Dress it up any way you want, Duncan. It was pure and utter incompetence to go up there blabbing his mouth knowing full well their CEO is on the EFL board and Gibson does not let things lie. Any ignorance about the latter does not wash I'm afraid.
It’s inexcusable and he has to go.
You put yourself at an immediate disadvantage when you get promoted as we found out last time having to spend the best part of £40m on THB and Downes just to stand still.
I don’t disagree, but he also brought this club, players and fans together more than anyone has done since Nigel Adkins* and for that I’d give him a second chance.
*winning games of football helps a lot obviously.
As much as I’m in the ‘keep Tonda if we can’ camp, I’m not sure that’s strictly true when Scott Parker is available*
*not for long if West Ham get him.
And getting most of the squad bought before the last few days of the transfer window would be nice too.
I have a feeling it’ll be a similar summer to last year though. Saints will hold out for as much money as possible for those that inevitably will want out and/or Prem football. Which means we’ll have a makeshift squad until September.
Fucking brilliant when we start on -4.
Errrrr, no!
Take his point per game and extrapolate that across an entire season (94) and it’s not even in the top 10 points hauls in a championship season.
