We are 3 nil down approaching half time. I hope we lose 10 nil. And I hope we lose our next match 10 nil.If that's the price we have to pay to get rid of the most incompetent arrogant manager we have ever had the misfortune to endure. We have a squad that is good enough to stay up, just a coach who is so utterly out of his depth but hasn't the intelligence or humility to realise it.

we seem to be inexorably heading for the playoffs.

And furthermore, if Saints really wanted to be unique, and after RM has been seen to fail, then appoint Sarina Wiegman to the post and see a real football brain at work for the first time in a while. Bonkers? yep.but not really

Pretty much agree with the consensus that Russell Martin is going to fail. Very much in the mould of RH in terms of inflexibility, and already coming out with worrying soundbites.slating the team so early in the season is worrying. We will get a mid table finish this year and no better. Would be understanding of the current situation re transfers if Martin was showing leadership, but he is already playing the victim . Norwich will win by 3 this weekend

Lesleee, it will be good for you if you let go of the spygate drama. It was awful, humiliating and unacceptable. But also, its over. Tonda has shown impressive resilience in the face of fierce adversity, and has emerged intact. Many would have walked away from the heat, but he has stuck with Saints and deserves our unequivocal thanks. And the noise around the issue has subsided significantly across the division as rival teams fans have moved on.
I am not denying that you have the right to raise the issue whenever you want, that is what this forum is for. I am merely suggesting that since everyone else has moved on, it might be an option for you to consider. Great result today, proud of the team and hopeful for this season.

agree, hoping to see some more convincing and energetic form. Hoping that the fact that the spying issue is behind us will lead to more momentum and drive. Being in the playoff positions after an inconsistent start, and with head coach position in question is good enough. Now we need to start scaring teams.

Sadly I think that is optimistic. I think the FA will clobber Tonda with a 6 month outright ban. Hope I'm wrong.

There is no debate about whether Tonda stays or goes.he has to go, quickly, simply from the point of recruitment. We are going to lose the majority of our first team, and will need to recruit new players.nobody will risk their reputation joining Saints unless its clear there has been a major clear out of all involved.
Including Spors.saying he didn't know is no defence, happened on his watch. Massive clear out over the next week is the only way to attempt to avert the existential threats highlighted correctly in earlier posts

I agree saints are up against it tonight.I think if Tonda will never have a more important occasion to get both selection and strategy right. And difficult to manage the team who know that even if they win they might be ejected. On reflection of my earlier post, the only mitigating factor against being ejected from the playoffs is that Wrexham would then have a really good shout that they have been denied a playoff berth due to cheating and then EFL get into a whole world of pain legally.
EFL would love Boro to win tonight, saves them a load of pain, the football community are on Boros side as no-one likes cheats to prosper. Saints aren't just playing Boro tonight, they are up against everyone. Tough ask
