Pilchards Posted 6 February, 2023 Share Posted 6 February, 2023 Get a replacement lined up first before you pull the trigger. Nothing worse than the board being in the public eye as manager after manager turns us down. Give it a couple of weeks IMHO we will have a new manager in if it all plans out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintJakko Posted 6 February, 2023 Share Posted 6 February, 2023 No club does well with a turgid atmosphere. The players are split, not working to the full for each other. Fans DETEST the manager and have zero faith. Everything is toxic. It will not work. Good bye the club I love and hello toxicity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGTL Posted 6 February, 2023 Share Posted 6 February, 2023 Absolutely fucking mental decision. This lunatic should never be stepping foot on SFC property again after that shambles of a weekend. I hope one of the players absolutely lamps him. Pathetic, weak, embarrassment of a decision if he isn’t gone by Saturday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edprice1984 Posted 6 February, 2023 Share Posted 6 February, 2023 Looking forward to taking my 11 year old daughter to her first (and at this rate) last Premier League game on Saturday.

Wade Garrett Posted 6 February, 2023 Share Posted 6 February, 2023 It seems that Ankersen and Semmens saving face is much more important than the future of Saints. There has to be some sort of coordinated protest at this complete derogation of duty. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, you suspend him and put him on gardening leave pending outcome of any investigation. You don't let him continue doing his job! If that is the case and we're waiting for an investigation and talking to proposed options, then just suspend Jones. We don't even need to replace him by Saturday in order to get a 'bounce' in mood. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Nimbus Posted 6 February, 2023 Share Posted 6 February, 2023 If, as was reported, all decisions made in January were geared at survival, has that gone out the window in February?

Fabrice29 Posted 6 February, 2023 Share Posted 6 February, 2023 1 hour ago, saintscottofthenortham said: I imagine being shunned for the Fans Forum is a big part. If they don’t give him any privilege, he owes them nothing. He is to be a voice for the fans in the press. If he has a relationship with the club, which he did, he has to manage that somewhat. If he doesn’t, it’s free country. Can we end this theory that Blackmore has been shunned in anyway whatsoever regarding any status/goings on at the club. 2/3 weeks ago he had a sit down exclusive interview with the two main people at the club.
