Finally are we all SR out?

One of a group of players who called Ralph out on his lack of man management skills, so the rumours goes.

See also Bednarek and Redmond.
 
I thought they were saying on TSP that Tonda used to be an analyst, so that should be the one thing that he is good at already.
 
Remember when Wolves were called everyone’s favourite Portuguese team. Are we gradually morphing into a German team? Not there yet but working on it. If it makes us better, go for it, if it’s just Spors taking the easy option, then no thanks.
 
Hiring a DoF from abroad was always going to be a risk. The Championship is no joke. What it lacks in quality, it makes up for with competitiveness. Every game is a battle and if you arrogantly try to play your own style you will soon get found out. Spors massively underestimated it.

For all their faults, this is what we got right last time we got promoted.

Say what you want about them, but Wilcox & Martin knew the division and what was needed. Players like Fraser, Downes etc were exactly what we needed at the time and it showed.
 
This is a quote from when SR bought a controlling stake:

“Southampton has so many of the qualities we have been looking for in a major sports organisation. It has a great management team, excellent talent development, talented teams playing attractive football and a dedicated fan base.“

…and they’ve managed to **** up pretty much every one of those things and completely alienate the “dedicated” fan base!

That takes some doing!
