St John.any news on the board meeting? Please tell me he's gone and we r going for Potter or Carrick!

Sorry no news FatSaint saw the prospective Board meeting on Facebook.My wish is your wish! K O M!

Why don't we go for Stirling, probably not a shot of getting him but, might get him on the cheap and if he wants to play regularly why not us? Can't see any of top 6 clubs going for him. SR/RM - be brave and have a go, he is a class act. We really do need a Keeper too or we r bang in trouble, Johnstone is a good keeper, wants to leave Palace so if Ramsdale to Wolves (puzzling why though as Sa is class!) is going through then Johnstone is a must surely?!
{Ed002's Note - The wages are a huge problem and Southampton has no interest.}

Why are we looking at Luton Town's manager? Go and get Steven Gerrard and/or bring in someone who the players will respect! We r running out of time to save us from the drop! Need a manager who can attract top players despite our position! COYRs more proactive and less reactive stuff please!
1.) 07 Nov 2022 21:45:17
Yes a good manager and two or three top players needed,at least one attacker and a good midfielder.pref 2
If we are to stay we need to spend on good players to save us.
It should never have come to this,the failure to buy a striker in the summer is unforgivable,every saints fan knew what we needed,

Ffs SR - buy a couple of decent strikers! We need goals ASAP!

Yeeeeeessssss, seasons greetings fellow Saints, at last, the news we've been waiting for, RM has been sacked! Too late to salvage anything from this season I fear, but his stubborn approach to managing has ultimately proven to be his downfall! Let's get behind the team now and try to show some pride in the shirt at least! COYRs

Aaaargh, keep getting BBC Sport alerts, hoping (well praying!) to see 'Martin Sacked as Saints Manager' or 'Saints and Martin part ways' - but no, much like watching us play this season, get my hopes up only to be deeply disappointed by what I see! All us Saints fans must be on the naughty list this year so I fear RM won't be getting an early Xmas present of his P45!
1.) 09 Dec 2024 21:41:18
Hi guys,
This is the highest level RM has ever managed at, so presumably he doesn't fear the P45 as he will get 2 years gardening leave which presumably will set him up for life, leaving him free to travel the world with his model girlfriend.Then when that time is up he is free to do punditry, blogs etc that is if anyone has forgotten his track record and actually is interested in listening to him.Who says crime doesn't pay? It's amazing how mediocre people seem to prosper in this world.

WHOOPIE! -BOARD MEETING TODAY! Could It be CARLOS CORBERAN, DANNY ROHL or MICHAEL CARRICK under serious consideration as perhaps GRAHAM POTTER may prove too expensive for SPORT REPUBLIC? Keep On Marching!

An interesting fact about - RM
Not one single team ever paid a single penny in transfer fees for the deluded clown.
Free transfers, loan transfers .
is he possibly the only player in history never to command a transfer fee! Guess they all couldn’t wait to get rid of him!
Sadly our board doesn’t have the same mindset .
Jones was something else, but RMs post match comments far exceed the rhetoric of Jones.
Ie it doesn’t matter how badly we played, how many mistakes we make, how bad his tactics and substitutions, the result . somehow .
‘I’m proud of the boys’
‘We had chances’
‘ we could have won’
He is so arrogant and his career does not warrant it!

St John
Don't give me hope ??

Just.read a report (as no doubt others have) from (Newcastle World) that Saints Board are monitoring 3 ex EPL proven Managers’ :>Rafael Benitez, David Moyes and Steve Cooper.Rafael would be 1st.pick but in Saints current long term predicament with relegation a real PROBABIILITY perhaps of the 3 Steve Cooper is the more likely to remain in the event of relegation and accept the challenge of complete rebuild and fight for PROMOTION in season 25/26. Keep On Marching!

Well kooks like another inevitable defeat with 20mins left, more possession but no shots on target and just a limp excuse for a football team atm. Can't wait for the next lot of excuses and praise for the brilliant displays otg there today.horse sh@t mate! U were bang average as a player and just plain rubbish as a manager, get out of our club and take Stephens and ure other bumchums with you! So depressing being a Saints fan atm!

