Sadly, this experiment will realise a return to Championship football. Hugely disappointing, but it was always a huge gamble based upon 1 half decent season in La Liga. He has to go, but who else has the pedigree to pick us up?

Spot on. The successful journey was developed by Paul Mitchell, the players identified just before RK arrived, lined up by PM (with the exception of Pelle). Les Reed surfed that wave, sold most of those players and Ross Wilson has failed to deliver on most of the subsequent signings.

With regret MPoe is clearly not good enough. However the root cause of the demise goes back to the departure of Paul Mitchell and the fact his replacement Ross Wilson is equally as hopeless as MPoe.He has failed to identify anyone player of true talent with the exception of VVD,who was arguably on the watchlist before Wilson was appointed. Mitchell was the guy with the Midas touch, who created the black box and who carefully carried out the assessment and due diligence 'process' as Reed would describe it. A clear out is necessary, and we need to accept the time has come for a complete rebuild. Keep Kelvin Davis & the backroom staff engine but Manager , coaches and Ross Wilson need to be moved on. Time to steady the ship, supporters need to reset expectations. Perhaps Adkins or Pardew, an attempt to re sign Mitchell after he was bullied out of Spurs. I predict a slippery slope similar to the post Strachan era. A revolution not evolution. COYR.

Good to see that someone on this board can provide a well balanced & accurate summary.

Entertainment, that's what you wanted, still *ucking complaining. Mongboard indeed. Well done Saints, good call MP, time for Hoedt.

Good well balanced note BS. Time for some folk to wake up and smell reality, challenging for top 6 and a decent cup run is where the club is at.

Spot on, give the guy a chance, 8th & SF of League Cup. He inherited a squad minus 3 key players from the previous 2 seasons & one suspects has chosen to align with the clubs strategy of pushing youth through whilst allowing players such as CA,SL & JR the opportunity to step into Graziano shoes before buying someone else whom is unlikely to deliver better.

Keep the faith bed wetter

So predictable of you.

I couldnt have articulated it more eloquently Barcelonasaint....a vast number of over expectant

If there is truth in this, and there reappears to be a gradual snowballing of media meddling and discussion to suggest there is, particularly if you consider Vic's use of twitter to deny previous events, then Les Reed & Koeman must be too detached from the players to understand player views, behaviours & attitude. I remain reserved over Vic's intentions, but if he should leave then our intelligence on the attitudes of the squad is **** poor and my confidence in Les Reed shot to pieces......

This.......'quite frankly if this true, Vic, your attitude appalls me. It's not what you're saying. It's all this stuff you're not saying. Insinnuendos'

Inspirational.........twit...

Quality signing........welcome Jordy.......#WeMarchOn

Maybe so, but as Connor clearly states, only to the top 4/6 clubs. We seem to have bridged the gap with the likes of Everton, Newcastle etc. The club needs to consolidate itself as a top 8 club for a sustainable period, in pursuit of evolving the ongoing growth, if we do that for the next 5 years with a good run for a European spot & cup runs, then that experience, development and potential domestic cup success should help the club become more attractive to players such as Jordy Clasie........time will tell. Good article Connor.

Grand serviteur, bonne chance Morgan, jusqu la prochaine fois peut etre?

Is there really any point in this thread..........?

Absolute steel if we pull this off for the rumoured £10m........check out scout nation on you tube......this guy has great vision, positional awareness, tenacity and passing ability.....and just 24 yrs old........#Awesomesigning#WeMarchOn

Spreading your positivity & optimism once again...........#WeMarchOn..........hopefully without SR....

Suspect we're surprise most people by finishing top 8, despite the high profile departures. Would'nt take much notice of the Salzberg warm ups, most of the first Team has just returned. Jay & Sadio could form a prolific partnership, dependant on RK's Team strategy........hoping for a reputable CB signing.......judgement day by Norwich @ home.....#WeMarchOn

Your life must be a ball of fun........have you ever dared to be positive or optimistic about anything in what appears to be your rather depressing life?

Without doubt, today's home vocal support was the best so far this season at St Marys................but still a far cry from the night games at The Dell!

This supposed Saints fan, by the name of 'Saint Richmond', does this guy ever say anything positive about SFC or does he just enjoy washing and drying his bed sheets?
