Also these two are having a bit of a giggle as if he’s just let one rip. If he has a flatulence problem that’s hardly going to inspire confidence in the players.

I haven’t seen anyone list Tuchel as a possibility, yet have seen plenty saying “Those suggesting Tuchel need a reality check” or similar. 🤨 So while we’re at it, all of you who keep saying we should go for Pep, give your damn heads a wobble.

Sheer incompetence by SR to give him so much time and allow him to virtually relegate us. We may not be that far adrift but looking at the other sides around us there just isn’t enough dross for us to overtake. Bournemouth will go. Leeds have at times looked excellent and played brilliantly against Utd, may have enough. Dyche surely won’t take Everton down, West Ham have so much quality in their team. Who else is there? Rasmus you tit.

Bringing back some good memories, this thread. Our time in League 1 and The Championship was enjoyable.

You said, and I quote "To have to firefight from the first minute made a difficult job impossible." Nobody gave him abuse at the stadium early on (as far as I know), there were no Jones Out chants, all we've been able to find is some people on an internet forum thinking he wasn't the right man for the job. If that proved to make his job difficult or impossible then he's absolutely the worst man for the job. No decent, self-respecting football manager would say that some negative comments on an internet forum makes their job difficult to impossible. He wouldn't even last at board room level at a mid-sized paper merchants if internet comments made him struggle to do his job properly. Thankfully for NJ though I don't see him complaining about the nasty men on SaintsWeb, so I think you're just fighting a battle for him that he doesn't need or wish you to fight.

So some negative comments on a fans forum affected Nathan Jones' performance and was a significant part in his failure here? Then that even further proves he was the wrong man for the job. Deary me.

I know people don't like Alex Crook, but I don't see much wrong with what he says here about NJ. https://youtu.be/lgBAWotN7hQ?t=2429

I thought he was a dodgy appointment, personally. Looked the cheap option and has proved to be. However, he had my support and he had a fair chance. I don’t think anyone booed him or sang negatively about him from the off.

No. Fans made up their minds that he was crap after we performed dreadfully against Lincoln, lost to Brighton, Fulham and Forest. We showed zero improvement from Ralph and actually looked far, far worse under him. Saints fans aren’t an unfair bunch. Overall we are extremely patient. But we believed what we saw, and made our minds up based on evidence. He stood a chance. He had a great chance, especially having a mini-preseason during the WC. He had every chance and he blew it.

And if that is the case, who the f*** told him not to play like that in future?

Best question was definitely the one about Wrexham. Those two Hollywood stars take selfies with their fans apparently, and we need more of that. Much more. Sort it out Sport Republic.

Fans Forum Unnecessary or Moronic Questions Bingo 1. Beer in the concourse 2. Moving away fans to Itchen corner 3. Anything about the women's team 4. Train station behind the Kingsland What have I missed?

"With the greatest respect they've been losing and conceding goals here for a year, long before I got here. At Luton town we didn't concede goals we got balls into the box, were aggressive, high xG, we were up there with the best in Europe. You'll see that team next month, you'll see it."

He/she is a family member. Also can we change the thread title? He's not gone yet.

Superb, superb 🤣 I think the lady consoling the other lass should have said “It’s ok, we’ve got another light show next week”.

Not surprised in the slightest. Pretty happy that I don't even need to watch the 2nd half and can just enjoy a bagel, a beer and play with the ankle biters.

Oh it's not even close. Ely is a disgrace, Redmond was frustrating but offered something.

Some on this place still defend Moi

Which one working best for you early on?

I do miss our old manager Jan Portier Fiat

I remember chuckling at Fulham spending £100m a few years ago and going straight back down. If we go down after spending that much it'll be... well, what's the word? Help anyone?

Haha that first is funny, but we all know Che would have missed those first two. Second one he composed himself to put the rebound away. Penalty was standard. Welcome aboard please please be good.

Jumping the gun? I know these threads should ideally start with “Surely deserves his own thread now as Fabriano Romano has tweeted…” but this fella is apparently reputable too.

Beat me to it.
