Listening to the egotistical incoherent scar tissue and being brave post match bollocks by Tambourine whacker Martin...... 

When is the penny actually going to drop for Dragan? Mass changed are needed!

It won't. He's as clueless as the other clowns involved with SR.

Sorry, did you not watch the game yesterday ffs?  I can understand the frustration most of the weeks but you won't find many teams being 2-1 up against top of the table after an hour this season.

It doesn’t matter when and in what order the goals are scored. All that matters is the end result.

[Saint in Paradise]

Is it just me or does anyone else wonder if the people who produced that new Jaguar advert

took inspiration from watching Saints? 😁

Am I breaking any U.K. Laws by saying that In my personal very humble opinion I think that both

that advert and Saints are massively cringe worthy in places. 😒

[ChristopheVAFC]

SR seems to be finding it difficult to make certain decisive decisions, particularly in sporting terms.

I'm talking about the first-team coach, but even if it's never an easy choice, it's sometimes necessary for something to change.

So yes, even the players are responsible for the situation, because they're the ones on the pitch, but the coach also has his share of responsibility.

Your coach, like ours, is not very far from the end of his contract, given the sporting results, but SR doesn't seem to want to press the button just yet...

[ericie]

Does the bloke from Dyson who is helping to run the (shit)show honestly want this on his CV going forward? 🤔

[FredVaFC59100]

is SR a non profit organization ?

Gotzepe looks more and more like a fluke given Saints and VAFC performances.

How are the Saints' youth and B teams doing ? VAFC youth teams were at least doing pretty well under previous ownership, now it is a disaster! 

[franniesTache]

I'm guessing the main reason SR are slow to act on footballing matters is because they're still trying to get THE FIVE PLEDGES together, and there's no way any football club can operate (let alone win games) without THE FIVE PLEDGES.

Martin is definitely going tonight even if not formally confirmed until tomorrow.

That’s only the battle - the war is that Rasmus Ankerson has to be in the cross-hairs of every Southampton supporter.

Russell Martin is gone, that’s a racing certainty after more ridiculous playing out from the back and defensive disasters.

I reckon it won’t end there though, I reckon we could be looking at the restructure of SR, Rasmus sidelined with Kraft and a new DoF coming in.

Unfortunately, I don't think they've been discussing the manager's future with a TV crew filming it.

They should be though.

I wouldn’t be so sure, I can see Bitcon in that picture MB posted and that might well be Dragan on the end. You don’t have a meeting of very senior figures like that mid-match unless the 💩 is hitting the fan.

[Saint_clark]

There is absolutely no way they're discussing Martin getting sacked. People are reaching like crazy.

Maybe he isn’t sacked straight away but that is big trouble brewing with all those senior figures convening like that in one place.

Could be the only time they could all come together in the diaries and Martin’s fate was already sealed? The cameras are odd I’ll grant you, but SR do a lot of very odd things.

It’s as subtle as a fart in Winchester Cathedral that’s for sure and they don’t care about being seen.

We might as well have Joanna Lumley in goal.

[Gloucester Saint]

If Dragan is any of sort of leader or businessman, he should be making the paint come off the boardroom walls and admonish himself in the bargain.

Take some fucking responsibility, restructure the whole thing, get a DoF in and dissolve those two Danish clowns out of SR. Bitcon can do one as well.

He might as well be into Moonpig. Judgement is not good, put it that way. If I was more into horse racing (I should be living around here), I wouldn’t take a tip from Dragan.

True. It’s a suicidal style of play anyway but when you have your 4th choice keeper in it’s just lunacy.

[S-Clarke]

They have no idea what they're doing. I'm scared for the future of our club, especially with January coming up.

If I was Dragon I'd pull up the draw bridge and not spend a single penny in January, it would be foolish to do so. This season is done, we need to save as much as we can for the Championship season.

They hit the woodwork 5 or 6 times over the course of the match, could easily have been 10.
