I'm happy to be proved wrong but I'm sure it's the same for every club.

If it's true we must do all we can to improve the coaching and set up so kids don't want to leave

Realistically given the choice between MAN UTD , Liverpool , Arsenal , would you choose to remain with SAFC , I don't think many would be able to resist the big guns .

Of course not but if through this takeover we employ the best coaches money can buy then we stand a chance

Think Hughtons teams have always been attractive to watch, barring the couple of seasons in the premier with Brighton and I think that was more cutting his cloth accordingly.Basically trying to keep them up with sound defensive tactics as well as being very well coached, thought he was very unlucky to be sacked.

He’s a good manager and nice fella it seems. Head and shoulders above the manager we have at the minute

One thing I would say in SD's defense is that he is a football fan and has certainly tried to engage with us. I would rather that than a faceless chairman who never talks to the fans unless he has to

100%.. It's easy to forget what it's like to have an owner who doesn't comment for 6 months at a time.

I know SD doesn't help himself at times by his openness, but that's easily outweighed by all the benefits of him doing so.

Genuinely think Chris Hughton could be an option after the takeover. Definitely have better options currently, but many will be at clubs either struggling in the PL, or hoping to get there, who will then struggle and might well kick him out to try and get a new manager bounce. We could offer him a chance to come somewhere where he might be able to build something and where, if he does well enough considering the backing we might well get, he could be the man to bring us back to the PL which would look very good on his CV and then give him a chance in the PL with, hopefully, a competitive budget. Can't say for certain that he'd go for it but he might, and he'd be a very good choice if we could get him, not as radgy as Keane, not as dodgy as Allardyce, just a good man who also seems to be a talented, smart manager. Imagine he'd also happily work with a DoF if we went down that route

I'd rather Sam over most options.. (Klopp would do too).. however, I really like Hughton and would gladly welcome him although I think Sam would take us further.

So not all the manager's fault then

Yes it is as this team should go up with a half decent manager.

Last season I said he had his hands tied as new team but it's not as if he's just started.

We are watching his team now and it's dire even though we've spent loads getting Grigg who has scored for fun past few clubs but not under Ross.

People blame the fans but that's bollocks it's Ross style of play. We look positive half time comes gets his team talk and we come out worse plus can make 90 mins without blowing out arse.

I was on the fence for a while but not anymore Ross out imo

Do you really believe that a manager can give a good pre game talk but for some reason has no idea what to say at half time?

Exactly this, it’s down to fitness and fragile mentality, the fitness is no excuse and falls firmly on the manager the other he should be able to influence if he even manages to take his hands out of his pocket

We tend to play better in one half than the other and which one it is changes from game to game, Ross seems a steady character so that inconsistency is probably on the players.

But when it’s going wrong on the pitch (which it regularly is), standing with your hands in your pockets on the touch line doesn’t seem to be the answer?

Definitely agree that our fitness levels and work rate aren't good enough, we need to press and graft from start to finish and it's never really happened under Ross.

I don't think we're fragile mentally, we've rarely lost with Ross and often fight back after conceding after years of losing every game we conceded first in.
