S-Clarke Posted 30 August, 2012 Share Posted 30 August, 2012 Weird thing to say. Is it just because unfashionable Southampton have some money to spend, and because of that, we must have dodgy owners? Oh and we're about to prove him wrong regarding Ramirez. That's worth the transfer fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 30 August, 2012 Share Posted 30 August, 2012 I dont know why any Saints fan lets Lawrenson get to them. He's always had it in for us. Even back when we were in the Div1/PL before, he would predict us to be relegated every season. I must admit to being curious as to which issue has caused him to doubt our non-team management/ownership though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 30 August, 2012 Share Posted 30 August, 2012 Did anyone actually read the context of his quotes?! Seems like a bit of an over-reaction of what a pundit said just because he hasn't lavished considerable praise on us and therefore, by that virtue, knows nothing. Here's his quote in full: The worrying thing for me about Southampton is that they have a very good manager but I'm not sure about the people who run the club. I just hope they keep faith with Nigel Adkins because he has done a great job. They just need to be more ruthless, which in essence is the difference between being a good Championship team and an average Premier League team. What on earth is controversial or wrong about that?

I read it that he's predicting us to lose this weekend (no great shakes there). And then we have Arsenal away, likely another loss. So he says he doesn't know how our owners will react but hope there will be no knee-jerk reaction from them (as predicted by the bookies) and they sack Adkins, as he is a very good manager. F*ck me there's some delicate souls on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revolution saint Posted 30 August, 2012 Share Posted 30 August, 2012 Pundits IMO are only there for one reason and that's to give the uninformed an opinon. Unfortunately they only really trot out the same old tired cliches so you get "'Arry is a great wheeler dealer" (well he's not really - ask any of his former clubs), "Sam Allardyce - great manager, shrewd operator" (really?), or to cap it all "Pompey - great supporters". I bet every informed and knowledgeable fan slates most pundits purely because they are lazy and uninformed. That's why I quite like Claridge - you only need to look at his scout reports on the grauniad to know he at least thinks about what he's talking about. Personally I think MOTD should actually have journalists as pundits - less cliches, more original thinking and more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colinjb Posted 30 August, 2012 Share Posted 30 August, 2012 Sounds as though he is in the 'old boys network' of footballers who mistrust anyone who do not bend to their will and play on their terms.

Micky Posted 30 August, 2012 Share Posted 30 August, 2012 I think the Kraken has called it really. Lawrenson has a pretty lazy style about him anyway. All he's doing here is highlighting the fact that we are likely to be without points for 3 - 4 games and questioning whether the owners will start to get twitchy. Decent shout really.
