angelman Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 Unfortunately you are in a small minority but with a very loud voice. ( same as 2004) After serioulsy damaging the club once do you think people would thank fans for doing it again ? if Hoddle is the choice of our new owners i would expect all fans to back him. if the owner chooses another manager, he will have my support 100% !!! How about you ? I have a disabled kid, who is obviously paying for his sins in a previous life!!, so he and I wouldn't be 100% behind Hoddle.
St_Tel49 Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Speculation that Glenn Hoddle will be the new manager of Southampton FC grows in intensity. Got to be good ! Not having Hoddle back when Strachan went was a big mistake. Having him back now would be an even bigger one.
CWD Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 I might be totally wrong but GS strikes me as the sort of guy whose life is'nt totally governed by the razzle dazzle side of football. He comes across as a down to earth type of guy who loves his family and privacy more than he does his football. There was a rumour that his wife did not want to move back to scotland and enjoyed living in the south and they still have a property here. For those reasons I think it is possible that he might consider coming back here to manage. Perhaps with the financial backing of the new owner, a fanbase that in the main loves him, a home here, it might be enough to temp him. Then again, pompey might even be more of a temptation because it still ticks some of his boxes. Is he the right man I'm not sure, although he got the squad fit, was passionate, called a spade a spade, stabilised the club, some of the football was grim at times, 2003 cup final comes to mind. Spot on Billy, I think this is the reason why we will all be running naked through the streets of Southampton some time in the next week in celebration of the return of WGS He's a fighter and a football man through and through - our challenge will appeal to him im sure
offix Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Dalek must be having the biggest hard-on right now! ;-)
chrisobee Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Strachan would be my 1st choice but Hoddle did an excellent job here and got the team organised and despite the impression given most players who were here with him were impressed by him. That said I'm not sure he is the man for a League 1 team so if it's not WGS then I'm not sure who I would want. Definitely not Boothroyd, Shearer, Dowie, Reid or Gross. Keegan is highly unlikely to take the job but I'd be happy to be wrong. That leaves Tisdale and Coppell from the list in the poll, I would not be too unhappy with either. As I think I read above I would not be surprised if it is someone not on the list. Curbishley would be a good option IMO but I'd back pretty much anyone except the obvious non starters like Redknapp and Wise ( even though he is 2nd favourite with the bookies!)
chrisobee Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 I think this is the reason why we will all be running naked through the streets of Southampton some time in the next week in celebration of the return of WGS Phew, I always knew living in Watford must have some advantages !
fletch Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Everone's missing one key element - it aint our choice. We have a new owner, with a nice fat wallet who from all accounts has been in for us since the start. He will no doubt have football advisers who are telling him who the right man to do the job is. Yes, the right man to do a job not who we as fans currently have boners about. Of course he will have us in mind when choosing, but it will be a 5 - 10% effect on his choice. Hoddle did a job for us and a good one, so I wouldn't discount him from the mix - wether we like it or not. My choice? WGS or GH not Keegan. But we have to know our place in the great scheme of things, were now 1st division ad the chances of either of those three coming down are slim to none.
John B Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Not having Hoddle back when Strachan went was a big mistake. Having him back now would be an even bigger one. Yes I agree still not sure about Strachan though like I was not sure about MLT/Pinnacle. I think we need a different type of manager to take us to the Premiership. If he had been available to replace Burley I would have been in complete agreement but a lot has changed since then and patience is needed now because not everything is going to go to plan it never does especially with SFC.
Andoverian Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 I'd take teh hod. I know he got a lot of people devided when his name popped up a while back but did a very good job with us and personally think he is a very good tactition and man manager. I would also speculate that with his new job i would hope he knew the young player market very well. Him or strach and i will be ecstatic !! This is just unreal I couldn't agree more. Hoddle was a huge success last time he was here. If he hadn't been such a good manager there wouldn't have been such a furore when he decided to go to Spurs. I would be ecstatic if he came back.
Mole Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 I couldn't agree more. Hoddle was a huge success last time he was here. If he hadn't been such a good manager there wouldn't have been such a furore when he decided to go to Spurs. I would be ecstatic if he came back. I hate the blokes guts. If he came back i'd still hate his guts. The man is **** of the highest order. He shat on MLT and i will never ever forgive him for that. He's a judas traitor **** who does not deserve the job. I hate him with a passion.
70's Mike Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 really do not think this is a good move, lets appoint an up and coming guy whose career is in front of him, not someone who has done it,and build the club around him as we go forward together. it is no secret that the clubs best period in its history was 73 to 84 when the board appointed a young manager, learning his trade, and despite some grief in the early years the club was built on a strong, sustainable base and grew from that point. there are no quick fixes that can be sustained in the long term

He shat on MLT and i will never ever forgive him for that. He's a judas traitor **** who does not deserve the job. I hate him with a passion. Just because Hoddle did not think MLT deserved a place in the World Cup squad does not mean he was not a good manager. But I dont think I want him back at SFC we need someone relatively young with no SFC history shame that Bobby Robson is so old,
Mole Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Just because Hoddle did not think MLT deserved a place in the World Cup squad does not mean he was not a good manager. But I dont think I want him back at SFC The reason the big nosed **** didn't pick him for England is because he's a nasty slimy sly **** who held a grudge because MLT wouldn't join Chelsea.

