Not just an inkling my friend. You just have to look at what's happening elsewhere to see how transfers can take place very quickly indeed when all parties are serious. You'd have thought a transfer fee of £143m would be the subject of weeks and weeks of bartering but no, it went through at the drop of a hat. The lack of activity here confirms one of two things, lack of intent or a useless effing negotiator at work. Surely spending £15/20m isn't that difficult.

Bloody hell the clown still hasn't been sacked and not a whisper of any incoming transfers. Is anybody surprised?

Nah! Reading too much into it. VVD wasn't a replacement for Lovren here.

How do I feel this morning as a fan? Another day of inactivity at SFC, no news, no sackings, no spending, no new players yet the same old company line bull**** from the Pitchside Clown .... It is any wonder we are all cynical about what's going on at SMS? Whether they like it or not we are stakeholders in this football club and without us they will die. Ignore us at your peril SFC.

Pellegrino says "What am I supposed to do with this hairdryer?"

Why don't we send him out on loan to Yeovil or Exeter?

Bit like your posts really. I try not to criticise other poster's opinions but your are becoming a bore on this subject so pleas give it a rest.

Stop playing the devil's advocate, the bloke is nothing more than a selfish, self-centred Rsole in my opinion whose only loyalty is to himself.

Waste of time, we're as good as down now and I'm an optimist! How can we possibly get the equivalent of 6 wins from the remaining fixtures when we've managed 4 all season. By all means have a go at me for being negative but please be realistic before you have a pop.

That was evident from Day 1 of his tenure here. Don't you know he has used corporate speak for so long that probably he actually believes his own bull**** now which is surely a sign of impending madness?

Too bloody right my friend. The bogs are an Effing disgrace. Except that it doesn't rain on your head they're not that much better than the ones up at the bloody Dell. No doubt if they spruce them up a bit we'll be charged a couple of quid to go in.... +VA effing T as they will claim to be providing a service!

...except when the board remuneration committee meet

LOL

Wow you must have been up all night writing that lot. The last thing on my mind last night was Saints or other posters on here. Life is out there!

A New Year and the manic depressives are out in force. Come on guys get a grip Bertie loves it here, the World Cup's a coming and no way is he going to miss his trip to Russia. Why would he leave on a wing, a prayer and a promise?

Nope, doesn't make sense to me even after reading it ten times. Early NYE celebrations under way?

Brilliant performance from Tadic. Redmond will find it difficult to oust Boufal now. Hoj slowly getting there. Some very good play but oh! how we need a natural goalscorer. We will not stay up if we cannot score goals.

For F sake try to be positive for once. You sound more and more like a grumpy old man who can see no good in anybody in a Saints shirt.

Really glad that we are no longer a selling club. Was getting really worried we might revert top type.

The league table does not lie and 4 wins from 19 matches is unacceptable.

What is Austin's conversion rate, 1 in 5, 1 in 10? Mr Pellegrino, if you have any self respect left please have the decency to step down now. I know you'll get compo if you are sacked but not if you resign which probably is the reason Reed hasn't sacked you already

The fans wanted change, they've got change. We will find out soon enough if this change proves beneficial or not. As others have pointed out Black seems to have had a track record of being associated with failure and maybe there is a problem with his coaching and he has been the makeweight to bring in somebody new? Maybe another of Pellegrino's old muckers? Seems an odd thing to have happened in isolation so chances are other things are afoot.

Perhaps he kept them totted up with a steady supply of single malts.

We need to keep ourselves well grounded as far as this young man is concerned. The Academy must be pretty desperate to produce a star to salvage what's left of its reputation but overhyping Sims and heaping impossible expectations on his young shoulders is not a very good idea at all. It may end only in tears if he fails to deliver which will not be fair on him at all. Young lads like Sims need to be protected and nurtured slowly not thrown in at the deep end without a life jacket.
