Why would you put aside the fact that he's said he's a pompey fan, he's said their result is the first he looks for, he's said that it's his dream to manage them one day and they hold him up as a legend. Do you really want to go into a derby at fratton with someone that's said that as our manager?

It's completely embarrassing and plays to the egos of the poor sods on it. I actually think these things genuinely show the contempt that football clubs have for their fans, they think so little of us that they assume they can get away with a pat on the head and subdue the entire fanbase. Which to be fair is probably actually true now, because gone are the days of the difficult cunts that held the club to account like we used to have with SISA. Say what you like about Illingsworth, Perry etc. they gave a shit about Saints & Southampton and they did something about it even if it pissed off the club (which it often did) and risked them getting banned from the ground (which it sometimes did). This modern lot just suck up instead as if it'll somehow make them important/famous

The Fan Advisory Board is something each club needs to have based on the football league charter, it has absolutely zero power and is a marketing piece for the club/league. It's also fucking useless as these are the people that the club "consulted" on the god awful northam wall bollocks because they knew they'd get no pushback

Surely you're not talking about the Russian arms dealer nicknamed the merchant of death? I thought he was in prison in the US for supplying weapons to terrorists?

I think the original poster is spot on but my choice is to switch to watching the Baller League instead because those guys COOK! And it's not that deep

No playbook. No five pledges. No wonder we're going to shit. It would appear that the Southampton DNA is being unable to finish no matter what part of the club it is.

Funny isn't it @Turkish how when the COT alluded to this in the summer it was roundly mocked 👀

Gary O'Neil can fuck off, dirty skate bastard. Saying that we all know if they do sack Still (and i'm not convinced they will) it won't be anyone any of us have mentioned here, and definitely won't be someone who actually knows the championship. It'll be another "leftfield" appointment based on data and stats as they try and look clever but are actually fucking dinlows.

Sport Republic have tried hipster managers with Martin, long ball merchants in Jones and now a games workshop geek who's never played the game, none of which have worked. So given that i reckon the smart money is on Ramus' suggesting the next best manager is for the team to be picked by fans votes on social media.

Now seems the perfect time to release some 3d renders of an expanded St Mary's including a monkey chicken petting zoo and a new stadium for the women's team that's bigger than the ground for the men's team. WE MARCH TOWARDS INFRASTRUCTURE!

We've gone from struggling but staying up under Gao, to two relegations, five managers, and now four wins in 49 league games under sport republic. In times gone by there would be a fucking mutiny going on about how they're running the club, but we’ve got too many hipster out of town fans who want to be invited to the next club event so they can plaster their gormless faces on social media so don't want to challenge those who own us. What we need is more of the nasty old mushes we had back in the Branfoot and Lowe days to put some pressure on the cunts who own us, and an organised attempt to actually let them know that it's not even fucking close to good enough. But I'm not sure that that's what the modern generation want anymore, they're just happy we have the Northam “wall”, level 1 climbing wall, and £7.20 pints in the fan gulags.

The Journo, Still or both? Tbf we seem to attract weird journo's round the club these days who seem obsessed with cosying up to our "influencer" type freaks who plaster their faces on social media. Gone are the days of decent reporters like Graham Hiley who actually realised their job was to report on the club and get out of the way of the story. But maybe that says more about modern media than anything? It's also performance art "look at me" bollocks now.

Can i suggest a new title of, The squinnying about tickets thread?

Always annoyed the shit out of me that we just re-used the redomond song for KWP, even more so because my group were trying to get Prince's Raspberry Beret used for him instead. Then again it was original so had no fucking chance of catching. That Lemina one made me laugh, think we played Watford at st marys and they were singing it about one of their players, the very next game it was lifted and ripped off word for word for Lemina by our dins. We genuinely have one of the least creative fanbases in the game, god knows why but they can't sing anything unless it's a 100miles an hour, nicked from another club and/or mentions the blue few

Technically yeah but he'd often "drift" out to the left wing to launch an opposition player into the east stand benches, so that counts right?
