As mentioned before Juric said he had been keeping an eye on Saints for a couple of months . He will have had a very good idea on what he has let himself in for. yeah we heard his Black Metal vide , his comment he doesn’t like golf it’s not aggressive enough and that fairly decent fight he had with Roma’s Sporting Director he’s clearly going to messed around with . I’ve worked with many different managers and my experience happy clappy managers don’t always work . These are some young lads they need some direction . They need to respect the guvnor . From what I have seen they are working for him . We have an unsettled team again. Some are still getting over the Russball brainwashing we’ve been hit by injuries, suspensions and more than of fair share of shit refereeing decisions. This is just my opinion yep I’ve backtracked from a lot I said last season, so what ? What I think makes very little difference but I do like the way Dragan has really taken control. I mean seriously everyone watches Premier League football can you imagine the shit he’s had from other businessmen I Don’t don’t feel sorry for him he’s loaded but he must be seriously fucked off. He had that flip out in Saints Hospitality kicking chairs around . He’s walking around chatting to his guests and his team has been humiliated by Spurs FFS The rest of the season is a write off but it gives Juric a lot of valuable time to see who’s pulling thier weight . He’s not going to stand on the touchline wondering whether one of his players needs a hug or not after the game. im damn sure he’s got a decent idea who he can rely on Archer . He’s knows he’s good committed . He’s checking out the other players. Juric will make some strange decisions but he will be looking big picture. This is of course is a lot of speculation but I do know a lot about Dragan, Balkans politics , they way they think. He’s been taking on the Serbian Government and the Russians that’s hardcore. I know a good bit about Juric. It an insane but interesting set up Juric is a Croatian they hate the Serbs and Russia . I find the whole thing fascinating. It just might make for a rollercoaster ride until the end of the season . A really interesting summer. Next season should be great. i didn’t believe some on here who said Dragan was fucked off we didn’t go up in top place . In hindsight it makes sense. yeah a long read if you can be bothered but I do give a shit maybe maybe we can shake up this poncy modern football and upset a few people . Expand This is what i like a lot @manji and credit to you, too many people become myopic about their positions despite new information available and become entrenched, people should always be willing to change their mind based on new info. Also why I am here I checked what the psychoanalyis term is for posters who say something like "I said this back in xxxx and got pelters for it" and its called narcissistic injury which refers to the emotional pain that a narcissist experiences when their self-image or self-worth is threatened. So when anyone says it in future please just be aware that the person is a narcissistic and move along. 1 1

Taken at face value this weeks news is promising, but does seem a bit of familiarity to it, and feeling of haven’t we been here before?

S-Clarke Posted January 16 Posted January 16 I must have missed the Kraft news, I expected some shifts but this is the first notable fist on the table by Dragan. He's let 'his guys' run the show, but now he's openly admitted things aren't right - that's sometimes the first step of creating a better atmosphere amongst the club, admission that things are wrong and we're no longer just plodding along with our fingers in our ears. More football people at the top of the club has been a must ever since they took over, it sounds like Dragan is now fully of that belief.
