steve kean is doing a great job . your club is fighting relegation and you should support the team and coach , the way you have behaved is shocking , get behind your team and manager

Rubbish ! crap manager that couldnt even run his own bath!
carry on with the protests until he`s out!
kean out
kean out!

maximus

I agree Kean is not great, however he is perfect for the Owners, talks a good game and tows the line, but Venkys are the real problem, all the hype and promises made, and yet all they have done so far is reduce costs and get as many high wage earners off the books, it started with Stan Ali and his team, he was never going to allow Venkys to run the club, too powerful and outspoken for them so he had to go. If Kean keeps Blackburn up this season he should be applauded even if he is not the greatest Manager.

I will def agree with that!
someone on this site that makes a bit of sense like me !

look what redknapp done to saints
then pi##ed off back to pompey
s**te manager never an england
manager

I agree, the media love him because he is based in london and can't keep his gob shut. What qualities make him a good england manager I don't know, he's only ever bought success. Even at bournemouth he spent a fortune for a club that size.

Spurs have spent the best part of £250m in the last 5 years (Redknapp £120m of that) in three years and still can't break the top three.

What redknapp done to saints he should of got a medal

In the last 5 years Spurs spent £188.4m gross. However, that was only £63.4m net. This is equivalent to £12.7m per year.

In the three and a half years since Redknapp has been in charge, Spurs have spent £91.5m gross and £49m net (£14m per year).

The strongest team that Spurs could put out at present (Friedel, Walker, Kaboul, Dawson, Ekotto, Lennon, Parker, Modric, Bale, Van Der Vaart and Adebayor) cost £52.1m (Torres and some small change).

Five of these players were acquired by Redknapp for a total of just £18m.

There is more to Redknapp than a cheque book.
KM

Harry will always be a legend at Bournemouth, taking the scummers down was so sweet.

Agree, there is more to Redknapp than a cheque book, there's a dodgy account in Monaco too!

A couple of pompey fans pokin their noses in be glad when your down in league 1 hopefully no one daft enough to buy your club and gone for good cant happen soon enough bye bye pompey pompey bye bye

The FA should give the England job to Les Parry. I'm sure his brand of exciting attack minded football (formation 4-6-0) would go down a treat with England fans. Seriously if Tranmere want to avoid the drop, Johnson must act now and appoint a hungry young manager like Mickey Mellon or David Kelly to breathe new life into the club. The attendances are dropping alarmingly and the lack of tactics on show from our current manager aren't going to bring the fans back to Prenton Park. I've been a season ticket holder for 21 years and have paid over £300 to watch these dire performances under Parry, I believe I'm entitled to give my point of view. I cannot watch the club I love heading towards league 2 without saying something. 1 win in 16 says it all!

we all want harry rednapp to be next england boss but what says he wants it

hopefully who ever the next manager is he'll pick players who should be there not on there name

I don't

I hate him and so do most ppl - rather give President Bush the job, got to be better than the 'Wally with the brolly'

I don't want an England manager who can not read or write properly, keeps his money in another country and has been taken to court on tax evasion charges.

This post has appeared in a local rag for a Saints supporter called confucious - I thought I'd share it with you...... Confucious says...

I hope I'll be there to see us win and won't be still hunting for my troublesome cocker spaniel Fenton who's done a runner.

In hindsight I should never have allowed him to listen to the TV news. He was only partly relieved to hear that Harry's dog Rosie's bank account was declared innocuous. This at least eased his mind about his 'life savings' - dozens of bones buried secretly in our garden.

But I'm sure that what's really playing on his mind is the 'bung' he took sneakily from the water collection barrel in our garden last summer. He has also heard me singing 'Pay Up Poopee'
and I suspect he's got it into his head that his numerous daily excretions are taxable activities. There was the usual queue of four or five dogs at the solitary lamp post in our street yesterday morning and for the first time ever he refused to join it.

I have explained to him that he has nothing to worry about, especially with his abysmal reading, writing and organisational skills. I also told him that, despite the huge resources devoted to it, the chances of HMRC ever winning anything against Poopee or anyone associated with it seem to be slimmer than Tiddlesborough United's chances would be of beating Barcelona 9-0.

I suspect Fenton will be back before long as I see he's left his secret stash of puppy treats under his bed cushioning.

Bit of a 'geezer' our Fenton, but if I miss the Burnley match on his account he'll regret it.

Good ehhh? COYRs...

England team for European Championships:
4-3-3
1 Joe Hart
2 Micah Richards
5 Michael Dawson
6 Ledley King *
3 Ashley Cole
4 Steven Gerrard (c)
7 Scott Parker
8 Jack Wilshere
9 Daniel Sturridge
11 Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
10 Wayne Rooney

* Joleon Lescott to fill in for king when not fit.
John Terry and Rio Ferdinand wouldn't be anywhere near the squad for me.
Rest of squad:
12 Kyle Walker
13 David Stockdale
14 Gareth Barry
15 Gary Cahill
16 Joleon Lescott
17 James Milner
18 Ashley Young
19 Darren Bent
20 Danny Welbeck
21 Adam Johnson
22 Leighton Baines
23 Robert Green

So Englands technically gifted team will just pass the ball into the net? Need a CF hopefully Caroll can start to justify his price tag.

I still think we need a player who can actually hold up the ball and then provide for our attacking MF.

Unfortunatley there are very few players who can do this. Bobby Zamora would be the best player at the momnent.

I'd have (as long as they're fit..)
HART - GREEN - FOSTER
COLE - BAINES
RICHARDS - WALKER
JONES - JAGIELKA - LESCOTT -
PARKER - RODWELL
WILSHERE - GERRARD -
JOHNSON - CHAMBERLAIN - YOUNG - STURRIDGE
ROONEY - WELBECK - DEFOE

+ 2 others. a defender and central mid - whoever impresses most between now and end of season. ...
AG

So basically most of same team that failed in the world cup gerrard no chance to old chamberlin id risk redmond from blues maybe people who are performing should be selected

Virtually all of that team were at the world cup 2yrs ago? what you on about? I think thats probably, on current form the best england team we've got. HART..simply number 1, RICHARDS..By far the best right back this season, beast, DAWSON and KING..both far better than Ferdinand and Terry who have both been poor for a long time, plus Terry is too disruptive, Dawson and King are also a ready made partnership, Kings fitness could be managed in the tournament, ASHLEY COLE..still the best left back we have, even tho I don't like him, GERRARD..Ready made captain, experienced, because he hasn't played the full season should be in good fitness by the summer, touch wood, still offers a lot, PARKER..been the best midfielder in the premiership this season, offers grit and passion, WILSHERE..depending on his fitness, is pure class as we all know, if Wilshere isn't fit I'd even be tempted to ask Paul Scholes to play 1 more tournament the way he's played since coming back to Man Utd this season, offers experience, passing, control, would prefer Scholes than Lampard, STURRIDGE..offers pace, control, strength, goals and is in great form, OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN..could be a gamble but hes strong, got a good head on his shoulders, quick, tricky, can run at people, offers a final ball and goals, Walcott doesn't, ROONEY..can lead a line but can also link up, with Sturridge and Oxlade-Chamberlain running into spaces, very experienced for his age and offers passion and goals. WELBECK could also be used, has played well this season.
