Puel for Viera doesn't make sense. Surely sacking someone with a decent record as a coach (ok, he wasn't great for us) suggests we will go for someone with equal or more success? Going for relatively unknowns will only end in tears.

He's the one, lads https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/3823873/mauricio-pellegrino-southampton/

Would rather have Puel than Dyche. Hated Puel for most of the season but warned did warn to be careful of what you wish for. This will be the most important appointment of the decade. It has to be correct, otherwise we're in deep trouble.

Giggs will be on par with Stuart Gray/Steve Wigley in the appointment stakes.

We need a manager who can entice decent, continental players to the club in order to progress. Good players are not going to be swayed by the likes of Gary Rowett just yet, unfortunately. We were lucky with Koeman and Pochettino. Puel did OK in the transfer market.

:smug:

Obviously he was never interested

Turns out it was Kevin Davies.

I'm really freaked out by the Espanyol (first game at St Mary's) upload. I didn't realise Brett Ormerod had already signed for us - I thought he was a Strachan signing? He's clearly playing in that game. So is Dean Richards. Completely forgot he left in September - I thought it was soon after Hoddle left in March. My knowledge of Saints around that time is pretty strong but I feel like I've entered the twilight zone. Has anyone got the full line up of that day?

Wish him well. Awesome under Poch and could've been an England starter if it wasn't for the injury. Looked dreadful for most of last season.

Cannot believe these guys fell for it. Did they not even think to look at the followers/following stats?

My thoughts exactly. Couldn't give a **** about van Dijk or any player for that matter. The only player worth giving a toss in my decades of supporting Southampton was Le Tiss. Obviously loads more for older fans before that. The game has changed, and so has the club. If they want to go, f*** them.

Hull appoint Leonid Slutsky. I wonder if he had shares in a certain night time establishment in Queensway?

That is a fantastic analogy. Never count your chickens before they hatch. The glee over those exit poll results was laughable. They're just a projection, not the final result. Holding out for the best, mind.

Maybe Saints are so reluctant to sell VVD right now is because a sensational manager is in line for Puel's job Lol

Dean Richards' move to Spurs was far worse! #yobbos

Let him go with all the poor mercenaries we've had in the past. Not bothered, let's move on. Players come and go. I'm still reeling Magilton's move to Sheffield Wednesday.

Haha 5/7

Never going to happen ffs

Honestly think Paul Lambert could do a great job somewhere with the right board. No troll.

If he falls out with so many managers as you say, there's no way he's going to play under Croatian Bilic.

Looking forward to you reeling them in with that tasty tasty bait

OK the bible has been quoted on this thread. And with that, I'm out.

Given his remarks about us in the past, his gloating, and general dislike among Saints fans, who here would be against appointing Brendan Rodgers?
