Barry Sanchez Posted 24 December, 2012 Posted 24 December, 2012 Why should we be a moral compass and continue with the current regime if we think we are going to get relegated this season? What makes us superior to others to think we should display this loyalty when the performances have been hit and miss to say the least, what concerns me more is the fact the squad is simply not strong enough to survive so therefore regardless of what Adkins tries to do will fail as his purchases have been poor so its a moot point if he can persuade a man to climb a mountain for him as he simply can not do it as he has no legs to get him up there. Few other teams have kept their manager when they have gone down and none I know off with a controller like we have so why should we be a supposed team of morals others dont or wont have? We should eb open and honest at all times of course but that does not mean we stupidly follow Adkins or Cortese for that matter blindly down the rabbit hole.
Tamesaint Posted 24 December, 2012 Posted 24 December, 2012 Who thinks that we are going to get relegated? Lose a game and all bladder control is lost by some of the contributors on here.
brmbrm Posted 24 December, 2012 Posted 24 December, 2012 Sorry, I seem to have lost the drift of your argument, if there ever was one. i think you assume that we are going to get relegated, despite any possible purchases (which will be poor). Is this basically a post for 8 months time assuming we are relegated and likely humliated by how bad we are? Good grief..................... Nostradamus? Or Nostra Dumass?
brmbrm Posted 24 December, 2012 Posted 24 December, 2012 Actually, I am still having problems where the "moral compass" fits in?

Hey Barry, are you a first year Diploma Of Professional Writing student?
Barry Sanchez Posted 24 December, 2012 Author Posted 24 December, 2012 We have to keep him as he got us promoted.
Barry Sanchez Posted 24 December, 2012 Author Posted 24 December, 2012 Hey Barry, are you a first year Diploma Of Professional Writing student? Hey arse, no I am not. Spelling lessons are to the left and bellends are to the right.
austsaint Posted 24 December, 2012 Posted 24 December, 2012 Hey arse, no I am not. Spelling lessons are to the left and bellends are to the right. Judging by your "and none I know off" you are "to the left" then.
Miltonaggro Posted 24 December, 2012 Posted 24 December, 2012 Regardless of what the fans think, moral or not, Cortese will do what he thinks fit and best for the business. Two of his options are to release significant funds to plug gaps in the squad that should have been plugged last window, or sack Adkins and bring in another coach to motivate the players, such as Di Matteo. No morality, justa de business...
dubai_phil Posted 24 December, 2012 Posted 24 December, 2012 One more game before the transfer window opens. Unlike Alp's, I'm happy to give "The Recruitment Committee" a week to get things sorted
Barry Sanchez Posted 24 December, 2012 Author Posted 24 December, 2012 No I am confused at the choice to be honest................
Bucks Saint Posted 24 December, 2012 Posted 24 December, 2012 Why should we be a moral compass and continue with the current regime if we think we are going to get relegated this season?. I don't think we will be, so thankfully I don't have to work out the rest of this blurb which is somehow about a moral compass. Phew.
Wes Tender Posted 24 December, 2012 Posted 24 December, 2012 Hey arse, no I am not. Spelling lessons are to the left and bellends are to the right. You're firmly to the right, that's for sure.
Barry Sanchez Posted 24 December, 2012 Author Posted 24 December, 2012 Wes how are you? I bet you hate this time of year, red faced cherubs running around, carol singing and general joy..............................

Wes Tender Posted 24 December, 2012 Posted 24 December, 2012 Wes how are you? I bet you hate this time of year, red faced cherubs running around, carol singing and general joy.............................. I'm entirely happy with Christmas and also with Adkins and the team. The only thing I find boring is you. It's you who seems in need of some festive cheer.
Barry Sanchez Posted 24 December, 2012 Author Posted 24 December, 2012 If we look like going down of course I believe Adkins should go, he bought the players surely? He is the manager after all. Cortese has to answer questions on the level of purchases and the quality.

Nice, I am not.

Nice, I am not. Well, there's the difference between us. I wonder whether it had occurred to you that just around the corner is the January transfer window? You know, the one in which a club can assess where they have shortcomings and address them by bringing in other players. Anybody with any intelligence would wait and see what action is taken during the January transfer window before making assessments about our prospects for relegation. After all, we've still got just over half the season to go yet.

