stevy777_x Posted 11 November, 2019 Share Posted 11 November, 2019 When last season ended, Ralph had indicated he wanted to make some major changes to the backroom staff in the summer and that those changes would be announced through the course of the summer. I was therefore surprised only a new goalkeeper coach came in and a new role was given to Watson. Davis and Fleming were confirmed in their roles. And Rohl later departed. Was Ralph underminded by Wilson and the Saints board? Are the board now realising that keeping the staff was a mistake which means that they are now open to what Ralph initially wanted? Can any ITK shed any light on this??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neef Posted 13 November, 2019 Share Posted 13 November, 2019 Can someone do a breakdown of the backroom staff/board members that have left and joined over the past two years? It feels like Wilson, Ralph, Les, Rohl, now Jahidi seem to leave without replacement. We must be wafer thin atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aintforever Posted 13 November, 2019 Share Posted 13 November, 2019 Must be something seriously wrong at the club with so many jumping ship. Is there actually anyone with any football nouse left above Ralph? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alehouseboys Posted 13 November, 2019 Share Posted 13 November, 2019 It probably started to go wrong with the players once Hugo Scheckter jumped ship to the Dildo Bros. and there was suddenly no-one there to tidy up behind them or run there lives for 'em. We've also lost quite a few others in recent times from various roles behind the scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toussaint Posted 13 November, 2019 Share Posted 13 November, 2019 Yes. Everyone left. It's just Ralph left. That was always the uber control freaks' plan, his vay or the autobahn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersubpuckett Posted 13 November, 2019 Share Posted 13 November, 2019 I've heard the club are setting themselves up for the Championship which could explain why we are either not replacing key roles or are finding it hard to attract people....and why there's a complete absence of ambition or communication. Prob part of Gao's plan to turn SMS into a wharf or a leisure/retail zone. We'll be ground sharing with Eastleigh before you know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not surprise me if there was something in that...perhaps strip the parachute money and invoke relegation release clauses in player contracts. Then rebuild. Crazy but who knows, it makes as much sense as any other suggested strategy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 14 November, 2019 Share Posted 14 November, 2019 Must be something seriously wrong at the club with so many jumping ship. Is there actually anyone with any football nouse left above Ralph? NO Our MD used to be finance director at an aviation company Our CEO used to run a marketing agency I think Our director of legal and risk used to work for Toyota Then you’ve got Goas daughter This perhaps explains why we are champions league when it comes to midweek social media tweets but utterly shambolic at anything to do with football. In what world do you have a board of directors where not one of them comes from the industry? I’m sure they are decent people but it’s an Absolute joke.

It's a real measure of how much fabulous real estate development there has been across the City of Southampton that the only option for a developer looking to build a new retail/leisure wharf is to bulldoze the Premier League football stadium and build over it. Such a pity there are no other sites anywhere that could be built on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get the impression that a few young Business Studies graduates have been recruited instead. Hence all the new PR initiatives, which are p!ssing off fans. Somebody in the club must have had the idea that this was the way to both save and make more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
