No, sell anyone of value and replace with frees and kids on loan. Then next season we go down. Well done chicken fools and waggot idiot. 

We could appoint the greatest manager in history and he would still fail here with owners and a board like this. No support, GB clearly tried his best but was screwed

I would really prefer that the owners and Waggott were honest. At the start of a transfer window just state the club can’t buy regardless of sales instead of this pretence. This was deliberate no question. Sell a major asset and pretend to spend some of the generated cash. Can’t they all just f€@k off. Let someone with an interest buy and run the club. Then at least we can give the football side of the club a chance. Gutted this is happening to our club and that there is nothing to stop them. 
Just sell you assholes!

Another transfer window that’s a fiasco. We can’t blame gb for this, chicken overlords have been doing this since the disastrous day they got their hands on the club. Close the window now 

Firstly let’s remember that this story is coming from a complete hack. Rarely gets anything right. Second JDT has done a decent job and will be a loss but we have a structure in place to find a replacement. The chicken fools can totally screw it up but GB will surely be in charge 

This season we really did over achieve. I’m quite happy with JDT, what more could he have done with that squad. At times the tactics and substitutions were mind boggling but I think he has a plan.
The January window was a disaster but the contract situation has improved significantly. GB can’t be held responsible for BBD.

All in all a solid B grade, over achieved but there was an opportunity. This window is the most critical in years. Keep our young players and add some depth and quality. We need goals but they may already be in the squad. The idiots in India may have hired the right people but they need to support them now.

It’s the hope that kills you

I fucking hate this club

Ah you don’t really, to be fair

If there is an issue this is due to someone in the office screwing up. At GBs level he does not send in paperwork etc. He does the deal. It seems like the deal was sorted hours before the deadline. Hopefully it’s something that can be sorted. 

………..seriously. Can we even announce if anything is sorted

We all know we are in a false position. Just proves it

On paper a good result so far. The are only a few points behind us

If this season is just a transitional season then why are we making any short term focused decisons, such as keeping Brereton and loaning players in?

There has to be positive evidence that the transition is ongoing to warrant that second year. I personally think the target should be to beat 8th but there would be scope for keeping Tomasson potentially even with a lower finish than that if there was a suggestion on the pitch that a plan was coming together. It shouldnt just be a write off that this season is for adjustment because we need to be able to believe that a plan is coming together.

There were no acceptable bids for BBD end of. Let’s see what happens in January. Loans are with options to buy. All reasonable to me.

We do seem to be worse when we travel more than 1hr distance?! 

Bring on the dingles so!

Ah, we have a player who we want to keep and extend his contract early. Is this how a proper club is run. I’m starting to really think GB is the real deal.

We missed dack when he was out. If he can help fill in when needed and maybe kick on when settled who knows. GB and JDT are happy with him. For now that’s enough for me . 

From where the club was when gb was hired it’s actually been a good window. He has done quite a lot, manager, multiple other jobs plus 6 players. Some of the players are genuine upgrades on last season. Was it perfect god no but when you consider the mess gb walked into it’s gone very well. The January window will be important and a true barometer of his ability but decent start. Just my opinion!!!!!

Just a gut feeling but unless BBD leaves I’m not expecting much activity. Hope I’m wrong but when we have no real links baring a young striker plus unrealistic names it makes you think 

Hedges really is a new signing since tm never really knew how to play him. Plus he is, in my opinion, doing well so far. And was a huge absence during the recent losses 

So BBD to be sold anytime now. Let’s stop thinking any fancy full ideas. We might end up with:

CB maybe 2 neither of the vans

new striker and probably a cheap one at that.

that’s it and that’s being optimistic. JDT will walk soon after and followed by gb. This is rovers under venky control. It’s going to be a long long season. We are relegation fodder

Permission to panic Captain Mainwaring

Granted!!!!!!!!

So JDT isn’t the second coming . But he isn’t as bad as some think. We need players but to say gb is responsible is far too simplistic. He is rebuilding a club. Players are only part of it. We badly need players. Not just numbers in but the right players. Way too soon to judge Sammie. He was brought in for a specific roll in a specific system which I’m guessing we are not playing 

If Philips and batty can be convinced to sign on then it’s a huge positive sign for the new management. No way tm and his crew could have done it.

Were Southampton losing players for well below their true value (or free in some cases)? Or did they sell a player for a very fair British transfer record fee?

Look what we got shearer for. They were robbed

Can we all remember, if any of us got a job off with a huge pay increase we would be off. Philips is a young man who can set himself up for life. He is a serious injury away from nothing. All we can do as a club is force as much money from levy as possible. As an aside I have always hated spurs and this won’t help. Them and that dump westham. Obviously Burnley but let’s not go there!
