If everyone agrees that this letter can come from all at Southampton not606 board then PM - PM me if you don't agree as well ;) If not, I'm happy to add people's forum names to the letter/card.

Happy either way please add me. Thanks for organising this Helen. If you have to list us all you may need a very big card! :)
 
I said this last week Ian. People are grasping at straws in this "Brexit is to blame for everything" era. Totally agree Pochetino being Argentinian would have had the same effect and Koeman being the very person who professionally fouled Platt, Didn;t get sent off, didn't get the penalty and then scored the free kick later in the game would have got it too. People are just grasping for any reason to blame Brexit for everything.

Think you're missing the point a bit here - the whole Brexit thing and the slide towards the right worldwide has made people feel much more that it's alright to once again reveal their barely veiled xenophobia. When Poch and Koeman were here, that hadn't happened, plus they were relatively successful so no resentment had built up against them.

Sure, you can dislike Puel, or not rate him. That's fine. But the likes of Brexit have suddenly made it loosely 'acceptable' amongst the brainless to then pull nationality in as part of their insult arsenal.
 
Reading about the abuse that he's received from some fans I'm going to do the total opposite and write him a thank you letter. It's the least he deserves.

I'm in too. He absolutely doesn't deserve half the abuse he's been getting, sorry about that Claude. There's still a lot of us who appreciate that it's been a tough season for a multitude of reasons and ultimately we've done alright and have a good base to build from.
