I’ll get the coffin ready for the march

It is real but parents don’t help. Moaning about it being the same thing every week. At the Clifford thing he did it was the same structure each week. They’d start of with skills, lots of touches, then they’d do a copying game where the coach would do something and the kids would copy it, when they couldn’t do it the kids sat down last kid still going was the winner, individual challenges where they were all working on their personal challenge which was anything from 5 kicks for a behind to 200 left rights or 100 insides or outsides etc for the ones advanced, when they get through their series of challenges they get a certificate and picture in the weekly newsletter. Then it was small sided games for the last 20 minutes never anymore than 5 side. I thought it was brilliant and you could really see the progress but lots of parents moaned it was the same thing, paying for their kid to watch other people do stuff (from the ones whose kids were crap at the copying game it only lasted a few minutes) boring, just keep ups etc. The ones who stick at it have a class first touch and movement but of course the ones that dont get it just want to see speed, power, dribbling, excitement, every session to be like an instagram highlight reel, for their kid to be brilliant now now now with the coach waving a magic wand etc not long term results building the foundations basic skills and muscle memory which that does. Some of them have such a weird attitude expect their kid to be amazing after a few sessions and if they’re not it’s the coaches fault. They expect progressing to Instant and linear and don’t seem to get it’s not a straight line of week on week progress all the way to premier league. It’s weird

I’m busy furiously typing away a strongly worded email about the ASSET STRIPPING and LIES going on inside the walls of St Mary’s. I’ll share it with the echo and on here when done. The duty of every fan is to protect their club from its owners

Is it time for an open letter to the echo yet?

On a seperate note to saints saviniho underwhelming at Man City who signed him for £30m going to Spurs for nearly 3 times that. Ridiculous

Bournemouth, Brighton, Brentford, Palace, Fulham, Forest all clubs we were miles ahead of a few years ago now a complete 180.

Especially as mongboard intelligence has told us in the past we can only work on one deal at a time

Absolutely he’s given us 3 good years, been a model pro so all the best to the lad. Now over to Spoars to make sure we use the money well and get as much as we can

Yep Villa is a great move for him. Crazy to think that only a short time ago there wasn’t much between the club yet now it’s a big step up for many reasons and we’re signing players they don’t want

They’ll probably get him them. They can afford the fee, it’s a good move for THB and we’ve seen a bit of movement between the two clubs recently so got a good relationship with them you’d think.

Yeah we don’t need players like that. We want good looking players. Don’t want my team represented by people who look like that

I can’t comment on villas as we’ve always done hotels but as above Sorrento is a great place to explore the area which is magnificent. You’ve got capri, Ischia as island you can visit from easily. Positano, Ravello and Amalfi on the coast which are stunning and the road route down there is incredible. Then you’ve got Pompei, Herkilonium as must view visits. Naples is quite a rough city but interesting to visit. The food and wine is off Scale good. don’t waste your money on any all inclusive do B&B or half board centre of Sorrento and eat out when you can. and if you’re into clothes then take an empty credit card some of the shirts, trousers and knitwear are wonderful. I bought a few bits. Shirts handmade in Naples which are a quality you don’t get here. We also found a great handbag shop, the missus has always liked a mulberry but we found a place which she now prefers which is a fraction of the price bags also made locally

Let’s remember they also signed him for £25m when we desperately needed a decent attacker

He actually makes some decent points just because some don’t like them

No need. We’re going to train the new comers not to be rapists and nonces. Imagine how much they’ve developed as people just by reading that document. Phase two of don’t stab, steal or attack people must minding their own business will tell ‘um!
