Thedelldays Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 This is yet more BAD news. I dont see how anyone could support this eejit in charge of the team. A man who relegated us to League 1, is best mates with Lowe, has no tactical idea, is uninspirational, no idea about the league, no respect, guaranteed to cause division amongst the fans and starts his new term with many fans expecting and almost hoping he fails! The blokes a loser. Last of the Lowe-lifes. AND largely responsible for project youth totally daft football. And people like him as he has shown dignity in defeat?! DEFEAT. He is a loser 100% loser. here we have it we almost dont have a club to support and this is the view from some of the fan base..? maybe we have the club SOME fans deserve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRobbie Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 (edited) here we have it we almost dont have a club to support and this is the view from some of the fan base..? maybe we have the club SOME fans deserve I agree with you. Sadly I think we have TDD, we will have fans who will be reading this right now preparing to say I told you so... I gave up doing that 12 months ago. I hope he's successful. I hope he promotes us. I hope he does the business IF the new owners keep him. I will support as ever. But you know what TDD... despite my blind optimism and hope he does succeed, my head tells me yet again relegation looms. I am a tad worried ol' bean. That said... I think the new owners wouldnt be so daft as to continue his contract. I think he'll be out shortly once they select a new guy. I suspect he's on £60K a year and is therefore expendable and this merely buys a little time whilst the new owners select someone. But hey this is Southampton and just when you think you've bottomed out... we are disappointed yet again. I hope that changes on friday.

shurlock Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 (edited) SSN: Wotte spoke about the importance of continuity. Met the Swiss group four weeks ago, showed them around sms and staplewood. Said they were a very respectable group. Strange how he opened the interview - sounded as if they had already taken over! Interviewer had to clarify things at which point Wotte said that he met them a while ago. Hopefully nothing's changed in that time.

SaintRobbie Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 Just watched the orange-r looking man. Have to say I fully agree with Wotte - this club needs a manager for some consistency. i.e. the next one for some time. He failed to answer the key question which was have the Swiss group made you an offer, putting it off with a reply saying he met them 5 weeks ago when he showed them round. So, thankfully, it seems as if the Swiss group havent offered him a contract. But, if Wotte is using the consistency argument... lets agree and keep the next man for 6 years. Wotte also said he wants the club to start from scratch.... League 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordonToo Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 Wotte met the Swiss group four weeks ago - talking as if they're very serious. hopefully nothing's changed in that time. Yes, I thought he was being careful not to give too much away but it certainly looks as though the end game is fast approaching. I had to smile at his comment about having to start from scratch as not being a bad thing. Good luck to him though and hope he's able to pull it off.

Ewell Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 Good on him. He has carried himself with great dignity throughout this debacle. Fair play to him. The team needs guidance and he's all we have. He could've walked, but he hasn't. Well Said. Mark Wotte deserves a huge amount of thanks credit from the fans of Southampton Football Club. During our troubles he has conducted himself admirably and to be fair to him he does deserve to make a go of things. Judging him on last season is flawed as it was not his team and they were not playing to his style or system. Personally I do think there are better candidates out there but Wotte is our man for now and we should give him a chance and all get behind him.

grammy Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 Good good good. He could have buggered off leaving us without anyone to take training. That would have been a disaster. Personally I'd rather have someone else in charge in the long term but I'm glad Wotte has stuck by us despite being constantly kept in the dark and treated very badly. Here here! Cant believe the whingers are moaning about this. Wotte has been completely profesional through all of this and could have walked away. Good on him for been committed to sfc. He's the only chance weve got of being anything near prepared come the Millwall game. FFS STOP BLOODY MOANING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joesaint Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 I think as soon as we are takern over provided we are we maybe should stick with him as we need some stability within the club. especially as it seems the players want him to stay.

Saint Fen Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 In a football world these days which is filled with mercenaries, egos and those who put £££ before anything else, Mark Wotte has been a fantastic example of a man who has been unselfish, looked at the bigger picture and is, I think, genuinely delighted to be at Southampton Football Club. Whatever debate there is about his skills as a manager, and whether people think he should remain in charge, I hope that everyone will respect the way Mark Wotte has acted throughout. I think this is a fair post. He has acted brilliantly and at least with him staying until owners are found we are getting a half decent pre-season cause were all ready behind in the league and need to be prepared to battle ASAP. Wotte has acted admirable and has been a credit even though not getting paid, constantly seeing other people being linked with his job etc. Not my choice to remain in the position once new owners are found.

