    SR have proven that they aren't working for the fans. Last time we were relegated we sold anybody who had a decent value. Amazing who we sold considering we were crap. We then replaced them with quite a few loanees. We were lucky to be promoted and then had to rebuild a team so we bought some of our loanees and bought some real rubbish and further loaned some rubbish.


    IN 3 SEASONS WE HAVE BEEN RELEGATED TWICE.

    WE HAVE HAD AT LEAST 5 MANAGERS

    THIS MODEL DOES NOT WORK. SR ARE CLUELESS

    There's absolutely 0 chance I'm paying these prices next year. (Although I probably should note divorce is likely to be more expensive!)

    I don't care about the pub or the fan zones, I'll pay asking price to see a competitive team. Not this ****e

    Equally maybe but regardless he was offering nothing going forward & positionally a liability. Had to be hooked & was.

    Is now a good time to ask if I was right to point out that this season would be more fun if we weren't promoted :bandit:

    I haven't yet read back through this thread, but that was one of the most disgraceful performances I've ever seen from Saints. Disgusting from first minute to last.

    We were lucky it only finished at five, given the number of chances Brentford had.

    I would have gladly subbed nine of them after just 30 minutes. I said this week that I'd sell Bree this month, and I stand by that. Hopefully this is the last time he ever starts for us, at least in the PL anyway. Poor RB, dreadful RWB.

    He just doesn't offer enough going forward to play as a WB at this level.

    No pace, too one footed, and can't beat a man. All defenders have to do is block off the right footed cross and he'll turn and pass.

    Oh, and this is why we made the right move by not replacing Martin with next season's manager. We always needed to keep next season's manager away from this mess. Juric is a sacrificial lamb.

    Fair enough. For me he wasn't the main issue. The CM pair and Ali Dia at LW were a much bigger priority.

    Given the way we are playing, it’s not unlikely that we would finish this season

    1. Having lost to Pompey. Twice.
    2. Relegated to League One.

    Yeah was always a high chance we’d continue being ****, and depending how the players really felt about Martin, a chance we could actually get worse.

    Sure a Rohl/Corberan could’ve improved us but the risk was far too high to ruin a potential manager to get us up with letting them see out this season.

    We're so bad that I don't even think using 12 players will help.

    We said many times we wanted to win the play offs and not go up
    It was too early for us

    The thing which winds me up, well the list is long, but what's really pissing me off is the lack of ****ing effort.

    I know the players aren't the greatest, but surely they realise that so should want to work harder. When I first started my job I was pretty **** at some aspects of it. It made me want to work harder and get better at it. There were more experienced people so I just looked at what they did and copied it but worked harder, put in more effort, because I was embarrassed that my results weren't there. I was on the dizzy heights of about 24k a year as well.

    Can any of our players look in the mirror and honestly say they're going 100%? That they're leaving everything out there? They're a ****ing disgrace.

    Is the plan not to have Juric lead us in the championship? He doesn’t seem like a firefighter. Why was he appointed?

    For someone who loves heavy metal so much, Juric is pretty quiet. And he was like a statue on the sideline.

    Who's his favourite metal band, Coldplay?
