One man trying to look at the positives 17:29 - Dec 29 with 1743 viewskingslandstand1

Well at least Stuey is reasonably confident and not looking the way 28000 Saints fans do

I would prefer Stuey to be Captain.
But he needs to be picked to play first.

He can't create a thing sitting on the bench while Diallo does fu ck all

One is young and one isn't. It's a forced policy from the board and owners. Each manager is under instructions to play and develop the younger players so that they can be sold for a profit. Armstrong won't have a sell on value. It's not the manager, it's club policy. Same thing happened with Romeu, who is clearly a much better player than Diallo. It's all about developing young players over playing the older ones who won't make us any profit.

This is why we have to get the owners out. It's a policy for them, not for the fans. Every manager is.umder the same instruction to develop the young players at all costs. Except they don't develop.

Is that a fact or an opinion?

I think it is clearly visibly the case, so an opinion based on available evidence.

TBF Stu isn’t going to do an interview saying “We’re shite, the new manager’s a clown and we’re going down.”

Even though he may well think it.

It is a fact. Any manager here is under instruction to develop the young players (for a profit). That's the job here. Saints appoint any manager who agrees with that policy. If you play the older players, the younger ones won't develop, hence playing Diallo over Romeu, Armstrong and anyone else.

The previous owners had the same ethos.

The common link is Semmens. He specifically wanted new owners who would buy into this.

Very good point. When the club was up for sale from Gao, I remember Semmens saying "We have had plenty of interest, even from some wealthy individuals but we wouldn't like them". I wonder who we missed out on??? He means, he didn't like them as they probably would have brought in their own people and sacked Semmens. Semmens is f@cking ruining our club.

Another cause for optimism. Every manager who replaces Nathan Jones does better than him: Mick Harford did at Luton, Michael O'Neill did at Stoke and now Rob Edwards is at Luton. The future looks bright.

As I have said many times, the club policy is about making money, it's no longer about winning football matches.
I don't think I ever remember being so hacked off with what's going on at the club.

Exactly. That's why I rarely read player interviews etc as tgey are all I'm sure, vetted by the PR moguls first.
