Batman Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Which players would be alluding to there then? do you think Morgan came to southampton because it is close to france or jrod came here from up north as he always wanted to live near the bargate? come on, they all use us as a stepping stone. That and we offer serious ££££££££
saints1988 Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Which players would be alluding to there then? Lets be honest every player we have had bar one who was any good did exactly the same and will do in the future. The same will apply to any new manager that does well. People need to face facts here and stop all the toy throwing. We are not and never will e in a position to challenge the big boys thus anybody who does well for us will be off. Poch did well and possibly raised the value of some of our players which the club will sell this summer, I hope they don't but the reality is we will not keep hold of them. Maybe the board don't have a clue but I doubt they could keep him if the spuds are offering much better options. People need to chill and lets see what happens, if we appoint a Hughton or the like then we could be in trouble. Lallana? Lambert? Fonte? Schneiderlin? Don't tar this players with the same brush as pochettino
Cascadia Saint Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Arse. But if he doesn't want to be here, then cheerio. He did some great work but it doesn't really amount to much if he leaves at the end of his only full season in charge. It's hard to be too thankful at the moment.
Tamesaint Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Is there any speculation yet on who will be replacing Pochettino at Spurs?
Batman Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Lallana? Lambert? Fonte? Schneiderlin? Don't tar this players with the same brush as pochettino Morgan, who has openly said he is interested in a move to a CL club?
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Those of you having a pop at the board.. What are they meant to do if he wants out? No person is bigger than the club and we should never keep anyone that doesn't want to be here. And that is how it is. I can understand people being upset but let's move on and get behind the next manager and the team.
Clifford Nelson Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 I'm pretty sure Les Reed was at he club when we hired Adkins and Pochettino. I'm touched by the belief that a few have got in Les Reed. I sincerely hope you're right, because with a genius in our midst we haven't got anything to worry about. Why don't I quite believe that?
sfc1976 Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Little old saints getting done up the wrong'un like usual. Back to the dark ages just when we were on the brink of moving up the ladder.
saints1988 Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 do you think Morgan came to southampton because it is close to france or jrod came here from up north as he always wanted to live near the bargate? come on, they all use us as a stepping stone. That and we offer serious ££££££££ Morgan has been with the club when we went down to league one and back to the premiership some supporters do easily forget the contribution made by some of the current playing staff. Kelvin Davis turned down west ham who at the time where in the premiership to stay at saints playing league one football
Batman Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Morgan has been with the club when we went down to league one and back to the premiership some supporters do easily forget the contribution made by some of the current playing staff. Kelvin Davis turned down west ham who at the time where in the premiership to stay at saints playing league one football yeah. but he will be off like a shot if arsenal came in and had a bid accepted.
BARCELONASAINT Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Every club in the Premiership is a stepping stone bar the top four and even they cannot hold onto players if they want to go!....Van Persie from Arsenal to Man Utd......its the way of football, nothing stands still. We still have our club and we will still have a team to support.....part of me thinks this might just rattle KL who "might" think "i'm not going to let everything my dad built here dissappear"....i can see a scenario where we tempt a big name manager here with the promise of every £ of any transfer fee we might get and more....just a hunch.....but whatever we still have our club......want to trade places with Portsmouth???
doddisalegend Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Where did this sack mopo rumour come from? Adam Blackmore on twitter

Good post The way some are reacting you'd think we were in Portsmouth's position:lol:
doddisalegend Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Little old saints getting done up the wrong'un like usual. Back to the dark ages just when we were on the brink of moving up the ladder. Where we really? no evidence of that ....more hope
Sour Mash Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Most generic & un-personal statement ever much like his interaction with fans while here Exactly that. Thanks for popping in for a bit MP, see you around some time.
Sour Mash Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Do you really believe he wrote it? Proof will be in our next appointment. Ok, so I'll ask again, what's wrong with it? Yeah he probably wrote it, checked over by the media department, just standard stuff.
