    That's what has been reported by various journalists so I think I'll believe them.

    Good for you. It's all about who you are marrying....not if the napkins match. The price some idiots will lay out is astonishing....the credit card bill lasts longer than the marriage.

    I got 16 years out of my £100, so quite good value. :)

    Saints Official Facebook reminder about the Season Tickets is being treated with a large number of less than favourable comments about Puel.
    Interesting if the board take note of what is being said on these sites. If they do we will be changing manager in a couple of weeks as its not pretty

    Les would probably like his manager to be popular with fans, but I doubt that is a major factor. If Les and the board are happy, Claude will stay. His popularity (or lack of) and its effect on ST sales could be a tipping factor only if Saints were seriously dissatisfied. Fans are not only fickle....there is also a tendency for people to jump on the bandwagon of social media. It's called bullying....some people just love to be nasty.

    I sincerely hope they don't. Decision making by collective prejudice? what a horrible thought.

    It could be argued that the complainers are the very people you need to please though. They are after all the ones that buy tickets to the matches. Wether that be individual or season. I am not saying they are right..... but there feelings should not just be dismissed out of hand.

    I can imagine that the atmosphere at the games would improve no end if those fans pissed off. Might improve everything.

    No, clearly not, ever. I have a reputation to keep up and not you, not your bloody Flight of the Conchords, not anyone, will stop me.

    Welcome to the modern world where momentum fire up their armies against "Tory scum" and Tories make sure that the "Labour 1970s" myth? is never forgotten. Where UKIP and Trump can master it and drive votes to their cause and where anybody can slander anyone on the basis of a rumour whether true or not.

    What an improved world we live in. Who's the human sacrifice this week? Such progress.

    I would think in this day and age of marketing and global commerce, then if Puel is causing grief on social media he is already gone. And no I haven't made any comments on social media other than here about Puel.

    I'm not the greatest fan of facebook only checking it once a day, never been a twitterer and Instagram is all just photos and stuff. I can see photos on google search.

    Maybe they should advertise them to corporates. Working class is not wanted anymore. Put signs up on the turnstiles (or VIP entry doors) saying "negativity prohibited."

    Whoah there are some exuberant comparisons drawn here? Fans have a right to express their opinions and the general consensus seems to be that the football at st Mary's is not as good to watch as recent ones. Perhaps the manner in which those complaints are expressed is not appropriate, however people have a right to express them.

    If the club takes any notice that's their business, I suspect any decision will be based on targets not aesthetics. FWIW I feel he will, and probably should, be given some time. Having said that if we parted ways I wouldn't be disappointed.

    Headline a little misleading as it says the players love Puel....in fact Cedric says that he has a close relationship with the players. I suspect that talk of unrest is limited to a few players....don't jump on me....not claiming ITK status, just a knowledge of human nature. When things don't go well, people look for a cause and Puel's style won't suit everyone....and there are people who will look to blame others. It doesn't take long for a couple of moaners to infect everyone else....just as enthusiastic people can lighten the mood. This is exactly what you see on social media...criticism ( deserved and undeserved) gets a life of its own as others join in....humans are natural joiners....especially when they scent blood. If you are in the chasing pack, you feel strong and invulnerable. A sense of proportion is beyond some people.
