Anyone able to upload the Jeremy Wilson Saints article? Cant access the article as you have to be premium member and site is experiencing difficulties. Interested to know his thoughts re our situation ta

Nail on head

If Hughes is good enough to keep us up, surely he would be good enough to get us back to solid top half next season, the standard of the premier league is dire! He has shown he can attract decent players, and he still has the desire to succeed. If he keep us up, I would give him one year rolling contract

Pretty much agree with that

I love this thread, it keeps reinventing itself!

Just please do it now! No way MP gets anything away at Burnley

If tomorrow is Au Revoir for MP, honestly think it will be Hughes in firing line! We rejected Silva before he took Watford job, as he was adamant he made all decisions, didn't sit well with board! Hughes more solid and more a yes man I would say! Only my opinion, but regardless of everything, I would still take a Saints win tomorrow 100%! If players do like MP, time to bloody well show it on pitch

More than a little Clarkey!!! Think tonight could be a real struggle! It will get toxic v quickly if we sit back as well! Still while there's hope

Bryan Swanson Sky or BT or whoever he is with these days

I was just about to say the same thing, wont bother now

Very good read, but very club led! As you say, they believe the model works, but it is up to MP to make sure it does, he is under scrutiny! Bit more than a 6 pointer for the manager now I would say! Also sounds like they haven't quite given up on Walcott either. Big day tomorrow

If we set up to try and avoid defeat on sat first and foremost, we will get stuffed! As mooted by 95% of fans on here and Twitter, we need to pressurise the opponents! If MP doesn't change his mind set, we will be lucky to win another game.

well he has to start somewhere! I keep hoping there is a player in there somewhere

Championship attack v championship defence

Very good post, pretty much sums it up for me! We literally can't control anything apart from our support. If Mr Gao is using us as a means to get his foot in the fast growing Chinese football scene, ie academies, branding, structure, using us as a status asset and model, so be it. If he doesn't care about us a team and won't invest, so be it, we aren't the only ones. If we get relegated and he withdraws his holding, so be it! If we are in league one without a pot to **** in, so be it! We will support Southampton FC because that's what we do. Maybe it will mean more! Either way as I write this, this is what football is to me, having a strong coffee after taking daughter to dance and feeling that match day buzz and anticipation. That will never change.

VVD gone in Jan I would suggest, almost nailed on!

I couldn't have said that better myself so I will use yours if that's ok m'lord

Reckon VVD and Bertie will put in stormers tonight!!

Reckon he is odds on to go in Jan, more than likely to City! Still think we will get £60 min

4 1 Saints, been saying it all week and I am sticking to it! The tide has to turn! Come Jan, MP will finally be able to start shaping his own team hopefully

I have decided to enter the Saints prediction comp for the first time!! 4 1 Saints with Austin nabbing the opener, I reckon that shirt is as good as mine lol

FWIW, I would def go for Bilic now he is free!! Good old fashioned passion, yes please

Really can't see Les getting shot of MP! We are acting like he has gone already

Come up with a new striker with your last post and all will be forgiven Billy

No????? Really??? Oh sod it, I really should be packing for camping
