Does this mean we are in for a big surprise?

So what is the latest? Are there any itkers with any,updates as we still do not really know who it could be. I'm still hoping for Pellegrini.

I like to wish Victor as the best. He was a powerhouse for us and will continue to be so for Tottenham. He gave us three amazing years. It was a lovely touch of a message that he wrote too

I like to wish Sadio all the best, was a top, top player for us and he will go on to become one of the best. Will never forget his record breaking hat-trick in the 6-1 demolition of Villa.

This is a joke. Should never be selling to one of our rivals. We can offer European football next season, they can't. Plus Mane is one of the best attackers we've had since MLT.

Saint Billy, what is the new direction then? Any inside info. I'm personally still hoping the new manager will be Pellegrini.

Very pleased with this signing, has got loads of potential and will only get better. Hopefully we can keep Mane.

Its breaking news on SSN, having a medical. Would be a quality signing. COYR

How come that guy on the Sotonians forum is saying that Pellegrini is the number one choice ?

Yeah exactly. Hope that isn't true and he is still in the running. Pellegrini is by and away the best candidate available.

Brilliant news, Davo is a top player & top bloke. So good that we are getting the core of the squad signed up long term.

This is absolutely correct. He is an absolute immense presence, powerhouse infact. If I were Victor I would wait and see who the new manager will be first before making any decisions.

what about Pellegrini, does anyone know if he is still in the running?

What about Pellegrini and AVB, are they on the shortlist?

I wonder if Pellegrini will be one of the candidates?

Does anyone know how many candidates it has been narrowed down to? Not sure if KBilly mentioned this in a previous post.

I would like Everton at home first just so we can hammer them and show RK what a mistake he has made in leaving.

I sincerely hope we do not do any business with them after what happened last year with Toby. Hopefully Victor will sign a new contract with us.

Good luck to Juanmi, I thought he showed glimpses of what he could do but shame it didn't work out in the long run.

Well after Ronald stating he would be here next season, I would still believe that in what he said for a start.

Nothing has even happened yet, people overreacting. I'm just going to wait and see what's happens. I'm still hoping Ron will stay.

I just watched that on SSN and it sounded like that Dutch reporter was trying to twist things. Talking about what he thinks will happen with no credible sources. Hope he's shown up for being utterly wrong and clueless. I just hope that Ronald signs this new deal quickly so all this can be put to bed.

Maybe its based on this - http://c.newsnow.co.uk/A/2/832684819?-15893:13227:0