Barry Sanchez Posted 24 December, 2012 Author Posted 24 December, 2012 ...according to some " sources " on this board , one or two of the summer signings were Cortese/ reed choices and not Adkins'. Tongue in cheek old bean, sort of poking the sleeping dog.
Dr Who? Posted 24 December, 2012 Posted 24 December, 2012 We might go down, we might stay up. This is all the fun of football back in the premier league and 90% of the seasons I have supported Saints we have been involved in a relegation dogfight with much worse squads, and survived. Just enjoy the ride!
Barry Sanchez Posted 24 December, 2012 Author Posted 24 December, 2012 Dr I cant think of a worse Premiership squad to be honest. I will love them wherever we are, makes no difference, blind optimism and head in the sand sydrome really gets to me more than the tanned ones quotes.
Greenridge Posted 24 December, 2012 Posted 24 December, 2012 What are our odds for staying up? They predict dont they? Dont pundits? Dont Owners? Robbie Savage predicted Reading, QPR and Wigan to go down on BBC Breakfast this morning.

Someones started on the Christmas sherry a little early.
Kingsland Red Posted 24 December, 2012 Posted 24 December, 2012 S****horpe kept their manager and went up again. If we stay up NA has done his job, if we go down we have the most successful manager for getting teams promotion over the last 5-6 years.

Teams very rarely ever stuck with their manager if they go down and have a success
Barry Sanchez Posted 24 December, 2012 Author Posted 24 December, 2012 Someones started on the Christmas sherry a little early. Ahem, possibly.
Barry Sanchez Posted 24 December, 2012 Author Posted 24 December, 2012 Then what?? Move him on if we to back up. Teams very rarely ever stuck with their manager if they go down and have a success They even sack them if they are successful.
Bucks Saint Posted 24 December, 2012 Posted 24 December, 2012 My compass is pretty moral and it's pointing to other threads....
JustMike Posted 24 December, 2012 Posted 24 December, 2012 I don't think we will go down. (p.s stay off the sherry!)
The9 Posted 24 December, 2012 Posted 24 December, 2012 One more game before the transfer window opens. Unlike Alp's, I'm happy to give "The Recruitment Committee" a week to get things sorted Two, Phil. Fulham and Stoke. Can see us potentially winning at Fulham but no way in the world we're getting anything first time out against Stoke, guaranteed at least one "keeper in the net" goal.
Window Cleaner Posted 24 December, 2012 Posted 24 December, 2012 One more game before the transfer window opens. Unlike Alp's, I'm happy to give "The Recruitment Committee" a week to get things sorted try 3, we're not likely to get anyone in who can play against Arsenal.

lloydie Posted 24 December, 2012 Posted 24 December, 2012 I thought of one really quickly. Reading. I think he meant out of every squad saints have fielded every year we have been in the premier league. The last time we went down, was a squad worse than this one. They werent a team just a selection of players wielded under 3 different managers. Jacobson would be worse than Jos. Id rather have rickie than camara. And schneiderlin/cork over oakley and redknapp (was past it then) Although you make a valid point too. There are I think 3 teams worse than us in the league: Reading, Wigan. And i think one of Villa and Sunderland will be below us. QPR potentially in that bracket too but Harry will magic his way out of that mess after January.

Barry Sanchez Posted 24 December, 2012 Author Posted 24 December, 2012 I thought of one really quickly. Reading. I mean our in our Premiership history, right off for a quick couple in the local with the Mrs, have a very Merry Christmas.
Barry Sanchez Posted 24 December, 2012 Author Posted 24 December, 2012 Relegation probably about 50/50. Just get behind them and hope for the best. I like that sentiment I really do but as this is know or we are told it is a business I do not want to hope for the best, that just does not cut it nowadays.
Dr Who? Posted 24 December, 2012 Posted 24 December, 2012 I love football, and I love Saints. We are 4th from bottom for Christmas, and I seem to remember us being in a worse position than this at this stage of the season a few times, and managed somehow to stay up. Those who say we have had easy games over the last few weeks are wrong. There are no easy games, and a lot of results do depend on the form of the team at the point of the season you play them. Football in general is fun, and pretty random at the best of times, and this is why I love the sport so much! Merry Christmas!
