Looks like it's Will Still not Rosenior. At least still has something to prove not a losing streak with a club that's won a title many times (Roma)

We better not accept the offer of Matt Targett and a couple of millions for Dibling. Just get better players from elsewhere. I feel like Targett will become a Fraser or a Stewart.

Targett - seriously? We will all go to hell in a handcart.

According to TBR football we are trying to o get Stevie G as a manager.
Bro failed in Saudi ane his replacement at Aston Villa has turned that club around.
Obv not a amazing and valid source but its the most Southampton thing to do is not sign the manager we need but pick a free agent that would do something right.

Should the two current favourites become unavailable for any reason then Saints FC could turn to the well rested, proven and outstanding Coach Steve Cooper followed by Frank Lampard and Michael Carrick. KOM.

Looks like Juric isn't going to last and we are going to try get Rohl at the end of the season.
Maybe SR is starting to make the right calls.

According to David Ornestein Southampton think it's the players that is the problem not Russell Martin. And he won't be leaving anytime soon.
Imo it's both about what about you guys?

One look at RMs history of team performances and results, will tell you it’s the clown himself.
Players are we being asked to play a style that they are totally uncomfortable with, it’s draining the confidence out of them.
RM will never change because the team is playing how he always dreamed of playing .
What a clown . an absolute cocky fool

Why do I have a sneaky feeling the board will go Liam Rosineor? Nah too expensive. Rohl too expensive. Juric was bad so let's get another manager that's better than him how about a manager that was only sacked by a club once that's an improvement. In comes Tom Cleverly.

63m net spend and 112m spent this year for us to sit comfortably last.

Losing to Burnley really does show even if we do go down to the Championship it's not going to be a quick bounce back.
Cmon guys we are better than this?

