I agree with you completely about the coaching staff, it beggars belief that we have goalkeepers coaching anything but goalkeepers, but despite that Ralph is making too many errors playing players out of position, keeping 3 central defenders on the pitch when chasing the game yesterday, playing our only creative midfielder at right wing back etc etc etc, he has to go.

I simply don't understand the personal abuse of Katarina Liebherr. She inherited various business from her father when he died, and not surprisingly she didn't want to own or run them so sold them to the highest bidder. End of. Anybody would do the same. If Markus had a grand plan he wanted continuing after his death, which I seriously doubt, he should have left the club in trust. As a billionaire I'm sure he wasn't short of decent lawyers for advice. But he didn't, he left it to his daughter along with the engineering companies and she sold them. Good for her.

Sadly I dont think it will be Ralph. Silva I think.

While we've got our pitch forks out and sharpened why has our CEO Martin Semmin (?) been spared? It's his job to oversee the smooth running if the club including making the right appointments at the right time. As I understand it his qualification to the job was running a small advertising agency!!!

I'm not condoning his behaviour but if you took a job as an electrician say, and then your boss made you do plumbing, and everyone was having a pop at you because you're not a great plumber, it would not he surprising if you were upset.

Yes is was fun eventually. Solid result but we tried hard to go behind in the first 30 minutes.

Rohl perhaps ?

Yeah because the worst defeat in our 134 year history , the worst home defeat by any top flight club, the worst home start to a season in history are just blips.

Dont talk ******. She inherited a business, she sold a business. End of. Do you really think multi millionairs get all dewy eyed over their investments? Marcus included.

This exactly ( apart from the selling to Hitler bit) . She inherited a business she had particular interest in and eventually sold at a profit. Can't blame her I would do the same

The players aren't good enough, but our worst ever defeat in 134 year history , our worst ever home start to a season! Which records next for Ralph? He has to go.

China banned Winnie the Pooh after some people decided the chinese president looked like Master Pooh and he was mocked online. The theory is nobody does anything in China without political consent, if Gaos actions result in the President being mocked he'll be skating on very thin ice and maybe made to sell up.

What, in the name of all things holy, makes you think k we should keep Ralph. ??????

Cast iron certainty for relegation. We haven't got the players but Ralph is making it worse.

Taxi for Ralph.

Dejenepo will be sold, Ings is worth keeping he would have a field day in the Championship, the rest aren't good enough for the Championship

\lol, I'd forgot about Winnie the Pooh, that most dangerous of all agitators.

China is a 'communist' state. The state allows a certain amount of private enterprise if their economy benefits. Protests that highlight those things the state doesn't want highlighted would see them pull the plug on Gao PDQ, and make him sell. Tibetan, Hong Kong or Taiwanese flags promentatly seen at home games would raise more than a few eye brows in the corridors of power.

Yep, my thoughts exactly. Hoping for the lower estimate, fearing the upper, or worse.

If we want Gao out, ie to sell up to someone with more interest in the club try embarrassing the Chinese state. Nothing happens in China without the approval of the State, and one thing the Chinese state hates is protest and a spotlight shone on their governance. 32k Saints fans waving Tebitan flags live on TV would see Gaos operation closed down faster than a buttered bullet.

I'm not getting behind the team, they are sh1t. There is no evidence that continually getting behind something that is st1t makes it better. You have to think of the team (as opposed to the club) like a small child. Sometimes you need to encourage, sometimes you need to scold; and sometimes you need to sit back and say "go on then, prove me wrong". As responsible parents we should be at the latter stage.

The current board is: Gao, Gao's Daughter (London based apparently), Kat, and the CEO who is some fella from a crappy little ad agency. The football 'wisdom' on the board is staggering.

There is so much wrong at SMS and Staplewood it's hard to know where to begin. Suffice to say maintaining the status quo ain't good enough. Any manager needs a good coaching staff. Ralph has lost his right hand man and needs to be replaced. The evidence suggests Kelvin and co. aren't good enough.

Aguero for o e will be surprised hes in the second XI
