    Did he say that?

    Apologies, I should ask when he said that.

    Give it to Lallana & Stephens.

    Rasmus never said that, it was someone from Goztepe rather than SR.

    In terms of your theory about Saints being part of a plan to generate revenue for Goztepe... you think the strategy is to let Saints get relegated from the PL (the main source of serious revenue) in order to somehow fund these other clubs?

    They're not, but that's because Sunday and Monday have frequently been the days off this season (apparently). So take anything that tit JTaylorITK says with a large dose of salt.

    Just me who thinks you’d be getting them in more often to work on some of the **** we are continuously getting wrong? Particularly when we are in the position we are. Obviously there’s a balance. But it’s a bit like how we look really unfit compared to other teams. You can’t be their best mates all the time Martin. Same sort of mentality as him saying he doesn’t feel any pressure and is having fun. Wrong message, wrong mentality.

    One thing that Russell should learn for his future managerial career is that pride comes before a fall and it is not a weakness to compromise your beliefs if things are patently not working when you have to work with the limited tools you are given.
    I don't really care much about what he says in his pressers and still think that he a talent for man management but he's really the wrong man at the wrong time for us right now.
    Thanks for last season but the time has come for change.

    Whenever someone mentions fitness I think of the Pochettino episode with players moaning about training only for the intensity to increase

    So is there anyone on here that still wants him?

    I thought Spiderman said he did to me a while ago, but haven't seen anyone else.

    I'm still yet to vote but can't bring myself to vote for the 'just another Nathan Jones' option as I think he's worse.

    Should be a “Stick with him as we’re down anyway, then replace before start of next season” option

    That's pretty much why I voted to keep him.