Scott Parker coaching shone through especially in. defence with c/b Joe Worrall and his organised defence showing unity.We have a similar opportunity next season to emulate this (with correct Coaching and of course retaining players like Wood, Edwards, Charles, Sugawara, Charlie Taylor and Welington.Disappointed at failure to start Gronbaek (one lost opportunity considering the possibility of retaining him at season’s end) Regarding Juric- I was amazed at the questionable choice of substitutes and very late introduction and previously referring to Jack Stephens as a “quality player”and yesterday post match saying ‘we played a good game’.After weeks of being on the. fence I’m beginning to waiver a bit and question whether or not he ( Juric) would be the best choice Manager/Trainer to.lead us into next season. Saints v Burnley resembled a practice match rather than an FA CUP TIE! KOM.
2.) 10 Feb 2025 13:21:03
I hope not I thought his contract ends at the end of the season I need Rohl. He looks like he's one of the only managers that would lead us to somewhere we will be proud off
04 Feb 2025 08:21:25
I'm quite disappointed in this transfer window. I expected to get actually prolific players. Players we can rely on to score goals and defend. Loaning out Sam-amo to Strasbourg with a potential buy wasn't a good choice imo. If he does become quite good he's just going to go to Chelsea for a much cheaper price cause of the blueco group.
Feels like we got under-21 signings not signings to help us in this relegation battle if you can call it a battle as we are a long way from survival
I don't know what's happened but a few years ago we started making quite poor signing like Stewart and selling Alcaraz who's now at Everton.
Honestly, I think we need to find some better recruitment I don't know who left in that department but we aren't signing the right players. A striker with 0 goals is not a good signing imo.
However I could be wrong.
1.) 04 Feb 2025 11:04:51
This was my main reasons for keeping Ralph because as amazing as Pochetino (and he was, I'd have him back in a heart beat) he came to us during a golden era. We had a stellar/world class youth team, decent scouting/recruitment and the right board backing us, all of which would have helped Poch massively.
Then Koeman came along and rode that same wave a little too or what was left but was also savy enough to bring all the emerging talent from Holland along with him.
Since and towards the end of Koeman the whole background process has been in decline. When Ralph came along however I saw glimpses and evidence of what we had before. I won't pretend to know fully how recruitment works or just how much the process relies on the manager but all I know is when Ralph was here we were making some decent signings and more importantly keeping them and looking like they wanted to stay.
2.) 04 Feb 2025 18:50:43
I agree Leslee, I think ever since since Ralph possibly 2018-2019 the club has fallen off massively. Recruitment hasn't been what it used to be. As you mentioned I also won't pretend I'm an expert at recruitment but there's a clear difference in the players we are signing. Udoh may be a baller but with zero goals to his name are we just doing a downes here? Personally I would really invest in scouts and probably find someone to actually help us lock down 'good' players.
02 Feb 2025 11:47:49
Very deserved win for us. Possibly there is a chance of survival but are weakness still is our defence slightly
Also does anyone know what's going on with ABK he is imo a good defender for us but juric isn't using him neither did Martin just wondering is this a player issue or just he's 'not good enough' to make the team
30 Aug 2024 11:06:26
JWP looks like he's going Nottingham First so unlikely now to grab him as west ham rather would gain money over a loan
05 Aug 2024 20:21:09
I think we need a midfielder a striker and a keeper. Keeper Ramsdale on loan seems likely O' Riley doesn't it looks like that as we are interested in getting Carvahlo and since bigger clubs are now interested in Matt. Striker wise I think Gnonto should be nabbed Leeds are in the championship Summerville has been nabbed by the hammers and Galatasaray have got Sara from Norwich. And Gnonto is a good striker in the championship when we were there. So I think he'll be good in the prem for us
30 Jul 2024 01:42:30
As for Ramsdale it's going to be tough to get him probably I think Newcastle is our opponent to get his signature but as Newcastle have Pope already I think we technically have an upper hand.
There also is De Gea who is old but is free only issue is his contract he recently rejected a move to real betis over the contract
30 Jul 2024 01:40:06
I think O'Riley will definitely be a hard player to secure he openly said he prefers Atalanta and why wouldn't he they'll be playing Champions League I believe. However, I believe that Atalanta want him to be Koopmeiners replacement so if he doesn't leave will Matt be on the bench? I guess we'll see
Another potential big signing that we allegedly are interested in is youssoufa moukoko young talented striker from Dortmund wants to leave and allegedly wants to come abroad it will be a challenge to get him hur if he could we definitely will have a team that should be mid table if not just scraping into the top 10.
Also another player we are allegedly interested in the Amad Lauriente not much to say really comes from sassulo so I guess they speak Spanish which can help Alcaraz settle in a bit more comfortably.
24 May 2025 17:12:45
It's either spurs or yanited I'd rather have spurs tbh.
08 Mar 2025 17:17:51
I believe suga said he will stay, I don't if that's confirmed but I do remember him saying he will stay on the sinking ship but I guess we fill find out
23 Feb 2025 21:26:53
Same here, People are feeling bad for me and saying we will tear up the championship but I don't think we will.
Honestly, The club should pull out of the prem save ourselves from embarrassment. I'd rather face the title of worst premier League team ever now than later.
Juric wasn't the one, and is one of the key examples of how Southampton wastes money. We waste it on players that do nothing like BBD. And sold players like Alcaraz. Managers like Juric and Jones. RM. Why did we sack Ralph? Looking back this is a key turning point for the worse.
Hopefully, we can beat Chelsea as my manager is a Chelsea fan but zero hope for me. I'm just going to run the rest of the season on delusion.
17 Feb 2025 10:12:39
Charly needed to stay, I think he wanted top flight but is the Brazilian league top flight football? The club should've just loaned him out but we sold him and got BBD and Archer instead
Suitable replacement? I think not. Primarily for BBD.
Transfers is one thing the club needs to fix you can't expect survival if you sell a prem player and buy a championship one for the starting 11
16 Feb 2025 19:28:49
RM had to go les, we would've been in worse conditions if he still was at the helm. The current condition of the club really is just a mix bag of not good enough players and the fact that most our good players left the club last season when we went down. Look at Alcaraz already scored in the prem. I get he wanted to leave but they club could've loaned him out again or worked around it.
What the club keeps doing is selling our best players and then signing a terrible replacement. Carillo being a prime example.
If we go down we need to start fresh and have a clean slate. Clean up the messes of the club. If we don't I don't even think we will be in the automatic promotion at this rate.
Hopefully in summer we find the pieces to put the puzzle together such as new capable staff and some standout players and as much as I don't mind juric I hope we get Rohl instead.