Micky Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Oohhhh eerrrrrrr real bad day on Saintsweb I see. Poch has packed his bags and left for London, meanwhile nobody noticed Glasgow Saint sneaking in the back door. This place goes into meltdown, apparently the board are rotten to the core and don't have a clue. My bet is something like this, on 16 August 2014, 12 blokes in red and white (stripes?) will take the field and the crowd will go mental. They have done for the last 100 years and will do for the next 100 years. Some of you need to calm down, they journey is not for 5 years, it's for life.
DuncanRG Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Pochettino set to come back for Lallana, the Guardian reports
BotleySaint Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Pochettino set to come back for Lallana, the Guardian reports Probably putting 2 and 2 together... Spurs already have a gazillion midfielders.
aintforever Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Pochettino set to come back for Lallana, the Guardian reports It will be interesting to see if it was Poch who made Lallana or the other way round.
St Chalet Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 It will be interesting to see if it was Poch who made Lallana or the other way round. I very much doubt Lallana will go to Spurs.
doddisalegend Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Pretty sure a few people said the same about mopo..........
david in sweden Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 I have an unhealthy dislike for Spurs I always have had.......
david in sweden Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 I hope there is a clause in the agreement that they can't buy any of our first teamers.......
GAS Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Has been great football under his management, but that's no small part to the great crop of players he has had to choose from. I think he is a really good manager but I truly hope he flops there.... COYR. Bring on the Wally with the Brolly....
St Chalet Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Pretty sure a few people said the same about mopo.......... I wasn't one of those.
Dig Dig Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 A meeting with Lallana just before departing to Spurs. Could be a simple goodbye though....
Asaint4ever Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 It will be interesting to see if it was Poch who made Lallana or the other way round. Adz has signed for Liverpool.
buctootim Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Is there any speculation yet on who will be replacing Pochettino at Spurs?
Berudenot2 Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 I always have had....... Me too. Ever since the ****s threw spuds with razor blades embedded back in the 70's at WHL. Cowardly feckers and since then they have been a complete **** magnet. Hoddle, Redknapp, in recent times to name but two. No doubt the horrible bstads will be singing the Poch song to us along with OWTS. I really really hope we do them next year. It might be a churlish reaction even infantile but they are one team I truly despise.
Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Adz has signed for Liverpool. Any news on Adam Lallana though?
corky morris Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 (edited) Well he can **** off as far as I'm concerned! We would never give anyone a 5 year contract. He can **** it up & get his contract paid up. He's gone for the cash! I lost a lot of respect & faith in him at Sunderland in the FA Cup. That was his fault IMHO. I will never forget Anders Svensson kicking Tottenhams arse in the FA Cup. Hope we get to do that to those arrogant ******s again. We move on & I'm actually really pleased its over now. When the LMA ask that managers get time remind them that it works 2 ways. MP has shown absolutely no loyalty to Saints whatsoever. Hope he fails miserably!! Edited 27 May, 2014 by corky morris
Cestrian Saint Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Stupid, greedy ****. Nothing like trying to run before you can walk. One good season and they think he's the answer to all their problems. 10 managers in 13 years tells a story.
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Would like to know the reasons he left. If it was the lure of Spurs then fair enough. If it was anything we did to suggest we didn't have shared ambition I'd be disappointed.
max_saints Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 so.... this is how NA felt when he got the sack. we were always due a bit of bad karma for the way we handled that episode
doddisalegend Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 A meeting with Lallana just before departing to Spurs. Could be a simple goodbye though.... Are you suggesting mopo would tap up a player:scared:
sfc1976 Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Luckily the bottom half of the prem is absolutely horrendous, we should be ok surely? One thing the board must do now is wake up and realise the spine of our team could be gone by July, and either fight like hell and not get rogered again, or tell the new guy he has X to spend and get on and replace them. Probably gonna pay over the odds for them if they feature during the world cup but fek it.
