Sadly Brian it was sung more than once and from my recollection more people joined in at later stages in the game, and this does deserve it's own thread it was embarrassing...... |

Having two good full backs has finally made us look more solid at the back, Leicester have two good wingers which were pretty much nullified yesterday.
I'm hoping Mr Sheens observation isn't an omen, it's the last home game before the 1st January when I guess he could be recalled and the way our squad is balanced at the moment retaining Davies is far more important than chucking a load of money at Edwards that we may not have. |

Agreed absolutely bang out of order, I guess everybody has their own take on Martis demise but he deserves respect for what he did for the club, I think he was probably brave enough to disagree with Nourry and that was only going to end one way as has been said before CN is a bit of a control freak, I'm the boss we're doing it my way end of.
Amazed people couldn't hear it in the Lower loft it started with just a few in R block but as the game went on it seemed to gain momentum and more joined in, it was embarrassing.
Cifuentes did a very good job for us in his first season, the second wasn't going so well but he had a much weaker squad than we have now and if I remember correctly there were quite a few injuries to contend with.
For me a genuine shame he didn't get a better reception, it's another part of our very rocky road history, we've moved on and I obviously loved the performance and the win yesterday and look forward to the current team developing. [Post edited 21 Dec 10:09]

I can only echo what a few people have already typed, that was a superb message to all the people who contribute and read the forum, I hope Santa brings you all that you asked for, that would start with a QPR cup run, a top six finish and a case of Peroni, have a great Xmas......

Agreed there's so many varying opinions on the Cifuentes departure and I still have the feeling he didn't want to leave, he said as much as he walked round the ground at the end of the season.
Nobody knows the facts because it's how Nourry manages his reign as supreme leader, what we can only surmise is that Marti had significant disagreements with CN and that was always going to end one way as it's his way and you have to toe the line.
Sad to see Marti in the opposition dugout but we've moved on as ever and always give our support to the club we support, will be a great atmosphere today and if we can replicate the energy of the Birmingham game we have a good chance. |

Exactly it's normally the total opposite and players are more expensive in January, like you I can't see Southampton wanting to sell unless it's for a substantial fee.
We need to show some patience this time and stick with the squad we have till the Summer unless an absolute bargain comes available, we've been burnt too many times before and we need to keep any possible FFP headroom available for the Summer when the best deals are done. |

Great preview, like everyone else hugely disappointed with the way Furlong is being treated by the man/child, first of all why did this have to happen i got the impression he was a good coach and secondly if it really did have to happen because it doesn't fit within the new over hyped coaching structure then at least wait till the end of the season. |

Well that depends how serious the reported offer was for Varane in the Summer, we currently have him in the shop window and have more than adequate replacements in Field and Hayden waiting in the wings. |

Mmm I'm thinking more that we're developing players to sell for money, I see Varane the first one off, there was reportedly interest in him in the Summer and we have replacements in Field and Hayden.
It may seem controversial but Dembele had his best game for us on Saturday and if we can help him develop more then he may well be in demand and command a decent fee.
The Eze money has all but been spent, we have to become a club that develops and sells to give us FFP headroom, we have a squad now which on paper gives us room to sell a couple of players for decent money. [Post edited 25 Nov 9:00]

The squad seems set up now to develop and sell, we can offload two players in January or the Summer and we can slot other players into their position. |

Guess you need to ask CN for the definitive answer to that question, there was plenty in the press saying we had been made an offer and turned it down, some saying it was £3 million plus add-ons, any hard cash who knows most transfers seem to be done in staged payments.
The offer was either a Spanish or French club I can't remember which, lots of people saying that he would excel more on the Continent as he would get more time on the ball, totally agree that strikers are more marketable but Varane may be the first cab off the rank, he's the right age and it's a good time to sell in relation to his contract length. |

Bearing in mind we are a club who has to develop players and then sell on for profit to give us some headroom in the FFP calculations, the next player very likely to be sold is Varane, it's all very subjective and you won't agree.
Varanes transfer value will not either hold or increase on the bench and we have Field and Hayden who do exactly the same job, Fields versatility also makes him an important member of the squad. |

Wow I think it's very sad this thread has dipped to this level, personally I'm disappointed that it's been politicised, but i guess I'm heavily influenced by the fact we lost family in the Second world war. |

Reply | Southampton… How do we think we will line up?
at 09:13 5 Nov 2025
I take Numptys point but I'm with you all the way, everybody has said how well Chair has played since he came back and that result against Ipswich was nothing to do with Chair being in the team, a decent left back and a better goalkeeper and we could well have got a point from the game.
I also agree about Sam Field he's been written off far too quickly but I still think one of the main reasons Varane gets the nod over him is because we want to sell him and his market value decreases sitting on the bench. [Post edited 5 Nov 9:32]

Exactly this the definition of hypocrisy plus Numpty you got so upset with people disagreeing and down voting about a year ago approx you said you won't post any more, definition of a Numpty.
Just about calmed down now from Saturday, tend to avoid posting right after a defeat, we left on 87 minutes what exactly was the point in staying any longer, the main reason we stayed that long was the forlorn hope that we could get a goal back and salvage a bit of respectability to the scoreline, no chance.
Picking Esquerdinha for the game was bizarre, had JS at all watched Ipswich play, reviewed some of there games maybe and seen Walle Egeli, he's quick and skilful, leaving RND on the bench was asking for trouble, he's an experienced defender who may well have stopped the cross for the first.
Ipswich have a good team they have paid a lot of money and for some reason we didn't give them the respect they were due maybe because they sat in a false position below us in the league table.
We managed to get ourselves back in the game in the first half and we looked as if we might get a point by half time, it was interesting to see the Ipswich team come out early for a warm up at half time, that's all down to McKennas half time talk and probably saying let's get at them quickly at the start and it worked. It just feels we are naive at the moment in so many areas but for that said if we had a better left back and goalkeeper we would probably have got a point out of the game, Southampton on Wednesday the team need to forget the result and focus on another very difficult game.

My thoughts are with you Terry, having to get the 6pm train after that second half non performance, if Norrington Davies had started and we had a better keeper we probably would have got a point. |

at 11:19 22 Oct 2025
Jeez I can't believe we're going down this road already, Field is a very valuable member of the squad, we have Field, Hayden and Varane who can play in the defensive midfield position, they are competing for one starting position.
Its the general consensus of opinion that we are now a club who has to develop and sell players for profit unless the very unlikely event happens we get promoted, even then you still need to attempt to make profits on players. There's a very good chance that the CEO has communicated this fact to the Manager, we have already had a bid for Varane which was rejected, this could be because if we play Varane regularly this season we will get an increased offer for Varane.
There's a good chance that if Varane plays well the club will get another offer for him either in January or the Summer next year, he's the right age to get a decent offer for a player and we have to accept he will be sold.
How you rate Field and Hayden is all personal opinion but we have players who can fill Varanes role, if Varane puts in similar performances to the Millwall game then that won't increase his value, I'm a fan of Field I know his limitations but as a defensive midfielder he does a good job. |

Yeah I thought that was really weird looking at Ipswichs line up before the game, a big risk which didn't work, there's no way I would leave Philogene on the bench if he's fit but then his argument is that he has to manage the squad and players loading I guess. |
