At last. On a human level I have no joy in seeing anyone lose their job, and SR have a lot to answer to, in the situation they put the club in. I hope they take their time in getting the right appointment this time as will be crucial to the club over the coming season and half. Meed a manager with a bigger reputation this time as that’s what premier players look for. Bielsa would probably love this squad as very young and would be full of running under his coaching. Will probably end up with Jesse though. Anyway, will now look forward with optimism.
 
I wonder what ‘reference points’ have changed between now and Tuesday night?! Or is it just the obvious one that we’re rubbish?

I reckon the club had made their decision after Brentford, because of his comments, and have spent the past week lining up a replacement.

That’s what I hope, anyway. They were never going to come out at the forum and say “yeah if we lose to Wolves he’s gone.” The only thing they could do is say they’re backing him, despite what was going on behind the scenes.

I just hope there was some kind of break clause in his contract. If my company hires someone they can be let go if they fail their probationary period. He has well and truly failed his.
 
I don’t know what stats the club were looking at but when a team with just 10 men has 59% possession and make it look as if we have just 9 men on the pitch they finally had to do something.

His appointment was a disastrous move for saints and even himself. He dragged us forget to the trap door and now I can't see any half competent club taking a chance on him

He will rock up back at L1/lower Championship at some point with an extra few million in his back pocket.

Not fantastic for his career but he is not doing THAT badly out of this in real life terms.