Hi guys, another woeful performance, if you can read the Athletic this does a great analysis on Saints, Wolves and West Ham and Saints and their positions. SAINTS top the leagues for all the wrong reasons and the Athletic analyzes very succinctly where we are going wrong plus a recommendation for potential replacement managers.If our failings are so obvious to everyone and are backed up by statistics, why are we continuing with these obviously totally flawed tactics which we do not have the skill set to execute? Is the definition of madness when something has been proven not to work to then persist with it? The majority of our goals conceded are as a result of poor control and passing at the wrong time or in the wrong area.There seems to be no plan a, b or c, the question is if we persist with RM and we are rooted to the bottom of the league, what is the case for persisting with him and why? I guess we will find out in the coming weeks, has there ever been a worse time to be a Saints fan?
04 Dec 2024 21:10:00
Yet again Stephens the donkey has f&@!ked us over! RMs insistence on playing out from the back makes us so predictable, especially with the players we have out there tonight, aside from KWP and Mateus, we just aren't good enough. Watching us win the ball off Chelsea near their box and then 10 seconds later we are passing it back to Lumley just makes me want to headbutt a wall! Cannot believe RM won't change things up, if I was a player then I would say to the boys, bollox to RM, let's play it easy and donwhat we know we can do! Fearful for the rest of the season, no doubt we will buy some second rate 'diamonds' from Scottish 1st Division in January and sell our best players! Appalled, embarrassed and pig-sick of watching this clown destroy my club week in-week out! RM out NOW - enough is enough!
1.) 04 Dec 2024 21:55:09
I don't think RM will leave the club until it's too late he has to go tomorrow morn or I don't see him leaving until summer
2.) 04 Dec 2024 22:23:36
Bye Bye Russell - please make sure you take Stephens with you! Keep On Marching!
3.) 04 Dec 2024 23:04:36
He’s going nowhere! The club is now a feeder club for top 7 premier league clubs.
I’ve been led to believe the KWP is signing for Villa possibly as soon as January, THB is being watched continuously by Spurs. 3 or 4 will follow and the merry go round will start again. Give it 18 months and Charles will be the next off the production line, but for horrendous bad luck with injuries Larios would have been at the level of Kirkez by now.

Always up for a challenge and at least we would instill some pride and fight into the players! COYRS

Tbh, I would've sacked him at half time! The guy is a joke, his tactics and playing style are that of a complete moron and let's not get started on his selections. Why is AA starting, had 2 goes at PL now and couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo and to start him in place of our top scorer beggars belief. We are a laughing stock thanks to RM and I have never been so depressed watching my beloved Saints get humiliated every week is killing me. Fair play to the fans who stayed til the end, if only to bombard RM and the rest of the pub team management crew some well deserved abuse! SR, it is time to act, we are down but RM has to go so the players cannot what they know and are comfortable with, ticcy-taccy footballers they ain't, Barcelona of the early 2000s we ain't.we r Saints so let's f&@&ing play like Saints! COYRs
15 Dec 2024 12:23:35
So we will likely miss out on another current unemployed manager and we will end up sticking with the footballing equivalent of widow t****y at the helm! On the plus side though, it is actually cheaper to watch Saints rather than a real Xmas pantomime, just not as funny! , Merry f'in Xmas Sports Republic!
10 Nov 2024 23:35:06
Surely it has to be Potter?! Utd job gone, England job gone.he is ready to return to mananagement, so why not? Proven Prem Manager who got the best out of a bang average Broghton squad (look at them now! ) Firmly believe he can do the same for us. Keep us up by way of a small miracle, invest next summer and who knows! Come on Dragan, RM has to go so we can save our season.
18 Jul 2024 00:15:23
Not bad, but i'd sack off Manning, just not good enough and stick Fraser in there, replace Stephens with Wood and not sure on Brereton Diaz fitting into RMs system, but decent enough. Maybe we should try and poach Mikhautadze or Schranz, both had good Euros for lesser teams. Downes.signing of the season and for £18m bargain mush!
24 Sep 2023 22:42:43
Shippie54 - couldn't agree more, Potter keeps turning down jobs everywhere, i reckon he would snap up the Saints job in a heart beat.maybe he's waiting for the call to come and rescue us, being an ex-Saint! I reckon RM has until end of October (maybe less), if we lose next 2 he may well be out on his arse! We just don't look capable of winning a raffle let alone a football match!
