Reply | 2024 - the year for Saints
at 15:27 31 Dec 2024
Wembley was a brilliant day. People dressed in red and white walking down my street on their way to Wembley. We drove up and to see hundreds and hundreds of Saints fans draped in red and white at the services, singing before and celebrating afterwards, will always be a memory.
And that West Brom game was incredible. I honestly can't remember St Mary's ever being like that, with the flares outside and the noise inside. The city came alive that night with people celebrating into the early hours, horns beeping everwhere. I have never experienced a Sai ts atmosphere quite like that. I suppose the positive is that we might have more of that to come next year!!!
It really is roller coaster ride being a Saints fan. Massive highs and massive lows. In one month it's incredible, 3.months later it's terrible. [Post edited 31 Dec 2024 15:29]

I think he is making the point that we have a sh!t squad and terrible owners. Therefore, it's almost impossible for any manager. I wish Juric the best of.luck, first impressions I like him, but if Ipswich win tonight, we are down. The table looks ridiculous.
And this feeling is backed up by the fact that we sacked Ralph, Jones, Selles and nothing changed. In other words the ultimate problem, is not the manager. |

We were linked with him weren't we. What a signing he has been for them. |

Ipswich one nil up. And all the talk about who is as at fault at Saints, Man U losing again but they have another "world class" manager in charge, but they still lose? |

Both! Solak is the man at the top. He presumably wants a portfolio of clubs (to make money). That's not Ankerson or anyone else. Solak wants this and has asked for this to happen, to make money for himself. The others will also get a chunk of the money, so they are all in with it. Ankerson should have been fired after the last relegation, again Solak could do this but hasn't. So Ankerson is still here, I assume pulling the strings and making decisions, but all in a very quiet and sneaky way (to make the fans think he is off the scene).
When you compare Bloom at Brighton (who doesn't want a portfolio of clubs to make money). He just wants Brighton to achieve. Same at Brentford, Bournemouth and so on. No such set ups there. All of the puppets under Solak have all f@cked up, but Solak is the man at the top. Two relegations in three years? 200 million spent, all on rubbish? He needs to go, and take his SR with him, otherwise this club is f@cked. [Post edited 30 Dec 2024 16:47]

It's like the shock, when Ralph left and when Jones left that we continued to be sh!t. Anyone would think we just don't invest in top quality players for this league. š²
I dunno, these managers (all 50 of them) just can't seem to get it right. š [Post edited 29 Dec 2024 19:58]

Exactly right. They have match winners and goal scorers. |

Totally agree. I think this manager has improved things, but the thrashings will start again, once the players give up again, when they look at the league table.
The players aren't good enough. These managers are trying to do this job with their hands tied behind their backs.
I remember saying the same thing when Ralph was sacked. The team was useless then and it's useless now. Was that really 3 years ago? [Post edited 29 Dec 2024 17:34]

It's worth the gamble. 2 relegations in 3 years with 5 different managers over the period, wasting 100 million on terrible players. I would be happy to explore the minefield. We are going nowhere under this lot. Newcastle got rid of Ashley. It was well worth it, they say. |

The club has been taking the p!ss out of the fans for years. But when the fans just accept it and only blame managers, the owners sit in their castle, free of any blame. [Post edited 29 Dec 2024 17:20]

"We have had a lot of interest in buying the club, including some wealthy individuals. I just don't think the fans will like them though".
Martin Semmens 2021, when Gao put the club up for sale. [Post edited 29 Dec 2024 17:12]

The answer is get rid of the owners. As I have consistently said, swap the manager time and time and again if we like, but we still have very poor players or at least we don't have any match winners because you need to spend 40 million on a striker if you want a quality striker. These owners won't do it. Get rid of them |

The players arnt good enough. It's very simple. It doesn't matter who is manager or how we play. If we can't score enough because we don't have match winners, then you can't ever win. |

Tall Paul starts, Bella-Kotchap on the bench. Bree and Wood both start. Looks a good team full of strength and aggressive, physical players.