Thats hardly a visionary prediction since we start on -10 and will have nothing left BUT kids with no money for any new players... under those circumstances we should be lucky someone is willing to stay and do something as I cant see many takers from here... You want a winner? Well start by being one yourself. We as a fan base need to start acting like winners too, by stopping this constant blame game - every feckin thing that goes wrong its who can we blame? mostly it was Lowe, then Wilde and or Crouch, then Lowe again,then Fry, then TL (but not MLT as he's a god - when if blaming TL we have to blame MLT equally as they both knew the same level of info) next it will be Wotte, a bloke who stuck by us under these circumstances - this constant fecking need to blame someone for the trials and tribulations of the club - when sometimes we should just shut the feck up and go and watch no matter how crap we are or whose fault it is.... this constant misinformed ignorant urban myth generating media ****** about 'where has all the money gone and financial mismanagement from Lawrie and even Dave Bassett last night, jumped on as gospel by the ignorant - spread as such by those with an agenda, when the books clearly show where it went for those who bothered to look. Its all just utter bo llox. When you sign up to be a fan you support through thick and thin - if you dont want to fair enoughstop supporting and stop going if it no longer appeals, but you also then need to stop calling yourself a supporter - because supporters support first and foremost. We are about as low as we can get and still we get this kind of negative, miserable self indulgent rubbish... Time to step up to the mark - we get behind the side and support who ever is in charge come what may - or feck off and go worship the telly like the plastic prem sky brigade.

And will support Wotte if he stays as he's the manager of my team. Sadly I will expect him to fail as he did last time, but will soldier on optimistically.

I actually think its the opposite - because if they have limited football experience, the first thing they need to do it get up to speed and settle in and learn - by potentially keeping Wotte albeit short term it helps with continuity rather than rushing in and making rash new appointments when you dont know the first thing about L1 football...

saint lard Posted 1 July, 2009 Author Share Posted 1 July, 2009 Ok,for the sake of some short term stability, in this time of uncertainty,fine i will reluctantly agree it is probably the best option. But, no way on gods green earth i want him anywhere near the first team for longer than really bloody nesessary. Failed before, will fail again.He was also a main cog in the wheel during the Portvliet era,though some chose to forget this,and that was a disaster. Also he appeared to be reverting to clueless decision making,eratic team selections as when he and Portviet were in charge. Devoid of any tactical nous,back too the academy ASAP please.

Greenridge Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 Perhaps someone could enlighten those hugely underwhelmed by the appointment exactly what Wotte demonstrated in his short tenure at the helm that gives you confidence he will succeed this year. Was it his motivational skills or prehaps his playing of Smith and claiming he had world class abilities? I whole-heartedly agree he has shown loyalty to Saints, although of course depends on whether he had any other options, but being loyal does not make you a good manager. I really hope that I am wrong or that this is only a temporary measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chi saint Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 I was never a total fan of him but as far as i'm concerned I hope when this mess is all sorted he gets rewarded for the way he has conducted himself these past few weeks. He could have jumped ship, spilt the beans to the tabloids but has instead remained dignified, which reflects well on the club, all we would need was for the manager to walk out and it would be a case of last one out the door, turn off the lights. Why not give him the managers job, let him try what he wants and if it doesn't work at least we did right by him, something increasingly rare with Saints for the past few years. It would send the right message to those looking into the club and hoping for a new era of loyalty, a dignified and proud club not one with a revolving door, again reminiscent of past decade. We could of course appoint some name, who once they have made an impact or resurrected their career moves on to a bigger not though neccesarily a better club - sound familiar? and thus the merry go round would continue.

Clifford Nelson Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 Hasn't it sunk in that we are not going to be taken over by someone with "hundreds of millions" in the wallet. Wotte have got pedigree and worked amazingly hard in achieving the nearly impossible. What did he do that was so outrageous so that most blokes you meet in the pub at 3 o'clock would have done it better? Sometimes it's depressing to see so many moaners in one place. If Wotte is the manager for the next year, let's all be grateful that we are still in existence and support him every step of the way. Face it, there isn't a sugar daddy out there. The endless negativity has got to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint lard Posted 1 July, 2009 Author Share Posted 1 July, 2009 So last season we started with two Dutch coaches,a relatively young inexperienced and physically lightweight squad tryinig to play "pretty" football yet not capable of getting many positive results,especially at home. This season we start in lower league with one of the remaining Dutch coaches, the smattering of experienced players in the squad last season appear to be leaving and i'm sure there will be more to follow,therfore nothing has really changed,oh and we begin the forthcoming season on -10. Trying to get excited about the forthcoming season is proving a tad difficult,god i hate administration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearing that in mind, you have to keep Wotte, Svensson and Henderson as else there would be no one in the short term to oversee the start of the season.

I've got alot of respect for Wotte - he's very frank with his views, but that's not always a bad thing is it? We were better under Wotte than we were under Jan anyway, the team had a bit of 'shape' to it...rather than Jans ''Go and play wherever'' formation.

Without question he deserves to have his loyalty rewarded and with some modest financial backing he has the potential to deliver in the long term.
