villa89 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Their signing policy in the summer said alot. Sign young players and hope you can sell them on at a profit. Not a sustainable strategy. Once their old sugar daddy owner died and his daughter took over ownership they were always going to struggle. She has no interest in them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are probably due a relegation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Southampton have had two owners since Katharina Liebherr, Gao Jisheng and then he sold them to Dragan Šolak earlier this year. Liebherr family left back in 2017. When Šolak's company bought them earlier this year there was big thing made of how they were going to follow a similar model to Brentford, which I guess is what they've been trying to do with all these young signings, not really sure how Nathan Jones fits into it though, I could be wrong but I don't think he's particularly known for nurturing young players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sometimes you run out of luck. It's not sustainable because your signings aren't going to work out most of the time. You need a balance of known quality players, a good manager and a few prospects. Southampton sold players like Ings and didn't replace them.

Mantis Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 1 hour ago, useless said: £4m compensation for Jones. Neil Critchley might come into contention for the Luton job. From a Southampton forum: "Tonight, we need every supporter in the ground to chant "WE DONT WANT JONES" very loudly, none stop throughout the game......and just maybe the management might listen." They are not happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Poor fans eh. This time last week we were only above them due to the alphabet. Now we have Emery and they have Nathan Fookin Jones. I do feel for them. Sometimes the decisions football boards make are impossible to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Personally I’d be worried if I were a Saints fan. I would have no confidence in him at all and I think he’ll need to start well in the New Year, if not, I can see him hounded out by February.
