    That's life at most clubs though and it's basically Southampton's business model. They'll lose more players in the summer.
    1 win in 17 games is ridiculously poor.

    So who would your money be on for the saints job? Will they be brave or going for one of those old failures? Mark Hughes, Marco Silva, Harry, or take chance on someone like Chris Wilder who has done such a good job at Sheff Utd and Northampton

    I've no idea but someone at the club [Les Reed?] must have someone in mind and 99% sorted? None of those old faces would enthuse me as a player, fan or owner.

    If they don't make a pretty immediate appointment, they're going down.

    I agree regarding the old faces, but Hughes played for them and in his favour he has often been good at getting a response when first arriving at a club and they need that - after the cup tie they play the spammers, the goons, and the chavs so they will have our support in all 3!

    he would be mad to leave Bournemouth for that basket case of a club imho.
    very good manager who could damage his reputation.

    Surely not?!

    I think it will be Pulis, but I'd like to see Alex Neil given another shot in the Premier League.

    Pulis is a good shout. More so because his base is the south coast.

    Would Pulis take it? Could get Boro promoted.

    I think that there's some law that means that anyone sacking a manager when he's unemployed has to give him the job.

    Offer him a £1m bonus to keep them up and he'll do it....he'll **** off in the summer, mind.

    Only 2-0 away at Stoke? Amateurs.

    Chelsky can now form a guard of honour
    for KDB on whatever minute his old
    shirt number was (BobbyD will know that) .

    Marco Silva surely. To me he’s perfect for them.

    There are 3 teams in the mix who I'd very much like to see the back of, albeit for very different reasons.

    West Brom - for playing **** football since as long as I can remember and yet somehow being our bogey team. Also Pardew is a total bellend.

    Southampton - for selling their soul to the Scouse devil, expecting miracles from their conveyor belt of managers and generally running a football club like a business.

    West Ham - I'd like to set a world record of cock reattachments to an individual groin over the course of 24 hours.

    I'd have somehow included Stoke in that equation but I love Crouchy too much.

    Isn't that how Levy has got you where you are?

    Where the only real goal is to generate profit?

    If Levy ran us like Southampton, Kane, Alli, Dier, Alderweireld and Eriksen would no longer be at Spurs and we'd have £500m in the bank that he'd be doing **** all with, not constructing a new stadium.

    People seem to forget that Levy grew up watching spurs on the terraces. He's a genuine fan of the club and genuinely wants what's best for it.

    He has only sold players that demanded to go. And even then he has done his best to get as much as possible and then reinvested the money into new players.

    Saints sell their best players and keep the money.
