Pochetinno indeed made a huge impact when he arrived. But he inherited a squad that had 2 back to back promotions and wasn’t doing to bad in the league. Still has inherited the second worst squad in premier league history. That said he now has the players he wants and the results have to start coming in the next weeks.

Missed the first 15 minutes but wish I had missed the full 90. It was so frustrating watching us and seeing the lame attacks. I like Still and really hope it’s works out, but he made some crucial mistakes today. Should have changed the formation in the first half as it was obvious it wasn’t working. Brought the subs on to late for them to make a impact and playing this way he should have started with Stewart as a target point. Let’s hope next match will be better when all players have trained together as Jander and Scienza look like good additions.

All set and ready here, walked the dog, table set, girlfriend has her nun costume on, now all I need is a good livestream. To everyone in the stadium, make us proud and everyone watching from wherever you are, let’s beat the Skates. COYRs

My ITK contact just texted me that Scienza chose us over Paris after reading the comments in this thread how shit Paris is.

Spertsyan has 9 letters in his name, does that make him the 9th signing?

What an absolute waste of talent. Could have been a good Premier League defender but for his attitude, assuming it’s his attitude.

We’ve had Shields, Wilcox, Spors and whoever did the transfers between their appointments, and all make similar mistakes in going for cheap talent instead of proven players. When you look at when we went down to league 1 in 2009 we did a good job in recruiting (yes not every player was a hit). We bought the league top scorer (Lambert), a proven defender (Jaiidi), Hammond, convinced Fonte to drop a league and built a team of experienced along with young talents like Lallana and Schneiderlin. Resulting in promotions and the best time I had in supporting Saints (started supporting in 2002).

Don’t know, possibly the board and whoever is part of it. It’s just strange that we’ve had different directors of football and all seem to make the same mistakes.

I am under the impression that Spors doesn’t have free rein of who he wants to buy, but has been given a profile of players he should look for. You don’t have to be a football expert to conclude that to get promoted you look at the best players in the league for the core of the squad and maybe a few young talents to develop. Like we did in L1 and the championship under Liebherr.

On the exception of Fernandes today’s squad was made up entirely of Championship quality players.

Still has to work with the second worst Premier League team ever. You can’t repair the damage that’s been done in just a few weeks over the summer.

His older brother Charlie Setford is a Saints fan, don’t know about Tommy. Charlie Setford is still at Ajax but so far hasn’t played for their first team, even though their nr 1 goalie is 41 year old Remko Pasveer.

Thank you for sharing. Only listened to the last part when he spoke about his time with us. And a little spoiler, best managers were Ancelotti and Koeman, worst Pellegrino. And talks about a big bust up with Hasenhuttl.

There’s a flight arriving at Girona from Bournemouth at 13:49 CET. It departs at 11:00 GMT. Someone near Bompey airport at this moment?
