We are so much better under him. Shame it took so long to hire him.

No Motsi but De Lisle in

fixed

we sleep next season

Right I’ve just woken up to head to work, mums been in surgery and child is teething. Anyone fancy summarising what’s going on, or providing a bullet to cure my headache? I’ve seen the words Pascal Plancque and I don’t know if I’m hallucinating

No player, no club, no owner, gets a clean slate to just be cheered all the time. It would be fair to say that the players have not been the only problem at the club. Constant change in managers, hiring and transfer strategies, has made it challenging. Upper management and the owners have created the mess, and the atmosphere that is projected at the ground. Players aren’t always the target, however, players who fail to take accountability for their mistakes, blame others, show zero leadership or desire to get out of this mess, don’t get exemptions. You obviously know Wout outside of football, but we judge players for what they contribute on the pitch. He is but one of many of the symptoms of our issues, caused by people other than himself.

Survival & culture shift the only metrics of success.

Yeah but what did the Romans do for us?

Give Nige some credit, if he’s putting his hat in the ring, his health isn’t a concern to him

Very important Eastleigh vs Solihull Moors from the Southampton commentators

Baffling weren’t it

DIVINE’S INTERVENTION

Not a big deal for most of you guys, you see a debut all the time. This is the last game I’ve been able to get across to, & happened to be the debut of this guy. Came off the bench against Boro in a 2-0 win.

I agree with you, I’m just past the point of thinking Top will sell us. He’s too much of a man child to admit he’s not the right man for the job and got it wrong.

Didn’t want this to be lost in the KP Out thread, but there’s been a shift in the Thai election that may have some positive impact to King Power. It’s important to note that KP have done a deal with Airport of Thailand as of 3rd December 2025. This has upped the minimum guarantee being paid to AOT, but also extended the contracts which KP were in danger of losing. Anutin Charnvirakul, the PM since September, will form government with a coalition following elections this month. He will be the first PM voted back to office in 20 years. His conservative populist party, the Bhumjaithai party, will form government via a coalition. Their main coalition partner could be the Pheu Thai party, which is a reincarnation of Thaksin Shinawatra’s party. Thaksin is currently in prison, but could be released in a political deal. These quotes are from the new PM, and Thaksin, post Vichai’s death. Influential political veteran Anutin Charnvirakul described his long-time friend as a "Big Brother" and "an idol." "He was not a scion of a rich family but a real fighter... he became hugely successful in a short space of time," he told AFP. "He was definitely a role model for the new generation, generous and loved by his peers. "He bought this little football club and helped it to win the championship. He cared." Exiled former premier Thaksin Shinawatra, who gave Vichai his duty-free monopoly, paid tribute to the entrepreneur on Monday, describing him as "a great businessman". "I am honoured and blessed to have known Vichai for all these years and am deeply saddened by the loss that his family has encountered," the billionaire wrote in a Facebook post. "His memory will live on forever in the lives of so many that he has touched", he added. A KP ally is now PM of the country, potentially supported by the ex-PM who started the monopoly. Not to speculate any further, but with the deals done, the new KP CEO in place (who was President of AOT), and this PM driving tourism spending in the October 2025 budget, hopefully some smoother waters for KP ahead. Shame they’re selling the yacht.

I’m very conscious of not resorting to needing a Messiah return viewpoint, like how United have acted since SAF left. But a Walsh and Smith double act would really get me excited to fix the structural and cultural issues at the club.

Has anyone mentioned that Aribo isn’t available?

This ***** is so caught up in alienating people to save his own job he’s forgotten that being able to put the right people around him, would save him his job.

Been thinking this exact thought recently. Hope you don’t half the other crap in my brain too.

Yeah but that was an all-time great sprint from Amartey

Was nice to hear him talk about is leadership not just being an arm around but also a firm hand. Seems to be something we’re missing in the squad. Even if he contributes less than nothing on the pitch, if he can be part of the mentality change in the playing squad he’ll be a massive success. Not trying to put too much on him, but the players have gotten away with far too much, and our current leaders don’t really seem like they’ve got the personality to rein them in.

Can’t believe they’ve let Ric back on the BBC, especially after the much publicised falling out back in ‘13.
