I too am now not massively optimistic about us avoiding the drop, but do we have to assume Marco Silva will leave. Of course the HDM spent most of last week before our biggest game of the season telling us he would probably be off and indeed had several players out of the door too (with friends like the HDM...). But is it inevitable? For all his faults, Ehab did appoint him, and must realise he is the best hope of not only getting us back up (if we go down) but actually establishing us as a Premier League team. I think Silva is a man of principle and would want to get the team up again, and I think some of the players would ant to stay with him. I'm not convinced a really big English club will offer him a chance yet, and clubs like Watford seem to change manager every year. Get on with it, Ehab. At least give him something to think about.
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh dont upset these fickle ****s. he's asset stripping remember?
Im sure we'd all want him to stay, but we can probably all understand it if he went to a bigger club. Ehab and Silva will have had talks about the future, im sure they both already know if he'll be staying if we go down. I guess we'll find out in a few weeks.
Yes, they've got Puel one of France's most boring mid-table experts, his teams are dreary and he tries to win 1-0. he was unpopular with Lyon where he won nothing. he's turned Southampton into plodders wheras before they were an exciting team under Koeman
Whilst I don't disagree - I wouldn't bet my life that Ehab has had talks with Silva about the future. I'm not sure Ehab's too clued up when it comes to running football clubs..... not sure why I think that though - it must be my sixth sense kicking in
It went home on a train to Sunderland. I can hope we beat Palace and Spurs, but I really don't think we will. If we manage it and survive, fair play. But I'm not getting my hopes up. I'd rather accept relegation now (as shortsighted as it might be) and stomach it and enjoy the last two games as if it was already done, than pin it all on one game and be gutted.
sorry, Im not up with Southamptons history, did Puel fill the gap Koeman left or did Ronald want out?
To good for us, hmmm when he got the job he should never have been given it according to most if not all ex pro's/pundits. Now because he has given us a chance although as he says "not achieved anything" he's to good for us. If we go down is he still to good for us, we were down at Xmas and in may we are still down
For me Palace are a lottery they might be brilliant or crap.. Allardyce will want to tighten up after the thrashing at Man City and a point is good for them but they usually win or lose.. our away form is poor, we simply have to play at our best and take our chances - still don't know how N'Diye missed when scoring was easier vs Slumberland..
So is he any better than phelan, he's had a lot more backing than phelan and we are still in the same position?? In fact ignore me I'm in a mood tonight
got more points than phelan in less games albeit the only top 6 side we've played at home under silva is liverpool compared, to arsenal, chelsea, man utd, man city under phelan and no away wins if silva was here at the start, think we'd be on 40+ now
But the end result could still be relegation, is he still to good for us then? Swannys pissed me off with that comment and I don't normally mind him
