Can't believe we let Shane go now, absolutely ridiculous decision!

At the end of last season I was in such despair that I wanted 90% of the squad gone. Che has done ok, some moments of magic but I wouldn't call him consistent. If he is to go then I hope we can get an experienced striker to replace him (I know, I know!). Silver lining; it may give Adam Armstrong more breathing space... Che and him had a pretty similar first season for us if I recall correctly.

If he goes and we don't bring anyone else in then I fully appreciate the meltdown that will follow on here...

However, I don't know why, but I'm quietly optimistic about this season. We did need a shake up, and that's exactly what we've got.

Either way, it's not the end of the world... Enjoy life.

Yep good balanced post. I felt exactly the same at the end of last season and agree about Che.
But we are only one game in and 2 weeks left of the transfer window. Yes, Saturday's performance was just like a continuation of last season but until the recruiting has finished we can't know what to expect. The unhappiness has carried over and has led to some early neurosis from some of our more unstable followers.
Personally, I'm not overly optimistic but if we wait 2 weeks and nothing changes, we can then have a group panic attack.

Sounds like Coady to Everton and Diop to Fulham. Would have loved to see either of those (or both) in our back four this season.
 
West Ham also want to get rid of Benrahma apparently. Wonder if a PL team will go in for him. Seems like a Forest/Fulham signing.

Well he's not is he. If he was going to be sacked, it would have happened at the end of last season. I think he's got until the World Cup break to improve things on the pitch and that's the right thing to do IMO. No sense in sacking him now.

Exactly the point I made to a mate the other day. Makes no sense, however frustrating it may become, to make such a move beforehand.

If we keep losing then the pressure from the fan base will likely force the board to act.

If we lose the first 6 games he is gone. Fans won’t stand for it.

Not saying we will lose all of them btw. Just saying it’s silly to say that he has a certain amount of time or number of games.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!! 05.00
St Badger is at Bournemouth International Airport en route to Spain with a view to securing a permanent transfer.
Talks are ongoing and could take a few more weeks to complete, but will hopefully be concluded before the transfer window slams shut.
Also, hopefully, it won’t come down to a fitness test.

Worry not, fellow Saints fans. Did I not tell you that the La Liga team most local to me is FC Elche?
We’re working on a swap deal, which would see me stay over here and one Guido Marcelo Carrillo move the opposite way.
You’re welcome. <laugh><laugh><laugh>

You don’t remember lovely Chris Nicol then?

Say what you like about Nicholl, but he managed to crow bar Rideout, Rod Wallace, Matt and Shearer in the team that destroyed then champions Liverpool. For that alone he has my respect. Remember what came and afterwards
