    Yeah I was just in the middle of writing about how it is super convenient / suspicious timing

    Its hard to tell if its garbage or not... are you at Staplewood every day? I do know that a select group of players did approach the board at the end of last season.

    Its probably them who are now trying to put the pressure on the board by leaking this information.

    Oh please. It's 100% trash. Sources miraculously leaked this the day after the fans forum? Pull the other one. The source is probably some sad, pathetic employee at the club who has a grudge against Ralph.

    Do you get inside information? Or is it just your opinion that it’s utter rubbish because you come across as always knowing what’s going on at the club.

    Yet you probably believed the puff piece that came out earlier?

    I'm not saying it's 100% true, there are elements of truth to it based on what I've heard, but to say it's 100% garbage based on nothing is blinkered.

    It's his opinion that it's rubbish because it's anti-saints and anti-ralph, which is considered a sin on this forum.

    No, it's because of the timing of the article. The day after the fans forum suggests to me the "source" is some angry fan who has "connections" at the club who has it in for Ralph.

    It’s interesting - some are criticising those saying it is crap because it doesn’t fit a pro-Ralph narrative

    Others (including me) are skeptical and could argue the same point in reverse - people seizing on a vague article with no specifics at all (not even numbers) to fit an anti-Ralph agenda

    Any chance we could limit this bollocks to just the one thread?

    See what I was feeling was,last night Semmens and Ralph are trying to portray everything is bright and breezy @ Saints but it’s only a few months ago that they sacked all the back room staff….that to me tells me everything is far from blissful and last night could have all been smoke and mirrors

    Adrian Kajumba is a very well connected journalist.

    There is at least smoke here

    Stories breaking on Saints Instagram Fans sites that the Daily Mail are breaking the story that Ralph has lost the dressing room and a lot of players want him out to the point where they are complaining directly to the board
    Backs up the info I posted last week about Che Adams
    It’s only a matter of time now before we have to sadly say goodbye to Ralph

    Tbf I sat and watched it last night and my underlying thought was Ralph looked uncomfortable and some of his responses were a tad sharp and sore and he himself felt he was walking the tightrope

    To be fair, I had exactly the opposite reaction.

    I thought the opposite TBH Chilco. I thought he looked a little uncomfortable and sounded somewhat defensive. I thought he did okay, given the situation he is in.

    I thought you can’t believe anything in the press though, Os?
