@L1minus10 Dunno what you think @L1minus10 but this is a massive signing for us. Like you, I remain doubtful of whether keeping Tonda can work (despite thinking he’s a very good manager), but this proves players onboard. If we can add Larin and keep a few others, could be a great season.
@AlfieHouseEcho in my opinion, this would be an amazing coup to get Peretz on a perm deal. He’s a quality keeper -
Top 10 Prem standard. His arrival played a massive part in us becoming so hard to beat.
🚨 Understand Saints are in advanced talks to re-sign goalkeeper Daniel Peretz on a permanent deal. Pushing to get done quickly, Peretz keen to stay at St Mary’s and help the club get promoted despite interest elsewhere.

@dankiz1 I hear ya, but also understand why they haven’t or maybe can’t yet! Perhaps a holding statement would be better than nothing! I’d also like to hear from Tonda - but maybe he can’t speak until the FA have done their thing… if only they’d do the Man City thing with same urgency!
@L1minus10@pjcboro Sadly (due to reality and integrity!) I must concur with Glen… Tonda was brilliant and I do think he’s a very good coach. But he made a huge mistake and the club has to say goodbye. His position is untenable. We’ll find it hard to replace him but there is no option.
@JamesNewman76@SouthamptonFC We all loved him. We’ve lived the dream - but it was that… Don’t think the info garnered by viewing training is why we won games we won, we had a fucking excellent team & a coaching staff… but, despite all of that Tonda is forever linked to this episode & has to go.
@bensfc4 Need a proper leader next season.Some1 the players/fans will run through walls for & have the ❤️/ humility to be unaffected by the intense scrutiny/abuse we’ll face at all away games. Some1 who knows how to lead, when to bawl & when to love. Most important appointment in years
@RussetGrange@patricksturg Re point 1, that’s the issue! City hearing 18 months ago yet no announcements of innocence/guilt! Or a consequence if the latter!They’re allowed to continue winning cups, spending big etc? This comment/thought has nothing to do with saints guilt or otherwise… but 2 tier justice?
@henrywinter the acts of a few stain us for years to come & impact us massively. Punishment is harsh, very harsh. It is what it is. Media storm on this has been huge, understandably. We take our punishment. Where is the media storm over Man City & lack of outcome/action there?
Differences in every case, every competition and every set of rules but let’s hope the EFL’s laudably strong governance over Spygate sends a message to football generally that cheats will not prosper, on-field or off. Too ambitious?
@Borolad12345 VAR is awful and seems to help the big clubs anyway - the premier league is only interested in the ‘big’ clubs too. If it weren’t for the money that allows a club to have a decent squad, none of us would give a shite about the premier league…
@FPLTricky_@Rugby_Scoop 100% agree on kicking ball away.
Yeah, some players totally out of gas by then, but why risk a box kick? Surely 2 mins of going through the phases, set ball & repeat? French were desperate & could easily have given a pen. Instead we put ourselves in that exact position🤦♂️
@SwipeWright The shooting is murder. Nothing less. There is no justification for that officer to shoot directly at the woman or to even draw a gun. Why no ice agents attempting to calm the situation? De-escalate or murder? Shocking
@thejaydawson@AllSaintsnews98 I’d take the play-offs… would have at the start or the season.
I don’t expect us to get automatic but it is still possible if massively improbable!
I can’t see the canaries making too 6 but hey ho! Good luck if you do!
