offix Posted 27 June, 2009 Share Posted 27 June, 2009 KK or WGS would be absolutely fantastic, but it's hard to believe either of them would want to manage a Div. 3 team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Right sider Posted 27 June, 2009 Share Posted 27 June, 2009 I laughed at first but Hoddle was MLT's hero as a kid, and after WGS turned him down due to points penalty, Hoddle and KK were the next enquiries, KK more in an advisory role though. Believe they are actually good friends through Sky these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ottery st mary Posted 27 June, 2009 Share Posted 27 June, 2009 Hoddle really.. So Sydenham and Paine on the wings...Hoddle and MLT in the middle....What a quartet......We will walk this league......My own Steward has told me it will be Case in the middle and not Hoddle.....MLT crossed Hoddle out of his scrap book after Hoddle messed Le Tiss around in that Loftus England 'B' game...Hatrick and all and threw a tantrum by not picking Le God.For World Cup in France...

Badger Posted 27 June, 2009 Share Posted 27 June, 2009 I'm split between Keegan (exciting, unifying but maybe an early walkout appointment) and Tisdale (slight gamble but could be the next moyes appoitment) Agree totally with that.KK would be an inspiration from the outset,Tisdale a longer term option to build the team and club.

Pat from Poole Posted 27 June, 2009 Share Posted 27 June, 2009 A friend is a steward who heard it at the club. Hoddle refused to contribute to MLT's testimonial programme, the only Saints manager of the 1990's and early part of this decade to do so. Even Branfoot contributed, FFS. He won't be coming back if MLT is chairman, more chance of us signing Torres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelkel31 Posted 28 June, 2009 Share Posted 28 June, 2009 I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Tommy Widdrington :shock: if MLT was only speaking to KK and others for advice on who to employ as manager there is one name if havent seen mentioned that i think would have been very high on the list of names, and if were allowing ourselves to believe that KK or WGS (which would both be fantastic) are coming theres no reason to not add one more. the best choice of manager( not the sexiest i know) is steve coppell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints4Prem Posted 28 June, 2009 Share Posted 28 June, 2009 I would prefer WGS over everyone, not impressed with Wise returning but what a good shout Gus Poyet would be, he and Wise did a great job at Leeds until Poyet left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shurlock Posted 28 June, 2009 Share Posted 28 June, 2009 Unless the prospective buyers have someone already lined up - and it appears the Swiss have alot to learn about the english leagues and if was a manager and I had been approached by Pinnacle, I would be having doubts, surely Wotte's hand has been strengthened by recent developments? We're less than a week from preseason friendlies, players don't know whether they are coming or going. The need for stability seems paramount at the moment.

dubsaint Posted 28 June, 2009 Share Posted 28 June, 2009 This needs a tough, no nonsense manager and for that we need the one manager capable of putting together a strong squad, quickly wiping out the points deficit and getting in with a chance of promotion. For me the one person capable of this who is available is DENNIS WISE. If money's no hold back then pair him up with Gus Poyet. totally agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that is how I see with - 10 points it is unlikely we will be promoted automatically so let us consolidate in Div 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badvoc Posted 28 June, 2009 Share Posted 28 June, 2009 The new line up will be: DoF = Keegan Manager = Shearer Tactical Coach = Hoddle Tea boy\toilet cleaner = R****t L**e KK as DOF and AS as Manager is, in my opinion the plan Pinnacle have had from the start. Interestingly, MLT never denied KK as NOT being sounded out to have a position at St Marys. He merely said he was not being considered as Manager. I believe MLT spoke to KK about his thoughts of working with AS, bearing in mind their close relationship at NUFC. Interestingly, unless somebody else knows different, Shearer has not been formally given the Manager's job at St James Park yet, which strikes me as rather odd bearing in mind they are going into a crucial season in their history. Could AS be holding out for the Saints situation to resolve itself? Have KK or AS actively denied having any talks with Pinnacle/Saints about the SFC situation, despite the media speculating on both being lined up on different occasions? Would appreciate if anybody could confirm. For me the active silence is deafening, bearing in mind the recent media speculation. If I was KK or AS I would have categorically come out and said "I have no interest in the possible Southampton situation" IF I had just had a chat with MLT about football advice OR I was the current manager of a Championship club. The fact that they have said nothing on record would denote they are holding their cards very close to their chest. Tomorrow or Tuesday will be a very intersting day indeed.

NickG Posted 28 June, 2009 Share Posted 28 June, 2009 one of the very recent MLT interviews he was twice asked if KK was going to be manager. He refused to deny it.

MLT was aware of the publicity and if KK was not being considered, at all or for another role he could easily said, no he won't be manager Exactly Nick, no categorical denials, although my gut instinct is still AS as manager with KK in some other role. In the interview I have seen MLT says: "...the papers get hold of the pictures, the stories get plastered and everyone puts 2 and 2 together and occasionally come up with 5" Well, if 5 = Saints Manager, then surely 4 = something just slightly different (ie DOF).

Psycrow Posted 28 June, 2009 Share Posted 28 June, 2009 I'd rather claw my eyes out than have Ince as manager, I can't understand the love in with him And I'd rather have Ince as manager than Shearer. I do have to wonder about Strachen's continuing unemployment. I know its a pipedream, but he should have been snapped up by a dozen other clubs by now. Something, probably my heart, is telling me he's holding out for something... KK would be unbelievable, for many reasons. Realistically, I would say Boothroyd would be my choice.

They say never go back, in most walks of life. With hindsight we did have some blooming good managers over the years and it's a pity, almost tragedy, that things have panned out the way they have. Just looking back and not prioritising their varying experience and levels of skill we have had Hoddle, WGS and even Nigel Pearson. I'm beginning to wonder what one of them paired with KK as D.O.F. could do. Maybe though KK and Hoddle wouldn't gel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
