A lot of people like to make out that Puel was brilliant for us.

 

The reality is that we just had a summer where our incoming transfers were very good. Football under him was miserable and those players only reached their potential after he left.

dont get me wrong, he wasnt great but he wasnt brilliant for us either, like a middle of the road manager,

I don't even think we can look at the modicum positives in that Martin's transfer track record isn't too bad as it'll still be conducted by Glover and Rudkin primarily. I actually think Glover should go down as one of the worst in the business, we have been diabolical since he came in and makes Lee Congerton look like Monchi.

not wrong, for every 1 decent player he seems to get 9 rancid ones

all these "scouts, Head of recuitment etc", it feels like they do **** all for 99% of the time, we on this forum could probably come up with 50 players within a day under a certain price who would improve this squad next season

Puel built an excellent team, he just had a very low ceiling in terms of what he could succeed with that team.

 

Martin is a twat with a good head of hair, and an attractive wife. 
 

This is more like Peter Taylor but worse.

think many forget the amount of good players he managed to bring in, 

alot of the team rodgers had were Puel signings....

on martin, the more and more i read the more i feel its all going to go tits up.....unless hes actually had the balls to adapt his style when needed

but his possession based style dont fully work anymore

if this one doesnt come off for the club, then it will certainly be the nail in the coffin for King Power at the club

wow

on martin, lets not forget....the 3 league games against us when he was at Saints....he lost 4-1,5-0 and 3-2

and in the first 2 we could have easily won by more

appointing Martin shows nothing has changed at the club, they still believe the style of play is the key, even tho its kinda out dated now, even pep went away from it the last couple of seasons...

just shows the club is still in the past as well

just shows the Sporting Director is nothing but a puppet....a show piece or hes just completely lazy 

going for Martin is a complete waste of time, showed the last couple of seasons hes poor and out dated, 

Dave Challinor could well be back in the frame, with Tony Mowbray going to Blackburn....

would be my choice over martin 

but Nixon says Martin is talking "terms" atm

tony mowbray new Blackburn Head coach

dave challinor anyone?

more and more stuff coming out......jesus the are in the hole and think digging further is going to get them out

Christ the pure level of stupidlty from Southampton with some of the things they are saying is making them look worse imo

just own the decision and youll get more respect from it

the Southampton owner is actually making things worse atm id say, wonderful to see

they still think the punishment is unfair......christ

talk about head in the sand

easily the most disliked club in the country,

lovely way for it to end,

cant wait for Arteta to moan about them not being given a penalty but totally forget about the saka handball

whys the arsenal bench moaning like that in regards that not being given

they got away with one in the first half ffs

cant have it both ways, why so many dont like arsenal 

club doing its best to try and go out of business by the looks of it

massive loss for Lincoln and big coup for Bristol City id say

Anyone else watching this thinking this could and maybe should be us? 

aye imo we should have at least got to the final and think we'd have probably won it too

This competition risks becoming an absolute joke.
 

It’s hard to see past Prem sides winning it every year. Especially as there’s no Europa drop downs. 

it is at times, its potentially 3 out of 5 going to Prem teams, if palace win tonight

Mateta is everything Daka isn't  

 

and the fact Palace have a manager telling them to attack, not pass backwards and sideways

palace limps

oh what could have been for us a few yrs back

do find it funny tho some saints fans are thinking its a vendetta against them...or something

that there was ex boro people on the original board who made the decision.....

not even remotely but any blame on their  club
