Whoever this is using Tom's account, posting calm, sensible, measured comments ... Can we please have Mr Angry back. Or at least let us know he is alive and well
7m a year and the chance and finance to make a sleeping club a giant would test most people's moral fibre.
I think they only thing painful about this is losing him to Everton, I assumed when he left it would be to a big time player not just a bag of cash
Neither Poch or Ronald are *bad*. This stuff just happens, and as someone said earlier, we've a little bit been victims of circumstance (in both cases).
Situations where people leave for money just reiterates how rare and amazing Le Tissier was. Proud to have had him at our club.
This. We have a five-year plan to get to Champions League. Everton has a one-year plan. Whether that one-year plan is or is not pants-on-head-crazy remains to be seen, but when few managers even last five years, that's pretty appealing.
One is still on my naughty list now matter how understandable it is..... The other one seems to be eyeing up his seat on it too
Good point - I said I'm positive! Maybe I should have worded it "I feel like we are comstantly playing with fire" instead of "going backwards". Realistically though, he is replaceable as a manager if he does go. I think the great squad bailed him out of some Naive tactical decisions at times last year. So I'm positive we can replace him. (if it's true of course - still going to hope until it's officially announced)
Poor old Fran posted 20 pages ago that she was off to see her friend. She'll come back to us lot discussing who the new manager is going to be while Ronald is holding up a blue scarf.
We all have different dreams. Mine aren't wet. We have progressed fantastically, under KL, probably faster than any Saints fan thought possible, yet for some, that's not enough. The saddest thing about how far we have progressed, is how some fans have raised their own expectations to a level of expectancy that is on a par with the likes of United and Liverpool. We are continually building and getting stronger, despite of the disappointment of losing disloyal staff, in the past.
I think thats the crux of the problem. Her Dad rescued the club and I love him for that. She has kept his legacy for sentimental reasons (who can forget the photos of him at the JPT final), but ultimately, pure conjecture here, she see's it as a business (i don't blame her for that) we are still punching above our weight in terms of where we finish, but financially we are still also rans. As long as we can keep building season by season thats fine but we will get it wrong with the wrong manager or players. Also, I'm not sure our conveyor belt of promising academy players is looking too bright. can't believe its only just over two weeks since our best Premiership season (no i haven't forgotten 82)
