We asked you to tell us one thing – good or bad – that nobody is talking about at Southampton.
Here are some of your replies:
Corey: People always say Russell Martin was the problem – he wasn’t. Juric has managed fewer games and Martin managed more games, but we did get more points under Martin. We should have kept him on until the end of the season, and then fixed the team and staff. Sport Republic needs to sort out its manager recruitment.
William: Sport Republic’s ineptitude eclipses everything else and it is still managing to fly under the radar.
Jack: Sport Republic is very quickly losing the fans’ support. I will start by saying it has done a great job of increasing the atmosphere pre-game, but it doesn’t treat Saints like a football club. There is no communication with the fans and do I even need to explain recruitment? Some of the decisions have been indefensible and I’m concerned about the direction the club is heading. We used to have a 10-year plan under previous ownership, but right now I see a rotting club. The problem is bigger than the managers and players.
Dave: When is Ross Stewart going to be fit? We bought him as an injured player and he has only come on the pitch twice!
Geoff: With so many players arriving and leaving in short order, they have no time to develop any loyalty or affection for the club. The Lallana, Shaw and Chambers generation has never been recreated, and every smaller club is now doing what Saints did so successfully 15 years ago or more. When diehards, such as James Ward-Prowse, choose more ambitious and better-run clubs, something major has gone wrong.
Noah: Nobody seems to be talking about the positives. There have been a few good matches this season and we have quite a bit of talent behind our players.
