St Louis Posted 15 August, 2018 Share Posted 15 August, 2018 The purchase of Guido Carrillo, I think most fans would agree, whoever responsible should be sacked. Sacked because a guy didnt score in 7 league appearances? He didnt look great admittedly, but it takes time to adjust to the PL, and if he had settled and stayed this season, then he may have done OK longer term? All clubs make transfers that dont work out, its not a sackable offence (unless every signing flops!) And I would guess Pellegrino was the key instigator in this one, backed up by his staff... and they've already been sacked! Reed/Krueger guilty of backing the manager.

Crab Lungs Posted 15 August, 2018 Share Posted 15 August, 2018 (edited) A few predictions for tomorrow; - Ralph will offer up strange platitudes and weird-speak on locker rooms and rosters. He will also take all the difficult questions (if asked) and go off on a tangent from what was originally asked. - Reed will bewitch with corporate mumbo-jumbo and will take any opportunity to link any successes in recent times indirectly back to him. - The player will be dull, dull, dull. - Hughes will be the only one worth listening to but will be guarded and won't give much away (but if you listen carefully, he will). It'll mostly be a season-ticket **** measuring contest between dweebs. The majority of the questions will concern things like concourse facilities and red felt around the pitch. We won't get any closer to what Gao's intentions are, why Forster was given extension after extension despite being horrendously sh1t, why Pellegrino was given almost a full season despite being sh1t and why he was given £20m to spunk on Carillo. There will be no accountability by Reed or Wilson for our recent poor recruitment of playing and coaching staff. There will be no accountability for any of the big stuff. None. A few weirdos will meet Reed etc and come back on here, starry-eyed and will tell everyone how "nice" and "genuine" they are despite riding roughshod and presiding over two years of pretty amateur decision-making.

Crab Lungs Posted 15 August, 2018 Share Posted 15 August, 2018 Oh and I think it's pretty f()kkin poor our owner, who was there Saturday, won't be there. A real opportunity to outline your intentions after approximately a year of owning the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwenTheSaints Posted 15 August, 2018 Share Posted 15 August, 2018 Wasn’t expecting us to actually get much out of tomorrow night, but now they’ve confirmed the player as Danny Ings, my mind has changed. He is definitely the person to offer genuine insight into the club and shed light on what has gone wrong these past few years. Oh, wait.

Sacked because he cost a fortune and wasnt a prolific goalscorer and was nothing more than a pet Pellegrino purchase and he was sacked finally just weeks later. Krueger totally stoned himself by backing a manager that was totally out of his depth and the worst ever statistically ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue is that it was clearly a sop to pellegrino, who clearly should have been sacked by then himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 16 August, 2018 Share Posted 16 August, 2018 I find it baffling why 500 people have paid £2 a head to sit and listen to two woolly headed old farts talking a load of patronising bull**** when only three or four weeks ago fans universally blamed them for everything that had gone wrong since and including when Koeman left and wanted these very same old relics out at any cost, as far away from our club as possible and preferably swinging from the Itchen Bridge. This has to be a new low in brown-nose worshipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Uwe Posted 16 August, 2018 Share Posted 16 August, 2018 I went to one in the summer of 2003. Think it was on the same day as Kevin Phillips signing. Remember Dave Merrington was on good form that night, generally good mood in the room as KP was a big signing for us back then. Rupert Lowe was his usual self It is a long time ago, but pretty sure it was an open floor for questions. Are they being vetted this time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suewhistle Posted 16 August, 2018 Share Posted 16 August, 2018 I would go, but I'm not comfortable with the lack of gender fluid toilets. It's not a joke that gets any better with repetition, Cabbage. On a more general point, I've never been to one of these things, a bit too far for me, but I've never felt the need to criticise or assume anything about the people that are going or even the questions that are going to be asked. Charlie Wayman is not alone in being one of the old women on this thread who like to twitch the curtains and comment negatively on others. Perhaps it makes them feel better, perhaps the inference he and others like him want us to draw is that they are worldly and knowledgeable and superior and not to be taken in. In truth I reckon most on here see them as the tired and tiresome t**ts they are. Perforce, I'll not be engaging further today as I haven't renewed my membership and sometimes the 3 post limit is a blessing.. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Louis Posted 16 August, 2018 Share Posted 16 August, 2018 I have 2 tickets for the Fans Forum on Thurs, and we now cant make it. So if anybody would like them, please let me know.... Free to a good home I'm based in Bournemouth and work in West Parley/Ferndown, if anybody this way fancies going and wants to collect. I still have these available if anybody in Bournemouth fancies them last minute? Despite others predicting it will be the worst night of your life......

Saint-Armstrong Posted 16 August, 2018 Share Posted 16 August, 2018 Question from the floor: Good evening, Mr Reed and Mr Krueger... Mr Reed is the head of all things football here and Mr Krueger, you stated that the buck stops with you. In two years we’ve gone from European contenders to relegation battlers. In that time you’ve sacked two managers. So why have you not done the honourable thing and stepped down from your positions? Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
