That's if the ticket actually sells, which I doubt it will

You'd be better off passing it onto a mate who's up for giving Martin some stick.

Will get passed around needlessly at the back before being given to an opposition fan.

Instead of exchanging your tickets, why don't you protest outside? No wonder our board don't seem to know our displeasure if you can't be bothered to do anything about it.

I’m not even going to bother putting my ticket on the exchange.  More chance of bumping into Lord Lucan than actually selling it.

Or if you've already paid just turn up and give the cunt some stick in the ground?

If we can get him, Moyes is the obvious choice. The most experienced manager out there who is available.

There's a ton of jobless managers that could be worth a look at.
No idea if any would consider us, but there's plenty of experience out there.

Top of my head:
Rudi Garcia (of Marseille, Lyon, Napoli fame)
Benitez (of Everton fame :-)
Sarri ( would love him... )
N. Lennon ( did ok with Celtic, since then not much)
Klinsmann (if we can have Koeman, why not our fav German)
Hjulmand (ex Denmark manager)
Ivic (SR might want a Serbian in ... ex-watford if I remember correclty)

Pretty sure Puel and Pellegrino are also available :-)

You get looked at sideways at SMS for dropping a swear word. I think I'd be pepper sprayed if I went all Arab Spring by Ted Bates, to be honest.

At this time there is just 1 ticket for sale on the club site and that is in block 29.

Surprised given it's at 7pm on a Sunday.

I gave up my season ticket temporarily this season as I've got a little one on the way very soon. I was planning on going to a fair few home games this side of Christmas but I haven't been to a single one - just not interested in paying to watch us play like shit when I can watch every game at home.

Whilst bemoaning the potential loss of £12 million (in redundancy pay) ... IF..  we sack RM & Co.   One might like to compare that to

the astronomical sums squandered on "poor" signings in the last 10 years .  These are some of the " cheapies" (those under 10 mill.)

Carrillo, Boufal, Lemina, Djenepo, Elyounoussi, Hoedt... (should I include Vestergaard?).  That lot alone cost a good lick over £100 million.

(plus their inflated salaries) ..In comparison to that lot, dishing out another £12 mill. to get a new face in might seem like a drop in the Ocean. 

 

I don't like seeing managers come and go, but without the likes of a Tony Pulis or " Big Sam" (who were experts and keeping clubs UP), 

there doesn't seem to be any viable replacements on the horizon.... and everyone seems to be avoiding Potter like the plague (?)

IF... RM doesn't change "something" in the formation there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel, and this lot need a good kick

up the a*se from an  S.O.B. who can get results - without pandering to their every whim and excusing their every failure.   Rant over.

Can this thread be closed and other similars monitored. No point causing this much discussion until anything official comes from the club, especially on a subject this sensitive.

My two tickets went on the exchange a couple of days ago and are still there I believe.

Not sure if this is a serious post or not! Baseless discussion is at the very heart of any Forum. Whether it it is the Mangagers situation, prospective transfers, or Doris the Tea Lady's position. If you just wait for "facts" you will have a very dull Forum.........

Do you honestly believe they don’t know already? Do you not know they read social media ?

Why the fuck is he still here 

 

I think we must've all been very naughty boys and girls in a previous life.

 

Or maybe SR are making £££ by placing bets on him staying when every half competent human agrees he should've long gone.

 

Slightly amused by the billing of tonight's prem game as a "sack" event  with little comment on our fine position/record and no hint of movement.

Hope these fans are back with one for RM. Although they did get kicked out of the stadium that day

Brilliant, top quality, shame on the club for kicking them out for that.

Wasn't Ralph's contract end-date June of this year...?

Is it fair play that we have to be shackled to a clueless manager with owners who do nothing about his abysmal record this season?

Seems us announcing Martin has been sacked is about as slow as our forward play .

The letter is currently in a misplaced post bag after being passed between administrators in the same corridor, and lost somewhere.

You just know that when it does finally happen, he won't be sacked - it'll be a conscious uncoupling or some bullshit.

We’re literally paying none of these ex managers off

How are these games selling out given the performance of the team? Are they going to away fans and just football tourists? 

Leicester had loads of spare seats yesterday.

I wondered this. Sadly (luckily?) for health reasons it is currently difficult for me to get to games, so I have put my tickets on the Exchange and they have sold very quickly. Not complaining.....just surprised that games are "selling out" in the current situation....

I hope any health reasons improve for you.

Note that a pathological aversion to going to a home game isn't a health condition, it's just your brain trying to save itself.

I've been a season ticket holder for 20 years, go to 15+ away games most seasons. Anything but a fair weather fan pal. The club have had loads of money out of me. I've had zero interest in going this season, if the club are going to take the piss out of the fans then **** them.

Don’t be ridiculous, you don’t pay ex managers when they’re working again.

This thread sums up how vitriolic this place has become over the past few years.  It seems the success we enjoyed in the mid-2010s has turned a lot of us into an entitled bunch.  
 

Saintsforever was a more enjoyable experience. Saints were shite, but they were our shite. Now it’s just embarrassing barbs at each other and one-upmanship.
