    thing to bear in mind as well is that krueger is not a director of the club. he's a director of the holding company. so technically his direct involvement in the club is nil.

    Much easier when we were run by a reborn Napoleon...at the moment we are confused by who to blame.

    True, but once you put yourself into the limelight and speak as if you are the "voice of the club" then it's only natural that fans & the press think of you as being the one in ultimate charge of everything.... and the one to blame.

    Obviously saints had one good season now looking for new manager that’s fine players unhappy and leaving to other clubs also that’s fine

    So what the problem it called business with old core supporters understands this that player will come and go including managers not like some supporters just had there nappy’s changed and throwing their toys out of the pram because some players may or not leave
    like old core supporter like for the past 45 years and wait for new season

    In the wise words of Benjamin

    'Donkeys live a long time. None of you have ever seen a dead donkey'

    This has happened before, and will happen again. Saints are not a big club, and inevitably when we do well we will suffer the time honoured fate of small clubs who stick their head above the parapet. If you don't like that then you need to either deal with it, or go and support one of the 'Sky Four'

    He's old core. Some nappy-wearing supporters are new core. I'm hardcore. I think some of us might be grungecore.

    I'm sure a lot of the things happening to the club have happened individually before, but we seem to have stumbled into the perfect storm.

    Guys, I don't think Krueger is the boss. He's a non-executive chairman. He is equal in rank to Reed if not below him.

    It's a big domino effect really. But there are plenty of times when a club has had to completely rebuild in one summer (Aston Villa springs to mind when they lost O'Neill and several key players in the same summer a couple of year back).

    did they lose their chief exec and the driving force behind the ownership of the club in the same fell swoop?

    was ther a power vacuum in which a footballing leper was suddenly in charge of everything?

    I think the scale of this is looking unprecedented for a club off the back of a successful season. (bar portsmouth even then that took a while to manifest)

    Disagree with your comment completely. I don't like it but I can accept players going, and in fact many have been with us for a number of seasons. What I can't stomach is the apparent ineptitude and lack of professionalism of the board. It beggars belief.

    I would never class myself as paranoid, or even a pessimist. But for the first time in 5 years, I have a real sense of dread about what is happening to this football club. :(

    We have had some scary moments in the past 5 years...Markus dying and Adkins sacking where I was more distressed than I am now. The awful thing now is how close we were to being something special. The magic is gone. I now just want things sorted and hope we can stabilise and achieve midtable next season.
