ABK must be some sort of massive c-womble off the pitch as no manager wants him out there.

Is he joining the army?

It’s like the good ‘ol’ days of Burley and Puell team tombola selection.

Men against boys. Hardly a surprise.

He used to play alongside Glenn Cockerill so he's not completely naive to the world of football.

Because he is so fat he couldn't keep up with play. (apologies in advance to anyone with a BMI >25 who may take offence)

Same challenge with Fernandes which is why Downes has looked so ‘poor’ this season as he’s completely overrun with defensive duties. He needs help, either in personnel or structure.

Amen to that. It’s incredible how ‘good’ he’s become since he left! Genuine question to those saying he’s the solution, how much have you watched him this season? I’ve only seen the one game which was the derby with Utd which I watched in full. If he hadn’t been an ex-Saint I wouldn’t have known he was on the pitch. I get it that we seem somewhat short of DM’s if we’re going to be playing two and I appreciate my sample is only one game so what did I miss?

Yep. The fuckwittery of forum fans complaining about the actions of those at the game is another level of cockwombleness.

They’re all on the internet complaining

Would imagine it’s fairly standard practice that managers who achieve promotion automatically trigger a contract extension / review.

Yes, it seems Dave the taxi driver and Barry from the pub were wrong. The good ship RM sails on towards the rocks.

He’s been increasingly fractious in recent weeks when pressed on tactics and results. The dynamic is changing in that respect and there’s no doubt he’s feeling the pressure.

It was like watching a cat playing with a mouse.

Depends what the alternative(s) were that SR were prepared to bring in.

Don’t be mean. They were very brave.

Away from home matched 2nd of the league, no?

Just waiting for the first SS reporter to ask Pep if he believes he still has the support of the owners and whether he should resign.

He's seemingly doing OK in a team lying 15th in the Championship hence my comment wrt our predicament in the PL. I've not seen him this season other than the 1-0 defeat to Sheffield Utd where he was far from stand out. Actually, I wouldn't have noticed him at all if it wasn't for the SFC connection. I know we like to think all our best players are at other clubs on loan or the result of a cheap sale but he's not one of them. But I do agree with you in that he needs a run in a team and that's what he's getting at SW.

And he’s not good enough. He’s not going to bring anything to the team, as poor as it is.

I would think that pretty much every PSV manager since the mid-70’s has had that type of win ratio to be fair.

I’m glad it wasn’t just me who was wondering where the clamour for RvN had come from.

Is Shane Long available on a short-term contract?

Is he not part of the committee that is responsible for incoming players?
