The Official Southampton FC Thread

[TyrannosauRoss Lex]

I just came here to post the same thing. He's basically saying "I haven't done my job".

As a Luton fan I’m feeling quite smug at the moment - Jones’ replacement (Rob Edwards) is doing rather better than he did for us!

How’s James Bree looking? He was a decent wing back for us - has a wicked dead ball delivery, although you’ve already got JWP for that.

There seems no longer the possibility really of an escape from relegation. The manager openly blamed himself and to me that was so naive. It seems he is in awe of being a first division manger and admitting he isn't up to the job, something I have never heard a manager do before. The bookies have us at 70% probability.

What a sad situation to be in - seems utterly hopeless. I’ve always enjoyed supporting Southampton and the dicing with death aspect of it, but it’s like they’re happily walking to the gallows by themselves.

He was massively out of his depth at Stoke.
It appears the only club he's capable of managing is Luton but I can't see them wanting him back any time soon.....I think Mick Harford was a big part of his success there, without him he's clueless

Surely Klopp's time is up at Liverpool....... can we not get him in?!

[SaintsPaul]

Strong rumours this morning that he is being sacked. A large training ground bust up yesterday would not have helped his cause.

I assume you don't mean Klopp

There's been talk of a ruckus at Staplewood, Caleta-Car stepped in with his two-penneth and, by way of a humiliating punishment, Jones dropped him to the B team. Likewise Stuart Armstrong who might not be as 'injured' as is being suggested.

I have no idea whether there's truth in any of this, but I do know that I am not warming to either Jones' tactics, or to him as a person.

Where are you hearing these rumours?

Armstrong was from a mate who works within the club.

DCC was from elsewhere (so no idea of the veracity), but it's consistent with the description of the Armstrong situation.

I see the odds on NJ getting his P45 have plummeted overnight, and just now TalkSport was reporting that 'SportRepublic is reviewing the position of Nathan Jones'.

Now let's hold onto this lead. We absolutely NEED to win this one.

With over an hour to go!?? I hope you’re right - but history suggests otherwise.

I said we need to win..... Not that we would

We definitely NEED to - I can’t see a solution if we don’t sadly.

[TyrannosauRoss Lex]

fk sake. We're down. No 2 ways about it.

[tobinen]

Grim. I haven't seen it but an OG for Wolves to equalise and then lose.

[Legacywr]

Down to 10 men for most the game

[V8covin]

Converting a 1-0 lead and playing against 10 men for most of the match into a defeat takes some doing.
Your manager is a miracle worker lol

With the best will in the world, we were down weeks ago.

Just a shame it's happening in such an embarassing way.
