We’re ****ed. We’ve missed out on our wannabe saviour. Phil Brown appointed manager of Swindon in short term deal.
I have said it before and I will say it again . Hong Kong Saint called it . The new owner is NOT in it for the interests of SFC , what his interests are , is anyone's guess .
Pretty sure someone posted that relegation would not be a disaster for him , if he was not looking long term at the clubs fate .
Decision made.... he's gone! New appointment will be critical but hey, Stoke have lost; so STILL ABOVE the bottom three.
If, and it's quite probable, if result go our way at the weekend, Saints could still be above the bottom three AND in an F. A. Cup semi-final![]()
Given his Prem history do you think that he would be the best choice going forward?Thank you for doing the right thing. Now go and get Silva.

Good job at Hull...... but couldn't save 'em. Flying start at Watford..... then showed no respect when Everton made overtures; then sulked (?), showed little loylty and took the Watford side into a downward spiral.
The next appointment at St Mary's is critical................. and must be for the LONG TERM. A third manager in less than two years ain't great. And the revolving door mentality for team managers at the club (for whatever reason) isn't the stable strcture that the team / club need

Been looking at the remaining fixtures for our new manager to take us to survival. All I keep hearing is about our tough run in, but looking at the 7 teams who in my opinion are still in the scrap, only Palace have a reasonable run in. We all have at least 3 of the current top 6 to play, except Palace X1 and West Ham X4.
West Ham also have 5 games remaining at home, which might not be to good for them. Newcastle the same as us with X3 at home and 5 away games.
STOKE:- Top 6 Games:- ARSENAL (A) / SPURS (H) / LIVERPOOL (A)

Looking at this I think we will escape, JUST. Think Stoke will be one, and possibly West Ham because of their Toxic atmosphere at home games??
Loads of nail biting to do, but now MP2 has gone, I have a renewed sense of hope, but it will be close. COYS
Really its down to us. if we beat Swansea and West ham then we have the easiest run in other than Palace looking at that.Been looking at the remaining fixtures for our new manager to take us to survival.

Everton must have an easy run in as everyone but Palace play them.
Just a positive thought for this weekend.
Saints are Wigan bound for their FA Cup tie...... but could they {come time for the kick-off} find themselves STILL IN SEVENTEENTH PLACE with, effectively, a game in hand?
No wins for the three teams occupying the bottom places
Bournemouth v West Brom ........ 2-0
Huddersfield v Crystal Palace .... 1-1
Stoke v Everton ............................1-1
Yep that is the dream scenario. Could be a bit of a mental challenge playing catch up on games and being in the bottom 3, especially if we beat Wigan as that will be another weekend of PL games we miss
