Good positive stuff from Krueger, he's obviously good at inspiring players as he lead two national teams to gold medals in the Russia Ice Hockey in the Winter Olympics and is apparently a good motivational speaker so could be quite useful, I like how he wants to look more into the commercial side, as to me that establishing Saints as a big club whilst keeping in the Southampton way which he mentioned, this means we will be pushing for a higher spot even harder next season and keep bringing players through, also good he gets on well with Poch and has said he won't get in his way or act on things he doesn't know about, I think Poch will sign a new contract soon now we have a chairmen and a direction again. Commercially it could be more viable to expand the stadium to as that would get us some press and at the moment the Stadium's pretty full for most games so wouldn't be a bad idea, looks like we still on the up, now just a win on Saturday to cap off a good week for us!

What? I'm confused. it's the managers job to speak to/motivate players not the chairman/chief execs!
Yes it Ralph's job to promote/investigate commercial opportunities, in other words grow the clubs revenue streams.
I hope this bloke doesn't confuse the two.
I also hope he's not all bluff and spin and that the strong rumours about the club being for sale and Poch leaving this summer are not true but despite what Ralph says I won't be betting any money on either

Agree0 Disagree0

What 'Strong' rumours? where's your source, all I've seen is weak rumours and Strong rumours from the horses mouth that the club is definitely not for sale!

Saint IQ

Agree0 Disagree0

I know that but the odd motivational talk from your Chairman can't hurt can it? And it's been made clear the club is not for sale so not sure what the rumours are you're talking about

So Cork's out, Wanyama most likely out too. What team would you put out? mine would be

Boruc
Clyne Fonte Lovren Shaw
Spider Ward-Prowse
Lallana Ramirez Rodriguez
Lambert

Subs. Gazza, Chambers, Yoshida, Reed, Davis, Guly, Gallagher

Likely poch will go for Davis instead if Gaston but I hope not.

Interesting stats on who scored last weekend showing that Lallana's best performances by quite a margin are when he is predominately on the right on midfield

Prediction- impressive 4-0 win and maybe forcing another premiership team to sack there manager although I hope not

I'd be happy with that team, perhaps with Davis in defensive midfield next to Morgan. JWP could start further ahead instead of Gaston but I'd rather see more of Ramirez

Agree0 Disagree0

JWP needs 90 minutes for his development IMO, Davis has had plenty of games

Saint IQ

Agree0 Disagree0

When we were up in 3rd at the start of season JWP was playing every game for us and providing a lot of assists with his crossing ability, I agree with Saints IQ would be a good, positive team to put out and also agree we could be in for a big win, I reckon Ramirez will get 1, 2 for Ricky and another for Gallagher in the last min, I hope we put McQueen on the bench instead of Guly or any other youth player as it would be nice to see more from him afer his brief spell on the pitch against Sunderland

Agree0 Disagree0

Mmm don't underestimate norwich will be a tighter game than most are saying

Agree0 Disagree0

Would of been right if it wasn't for two terrible errors from fonte and guly!
