After finally calming down from the news which left me truly devastated. It's time to take stock, I think Le Tiss has summed it up and put everything into perspective. After buying into Cortese' plans I think we've all got a bit carried away with delusions of grandeur and with pochettino leaving, it makes you wonder if any top manager or player is only ever going to use the club as a stepping stone in their careers. Yes we do have a good infrastructure and to date we have very good players so with the right manager we could be back on track.
Part of me wonders if the search for a new manager has been going on for sometime already and with Jason Dodd getting sacked, maybe it's all part of a big plan!
Krueger and Reed are yet to impress me although it's early days still. It would just be nice if they came out now that this '5 year plan' has come to an end, and tell us all what we are really aiming for!

Ralph said Europe is the goal. He reiterated it twice in his interview.

I think if they had a manager in mind and almost tied him down, he would say. He's been banging on about an honest approach at saints, so can't see him having somebody ready to step in

Ok, so now I've seen the interview. Yes there are obviously big things going on behind the scenes, but being left to wonder for so long it was always going to be concerning.
These days I guess you don't have to be a football man to run a club/ business, but for me hearing his accent and some of his answers like they've just come straight out of some positive speech manual and even the way he says 'The Saints'. It all just doesn't feel right. But that all being said I think our great club will be just fine.
I wouldn't be too naive Saintsmiff, there are far more things that happen at football clubs than we would ever know!