Sergei Gotsmanov Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Well he can **** off as far as I'm concerned! We would never give anyone a 5 year contract. He can **** it up & get his contract paid up. He's gone for the cash! I lost a lot of respect & faith in him at Sunderland in the FA Cup. That was his fault IMHO. I will never forget Anders Svensson kicking Tottenhams arse in the FA Cup. Hope we get to do that to those arrogant ******s again. We move on & I'm actually really pleased its over now. When the LMA ask that managers get time remind them that it works 2 ways. MP has shown absolutely no loyalty to Saints whatsoever. Hope he fails miserably!! It was a difficult conversation with my 6 year old boy but I was able to teach him the importance of loyalty and how to conduct yourself to the people who sang your name for 18 months.
doddisalegend Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 so.... this is how NA felt when he got the sack. we were always due a bit of bad karma for the way we handled that episode I know it is a results business at the end of the day and Nigels results weren't great in the PL but it does leave a sour taste that we got rid of a guy who came across as loyal and genuinely thankful for being our manager. A guy that came across as being as much a part of the whole set up as the fans and replaced him with guy who really wasn't that bothered about saints at all and blew us off at the first opportunity.
Baird of the land Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 1) Ball leaving for city 2) Mopo leaving for spurs 3) Hoddle leaving for spurs In terms of level of guttitude during my lifetime. No one will ever top my childhood despair of Ball leaving.
RedWillie Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Oh well, such s life. There is no loyality in football, none, nowhere. Most would sell their granny if they had to. Mopo had probably never heard of us two years ago. He has just used sfc as a steppingstone to more cash. Thanks to the EPL being awash with cash we have nothing more than mercenaries willing to sell their sole to the highest bidder. Not renewing my ST, not because of mopo going but just getting sick of what is ruining the game. Going to pick and chose my games next year.
Viking Warrior Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 It's a sad day for saints . But tomorrow we brush ourselves down and start again . I hadn't realised the MP contract is a 5 year contract with a one year break clause , he gave sherwood a three year with a six month break sad but it will happen he will be sacked by next july. So he does not have secure employment after all . MLT has tweeted a picture of the saints badge and has said it's the name on the front that is important not the name on the back Matt at ted bates nick Holmes and the likes of terry pain who stand for loyalty and dedication to football . Thank you Matt I needed cheering up . Those that have a pop at the board are wrong . But like Weston said now is the time for the board to show the fans the remain resolute on moving Southampton forward . Next season ifinishing above spuds will make my season .
JoeShmoe Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 I laugh at mugs who still think that professional sportsmen are still expected to show some kind of loyalty to a fan base. They won't and never will. It's a business (as they say in the NFL) , players, managers, media, everyone treats it as a business and cest la vie. Poch came here, did a very good job, bought some good players, improved those we had and brought on some of the younger ones like Shaw, Chambers and Gallagher. He's moved on to better his career (maybe) and so likely will Shaw and Adam both of whom are good enough to play at the top level in the CL. We are where we are in the scheme of things (along with 10-15 other clubs) so let's hope whoever comes in continues the good work Poch started and we have another top 10 finish next season Personally I wish him well as I do all the players who've played for us or managers who've coached us We were in administration a few years back looking for Paul Allens yacht and Barry the Briefcase so let's face it we've had it a LOT worse than this
Chez Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 If we hang on to Shaw I could not give a ****. The key is getting a manager in that can entice him to stay. Or is it too late for that?
Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 MLT has tweeted a picture of the saints badge and has said it's the name on the front that is important not the name on the back He also tweeted this I genuinely dont mind if players/managers move on to what they perceive as better things but dont mug fans off along the way with lies
corsacar saint Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Good riddance Poch and it will be interesting to see how long you last with Levy.
CWD Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Ah well, don't let a bitter taste at the end ruin the memory of our best ever season of football. Pochettino is the best manager we've had in my time supporting saints, but we move on. Don't not renew season tickets. We are the club, and we'll always be here. We are still arguably the best available job in Europe - I'm interested to see who takes charge in the next chapter of supporting Saints. Just hope we smash Spurs next season!
alpine_saint Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 Can we not send alpine to the spuds as well . He is far more disloyal to saints than MOPO is . Obsessed.
Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 27 May, 2014 Posted 27 May, 2014 so im guessing that pic of the argie at their training ground wasn't a photoshop then?
