From his Twitter feed. The perfect response to some of the hysteria.
Excuse the rant…and please allow me to finish…but the over-reaction by some following #saintsfc exit from Europe leads me to say it is way too early for the panic button to be pressed & fingers to be pointed at figures in the club for perceived failings have people forgotten the result of last year’s meltdown?
Best #EPL finish ever? Is this a club in crisis now before Sept ?!? Come on
Yes, performances at #saintsfc and results have been below the high standard s of last 2 years but you cannot build quickly every year?
at some point the policy of taking big money for key players is going to affect the quality of #saintsfc squad but it is early still and maybe a period of re-adjustment & some more investment is needed but it’s too early to say the people that have got so much right are suddenly bad at what they do - like RK, Les Reed, & players - over time the club has grown steadily & whilst fans can rightly claim that money spent has not been matched by money brought in, it is too early to write off ability of key people because of a few results
There is no way #saintsfc could foresee the trouble caused by Man Utd over Mane & seemingly by Wanyama & his agent. That is unsettling the squad with players asking questions I’m sure, & #saintsfc as a club needs to hold it’s nerve up until Tuesday 6pm & stick together
If Wanyama & his agent are constructively working to get him out of #saintsfc then I hope he can look his teammates in the eye if he remains at St Mary’s after Sept 1st. If not then fans I spoke to last night would rather take the cash & move on.
There is no doubt that at some stage the club need to invest in two or three high quality signings if they’re to back up their rhetoric of wanting to stay at the right end of PL table & consistently compete for Europe, as they want .
So I get fans who are worried now after a poor start but I think it’s way too early for judgement & some journalists adding their ill-informed thoughts to keep poking at the wounded animal is not helping but division between key club staff is not something i think is true & fans should rally round - as they already do.
