ALWAYS_SFC Posted 2 September, 2019 Posted 2 September, 2019 Do we need a another thread about this as you have told us on nearly every thread about what happened and what he did, its time to move on and look to the future, you need to find another obsession. Try not to bore us with it over and over, there`s a good boy
Nordic Saint Posted 2 September, 2019 Posted 2 September, 2019 It does feel as though a great weight has been lifted from the club now that he has gone. He was about as trustworthy as a shady used car dealer. The constant stream of negative PR 'leaks' about players and managers he had fallen out with created a very bad atmosphere at the club, undermined team morale and bitterly divided the fans (let's not forget, there was a minority of fanatical Reedites who regarded him as God and hated all the players and managers he wanted them to hate). Just glad that he has gone.

Just glad that he has gone. Agreed. Would Ralph be here now if Reed wasn't fired? I very much doubt it Recovery is on, but will be long.
Micky Posted 2 September, 2019 Posted 2 September, 2019 At the top of his momentum curve he was very very good, at the bottom of his momentum curve he was very very bad. Like the curve, it's now time to move on......
Turkish Posted 2 September, 2019 Posted 2 September, 2019 I miss his interviews. I used to love seeing his chubby little face boasting about how carefully he plans for everything. My favourite story was his secret file of managers we have been tracking for years that only he has access to. It was an amazing coincidence that the managers on the list all happened to be unemployed right at the time when we needed one.
Batman Posted 2 September, 2019 Posted 2 September, 2019 (edited) I will never ever forget how he sat smugly, in front of the camera, telling everyone that 'Mauricio' plays fast, high intensity football. Mauricio believes with the quality we have we can play exciting, attacking football, taking the game to our opponents by playing a high-intensity game. He will continue to develop and introduce young players whilst building on the core of experience that we have in the squad. During the recruitment process Mauricio quickly became our first choice and, while he had other options, we are delighted he feels that St Mary’s is the right place for him and we believe he is the right fit for us. what unfolded was tragically hilarious Peak Les Reed below Edited 2 September, 2019 by Batman
Heisenberg Posted 2 September, 2019 Author Posted 2 September, 2019 Did the "black box" die with Les? Don't hear much talk on it now Or the "Bridge of the Starship Enterprise" as Les fondly called it. His time here was like a bbc three mockumentary Glad to see he still has his supporters though. Makes it easier to spot the Skates

Dellman Posted 2 September, 2019 Posted 2 September, 2019 We've got rid of the disastrous Kreuger-Reed combine. The present leaders don't say much or appear much but they have got out of the club (for the moment) all the poor buys and others who wouldn't cut it and they have bought two forwards and an exciting defender. Fair play they have quietly done the business and put the manager and the finances in a much improved position. Every one who is here now wants to be here and wants to buy into the manager's style. Better times ahead!

Tamesaint Posted 2 September, 2019 Posted 2 September, 2019 Please can you start a few more threads about how bad you think Les Reed was? Good idea. I am sure that Shurlock would like it.

Saint_clark Posted 2 September, 2019 Posted 2 September, 2019 Let's just ignore the 6 years of excellent work before the first big wrong decision (not paying Koeman the extra he wanted).
Heisenberg Posted 2 September, 2019 Author Posted 2 September, 2019 The name Les Reed seems to be a trigger word for a lot Suppose if I'd backed him so vocally I'd also be a little triggered when reminded of his time here. It's OK to say you were wrong lads. We March On
alpine_saint Posted 2 September, 2019 Posted 2 September, 2019 Some posters just go on and on. Sorry, had to a double-take on this post
Pamplemousse Posted 2 September, 2019 Posted 2 September, 2019 He should have been sacked long before he eventually departed.
suewhistle Posted 2 September, 2019 Posted 2 September, 2019 Sorry, had to a double-take on this post Yes. I had a little chuckle.. As for the OP, boringly repetitive. His spelling is poor too.
Tamesaint Posted 2 September, 2019 Posted 2 September, 2019 Yes. I had a little chuckle.. As for the OP, boringly repetitive. His spelling is poor too. ... and his grammar bears an uncanny resemblance to that of other posters on here.
