Agree the SR guys wouldn't but it's surely in Solak's interest to take some advice elsewhere, identify the man for the job and appoint him over the heads of the other nomarks. Solak is top dog and is the main money source.

There's a lot here which rings massive alarm bells and shows exactly why the club is in such a mess. Sounds a complete and utter shambles from the top down. It needs a big personality with a proven track record to be appointed by Solak to take overall control of every aspect of the footballing side, someone who will command respect, rule with an iron rod and crack down hard to get this club going in the right direction. Not a multi club man but somebody who purely concentrates on what is best for Southampton FC.

Steer well clear if this is what they think.

8 defensive players then with 3 isolated attackers. Goalkeeper, 3 centre backs, 2 'wing backs' who will mainly operate as full backs and 2 defensive midfielders - against Sheffield Wednesday! What a complete farce. Hope nobody expects to see many chances created.

I have no issue with him but get the fact that it would turn toxic very quickly if he came here and didn't get off to a good start. For that reason I don't think he'd be a good choice.

Wonder if he'd win many more games setting the side up like that and then retreating to our own penalty box for 20 minutes when leading 2-1 🙂

What I posted was factually correct and did not need this diatribe in reply 🙂

Whenever but it's always done because you never hear a sacked manager giving his views.

He's young and inexperienced. He'll have discussed team selection with Captain Jack - no doubt about that.

You were ticking a lot of boxes but I have to draw the line at the last point.

He'll have been made to sign an NDA in return for payment of his contract meaning he can't say anything.

Are you suggesting the players are picking the side and choosing to play 3 centre backs? Maybe you're onto something because if we don't play 3 centre backs they'd have to leave out one of their pals.

Saw no signs of that against QPR. Must have missed it.

8 actually because the two midfielders are hardly what you call attacking players. Does anyone coaching this club have a clue what they're doing? This chump is trying to claim Fellows can play both as a winger and a wing back. He can't because he is atrocious at defending/tackling and rarely gets forward when attempting to play wing back. Another 90 minutes of non football with zero shape or sign of progress coming up at St Marys tomorrow.

Ok but I thought Will Still was going to be flexible but he stuck rigidly to 3 centre backs, Eckert does it for the 21s and did so against QPR. It's almost as though it's being led from someone higher up than the manager.
