NickG Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 not want - but think is most likely; Hard, but if I had to go to bookies with one name would say Dowie.
NickG Posted 9 July, 2009 Author Posted 9 July, 2009 forgot there was a speculation thread - although I posted on it! thought there was just the who do you want poll! its all too much for me!
Matthew Le God Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 I have a feeling someone may be appointed in the next 72 hours.
Toadhall Saint Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 I have a feeling someone may be appointed in the next 72 hours. I'd go for less time - just depends on whether the man they want is employed or not at the mo'.
Wade Garrett Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 Have I mentioned that I saw Strachan driving over the Bridge this afternoon.
ozzmeister Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 Coppell for me - announcement tomorrow, would not suprise me if they already have their man secured and have been telling him to identify his targets.
ottery st mary Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 To me this is up there with some of the better freds........Big Phil for me with Little nickh on the oranges for half time.
Mr Nice Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 Coppell is having a siesta from football and turned down West Brom and Watford. Oliver Bierhoff
Bongo badger Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 Coppell was seen at SMS just before the pinnacle balls up, who knows the swiss may have already talked to him weeks ago before that. I will go for Coppell
thorpie the sinner Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 Did I mention Strachan on the Bridge today. No, you didn't!!
DT Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 Nasty feeling it'll be shearer. Better one that it'll be souness. Or maybe even hoddle. Would love it to be keegan.
thorpie the sinner Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 He didn't what? mention strachan on the bridge lol!!!!!!
alpine_saint Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 Ooo, imagine the players reaction after a first early-morning Strachan training session....... They wont know what's hit them.
surrey1saint Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 My guess is that it will be a German/Swiss manager that Markus has had lined up for some time.
saint lard Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 Talksport think Hoddle,according to "their sources"
alpine_saint Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 It will be a manager from English football with an international reputation, methinks. I have a nagging feeling Hoddle fits the bill.
NickG Posted 9 July, 2009 Author Posted 9 July, 2009 It will be a manager from English football with an international reputation, methinks. I have a nagging feeling Hoddle fits the bill. wouldn't be surpised.
alpine_saint Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 wouldn't be surpised. Now I've remembered Keegan's German links, I am leaning towards him.
NickG Posted 9 July, 2009 Author Posted 9 July, 2009 He is by far the biggest name, if you wanted to have a club as an extravagant corporate hospitality thing, attract media, players and have best chance to start the season with a few straight wins - big support etc Keegan would be head and shoulders ahead of WGS in your thinking. Particularly if foreign, compare profile of manager of Coventry, Saints and Celtic with manager of Newcastle, Man C, Fulham and England, England Capt, twice European footballer of the year.

Particularly if foreign, compare profile of manager of Coventry, Saints and Celtic with manager of Newcastle, Man C, Fulham and England, England Capt, twice European footballer of the year. I would have to agree with that and the fact that Keegan played in Hamburg, where ML probably followed his playing career and the fact that we signed him from them, may well have sewn the seed of knowledge of our football club in ML's brain? Who knows??
Holbury Saint Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 Now I know this may be laughed off but I have been told today by someone who I used to work with at the club that Strachan was at training ground today between the time training finished and the Wotte sacking announcement. This person actually spoke to Strachan and asked what he was doing there. Strachans response was that the physio Mo Gimpel was looking at his leg! Yes, I know sounds far fetched but this person is not an ITK blagger and doesn't make up nonesense for effect. Has anyone else heard this?
PaulSaint Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 Now I've remembered Keegan's German links, I am leaning towards him. I agree, there will be a german/swiss connection, so Keegan or the managerless Gross?
saint peach Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 (edited) You heard it here first... Reuben Agboola. Edited 9 July, 2009 by saint peach
Redbul Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 You heard it here first... Reuben Agboola. Last I heard he was managing the Sporting View at the Sports Centre in Southampton....
SaintNeil90 Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 Now I know this may be laughed off but I have been told today by someone who I used to work with at the club that Strachan was at training ground today between the time training finished and the Wotte sacking announcement.

Yes, I know sounds far fetched but this person is not an ITK blagger and doesn't make up nonesense for effect. Has anyone else heard this? I really do hope this is true! And it is a typical Strachan response for 'IS IT NOT BL**DY OBVIOUS!'
Whitey Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 The Sun is reporting that we're after Strachan and he was at the training ground yesterday?? http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/2527184/Saints-eye-Strachan.html?OTC-RSS&ATTR=Football
Draino76 Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 My pal from betfair says its a done deal, and that we will 'love it'.
SaintNeil90 Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE ME TRUE! IM ACTUALLY GOING TO JUMP AROUND SAYING YES YES YES YES LIKE A CHILD IF IT DOES! sorry excited ^
offix Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 not want - but think is most likely; Most likely (IMHO)? I would say Coppell Want? WGS or KK (in that order)
saint peach Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Last I heard he was managing the Sporting View at the Sports Centre in Southampton.... That's what we need... good solid managerial experience.
Bailey Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 I WANT it to be Strachan, with Keegan as my second choice. However, I THINK it'll be a relatively unknown foreign manager. Not the 'household name' that many are expecting.
Bakovnetski Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 My guess is that it will be a German/Swiss manager that Markus has had lined up for some time. Christian Gross?
qwertySFC Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 However, I THINK it'll be a relatively unknown foreign manager. Not the 'household name' that many are expecting. probably some unknown German Horst Hrubesch
