Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 21 January, 2017 Share Posted 21 January, 2017 If we don't replace fonte and get a new striker this month then Les Reed is blatantly taking the fans for mugs. No excuse for not addressing both positions. Both been known for some time. Sent from my SM-A300FU using Tapatalk I think he's been taking us for mugs for the last couple of seasons. You can't keep selling your prize assets and replacing on the cheap. He got lucky but his luck has well and truly run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitch side protest, a march through the city centre, maybe picket Les's house how about a match boycott? You organise something to show the club we're not mugs mate and we'll come and support you.

Les isnt a Southampton fan, hes a failed player and manager who is close to retirement. He makes Kat money, thats his job. He is doing his job. Unfortunately his targets and bonuses do not appear to be football success related. Make money money, make money money Take money money, take money money Make money money, make money money Take money money, take money money Not alot we can do about it really.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 21 January, 2017 Share Posted 21 January, 2017 (edited) I just want Reed to sign anyone. I don't care if they're not very good or we over pay for him , I just want a centre half onboard. If he turns out to be shiete & we're stuck with the useless lump it'll give me another opportunity to slag Reed off,he can also replace Redmond as my scapegoat , so it's win win for me.

I (just a normal fan) spoke about the club with him for almost 45 mins in the San Siro. He clearly wants success on the pitch as much as any Saints fan does. His target is regular European football, CL within 5 years if one we can take advantage of a big club(s) slipping up, and winning cups. I guess his bonus is aligned with that too. For a club our size that is pretty ambitious; compare with Stoke for example, who hold a champagne party when they hit 40 points as that's their definition of success and ambition. Each year it gets harder for us, esp with FFP; plus the balance of power lies with players/agents not clubs (unless you are one of the big 4) and agents unsettle our better players all the time.

Criticise on facts and performance, not stuff you know **** all about. So you spoke to him in October and he spoke about his grand plan to "pounce" once the big 6-7 clubs fall asleep for a season. Same (coincidence) that he mentioned the same "ambition" in his interviews earlier this month. Waiting for 6-7 clubs to have a nightmare season.... How is that ambition? And why didn't we "pounce" last season? Did Leicester have first dibs? I dont need to know Reed personally to past judgement - i have acknowledged his success to make money, but he has failed on the football front and even he would need to admit that - he was a failed player, then a failed manager. He then came here to oversee the academy and is now by his own admission in charge of "EVERYTHING" He spoke about champions league - failed He spoke about filling the new trophy cabinet - failed He has now reset his own targets (6th to 9th) and is again failing. Make money - tick Meet his own targets - fail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No excuse for not addressing both positions. Both been known for some time. Sent from my SM-A300FU using Tapatalk They take the fans for mugs anyway, they know the audience is captive, Tesco shoppers will switch to Sainsbury's if they feel they are getting a raw deal off Tesco. The club very nicely let season tickets behind the goals be reduced to come in line with the cap on away supporter ticket prices................. then let the Club main sponsor subsidise visiting fans to the tune of £10 per ticket, what do us mugs who put our hands in our pockets get................ our trousers down round our ankles. We are now light at centre back at the same time we have a general strike force that can't achieve the main objective of the game, let alone hit a cows backside with a banjo. Come the 1st February if the interesting possibilities have stopped the gaping holes us idiots can see being filled, then we fans will have no trousers on to pull down......... our shirts have been off our backs for ages.

DuncanRG Posted 22 January, 2017 Share Posted 22 January, 2017 Gardos isn't a complete unknown, though it's obviously been a while.

suewhistle Posted 22 January, 2017 Share Posted 22 January, 2017 .. and on the same lines, I heard Puel's interview in the car on the way home today. I took it to mean that they were considering a new defender, but that the difficulty was getting a better one than the ones we already have, and he's not Redknapp stupid in ruining the confidence of players he may have to rely on. He's well aware of the Gardos situation, for example, and that after his injury he may not be part of the solution.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a1ex2001 Posted 23 January, 2017 Share Posted 23 January, 2017 I have no expectation that the club will bring in a goal scorer this month but I will be amazed if we don't bring in a centre back all the language from the club has implied that we will, my money is still on a sakho loan with option secured on the last day of the window when nobody else is willing to offer a permanent deal. If we cashed in a few of our future options/payments with Liverpool we'd probably get sakho for pretty much free which might make justifying his salary easier.

Nah, prices wouldn't fall that far in Championship (the price cut would be the extra games, similar prices, four games more). Much bigger prob would be the telly money but isn't there now even bigger parachute payments so prob ok on that score for two seasons. Not going to happen anyway, this year or for the foreseeable future.. we'd have to do some really silly over-selling combined with some serious under-recruiting on replacements to be relegated.....
