Someone tactically flexible. No point being the Barcelona of the Championship if you are going to be complete horseshit in the Prem because your manager just thinks he’ll replicate the same form and results.

Voted for Lallana. Thought when we signed him there may have been a bit left in his legs and his experience may prove to be a master stroke. How completely and utterly wrong I was. Total waste of time.

Another awful, bizarre and pointless hire by the clowns at Sport Republic. I almost feel sorry for Juric. Not his fault he was offered the job but he was out of his depth from day 1. Can't wait to see what next avantgarde appointment out of the left-field they decide to bring in next.

Against a Palace side who in league terms are well and truly already on the beach. Keeping their powder dry for the cup.

This cunt has got to go. Wolves at home and he’s playing 5 at the back with no recognised striker up top. Clueless. Kudos to SR, another gem of a hire 👌🏻

Yeah maybe but I know who I’d rather give £40m to to bring in 2 players in January and it’s not Nathan Jones.

Blimey, we signed AA in August 2021. Time flies when you are watching complete shit.

SR bought Saints in Jan 2022. They sacked Ralph in November 2022 and then signed Tall Pall and Sulemana in the Jan transfer window just after. My point is, there was money to back Ralph but instead they decided to sack him and give Nathan f*cking Jones the best part of £40m to piss up a wall. A luxury that a much more capable manager in Ralph was never afforded.

Of course we could afford it. Just 6 months later we spaffed about £40m on Sulemana and Onuachu.

None of them. I think I genuinely mean that too. Realistically, there is a player in Fernandes but he will want out the minute the season is over and I fully understand that. KWP has wanted out for a couple of years and I can't really blame him. No way he's signing a new contract here. If we can get our money back on THB or potentially a small profit I'd drive the bloke there myself. On reflection, I'd keep Ramsdale but I'd be astounded if he didn't have some sort of release clause/fee worked into his transfer here. His agent wants shooting if he hasn't. Dibling is a prospect but thats all he is. He shouldn't be a guaranteed starter. He still needs to be managed and learn the game. Tries far too much stuff. If we can get a fee north of £35m, that money can be put to better use bringing in 3 or 4 experienced/professional heads to change the culture of the club. Every one else can get fucked.

We are losing every week handsomely. I think its a pretty valid conclusion to reach don't you?

Feel sorry for the bloke in many ways. He's walked into a complete shitshow and a squad full of players who aren't of the required level, irrespective of the formation or tactics selected. I just cant help feel that it would be a huge mistake to let him continue at the helm next season. He needs to go the minute the final whistle of the last game of the season is blown. With that said, I'm fully expecting Sports Republic in their infinite wisdom to double down on him and award him a 5 year deal before spaffing our entire parachute payment on yet more avant-garde shit from the continent to come and sit on our bench.

He made some terrible choices following his stint as Saints which massively stagnated his career. If he has waited a little longer and chose a better club than Reading at the time, who knows what was possible. A fantastic servant to the club in his time here and a thoroughly nice bloke but lets be honest, he benefitted hugely from the resources available to him at the time and the fact we were a big fish in a small, League One shaped pond with a project that saw players like Fonte happy to drop a division to join. Not to mention resources already at the club like Lallana and Schneiderlin. Sometimes best to leave things in the past though and cling on to the happy memories of them than ruin them with almost certain failure this time by bringing him back.

Feel sorry for the non-playing staff but they've had it very good for a number of years and it can happen to employees of any other company type so I won't lose any sleep over it. I have to laugh when Rio Ferdinand complains about how unfair it all is when a few years ago he was flippantly saying Newcastle fans should be grateful for how Mike Ashley ran Newcastle.

He's gone completely Mike Ashley. And I've got all the time in the world for it.
