LGTL Posted 27 April, 2018 Posted 27 April, 2018 If you didn't laugh you'd probably jump out the window of the nearest tall building. Probably one of, if not the most stupid decision in our history.
Cabrone Posted 27 April, 2018 Posted 27 April, 2018 I'm surprised they sacked him, I really thought he was going to be here till the bitter end. Either way it was far too late. Despite all the cranial discharge pumped out on here just about every poster realised he was to winning games what Dani Osvaldo was to model professionalism long before the club did anything. Les Reed, what a total balloon head.
Pilchards Posted 27 April, 2018 Posted 27 April, 2018 People might be angry with Pellegrino but his record is probably better than Mark Hughes. (puts on his tin hat)
Wade Garrett Posted 27 April, 2018 Posted 27 April, 2018 It was just Les in self-preservation mode. Leaving it as long as he did in the vain hope that Pellegrino would turn it around, when it was obvious to all and sundry that he was total sh*t. He should be sacked on this alone. A complete bell end.
Pamplemousse Posted 27 April, 2018 Posted 27 April, 2018 People might be angry with Pellegrino but his record is probably better than Mark Hughes. (puts on his tin hat) We started well (ish, we were midtable), that was probably still the effect of Puel, and as Pellegrino implemented his tactics more, we got worse. Thoroughly embarrassing all round that he a) got the job in the first place and b) wasn't sacked after his predecessor embarrassed him.

Thoroughly embarrassing all round that he a) got the job in the first place and b) wasn't sacked after his predecessor embarrassed him. The effect of Puel who managed 1 win and 2 draws in the last 8 games of the season, with 0 goals in our final 5 home matches. You really need to think about what you post. Puel becmae a ****ing disaster who is largely responsible for where we are now. He is heading the same way at Leicester just to prove that his achievement wasn't just a fluke.

Puel, responsible for leading two teams to two top half finishes in successive seasons, is responsible for us being in the relegation zone. I'm sure even you don't really believe that
Batman Posted 27 April, 2018 Posted 27 April, 2018 Pellegrino is my favourite shyte manager we have ever had He was so appalling it became tragic

You really need to think about what you post. Puel becmae a ****ing disaster who is largely responsible for where we are now. He is heading the same way at Leicester just to prove that his achievement wasn't just a fluke. Come on mate, we lost a Cup Final in February, were mid-table and had nothing to play for, no threat of relegation - most teams would have petered out in those closing matches. Absolutely nothing to play for and the players were probably still flat from losing a Cup Final that we could have won.
Nordic Saint Posted 27 April, 2018 Posted 27 April, 2018 March FFS. We kept him until ****ing March MARCH! And we weren't in the bottom 3 when we sacked him. Now we are 4 points adrift and out of the FA Cup. It's shocking how fast things have gone downhill since then, isn't it?
Saint Albert Posted 27 April, 2018 Posted 27 April, 2018 Letting Pellegrino stay on as late as he did was an obviously terrible decision. Firing Puel without having a decent manager lined up was also a terrible decision. We would have stood a slightly better chance at survival with Puel in charge instead of the hapless Pellegrino. Firing Puel with a more competent replacement available would have been a decent move, for me. Under Puel we dropped from 63 points to 46, and his teams produced a dull, turgid brand of football that alienated many supporters. It is telling that some of the issues reported about Puel last year, especially touching on player discontentment with his methods and fan disdain for the final product on the pitch, are repeating themselves at Leicester.
brmbrm Posted 27 April, 2018 Posted 27 April, 2018 Letting Pellegrino stay on as late as he did was an obviously terrible decision. Firing Puel without having a decent manager lined up was also a terrible decision. Hang on, you can't have it both ways: either you get the replacement lined up before the sack or you sack on (de) merit.
S-Clarke Posted 27 April, 2018 Posted 27 April, 2018 Letting Pellegrino spend £20m of our hard-to-find cash on his mate, was the worst thing I've ever seen any professional football club do.
nta786 Posted 27 April, 2018 Posted 27 April, 2018 (edited) Letting Pellegrino spend £20m of our hard-to-find cash on his mate, was the worst thing I've ever seen any professional football club do. I find this worse than him being sacked so late tbh. I would rather have spent £19m and another 7/8m more on getting Promes in.... Put on a relegation wage clause and a relegation buyout clause of say £20m If he doesn’t perform well then someone can take him for £20m, and if he performed so bad that no one would pay £20m, then he can play in the Championship at a reduced wage. I guess all this is easier said than done Edited 27 April, 2018 by nta786
View From The Top Posted 27 April, 2018 Posted 27 April, 2018 Letting Pellegrino spend £20m of our hard-to-find cash on his mate, was the worst thing I've ever seen any professional football club do. Yep, it's a very tough one to top in many respects. We allowed a truly awful manager to spend £20m on a truly awful player just before sacking him. Utter insanity.
woodsaint Posted 27 April, 2018 Posted 27 April, 2018 Should have went after the Leicester defeat and certainly after the Spurs battering on boxing day. Would have given a new manager the window and we wouldnt have ended up with Carillo
tobes8 Posted 27 April, 2018 Posted 27 April, 2018 Letting Pellegrino spend £20m of our hard-to-find cash on his mate, was the worst thing I've ever seen any professional football club do. You have to ask is les reed ok?? Or is he completely losing his marbles because that deal was a complete cluster ****.. that’s ineptitude of the highest order. Someone needs to refer him to occupational health to make sure his still with it. This season could have been rectified had the numpty admitted his mistake and had the balls to admit he’d made a mistake.

