Matthew Le God Posted 12 February, 2018 Share Posted 12 February, 2018 Sounds like you are happy to keep the clown in charge? I'm not sure why you think that and jumped to that conclusion, when all I've said is Strachan isn't a good option. Given the choice of Pellegrino or Strachan, I'd pick Strachan, but that isn't the only choice and there are many other managers I'd rather have than Strachan. Of course I'm grateful for what Strachan did in his time at Saints, but football in the Premier League has moved on and Strachan hasn't operated at that level for a very long time (14 years).

Roboze Posted 12 February, 2018 Share Posted 12 February, 2018 i think the main problem here is a general sense of "whats the point?" with our squad. the ones that stay are given an endless round of quality players......that will go within a season or two, leaving the ones that don't thinking "i must be ****e no other clubs want me!", but i am happy to stay and play for the club...............

St Lej Posted 13 February, 2018 Share Posted 13 February, 2018 Hilarious that some people are so utterly incapable of taking off their rose tinted nostalgic specs that they lack the intelligence to see beyond old saints managers from a bygone era like Strachan as being the best option. Embarrassing in fact. He's better than Pellegrino, yes but so am I. And so are literally dozens of current available football managers who are also miles better than Strachan.

Come on, if you plan to asset strip why splurge 17 M on a player arguably not worth that?

Saint Albert Posted 13 February, 2018 Share Posted 13 February, 2018 Who would take an FA Cup win and relegation like Wigan? Nope. Looking at it realistically, the FA Cup draw has by and large kept the better teams separated, with Man U, Chelsea, Leicester, Spurs and City still in the draw and kept apart for the 5th round. At some point we’ll have to face one of them, unless there are several upsets and we get ridiculously lucky with the draw. This manager has not defeated a top 6 team yet, and could not even talk his players into putting in a decent effort at home to Leicester City. The chances of lucking out and drawing a lower division side in the semi finals as we did under Strachan in 2003 won’t be very good this year. Under this manager and with the teams left in this draw, I can’t realistically see us getting to Wembley. I’m going to worry about surviving in the PL.
