Nordic Saint Posted 12 April, 2018 Posted 12 April, 2018 This is the main reason Les has kept his job until now. He has not only managed to convince many of our more gullible fans, through the skilful use of strategically placed 'leaks' to the media, that the Club really wanted to keep the players it has cashed in on but even got many of our fans to say good riddance when and even before he has sold them. That is why he has been so valuable to Kat: https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/944667/Liverpool-Southampton-Saints-fans-Van-Dijk-Lallana-Mane-Pochettino-Colin-Mafham

Our fans are generally a bit **** Even now it's clear to EVERYONE how useless Reed is, you still have a large % too weak to do or say anything Weak club, weak fans, pathetic management Edited 12 April, 2018 by Heisenberg

Other than summering that over the years we’ve had some top players it doesn’t tell you anything. Bale left before administration ffs and Liebherr bought us in league one not championship.

saint1977 Posted 13 April, 2018 Posted 13 April, 2018 WBA getting to the root of their issues - although talk is cheap - seeking to build a more attacking team in the Championship and reconnect with their fanbase. We will see in the summer if Mr Gao has any interest in this club, by sacking Reed, Wilson and the rest of the deadwood, bringing us someone who will aim to do the same.
Pamplemousse Posted 13 April, 2018 Posted 13 April, 2018 There have been rumours linking Reed to other positions so he might go of her a own accord. Wilson’s position really should untenable, the recruitment has been a disaster since he arrived.

Only a few weeks ago didn't they say they needed to apply for an overdraft, such was the financal mess at the club. They are just chatting to appease the fans. (like most clubs do)

Problem is that we are so devoid of people with football knowledge now, how do you think Gao will find the right person to appoint? Perhaps Nelly will find the right candidate.
Turkish Posted 13 April, 2018 Posted 13 April, 2018 The club are better at spin than Shane Warne. The recent article on Cedric was revealing. We got all this bullsh*t all summer about Van Dijk we were being strong, wouldn't be bullied by Liverpool, weren't going to sell to them. Turns out both Cedric and Van Dijk were negotiating moves away and they got blocked as we were being sold to Gao, of course the club then sold Van Dijk to Liverpool at the earliest possible opportunity in January, they couldn't wait to get their hands on the cash. All the stuff about tapping up, making a stand all bullsH*t. You can't trust a word that comes out of them, full of bol*ocks. All they've been interested in is making money. When you've got someone whose wiki page even says one of his greatest achievements in football was signing Chris smalling for nothing and selling him for £10m you can see why he's been promoted to the height of his imcompetence

Saint86 Posted 13 April, 2018 Posted 13 April, 2018 This Yeah, and yet we still have a huge proportion of fans (well armchair pundits on here), that defend this strategy and management. Madness.
Matthew Le God Posted 13 April, 2018 Posted 13 April, 2018 WBA getting to the root of their issues Club says they want to score more goals after relegation. Hardly groundbreaking stuff! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43737853

Get used to it, it’s going to probably be our popular history for the foreseeable future - the club with the golden generation who could have had glory but went for greed instead...

Hardly groundbreaking stuff! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43737853 Not ground breaking - and words are easy but harder to achieve but we will see if they deliver. At least there’s an acknowledgement that WBA are awful to watch which more than Saints fans have had after two seasons of Claude and Pellegrino. Reed and Ralph seem to think we are great to watch - although Les is rather camera shy these days rather like someone who has been caught out - so who knows what that says about them.
Heisenberg Posted 14 April, 2018 Author Posted 14 April, 2018 Les have an interview today? Haven't seen his big fat bald head on any of the live footage today......
Pamplemousse Posted 14 April, 2018 Posted 14 April, 2018 We need to organise a protest against the board. Get these ****ers out of our club, they are responsible for this mess.

Dalek2003 Posted 14 April, 2018 Posted 14 April, 2018 Hopefully Les Reed will be sacked or resign in the next 24 hours.
Heisenberg Posted 14 April, 2018 Author Posted 14 April, 2018 True, our fans are too soft. Southern softies
Pamplemousse Posted 14 April, 2018 Posted 14 April, 2018 I wonder whether he'll have the guts to publicly apologise? People like Adam Blackmore are not impressed by his refusal to do any interviews. Presumably he's a bit worried at having to answer some tough questions. What a coward he is.

aintforever Posted 14 April, 2018 Posted 14 April, 2018 Reed, Kruger, Fat Kat, Gao - all ****ing cowards.
simo Posted 14 April, 2018 Posted 14 April, 2018 Reed, Kruger, Fat Kat, Gao - all ****ing cowards. Bet none are in attendance on the last day of the season to face the music !
Portugalsaint Posted 19 April, 2018 Posted 19 April, 2018 Note GAO was not there tonight. Did he just fly in to watch Chelsea match or did he see all he needed to? There just doesn’t seem to be anyone at the helm all the rats have deserted the sinking ship.
ooh it's a corner Posted 20 April, 2018 Posted 20 April, 2018 If the rumour of a 60% staff cull with relegation are true, then Reed and Kruger will know that there is no place for a Chairman and CEO in a Championship football team. I think Kruger will bow out with some grace ("...relegation happened on my watch, so it is only right that I offer my resignation..."), Reed I think will jump at his first opportunity, but given his age and his performance with us, I don't think he will get any takers. So, I would not be surprised at all, if he is still here come September. He may take the opportunity to retire, but I am not convinced. Either way I bet he doesn't have a relegation clause in his contract, so presumably we'd have to stump up £500k a year, or whatever he earns, to pay the useless tosser. £19m on Carillo. Just utter utter madness. Not even an ounce of good governance in that decision. Cheerio Les, it was fun for a while, but we always thought you had an inflated opinion of yourself and for what it is worth, my season ticket renewal hinges on your departure.

Imagine being one of the 60% of staff who will lose their jobs because of the shower of **** we’ve been. And you can bet those at the top (something else I heard is that there are a ridiculous amount of directors and heads of departments) will keep their jobs and high wages. I was once told by someone at a meeting they had at the stadium that the commercial director came in to meet them and was boasting about the club being Champions League ready and that the club got rid of Koeman because he didn’t fit the Southampton away. That went really well! But we fans will be here whatever, if we do get relegated, it will hopefully be time to get rid of most of the people at the top who’ve overseen the massive complacency.
Heisenberg Posted 22 April, 2018 Author Posted 22 April, 2018 Why has it taken people so long to see Leslie's absolutely w*^k Quick flick through this thread and it's almost 30 pages of people defending him Even a recent poll has 42% wanting him to stay :lol:
Batman Posted 22 April, 2018 Posted 22 April, 2018 Said in the commentary that over the last 5 seasons we are the only side in the league with a positive net spend Bravo les

Supersubpuckett Posted 22 April, 2018 Posted 22 April, 2018 heard a bloke at the game today saying reed is on garden leave having been relieved of his duties. He didn't want mope to get fired. Maybe the rubbish of the last two seasons have finally been pinned on him.

supersonic Posted 22 April, 2018 Posted 22 April, 2018 Looking forward to that idiot coming out and explaining why we didn't buy a CB in January despite it being hugely obvious we needed to.
