    I was thinking that the worst thing to come out of this news is that we can no longer singer the Gabbiadini song...but he's never on the pitch to sing it anyway <laugh>

    Just read that Saints will probably not be buying in January. For the first time, I am quite pleased about that. Having wasted 60 million pounds on 3 min productive forwards and more millions on other non productive defenders and midfielders, I reckon we have done enough charitable donations to other football clubs. If we can't spend widely then don't spend. We can't really do any worse with a different approach.

    Amongst his many words, Ralph did say that the football side of things will continue with the present staff in place. Ross Wilson I guess would be considered the most senior outside the first team coaches.

    Ralph has regularly admitted he knows little about the game and seeks counsel about it from people inside and outside the club and often someone who admits they know little will make better decisions than those who think they know it all.

    It’s a big few months for Krueger’s chairmanship

    Admitting you know nothing about football does seem to be the the right way of getting to a senior position on the board atm.

    I’m pleased with this. When does Ralph’s rocket to Mars launch?

    I`m all for making changes, but seems odd that there isn`t a replacement regime lined up. Seems like making things up as we go along.

    Not really.......We don’t usually do things behind people’s back. Some do we don’t....... no doubt approaches will be made now.......The press will be itching to find out who the replacements might be.........surprised they haven’t mentioned candidates.

    Careful what you wish for guys........a mate of mine......not a Saints fan I might add..........lives just out side Manchester.. ...... Said he and his wife were driving past some big Hotel locally. Who do you think he saw.......someone his wife knows well apparently .....yes Fat Sam....... now they don’t know Kruger......although they have seen him before. However they are convinced they saw Kruger shaking hands with Sam outside the hotel. May be a coincidence ....... but careful what you wish for.......:emoticon-0103-cool: :emoticon-0117-talki

    If true....DOF would be most likely, we need someone with football knowledge on the board.

    Better than no one, we desperately need football knowledge on the board, but we don’t/won’t spend a lot so he may not be interested.

    He might also give Hughes some pointers on how to defend.
