Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd

Maybe he's going to bring him in to replace Eric Black?

Mancini or Hoddle would be my choice. People are even talking about having Pardew back. I think that's a step too far but at least he might be able to breath some passion into the players.

HE'S GOT TO GO!

I agree that we won't be sacking him. The problem is that he IS the issue. He simply doesn't know his best starting 11 or how to get the best out of the players.

The issue is we have a manager who keeps rotating and trying to play the same ****ing formation. He doesn't have a clue how to change things.

Yep. Had he not got us to the final it might be a different story. They'll not get rid of him now. :-(

That ****ing cup final is all that's keeping Puel in a job. The club needs to get rid, NOW!

Those words may well come back to haunt you!

I'll bet you a cheese sandwich that we're in one with or without Romeu. Just look at our recent form, and most of that was with VVD playing. The problem is with the manager and the way he insists on playing.

Funny. Other clubs seemed to find plenty of solutions and opportunities.

Nice one, Les. The club must have had a good idea that this was going to be the case and also sanctioned the sale of Fonte without having anyone lined up as a replacement. We can't beat teams in the bottom 4 and can't beat teams in the top 6. Looking at the remaining fixtures it's not looking very good is it?

On SSN now.

My tickets are in Club Wembley too. I was there for the JPT final. The talk about banning replica shirts is nonsense. There's were hundreds of us in there in Saints shirts.

He got away with so many a couple of season ago. There was a blatant one right in front of the Ref and I couldn't believe that he was still on the pitch. I remember watching games and thinking, give it two seasons and he'll be gifting penalties and picking up 1 or 2 red cards.

Don't worry. He's not going. I've had both of his tickets from him. ;-)

Got mine from Dave Bassett. :-)

Ultimately, running any business is a balancing act. However, I get the impression that there's some people taking out as much as they can as quickly as possible. I'm beginning to think that the 5 year plan was to get rich quickly. If so, they're doing a very good job.

Perhaps our's isn't either, but for different reasons... Spend too much, end up in the **** financially. / Don't invest, fail to compete with your rivals. Risk relegation and potentially end up in the **** financially. Just a thought.

Liverpool: Sakho's not available on loan. Palace sign Sakho on loan??? Our negotiation skills must be properly ****e!

Q. Les, are you a lying ****? A. No. I rest my case.

After tonight's performance and more ****ing nonsense from Les Reed I really couldn't give a toss about this signing. Hope he proves me wrong but 5 goals in 19 games suggests that he's about as good as Long, Redmond and J-Rod. With Puel's rotation system I can't see him banging them in week after week.

Yep. Shame it's taking some fans so long to realise. You'd have thought that the constant selling of players, appointing clueless Puel with his one dimensional tactics and seeing the way we now play football would have made people realise. Clearly not. Some people are easily misled.

Just the one at the moment. ;-)

Les will issue a statement shortly saying that despite the club's best attempts they have been unable to secure the targets that they had identified. You heard it here first folks.

Dare I say it, I wouldn't even have him here for the final. He certainly brought himself some time by somehow getting us there, but I honestly believe our best chance of beating Utd involves a new manager who can breath some life and creativity into the team and try and finish the season on a positive note and avoid a relegation battle. Should we end up down there I don't see Puel being the man to dig us out. Not when we're unable to beat the bottom teams.
