[Football] Has Nathan Bitten Off More Than He Can Chew? - Sacked 12/02/2023

[Tyrone Biggums]

Is there anything society ‘as a whole’ agree on?

There would be lots of things society agree on.

Do sharks live in water?

The answer is not an opinion, it's a fact.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Damn! Definitely taking them down, making Southampton a laughing stock and I’m going to miss his absolutely mental quotes!

The fittest man who ever lived!

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

To paraphrase The Supremes/Bananarama "Nathan Jones you've been here too long"

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Only going to be a question of time before a manager is sacked at half time if it hasn't already?

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

His response when the post match interviewer asked if their fortunes would turn around was "God willing" completely absolving himself of any responsibility.

Bloke is an absolute fraud.

To be fair to the man l don't think he is a fraud, just totally out of his depth.

 

[Eric Potts]

Are there now illegal beliefs in this country? How the hell do you police that?

Robustly , if it's the Met.

 

[Normal Rob]

He just comes across to me as a man with zero gravitas. Totally lacking in everything required for the role.

 

[Javeaseagull]

It's a kindness really, when you think about it. It was like watching someone disintegrate mentally right in front of you. Hope he is OK.

I disagree.

This shark certainly doesn’t live in water.

Who the f*** would take the southampton job now? Guaranteed relegation.

I'm up for it , no qualifications in football , one of the last to be picked when the class football teams were picked but know a good earner when i see it.

Spot on... seems to have done very well for Luton , but possibly not the 'strong enough' to deal with PL egos...

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

I hope so too. It's plain he is going through an absolutely torrid time.

 

[Tom Bombadil]

Well you just stated an opinion.

Society does not believe this at all. "Some" people have this opinion, not society as a whole.

So it's not a fact at all.

The law is a woeful thing to use as evidence of a "fact" as the law is based on opinions.

Oh ffs can't you take this argument somewhere else?

 

[Hugo Rune]

Who the f*** would take the southampton job now? Guaranteed relegation.

I think Dyche could save them. Unfortunately for the Saints, he’ll now be saving one of their relegation rivals!

 

[Triggaaar]

The answer is not an opinion, it's a fact.

And it's a fact that transgender people have legal rights as their new gender. The fact that the law is made by people's opinions is irrelevant, it's still a fact that they have legal rights.

 

[GT49er]

Similar to the Potter at Chelsea situation really - fans were generally quite happy with their manager (emphasis on the words 'generally' and 'quite') and then they were outraged by the replacement not being a 'big enough name' and got tore in from the start. Probaly some of the players too.

 

[AlexBH]

He should’ve stayed at Luton. He seemed out of his depth and totally clueless as to how to manage Premier League players and handle basic things such as a press conference and has all but admitted he was out of his depth probably talking himself to a sacking. I’m sure he has been paid very well for his time there with a nice pay off, but time will tell whether it was really worth it career wise jumping ship at Luton. Some managers and players just suit certain clubs and certain levels, he could’ve killed off his chance of managing at the top level again. Southampton look odds on to get relegated now, their recruitment in recent years has been dreadful.

It's hard to argue with what you say. He was royally found out when he left Luton before, and Stoke were just a bigger and higher profile Championship club.

Now he is trying to mix it with the big boys in the Premier League, so maybe it shouldn't be a surprise that this is happening all over again.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Stevie G the early favourite.

why though? If his name wasn’t Gerrard, his managerial record wouldn’t get him anywhere near this job.

 

[Blue3]

the problem I suspect with Southampton has more to do with the lack of leaders on and off the field
