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.

I wouldn’t bother trying to educate pork . He’d take a manager beating Morecambe 2-1 over a manager losing 2-1 to Liverpool I expect.

I also said immediately after GON had been interviewed on Friday that he’d ruled himself out of the job even before Saturday as he was aware of the likely backlash but wanted to see what the club felt about it. Both were nervous about it so they mutually agreed to go no further. Funny how you’re the only one reacting negatively to another fan passing on what they know due to their contacts. Bizarre behaviour like a child who doesn’t want anyone else knowing more than him. I don’t know who our other options are, neither does anyone else with inside contacts. Funny that, isn’t it? Because the club has kept that all Very tightly behind closed doors. The GON link was leaked because he personally told some media reporters he’d been interviewed. The club have kept the rest of their dealings strictly private.

Still want to call this bullshit fella? You seemed pretty quick to try to discredit it.

Your last sentence I feel is the main reason for the outrage. We’ve been here before

It makes sense now as to why he was appointed and why he was keen to come on board, because he’s cut from the same cloth as the owners - meaning he’s a complete fucking clown

🤣🤣🤣fuck about , I knew we had some clueless fans but this takes the piss, all on the basis of 2 wins against two very poor sides, with a squad worth 10 times the value of both, whilst being battered for the final 20 mins at QPR and hanging on pathetically for dear life with zero plan, and suddenly the man who’s never been a manager before is the best option above those other names, you couldn’t make this up. I’ll give it to SR , they have definitely picked the right club to pull the wool over the fans eyes with how thick and easily pleased some of ours are.

Jesus Christ

Great summing up of RM, my feelings on him mirror this.

Barely anyone here wanted Ings or Bamford at this current time, both are way past their best and wont have a major impact for Sheff Utd. Think that’s obvious to most people, especially given that it appears that no one else wanted Bamford

Time to give this chump both barrels at games if he appoints Eckert. This basically shows that he has no idea what he’s doing, appointing an inexperienced manager when he didn’t need to , in Still, then just giving the job to an even younger and inexperienced coach who’s never been a manager, within a few months when his original appointment turned out to be yet another fuck up. It’s an absolute shambles and that’s before you even get into the playing side of things with the completely neglected spine of our team, barring midfield .

If he’s appointed it’s surely time for the fanbase to properly turn. This is a total pisstake

Yep , this has already started happening. Very convenient that both Blackmore and House have both started posting subtly positive pieces about Eckert and saying the club are in no rush. It’s almost as if the club are using them as a propaganda mouthpiece….,

Being that you refuse to hear any criticism against Bazunu, Could you explain what attributes he has has that make him better than McCarthy? I’ll start - his kicking. Anything else? I’m starting to think you’re either a personal friend or related to him. Because anyone with eyes who doesn’t have a personal connection to him, can see he’s the worst goalkeeper to ever have played for Saints, particularly for the number of games he’s played.

There’s already a few on this new manager poll on this very site- 6 votes for Eckert , have a look. Several comments on X and various Facebook groups too. I know that doesn’t mean a lot in the scheme of things but they are there.

Totally agree however we already have had a few very easily pleased fans clearly lacking in the braincell department who now want Eckert appointed based on these last 2 wins, that’s how narrow minded and fickle some people are. I’ve seen a fair bit on social media saying give him the job. Spors will need no encouragement to appoint him, if he feels there’s a wave of support behind Eckert. Blows my mind that someone can come in, face 2 pretty awful sides, change nothing regarding the shape or formation, scrape 2 unconvincing wins simply due to us having better players , and suddenly he’s the best man for the job according to some people, even over and above managers who’ve overseen hundreds of games at the top level. Laughable stuff
