CB Fry Posted 10 May, 2017 Posted 10 May, 2017 But you won the League 2 title. I'd say that was a good season.
nta786 Posted 10 May, 2017 Posted 10 May, 2017 Blimey. Yes the seasons had more bad than good but this is an overreaction
Mr Saints Posted 10 May, 2017 Posted 10 May, 2017 Administration was quite a while ago now to be fair. It's been continued success since then, big summer ahead as we're going backwards for the first time since the Liebherr takeover.
Matthew Le God Posted 10 May, 2017 Posted 10 May, 2017 Administration and points deduction... Out of the 92 clubs in the country 2016/17 Southampton 10th out of 92 - with Puel 2008/09 Southampton 44th out of 92 - admin & points deduction and... 2016/17 Portsmouth 69th out of 92 - cue mass celebrations from the Skates
Daft Kerplunk Posted 10 May, 2017 Posted 10 May, 2017 Some good days out but overall boring. The amount of times the stands have been half empty at the end of a match says everything you need to know about the lack of entertainment. At some point the board may remember that football is something that should entertain on some level. It is really not just about winning for fans of clubs like saints but we do expect committed performances and having a go. Many of the good moments this season saw us lose too like the San Siro and Wembley trips. Wouldn't swap them for the world but they weren't successes. C- Significant room for improvement

saint77 Posted 10 May, 2017 Posted 10 May, 2017 Administration and points deduction... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Probably entertainment wise
RedWillie Posted 10 May, 2017 Posted 10 May, 2017 Puell is taking us backwards. The players clearly aren't enjoying it and we certainly ain't.
Heisenberg Posted 10 May, 2017 Posted 10 May, 2017 Horrendous football and Puel is excruciatingly dull. But worse than league 1 and points deduction..... Nah
Whitey Grandad Posted 10 May, 2017 Posted 10 May, 2017 It's been a sh1t season. Whatever went before is no longer relevant.
VectisSaint Posted 10 May, 2017 Posted 10 May, 2017 Horrendous football and Puel is excruciatingly dull. But worse than league 1 and points deduction..... Nah He said the worst since admin and points deduction. Really don't see much to argue with there. It is, by far. We may be 10th currently, but the lack of goals, excitement, entertainment, wins at home, players with flair and passion, manager with lack of imagination, passion or personality and a board who seemingly care not a jot means it is really very poor. Something needs to change soon and drastically.
Saint_clark Posted 11 May, 2017 Posted 11 May, 2017 Puell is taking us backwards. The players clearly aren't enjoying it and we certainly ain't. I don't think any manager would have done anything else other than take us backwards after finishing 6th.
Huffton Posted 11 May, 2017 Posted 11 May, 2017 You can all sit there and hapyt clap yourselves into an internet induced frenzy, but the op is correct. Every season since admin we have improved, this year we have gone backwards.
hypochondriac Posted 11 May, 2017 Posted 11 May, 2017 Threads like this really annoy me. There are legitimate criticisms of this season about entertainment, lack of Goals, poor performances etc but this cr*p just discredits any criticism because it's so ridiculous.
kwsaint Posted 11 May, 2017 Posted 11 May, 2017 Puel is up there with Brandfoot Really? Puel may be getting the team playing boring football and the majority of the supporters would wish him replaced, but no way is it up with the level of vitriol directed at Branfoot. I remember all the protests and season ticket holders in the West Stand gathered round the directors box giving the directors serious grief. McMenemy turned up as director of football and Branfoot was gone the following week. Agree that we were bound to backwards this season, but my view is that Puel has not got the best out of this bunch of players, and the football is SO boring
SKD Posted 11 May, 2017 Posted 11 May, 2017 You can all sit there and hapyt clap yourselves into an internet induced frenzy, but the op is correct. Every season since admin we have improved, this year we have gone backwards. I agree. Obviously the day we went into Admin with points deduction was a dark day, but since Markus saved us, everything has been pretty rosy since. In terms of position of course it's not as bad as being n L1 (we'll maybe not true as we had a very ambitious owner and chairman) however, in terms of enjoyment, performances and value for money it is.
Nordic Saint Posted 11 May, 2017 Posted 11 May, 2017 What a difference a year has made to our Club. Consistently poor decsions from the top have resulted in a surprisingly rapid decline. I remember the feeling of absolute elation in May last year and couldn't wait for this season to begin. Then Les Reed got to work, alienating staff both on and off the pitch, getting rid of the best ones and wasting the money on poor replacements.
doddisalegend Posted 11 May, 2017 Posted 11 May, 2017 Don't worry Lander will be here soon and this season will seem like a dream compared to what is probably coming next.

Dellman Posted 11 May, 2017 Posted 11 May, 2017 I understand the OP, every season since Admin and -10 has been a step up, cheers, but this season has been a step back. Sorry to see the Liebherrs ending on a poorer note. Now that it has turned I am afraid new owners may take us down the slippery slope.
hutch Posted 11 May, 2017 Posted 11 May, 2017 Right on. I'm starting to believe we'll never beat Cheltenham in the league

Dalek2003 Posted 11 May, 2017 Posted 11 May, 2017 We have not been relegated, so an ok season for all concerned.
Nordic Saint Posted 3 January, 2018 Posted 3 January, 2018 What a difference a year has made to our Club. Consistently poor decisions from the top have resulted in a surprisingly rapid decline. I remember the feeling of absolute elation in May last year and couldn't wait for this season to begin. Then Les Reed got to work, alienating staff both on and off the pitch, getting rid of the best ones and wasting the money on poor replacements. Another year, the poor decisions from the top continue and the decline accelerates. I'm surprised that anyone is surprised and even more surprised that anyone still thinks that Reed will spend the money wisely on good replacement managers and players.
Jonnyboy Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 Don't worry Lander will be here soon and this season will seem like a dream compared to what is probably coming next. A nightmare more like.
SW5 SAINT Posted 4 January, 2018 Posted 4 January, 2018 But you won the League 2 title. I'd say that was a good season. What title, in my lifetime (60 years ) i can't remember us winning title..?
