Anyone know much about Phillip Cocu or Gio Van Bronckhorst management style?

Weakening our already weak creative side of the team with Jay Rod out and no addition. A defensive midfielder and 2 centre backs.i would be disapointed with that.

If they've not been wrong i wouldn't have any reason to doubt what they are telling you.

The powers that be will know whether CP is staying or not, and if not they will have already been putting feelers out for a possible replacement. So i would expect the CP decision to come next week if he'll be leaving and hopefully a new man in place within a few weeks so they have the full summer to plan.

Watching spurs tonight made me realise how good MoPo has got them playing. Can we bring in a manager who can get us playing that way too. Pressure, breaking with speed, shooting outside the box, scoring goals...

It does, it was to increase the squad size. We may have ended with a weaker starting 11 but a stronger squad. Now the squad is at the required size i would expect to see improvements made.

If Puel goes it won't be because of results. Top half and cup final is a good season for us. If he goes it'll be due to style of play, off the field performance ImO

Really blaming FF for that? Giroud was about 3 yards out with a free header, no chance.

Maybe you should buy Messi too then

or.....maybe the meeting happened in germany and that reporter did the story as he was there too.....

It's the southampton way.. let one name be out in the press while actually working on another deal behind the scenes that the press and public aren't talking about.

I think that's because we planned to play a different way this year. When we switched back i feel it was a case of making do. Hopefully it'll be addressed in the summer window.

Just out of interest, why is there quite negative comments about our possible new major owner? What are you basing this on? What do you know about their plan and intention for the club? Do you think KL would sell to someone who would undo all her and her late dad hard work? Maybe cut them some slack until we have actually heard from them and their plans.

Why only sell 80% then? What's the point of holding a small stake?!

I assume it's to ensure the run the club in the way agreed and if they do I'm sure the remaining 20% will be sold too. You would think there would be investment criteria attached to the investment surely?!

Ah so today is the let's blame Dave Watson day is it?

might as well withdraw his plans for the massive extension on his home then...

If we are going to play 4-2-3-1 then someone to play along side Romeu in the 2 is a must.

If he had jumped in the wall for the first goal he would have blocked it He also left Rojo to run into the box for the second goal too

Have a great day to everyone luckily enough to have a ticket. I'll have to settle for watching at home a I couldn't get one. Get behind the team and make us proud to be a saint.

Manchini?

Bet you play FM right?

Odd we are after a keeper at the moment. Even with McCarthy out we still have Lewis and Taylor, unless Lewis is about to go on loan?!

7:45pm today Napoli play, will he be in the squad.....

Did anyone check the directors area today? My mate who was there said there was a younger guy with some older men he didn't reckonise in there. Sitting a couple of rows behind Les. Might be nothing, just guests of directors or a possible signing?
