Lets get this straight last nights result was down to the players on the pitch (some on there longer than others) and not Gao, lack of investment and VAR.
Without the poor but correct decisions (Adams offside you canât tell) weâd have still been thumped so what do we know?
Again little within the club and they remain silent, silent on ambition, on what and where the club are going and what we hope to achieve?
This is the most worrying most would agree Hassenhutl is a tremendous manager who could quite easily go onto better things even after such a bad defeat so why what is keeping him here now?
Why should he stay when its obvious he wasnât backed up in the window when weâve been crying out for defenders for a long long time.
The only thing we know for sure 100% is the club is for sale and no one is buying, then again would you?
The thing is after speaking to a mate last night his words were
âWhat do the fans want? Are they happy with this? Not the result weâre shite against them and weâre shite against most in the Prem over our years but when we had no money at the Dell you knew our goals and accepted that it was a result to stay up from day one of the season, is this now better? No not a chance because us being the underdog galvanised the fans and gave us an identity, what identity do we have now? What bonds the fans?â
I couldnât think of anything, stasis is the word that defines us, nothing changes, groundhog day but not positive in the grand scheme of things, sure we get a day in the sun every other month but what about the other days? Weâre just drifting collecting the tv money but actually doing nothing for that.
If Southampton Football Club were human itâd be two 50 year olds whoâve had their kids whoâve now gone to uni and are living separate lives in the same house.
Drifting.
The club isnât united, how can it be when we donât know what the goals are?
We werenât as well informed but it was a simpler time then of simply surviving, thatâs is what bonded us and gave us an identity, the Dell, the atmosphere and us against the World.
