Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd

I think it made a huge difference! Ultimately, it got him out and led to Markus taking over.

Fo no other reason than to annoy the fuck out of you! 😂

In all honestly, I’m beyond caring. if we had a board with ambition and showed that they know what theyre doing then I’d be optimistic. However, I’m expecting another very average appointment that will no doubt include Adam Lallana as part of the set up. My money is on Danny Rohl.

You only had to look at his track record to see that it was a bizzare appointment that lacked any ambition. If that was the best option (which it wasn't at the time) then they should have just kept RM.

Thank God for that. Hate to say it but I did try and warn you when he was appointed. As usual, I was met with the same old response from the usual mob. I was aware of Juric when he was linked with Saints in the past. I'd done my homework and translated many comments about him from supporters of his past clubs, and news articles about his poor conduct and bad relationships with players. There's plenty of material out there and very little of it is positive. If I was able to find out so much about him then how did our joke of a board not have alarm bells ringing? The signs were there to see but a collection of idiots still went ahead and gave him the job. I don't know why I'm surprised really. They're the same idiots who employed Nathan Jones and Russell Martin.

Noddy and soft. Fans of many other clubs wouldn't stand for the crap we've endured.

Look at what Moyes has done at Everton. Thats the difference a manager makes, even when your players are supposedly shit. A proper manager would get every one of those players performing.

The manager is there to motivate and dictate the style of play. Our manager (and I use that term very loosely) hasn't motivated anybody and clearly doesn't know what he's doing when it comes to a style of play. Russell Martin lost his job because he refused to.change his ways but at least he had a system. This prick hasn't got a bloody clue. Just look at the defence and midfield tonight against Chelsea. He's taken the group backwards. How can you expect players to perform when they're given Ivan Juric as a manager?

Just fuck off. They've not got a clue. Just look at the managerial appointments. Says it all.

If I were Ivan Juric, which thank God I'm not, I'd be man enough to have my notice on the desk in the morning and I'd walk away insisting that the club don't pay up my contract. If he had any integrity that's what he'd do.

What do you expect? If you were a player and you had to go to work every day knowing that Ivan Juric was going to be there, what would you do? You'd switch off. His appointment did nothing for the players. Imagine knowing you were going to get a new manager at work and then coming in to find him there - A relatively unknown Croatian with a bad reputation for man management. His appointment shows no inspiration. He hasn't brought the group closer together, he's divided it further. He has to go. The damage he's doing is going to impact the club for years. Saints won't be in a position to compete in The Championship next season. Do you think Shea Charles and Ronnie Edwardd will want to come back to this when they're both very settled elsewhere and playing good football. The job of a manager is to motivate the players. You can't expect them to perform if they're being led by a clown.

Juric, you clueless wanker. If you've got anything about you then you'll walk into St. Mary's tomorrow morning and put your notice on the desk. I only say this because the board haven't got the bollocks to sack you. In the short time you've been at the club you've shown nothing to make anyone think that you capable of managing this team. You've upset the players to the point that they've had to draft in the U-21 manager to try and patch things up and act as a mediator. Just fuck off.

It's got 8-0 written all over it. Would be surprised if Chelsea hit double figures tonight. What a bloody joke. 3CB's on the bench while the defence was clearly selected by picking numbers from a hat.

Blah, blah, blah. Dress it up how you like. The reality is that Juric is a clueless prick. We're worse under him that with Martin and that's saying something. The board had an oportunit to go out and get a manager who had managed in the Prem and they went and got Juric. SR are a bunch of c***s and they've destroyed the club. Next season will be just as big a disater as this one.

Get Rusk in charge now. Did ok against Liverpool in the cup and got us a point against Fulham. That's a far more impressive points ratio than Juric. 😂

3 points since he's been here! When I saw him linked with the job I started digging and I couldn't find much that was positive. I posted my concerns here and was met with the usual abuse. "I bet you'd never heard of him before" Well, actually, I had. His name came up in the past so I'd already done some research. It wasn't hard to find out that he had fractious relationships at all of the clubs he'd been at. He was filmed fighting with a club owner in a car park, ffs. There were a couple of Italian press articles that I found which were very damning. Then there was also the very negative material from the fans on the forums - Thank God for Google translate. For some reason our board seems to be impressed by absolute pricks. Either that of they just don't want to spend the money on paying for someone who knows what they're doing. Next season is going to be another complete car crash.

Here's a novel idea. Why don't the fans stay in the ground at full time and make their feelings really known. Show the board that we're not taking any more of this shit. Nothing will will change while the fans keep turning up and doing nothing!

The bigger problem is yet to come. This won't be like th last time Saints went down. The clear out will be massive and there will be another new manager who has to try and assemble a brand new squad. Saints will be lucky to finish in the top half of the Champuonship next season. The club is a complete joke.

Nice to see that our fans are finally realising that the board employed a fuckwit who is equally as clueless as the departing manager. You only had to translate some of the press reports about Juric to see that he was never going to be the solution. Shame that the board clearly didn't bother to do the most basic research.

He's not the problem, the manager is. Do some homework. Juric has a reputation for poor relationships with his players. When Juric has gone I think you'll find most of the current squad will open up about how unliked he really was.

Just spoken to a client in work who is a QPR fan. He was obviously happy with their result last night. I asked about Edwards. His response.... "What a player. Wouldn't be surprised if he gets player of the season. Apparently he has said he wants a permanent move and doesn't want to go back to Saints." Brilliant. :-/

Didn't want him, not with his reputation for poor relationships with players, which now seems to be rearing it's ugly head. I dont understand the logic in employing a manager who probably won't be our manager next season. And so it starts again, the search for a manager who can get Saints promoted, convince the likes of Shea Charles and Ronnie Edwards that they have a future at Saints and also build a new team. I'd be surprised if Saints finish in the top half of the championship.next season.

Said to my work colleague when we were 2-0 up, if we don't get three points after being 2-0 up then RM has got to go. 😳

I've said this for years. Unless you're a top 6 team then it's pointless. The other teams are only there to make the numbers up. Occasionally, you'll get a team like Villa or Newcastle have a few good seasons but you're never going to see the likes of Saints, Forest, WHU, etc. regularly finishing in the top 6. The Championship has 2 massive problems. 1. If you do well you end up promoted into the Prem. 2. The playoffs - What's the point in promoting a team that finished 4th, 5th or 6th, (clearly well off the pace) into a league above?

Compare our team to Luton Town last season. With the exception of Ross Barkley you'd say that Saints have better players in every position. Luton looked like they had some fight in them. Saints don't. The reason for that that comes down to one man, the manager. Russell has already shown that he doesn't know how to adapt or change the system. The board needs to act quickly or we'll be 10 games in with 1 point.
