Not replacing Stewart and going into the season with only 1 proven goalscorer and who can lead the line with promotion as the main target is a bit silly. 1 injury for Larin away from struggling...oh wait

The Bank of England has raised interest rates to 4%, supposedly to tackle inflation.
There is just one problem with this decision. The Bank knows that much of the inflation we are suffering is being driven by rising oil and energy prices, largely resulting from conflict in the Middle East.
It also knows that raising interest rates cannot reduce those prices.
So why is it doing this?
The answer is that the Bank believes it must suppress demand elsewhere in the economy to compensate for rising energy costs.
In other words, it is deliberately making mortgages more expensive, increasing business borrowing costs, discouraging investment and reducing household spending power.
And all this when people are already struggling with higher energy bills. That is problem number one.
There is, however, another problem. Higher interest rates increase costs for businesses, which can then feed through into higher prices. They can, in that case, add to inflation rather than reduce it.
The Bank is imposing economic pain to address a problem its chosen policy cannot directly solve.
That is not sound economic management. It is the consequence of an economic dogma that refuses to recognise the difference between inflation caused by excessive demand and inflation caused by supply shocks.
When will we learn?
Is anyone else genuinly confused as to this guys view on this? Both players have a right to go for the ball, but as soon as peretz gets there first and makes the save, its then a foul on him all day long. Attackers got there late and then it's a foul!? #saintsfc
I liked Dragan putting a little bit about the EFL in his statement. Absolutely no love lost there and rightfully calling them out at every oppurtunity.
Need the 'FUCK THE EFL' chant as loud as possible for every televised game we have with them.

Has everyone forgotten that we already got kicked out of the final after winning the semi finals AND got a 4 point deduction to start the season on. I thought that was over the top, yet this guy doesnt even think it was 'adequate'.
Games gone, to many softies around #saintsfc
There HAS to be an adequate punishment to serve as an adequate deterrent - otherwise the game has truly gone.
Might feel harsh to those involved in the moment, but if you tamper with the game then you MUST suffer the consequence. Simples.
@Josh1yq4@Effie_D Every pre and post match interview should start and end with an apology at the very least really with a written apology posted out once a week in international breaks and during the off season for the rest of time.
Glad he's come out and said it. Our problem is, and it was abduntly clear, our squad was weakened and not enough done to even keep us stood still. Instead we've gone backwards and the huge drop in quality when subs are made is alarming. #saintsfc
Flynn Downes: โTo come away from home, 1-0 up has got to be enough. Everyone has to step up. We said that in the changing room. Weโre already in an uphill battle this season & we canโt afford to drop points here. Weโve got to win these games. Itโs as simple as that.โ #saintsfc
Looking at tonights team. We're actually 1 Cyle Larin injury away from having no goals, no focal point up top and the rest of it behind him goes to shit because of it. Like the first half of last season basically. #saintsfc
Squad looks a bit light. Only need a couple of injuries to 1st teamers and that'll will be highlighted by drop in quality we'll have at our disposal to cover them or even rotate with. Risky

JWP isnt what we need to replace Charles. He's just another slow ponderous player who hasnt played consistently for a few years so will spend nearly half a season trying to regain match sharpness (if ever does). Not the one and massive wages.
#saintsfc
Another big week for Spors and Dragan coming up. Squad is still lacking in all the areas we knew it was last season and losing Stewart & Charles has made us even weaker. Still need a CB, CM, RB and some actual pace wide or up top.
Tonight shows our lack of quality
#saintsfc
Midweek cup game, in school holidays. If club werent greedy and priced it right, would have easily been a sell out and you give a 1st matchday experience to a load of youngsters and draw them in for life haha
Instead,were greedy and cant even sell half the stadium #saintsfc
I get it, 27 senior players is a bit to much. But also, realistically, 10 or so of them we want gone as they arent good enough to get us where we need to be. So still need improvements in the squad. #saintsfc
Asked Tonda Eckert about the last 10 days of the transfer window: "I'm more than confident that we still do some business towards the end of the window, but also reduce squad size. Let's see where we end up, but 27 [senior players] definitely is too much."

THB has to be ยฃ25 mill upfront WITH another ยฃ5-7 achievable add ons and/ or sell on % depending on the add ons.
They're selling Konsa for ยฃ50 mil they can afford it, and if they dont want to, we keep him as he's worth more to us part of the team for promotion #saintsfc
