Maggie May

I’ve watched a few of his interviews and training and he comes across really well. I’m backing him.

Mowbray???

Edozie has never recovered from his miss against Lincoln.

It would be so sweet if Newcastle slip out of the top four. If that happens, I see them sacking Howe before Christmas if they don’t make a similar start to this season.

I think it’ll be Marsch.

It makes sense if Wilcox is overseeing this process.

Build the team around him and Alcaraz next season (if both stay).

Ha.

Does he still think we’ve got a chance of staying up?

We’re f**ked.

Barring Alcaraz and Lavia, this has been our worst year for transfers in recent memory. Probably as far back as Redknapp’s first January signings. The comparisons between this season and 2005 are staggering.

Hampered at Saints for being at Saints.

Are you prepared to go down the rabbit hole?

We may as well get the silly season underway early. Feb 15 2022: Athletic’s Dan Sheldon publishes an article on Southampton medical checks, gels and team talks between 60th-70th minute - coincidence or plan? March 5 2022: Saints fall to an abysmal 4-0 away defeat to Aston Villa and record only one more win in the league for the rest of the season. We wouldn’t win again until Leicester away on August 20 this season. NOTE: We did register two wins in between the article’s publication and the Aston Villa capitulation. However, it’s interesting how fast it all fell apart so close to publication. Coincidence or something to it?

Yeah. Funny how most people on this thread don’t register the 2009 relegation for some reason. My fear is history repeating itself. The board hasn’t given us any reassurance we will be in a healthy position. Ankersen’s words at the fans’ forum worried me. It only takes the owner pulling the plug to leave us really in the proverbial.

Our football goes nowhere. Why do they even bother? Has there ever been a team that’s shown as little fight to stay up as this lot? Forest are awful and there for the taking.

Everton will beat them tonight.

Stop doing it to yourself!

Lampard out!

Chelsea beating Bournemouth. Get Lampard in now.

I see my comment has attracted a bit of ridicule. I’ll stick my head on the block and say Lampard will impress in his next role.

People can joke all they want about Lampard but he’s achieved more as a manager than Selles ever has and, I expect, will. - Performed well with Derby and knocked us out of the cup. - Got Chelsea CL football and to an FA Cup final under a transfer embargo. - Kept Everton up last season (something which Selles failed miserably at) If he hadn’t had a mare of a second season with Everton or tried to steady the ship of a truly basket case club like Chelsea, we’d still be clamouring for a manager like him. I say bring him in next season with a clean slate and see what he can do.

I would honestly take him next season.

Easiest money you’ll ever make.

Sigh. Time to do something else for the next few hours.
