The Doctor

Double pivot podcast is pretty good. He's decent on analytics and a spurs fan, I'd take his opinion with a lot of credence on this tbh

Never rated him at Spurs, not exactly happy with our budget going on this while we let Hzolek slip through our grasp, but I hope he proves me wrong.

? what does that have to do with summer 22, where we wanted to make his loan permanent but the board were penny pinching to try and avoid an FFP breach?

managers who get head hunted typically takes their coaching team with them. That KDH was only £5m more than Skipp is on Rudkin for being a dogshit negotiator, and cancelling a US tour is actually a sensible move, we've seen how much that messes up preparations for a club of our size when we did that international championship shit in summer 2016. As for having backup coaches, again, that's on the club for faffing around with getting his replacement. Don't know why you're desperate to blame Enzo for what is the boards fault.

Stowell was famously despised by most of our fans who argued he made every keeper worse. Taking your coaching team is normal. Star player less so but KDH was always going as a result of the gross mismanagement of the finances

cannot believe the hate so much of our fan base has for the bloke, christ. dude came in, immediately turned us around and brought us back up. Really feels like a load of you would have rather finished 15th trying to counter against teams playing with 10 in their own box at all times

got his number on speed dial. "hey John, got a squad filler here, RRP is £3m but for you, I can do £30m... grand, I'll send the contracts over later today".

2% of the season done (8 of 380 games) and we're not currently in the relegation zone. just another 98% to go

absolutely honking, 6m fee and a 80k/week 3 year contract incoming

it'd be more positive if we'd got our necessary business done. like on the face of it, Skipp is a good signing for a newly promoted club. However, it has to include the context that we've got PSR issues and currently have a 21 year old who played 431 minutes in the championship last season as our only fit striker, and a 19 year old loanee as our only attacking midfielder

genuinely if this is the sort of deal we're gunning for to satisfy brexit Steve's demand for "PL experience" then he can get in on Rudkins concrete boot soar tour

25m

yea because the issue is that he's British and not that he's got single digit goals and assists in the last six years total, and we're looking like we're gonna struggle to create anything without reinforcements

£20m just relegate us now, what a joke.

what is the actual point? the dude is not creative in the slightest and we've got a severe deficiency of midfielders who know where the goal is or can find the forwards (also got a severe deficiency of forwards too)

oh yea but he started well. something about the sea air there wrecking keepers

Forster was good about a decade ago, before that probably Niemi

God Alex McCarthy is shit. how do Southampton have nothing but shit keepers?

we didn't fail those years but we lumbered ourselves with the wages that would cause the failure, we overstretched to achieve them and then it caught up with us

I mean yes, the weakest link in any computerised system is the end user but you can't really idiot proof the system more than it already is (open ticket on phone, touch phone to reader), so questions should be really asked about whether forcing uptake is sensible

Preston looking for their third manager of the season already

I mean they need new honesty flags every game because people keep knicking them

Yorkshire puddings and a new ticket office to presumably get a disposable phone for the mobile tickets from, what a time to be alive
