    Should we go a goal down, surprisingly and against the run of play, then a rousing chorus of this will raise the spirits of the team and fans.

    That's the advantage of this type of board. Different views can be interesting (and sometimes lead to a better understanding of things etc) to read and yet we all support the shirt and club. I don't disagree with your points about his contributing to all this grief, and I will be letting the Club know in a few hours, that's just my preferred way, I'm afraid.

    I personally never boo or insult the team (loudly) when at the game, especially during the game. I don’t think it helps at all. If it looks like NJ will still be in charge, may as well get behind the team.

    A toxic atmosphere at the stadium doesn’t help the players. Although I understand why some would want to voice dissent.

    I will admit to singing anti-Lowe songs before and after the game though… and I can understand if NJ cops it after his comments.

    Nathan Jones Press interview after getting stuffed by Wolves:


    “Teachers always said I wouldn't achieve anything. My parents never believed in me.

    Nurses left me for dead at childbirth because of a lack of oxygen to my brain.

    My Doctor feels I would benefit from electric shock treatment or a full frontal lobotomy.

    But I said I'll prove them wrong and now here I am, the manager of Southampton Football Club”

    It'd be weird to wait until today to do it, doesn't seem long enough to have lined up a replacement if that's the only reason they waited. I'll believe it when I see it after all the false dawns yesterday.

    Yeh, I can't understand why they would have waited until today either but somebody chucked me what may be a very small bone so I grabbed it with both hands

    Possibly Jones was given a stay of execution, then took the training session, only for the board to then realise that some players weren’t training with him?
    Maybe the board aren’t as aware of player feeling as they maybe should be.

    Hopefully that ia the case, it isn't healthy and will rot the club from the inside out.. that'll have a knock on effect going into next season.. and thatll make it worse if we get relegated. Just get rid of him.

    Third-party source through a friend so no, nothing I can confirm. All I know is they work at the training round, no idea what they do there though. Sorry, did say it was a very small bone but here's hoping......

    Apparently Orsic, DCC, ABK & Lavia are all training on their own. Well, not on their own as they're with each other but away from the rest of the group.

    Yeah, it isn't a great look... Isn't a coincidence they were in the B team.
