    To be fair juric did alright before he went to lazio. Don't think anyone could forsee how bad he would be for us

    He’ll be ok though because Man Utd will need a clown for their new circus tent stadium.

    My worry is he’s damaging the club & players. I’d bin him now; fcuk SR’s admission they got it wrong (eat some pie) & appoint Rusk or anyone who can just get the players together for the rest of the season.

    I think that juric needs to go now or at the end of the season but the players have to take a LOT of the blame I have never in fifty years of supporting seen a bunch of players down tools and look disinterested so often. They need to show some fight for us and their own pride at the least.

    Why would he come to Saints? Why would any competent manager come to Saints? Why would any decent player come to Saints? Why do I support Saints? Answers on postcard to Points of View. One for the oldies.

    I want a change now just to make the rest of the season a bit more interesting and see no more batshit team selections.

    Think it also shows just how impossible the task was. The players have given up in the main, and maybe they would’ve kept trying because they liked Martin. But some random coming in and trying to change everything and who seems a lot more of a hard man compared to Martin won’t help.

    Wouldn’t be surprised at all to see Juric be a success elsewhere in different circumstances

    Or maybe they’re correctly looking at various options, as you never know what’s around the corner. We’ve complained enough about them ‘not having a plan B’. Good that they’re looking at what’s possible.

    Don’t be silly, we need to be knee jerk in these situations and pull the plug and change immediately

    It would make total sense for Rosenior to be on our radar. But that doesn't necessarily mean that we're on his radar!

    If however he was to be interested, then I hope we go all out for him. I mentioned his name on here weeks ago, but ruled it out as being unrealistic unless he wants to return back to England.

    I thought he was a very logical fit if we sacked Martin after failing to get promoted. He plays a very similar way to Martin, just not as mental from what I’ve seen.

    Doubt he wants to return to the Championship when he’s doing so well in France, but would be far more confident with him in charge going into next season than Röhl.

    Howe immediately set about imprinting his methods at Newcastle. His working day would begin at 6am and he would often not finish until late into the evening.

    Players' days off were reduced while training sessions were brought forward to an earlier time and became more intense.

    "Jonjo Shelvey said that when Howe first came in he would be so tired by the training that he would be in bed by 8pm," BBC Radio Newcastle's Matthew Raisbeck said.

    "The players were shattered but he made them fitter, he made them better individually and he made the team better."

    He can’t be the only one who can take a struggling team and turn them into a winning unit. Unless it’s just having very, very rich owners.?

    Yeah. I definitely see him as Martin-lite. Possession based football without being suicidal.

    He impressed me massively last season, and the way he set up Hull to play at SMS was brilliant. Crazy decision by their owner to sack him, just because they missed out on the top 6.

    But as I say, unless he's not enjoying France and would like a return to English football, then we can forget about him coming here.

    I can’t see him wanting to come here but who knows. It’s the predicament any team wanting to get promoted from the Championship has. The way you have to play and the manager who you employ in the Championship will have to completely change how they play if they get promoted.

    Said it before but if it is Rohl I think he will struggle to get us promoted but if he did he’d have a decent chance of making us competitive in the PL (probably more like Ipswich this year, so still go down but not as pathetically as we have done this year). Someone like Rosenior I think would get us promoted but we’d be similar to this year in the PL

    Still no corner flag picture. Must admit I'm quite surprised by that. Atmosphere against Paace going to be incredibly toxic when we're 1 down inside 10 minutes.
