes kicking the ball anywhere and barely able to get out of our own box, let alone our half. It was poor yes but QPR was unbelievable, it looked like we had 10 men at the Etihad or Anfield, we certainly treated QPR as if they were teams like that , the way we had nothing other than aimless booting the ball anywhere with no outlet or plan.

Ok well let’s look at the evidence to date, against QPR we were utterly crap, we had 2 shots on target in the entire game and were bailed out by scienza scoring a worldy. The final 20 mins after we conceded was the single worst piece of game management I’ve ever seen from a saints side. The only other piece of evidence we have is a match at home to a bankrupt club who have no players and are rock bottom even without their huge points deduction, in which we were gifted the first goal and generally won thanks to the terrible standard of the opposition. So let’s have some realism here. Had he played 2 sides in the top half we’d almost certainly have got beaten in both games playing the way we did, or at the very best, 1 point. And let’s not get started on him bringing Bazunu back into the side based on “a feeling”

So you’ve read this forum for years apparently, yet through everything, promotion and relegations, you’ve never been compelled to post until now when there’s a debate on the new manager, and you’ve felt so strongly about this that you’ve signed up and the first thing you’ve done is to cast your vote for Eckert on the poll. Literally the first thing you did at the very same time as writing your first post. Stop taking fans for fools.

The extreme likelihood is, he isn’t about to turn our season around so that we start beating the better sides in the league , of which all 3 of our next opponents fall into that bracket. And everyone can see this eventuality approaching fast. Things will then become even more toxic because he’s shown nothing to suggest he’s suddenly going to improve us or do anything vastly different to still. In my opinion a midtable finish at best will be the outcome with TE in charge. It’s just more of the same old SR dictated dross

Whats your preference out of interest? You seem to be leaning towards keeping Eckert on. Care to explain why?

Thanks for that Johannes.

Nah, tonda is the best we can hope for now. Just ask some of the geniuses here. It’s almost like SR are a cult and people are being brainwashed into agreeing that the decision they’re about to make is actually the best we can hope for. Baffling stuff

Tell me what’s bullshit about what I’ve said ? Calling me out? No wonder you’re one of the biggest Laughing stocks on this site.
