Southampton post match thread

If I was writing a University thesis on good and bad decisions by management boards, I'd say allowing Pellegrini to stay on knowing he was effectively sacked, would go down as a classic example of bad management practice and a clear warning of what NOT to do as a board.

He should have been sacked and replaced with an interim months ago.
 
The scary thing is, how many of the numerous players people are saying need to be gone in the summer are out of contract? I can't see too many clubs cueing up to spend big money on transfers and the inevitable huge wages of the majority of that side today? Getting rid of them might not be as easy as just saying it.

It has more depth than it did since that uselesd old **** has given Iheanacho more time.

I wonder how many more he's missed.

Seriously, take the first team out (inc Nacho) and tbh, we don't have a lot left. Several are past there sell by date and others are just not a good fit. It will be interesting watching the transfer thread in the off season

That's been overlooked Karen, we've been fucking hammered in games , beaten easily and tactically embarrassed .

I can't stand the **** , a charlatan of the highest order, employed by a guy banking on his old mate to pull him out of the shit.

Tkixi is equally to blame.

He is, I think he's more to blame than MP because he's provided MP with a shit set of players. Yes Mp should've done better regardless but I think we can all agree it's the worst squad we've had for quite a few years. Don't understand how people who apparently know so much about the game can get it this horribly wrong.

De Bruyne is the only player we've bought in the last 3 years who can play a pass and be comfortable on the ball. We now have a team of footballers who can't play football.

Quite astonishing given that Txiki worked previously at Barca.... our scouting network really needs some sackings.

What's changed in terms of the people doing the recruitment?
 
I said last week that we should only play today players who will be here next season and who would fight for their places.

Picking and playing someone like DeMichelis and Bony - who nobody this side of pluto believes will be here next season - is what was wrong.

I was told when saying that on here that our players will be playing to be here next season or to get a new deal elsewhere.

No they will not. They will all get jobs in easier leagues where they don't have to put in a shift and City will take whatever loss deal we get offered to offload as usual.

We should have played more youth today who WILL be here. As the ones who did play well did so because they are fighting for a future here.

So playing a load of soon to be ex City players was predictably suicidal.

We have it all to do now in a must win game days after our exertions on Wednesday. Arsenal will be happy with a draw as that guarantees third given they play Villa at home in a last game even today's City team would win!

I can write MPs press conference already blaming the exertions of a heroic extra time defeat and Sky not agreeing to move the game to Wednesday for why we lost 1-0.

But adding - hey - I have got a great new job managing Arsenal.

He is a perfect fit for their annual 'get fourth' campaign given as he has scuppered them from doing that this year.
