Comment | Saints Award Jack Stephens A 3 Year Contract.
at 21:54:03
Despite most people moaning about Jack, myself included, when fit he keeps getting picked by every manager. Given the howlers we all see him commit on a regular basis, there must be something about him in training or behind the scenes for them to keep doing that,. |

Comment | Promoted German Club Interested In Southampton Defender
at 13:00:51
Both ABK and Salisu showed early glimpses of real superstar potential. Sadly neither delivered on that promise for us. In the championship, CB is an area we have well covered. Take the money and move on. |

at 11:49:06
Don't think SR do marquee big name signings, so expect us to be in for this type of player. Whether it happens is dependent upon a lot of factors, most of which are out of our control. |

Comment | Sky Sports Reports Ivan Juric Sacked
at 12:38:22
Sensible decision to part ways, not sure what Juric could offer now. I suspect it will be Rusk as caretaker manager until the end of the season.
I agree it's time to seriously assess what we have for next season. Really need experience and bite on the pitch for next year. |

Comment | Southampton V Crystal Palace The Preview
at 12:02:03
Could have gone tonight but just couldn't face it. Enjoyed the game at Liverpool and I'd like to leave that as my final memory for this season.
Squad is poor, new manager hasn't improved our performance(for whatever reason) Club is badly run and most players don't look interested. Hopefully this will mean that we play well and win tonight for the fans who show more gumption than me and actually attend.
No idea who will play other than not Smallbone.
Roll on next year as far as I am concerned. |

Hopefully a policeman with a truncheon and a crocodile with some sausages will shortly appear to escort him back to where he belongs. |

Comment | Crystal Palace Linked With Southampton Defender
at 20:31:19
He looked great last year. Hasn't played well this season but is that down to him or the poor organisation from both managers and poor recruitment around him.
I'm sure he won't stay with us next year, so the only positive spin I can put on it is the more interest the better!

Comment | Henrik Kraft Resigns As A Director Of Sport Republic
at 12:24:45
I think in running football clubs, like most careers, sometimes there is a lot of luck involved. Football seems strewn with people who discovered 'so and so' usually they were just in the right place at the right time.
Look at Les Reid and the black box. It worked until it didn't work.
Similarly, I have yet to be convinced otherwise that Ankerson just struck lucky in previous roles. After a poor start, at least 3 bad choices out of 4 for manager, whether that run of luck can continue at Saints looks to be severely at risk. |

Comment | Southampton V Brighton The Verdict
at 12:27:00
Tbh embarrassing as it would be, I'm begining to think that the worst point total in PL history would be a fair result for this side.
Dragan needs to take some names because Sports Republic are just p@££ing his money away making wrong decision after wrong decision on both managers and players. |

Comment | Have Southampton Fans Finally Lost Faith With The Club
at 11:00:57
Adapting a famous political quote:
'It's the results, stupid'
I think there needs to be more reassurance that mistakes have been learned. This season's key mistakes are allowing the manager to persevere with a style that clearly wasn't working and failing to adequately improve the squad in the off season.
If those 2 reasons had been better handled, the results on the pitch would have been better, games more competitive and the atmosphere in St Mary's would be better.
The stated aim to 'Yo yo' for a few years would be understandable to build the squad depth but we need to hear this.

Comment | Southampton V Bournemouth The Preview
at 14:31:35
I think Juric is trying to find players with a bit of fight in them. He's not too fussed if he has to play them out of position. Fernandes and Wellington have a bit of a spark and even Sulemana is giving it a go.
Whether this is the right approach for Saints in the long term, that's Ivan's problem. As Sports Republic seems just an exercise ATM in making Dragan's large fortune smaller, it's up to DS to get the right staff in to safeguard his investment.
With all this doom and gloom, hopefully we can pull one out of the bag today. Who knows?

Comment | Adam Armstrong Leaves For West Bromwich Albion On Loan
at 22:33:40
Much as I appreciate his work rate, he has had 2 goes at the PL and the goals have dried up both times. He just doesn't seem able to adapt to quicker or more skillful PL defenders playing tighter to him. He constantly loses the ball either to challenges or through giving the ball away.
While it would be great to have him next season in the Championship, if his contract has only just over a year to run, then better to put him in the shop window now and cash in at the end of the season. |

Regardless of form and the actual team put out, in my mind, we are going to get some more points at some point this season. This could be the game to do just that.
