The Southampton Way on 14:05 - May 13 with 1235 views | Saintsforeverj | If again, we miss out on quality players like Tete, then nothing is going to change. What can Ralph do if he is told sorry we cant afford a really good player like Tete, as other teams will double his wages, you have to make do with Redmond, Djenepo, Stephens, Bednerak and Salisu and we will let you buy another inconsistent and unproven 18 year old. Let's see what happens in the summer, but from what I have heard, it doesn't sound like anything is going to change. Ralph doing the job with his hands tied behind his back. It is indeed the Southampton Way. | |

Higher in the league is not due to investment. its due to a manager not motivating his team. this squad is par 12th with the 7th best paid manager. | |

He’s 9th according to all sources that I’ve just seen, and how you can think/say that there’s 8 different teams with a worse squad than ours is just baffling, as I can only think of 4/5, and any he’s working with the 15th team for money available. But look hopefully Ralph does go soon (whether that’s at the end of his contract, getting sacked or by mutual agreement) and we end up being way lower/having much worse and closer to relegation seasons, all you Ralph out lot will realise that he wasn’t actually that bad of a manger [Post edited 13 May 2022 20:14]

Our wage bill is the 12 highest in the league so 12th is par. | |

Ok but that’s mainly down to all the dead wood we’ve got, which thankfully we’ll be getting rid of over the this and next summer. As I’m sure that certain players are getting well overpaid here, but I’m sure we’ll fall down the table over the summer if we keep to our usual transfer strategy. And if you think 12th is where we should roughly be, then why are you soo desperate for Ralph to leave when we’re just 3 points off of that position? | |
