Yes. He will.

Great plan - makes perfect sense. Get the players away to 're-bond' and get the chance to understand how the new guy wants to work, his vision etc. And do so in a decent setting with some sunshine. Come back refreshed, energised and focus on the 'New Southampton'.

Could you imaging how Pardew would feel!?

So why is it when we face a team who have just changed their manager it is a nailed on win for them - new manager honeymoon; yet when we change our manager it's a nailed on loss for us?? We're playing well; the team has confidence; we are at home; the players have a new boss to impress. 3-1 Saints.

Redcrapp can barely slur a handful of words together, and sadly he has done ok too.

Bang on. I expect there will be a Football Focus or Telegraph exclusive interview with him once the transfer window closes, giving him the chance to restate his ambition for the club. And which many on here will call self publicising propaganda.

"I DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM SHOUTING ABOUT". Yes. I think everyone does need to take a step back. I'm saddened for how Nigel has been treated, but this new guy might be a genius. Managers and players come and go, but we remain Saints.

And that is how easy it is to lose a fan base.

Thats her - I'd recognise them anywhere.

To be fair, if he did a Redcrapp and immediately said we need to strengthen because the players are crap I suspect that would have a more negative impact.

Pretty stupid punditry. Shows his level of intelligence.

That girl on SSN has got a cracking rack to be fair. Look pert as ****.

+1.

Maybe this guy is **** hot. Maybe he is a future Real Madrid manager. Maybe he is a significant upgrade to Nigel.And putting aside sentiment, he might well be: the Pardew decision was justified wasn't it?But the timing is ****ing shocking. Just plain stupid.

Surely this. Cortese would be crazy to do it at this stage of the season. But then he sacked Pardew out of the blue.

Yep - but isn't he a Spanish/South American correspondent? Saw his tweet and it fired of an alarm in me. Have asked him if it's related to Saints at all; no reply yet.

Can't be related....? Guillem Balague ‏@GuillemBalague I have been told 2day a great friend of mine will get his dream come true! U will all be talking about it later. What a clever replacement! Guillem BalagueVerified ‏@GuillemBalague People might think its a bit left field but two of the cleaverest guys are about to be given a superjob. We'll celebrate later

Love the SRL goal from the Chung header. Talk about putting your foot through it!

Just no.

I like Chung; seems a decent bloke and a good player. Better than Barnard, better than Sharp. Think his injury came at a bad time: when he was beginning to get into life in the English league, when he had started to form a good partnership with SRL. Remember games where it was clear his movement was beyond that which the other players could anticipate or utilise; and NA said as much. The squad has moved on now, and we no longer play with 2 strikers, so I do think he is on borrowed time: may not even be with us come February. Massive shame since I think he could do a very good job in front of Ramirez. Can't say a bad word against him. But maybe not the type of player our squad has room for now.

OR.... We're going to announce two new signings? OR.... Forren is being used to force the hand of someone else? (Astori? A.N.Other?) OR.... The BVI loan hasn't made it to the club bank account yet The hold up does seem a little strange though - has he been training with the squad?

That'd be a cracking sequel to 'Escape to Victory'.

"Weelll Gaarry; Liverpool would never of signed him - clearly not the quality we neeed. You can't buy a Premier League quality centre back for less than £10M anyway. Feels like a good budget signing for a small team like Southampton. D'you like my new jumper by the way?"

Going to get an eReader. I like the look of the Kindle Paperwhite - I want something I can use in the dark. But I may want to listed to MP3 on it too, which the Paperwhite won't allow. Anyone use a Kindle Fire? Is it a decent reading experience? Seems like it might be too heavy to me....
