I honestly think if we keep faith and give him 6 or 7 seasons he will turn it round and we will be score goals for fun srs!
I mean, unless he starts losing his hair

I had a look on Saintsweb the other day and this hashtag campaign seems to have been started by Guan. He used to be the ITK character over there. Is he still ITK? If so, what does he know that means he needs to start a Twitter campaign? Or he is just a bellend?
It was started by him and he used to be ITK but isnt any longer. He used to write very cryptic posts which, I am sure, meant something to him, but little to the rest of us. Basically he is just a bellend. I remember him posting pictures of the dead bodies in the Bataclan Club in Paris not long after the mass shootings on TSW and getting very sniffy when called about the insensitivy of that so soon after the massacre. He has never stumped up his fiver so it shows you how committed he is to a) the cause and b) TSW.
I’m not sure that not paying £5 to post on SWF is an indication of anything other than sense.

I’m not v.on board with bullying around to sack Pellegrino as yet. He might be the problem, I can’t tell. I don’t see what he’s doing on the training ground or what is happening behind the scenes. I’ll let the club make that call I spose. Last game I saw was West Brom and I thought we was Quite Good.
I could prob support a more truthful hashtag that really gets to the crux of the issue like i.e #WeWantMoreWins.
I’d be happy with #idontwanttobeboredagain

So then, Pellegrino. I am struggling with the whole Pellegrino out thing. Not because he is a footballing genius, but 13 games in, has he really had time to change the malaise that clearly started during Claude’s reign? He inherited a team full of promise but for whatever reason, unable to score and on a downward spiral in terms of confidence. Maybe the Fonte situation knocked the stuffing out of the club, closely followed by VVD and his dumming spitting antics. Who knows? Clearly we needed a goalscorer. Clearly those in our budget range do not grow on trees. It appears that we did try and get Vietto in during the summer and for whatever reason it didnt happen. He doesnt seem to be a prolific goalscorer but he would have been fresh blood and maybe enough to make the change upfront that we need. As has been said many times though, it is more about the quality of the final ball to the strikers, or picking the right pass that is missing. So a decent no 10 should be on Santa’s list. If the 89% or so of the pitchfork bearers on TSW get their way and MP is sent packing, what if the next guy also struggles to get this lot motivated and firing? Do we sack him after 13 games too? There is a strange need over there to sack people. In recent times they have wanted Koeman, Puel, Reed, Krueger, Kat Liebherr, Black, Pelle, Redmond, Tadic, JWP, Forster gone. I am sure I have missed some others. 8th and a decent cup final wasnt enough for the mob. Well perhaps a relegation battle and an early exit from all cups will tip a few even further over the edge. We are not a big club. Sunderland, who are a bigger club than us, face a double relegation. We are not immune to that kind of calamity (as we know from the not too recent past). The Championship is full of Southampton sized clubs. What makes us more special than any of those? We have had a really good run over the last few years, we were always going to face a time when we slipped back without a massive injection of cash for higher wages and more expensive players. The academy production line was never going to roll off gems every year. What is it with football supporters and their ridiculous sense of entitlement? Yes, well all hope for better, so do the supporters of every other team and hence many are going to be very disappointed every season. If you cant deal with that, then perhaps you should take up bingo or something. I have experienced many ups and downs since 1966. All I expect is more of the same.
We’re not just asking for the sacking of Pellegrino, Bear. We want Watson and Black gone too. And Les Reed. And Ross Wilson. And we want them replaced with Koeman and Cortese and Jan and Edwin, and Adkins in charge of the Academy. Plus we want Doris the tealady to fuck right off and I want my mum to be given the job.
It’s not much to ask is it? (Oh, and Lawrie Mac given a knighthood, a blowjob, and a £10 gift voucher for Argos, thanks Mr Goa.)

Who’d replace him?
The players aren’t good enough, that is not coaching.

They looked good enough in the cup final didnt they? Tadic looks quality when playing for his country. Our back four are all seasoned internationals. So who would replace him and is their any guarantee he would do any better? I suppose Fat Sam and Pulis would kick some butt but they would also have you spitting your dummy out even further with the quality of the football.
It does make sense and no, paying £5 a year to be on that site doesnt make sense!
The Cup Final comfort blanket we lost, your point?
It may be the case that Pellegrino is not a very good manager, but you can’t go sacking people just for not being very good! It would set a dangerous precedent! I’ve got a mortgage to think about. Prob guan has too.

Fair point Fats, but why would you join someone on the baracade if they arent a signed up member of the revolutionary party?
Guys, guys guys. (And the ladies)
I think we’re going about this all SWF and let’s face it, if we do that @pap will simply imagine he can retire and will charge us 4.99.
We need to RISE to the occassion.
So I think from now on our response needs to be simple and one line