Must mean there was no unity with the group above pellegrino. Obviously, a mess as Ralph admitted no one person is in charge
Batman Posted 6 May, 2018 Posted 6 May, 2018 Watching us now just highlights the clubs decision to keep pellegrino for as long as we did just beyond a joke

OttawaSaint Posted 6 May, 2018 Posted 6 May, 2018 We can cry about handballs refs and stoppage time but if we get relegated the blame lies squarely on Les Reed. To dither so long with MoPe and even sanction a $20M transfer when all we needed was to pay off MoPe and get in Hughes in January.

This season could have been rectified had the numpty admitted his mistake and had the balls to admit he’d made a mistake. Carrillo is no doubt being paid like a record signing at saints. He can’t even make the match day squads ffs. He will have to be loaned out with us no doubt paying a percentage of his wage, whilst we are in the championship and having to stump up his transfer fee instalments over the next couple of years. **** you les Reed
Saints foreva Posted 6 May, 2018 Posted 6 May, 2018 Just hope some actual stick is aimed at the board when we're relegated next week. Our fans have been far too nice to Les, Ralph, Gao and Kat this season.

If we're down after Tuesday then the last game should be a clear "**** you" to Les and Ralph and a wake up call to Gao.

Raging Bull Posted 6 May, 2018 Posted 6 May, 2018 How bad was pellegrino really? Anyone think we would be down already had we stuck by him? Absolutely. Although he’d have been delighted with yesterday’s “win”

I'm sure some ITK suggested Ralph was the member in the board room fighting MoPes corner when others wanted him out....can't seem to find the post know though.

Something wrong when the Board are swayed by the thoughts of an ex ice hockey coach. It's Woodwardesque. We really should get rid of the lot of them.

But if you believe the speil Reed was convinced he had Tuchel, huge error and again believed in his ego, in business nothing is watertight until it's signed , negotiating is not one of Les's skills
OttawaSaint Posted 6 May, 2018 Posted 6 May, 2018 Weren't you the one still crying about the Watford goal literally months afterwards? Still can’t read and comprehend simple sentences eh? Still following me around? Go be a massive bellend somewhere else please!
Lord Duckhunter Posted 6 May, 2018 Posted 6 May, 2018 I won't be letting the players off. Some of their performances have been unacceptable this season. They're putting it all in now, but haven't done previously. As late as Hughes came in, we weren't in the bottom 3, West Ham was totally unacceptable, both Chelsea and Arsenal were there for the taking, as were Leicester and Everton. We've got 2 ****ing tough games, because we didn't pick up an extra point or 2 under Hughes when we should of. It's typical of these bunch of ****s, that they'll probably lose to Swansea, beat City and still go down. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The9 Posted 6 May, 2018 Posted 6 May, 2018 Yeah but....... And he was right. They just couldn't do it with a fackwit like him in charge.

To dither so long with MoPe and even sanction a $20M transfer when all we needed was to pay off MoPe and get in Hughes in January. Totally agree. Had the correct and only obvious outcome been made after the Leicester (home) match in December, or even after Spurs(away), Palace (home) in January the present mess could have been avoided. Reed.... beyond belief. Yep, it's a very tough one to top in many respects. We allowed a truly awful manager to spend £20m on a truly awful player just before sacking him. Utter insanity. ... and then to compound the earlier error with this... Reed/Wilson ... pair of inept cretins.
Chewy Posted 6 May, 2018 Posted 6 May, 2018 And then compound it even further by not buying a centre back. For the third successive transfer window.
Pamplemousse Posted 6 May, 2018 Posted 6 May, 2018 How bad was pellegrino really? Anyone think we would be down already had we stuck by him? We would have enjoyed 'perfect' performances as we sunk to the bottom of the league. 5 points from our last three games, we would've got at most two under Pellegrino. How he got the job is anyone's guess, what a cock up.

How he got the job is anyone's guess, what a cock up. Everyone's been moaning about ref decisions against Watford, Chelsea, and Everton ... In hindsight I think the most costly one was the penalty we got v West Ham giving us our only win before mid October. Maybe if we'd not won someone would have sacked him sooner? It really has been a catalogue of mis-management.