SaintRichmond Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Would he bring his faith healer? Didn't know her name was " Faith " It IS true however, that many are against him because of his comments re afflicted people ....... and we ALL know some unfortunate people like that Nothing to do with his Football Acumen I know ..... but, as they say ... Sh*t sticks ........
John B Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 The reason the big nosed **** didn't pick him for England is because he's a nasty slimy sly **** who held a grudge because MLT wouldn't join Chelsea. Oh yes really Maybe he did not think MLT did not fit into his team.
Mole Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Oh yes really Maybe he did not think MLT did not fit into his team. B*llocks. Matt Le Tiss hates him with a passion for good reason. Matt Le Tiss is my hero and that **** ruined his inetrnational career just for revenge. Believe this or don't, but everyone knows Hoddle is a scumbag so it doesn't take much imagination to expect such of the slithery snake.

Yes, the right man to do a job not who we as fans currently have boners about. . That's the key bit ......... they will want, (and get) someome THEY know .... an EXPERIENCED person, with a proven track record .......... which rules out the likes of Tisdale ........ IMHO

I dont want Hoddle not sure about Strachan but as I am not making the decision it probably does not matter . What do you think?

I dont want Hoddle not sure about Strachan but as I am not making the decision it probably does not matter . What do you think? I'd take Strachan, but he ain't that special. I'm firmily in the Kevin Keegan camp because he'd create a buzz and bring some magic back.
John B Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 (edited) I'd take Strachan, but he ain't that special. I'm firmily in the Kevin Keegan camp because he'd create a buzz and bring some magic back. Yes I probably agree but I thought he may not be able to take up an appointment as he is still in dispute with Newcastle regarding severance pay Coppell or Curbishley for me Its not going to be someone like Cotterill Tisdale Boothroyd I would have thought Edited 10 July, 2009 by John B
Mole Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Yes I probably agree but I thought he may not be able to take up an appointment as he is still in dispute with Newcastle regarding severance pay Coppell or Curbishley for me Anyone apart from Hoddle for me.
thorpie the sinner Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Hoddle - yes Strachan - yes Keegan - yes any of those three, I am a happy man!!!! all bring different things to the party, hoddle, great passing game, good to watch. Strachan, fit players with a passion, Keegan, bums on seats time, buzz!!!
John B Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Hoddle - yes Strachan - yes Keegan - yes QUOTE] Yes I hope it is going to be someone of that Calibre. It is about time we had a decent Manager since Hoddle apart from Strachan and possibly Pearson we have had some rubbish appointments

It is about time we had a decent Manager since Hoddle apart from Strachan and possibly Pearson we have had some rubbish appointments I am excited it may be someone good! Don't think money will be a problem here, so they can go for the best within reason! The manager will inspire the players to do well and will get the right players in, should be well paid, so go for the best!!
Truesaint Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Cant honestly see what hoddle has that everyone gets all excited about. Yes he was good while he was here with us. Has he really set the league alight with anyone else since . . . IMO No! There are other managers i would prefer. And as for his comments in the past about disabled etc, i for one would find it very hard to accept him as manager, in fact i cant stand the bloke! Yes i will support the club whoever gets the job, but please not him!
saintwarwick Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 I couldn't agree more. Hoddle was a huge success last time he was here. If he hadn't been such a good manager there wouldn't have been such a furore when he decided to go to Spurs. I would be ecstatic if he came back. And he was such a huge hit at Tottenham that he had to step down a league for his next job and he was such a huge hit for the next three years at Wolves that they er didn't go anywhere.
John B Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 And he was such a huge hit at Tottenham that he had to step down a league for his next job and he was such a huge hit for the next three years at Wolves that they er didn't go anywhere. Perhaps he will move down another League now.

The thing is with hoddle is that when he first became a manager players looked up to his cult legend status and excused the fact he was a slimeball cvnt. Then as the years went by the old legend status wore off and players simply saw him for what he was. It's a bit like the emporors news clothes, in the end Hoddle was seen for what he was - a devious, cunning, vengeful, self obsessed tosser.

saintwarwick Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Perhaps he will move down another League now. What and spend the next three years achieving nothing :confused:
John B Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 What and spend the next three years achieving nothing :confused: Yes I agree Hoddle is not for us
Ponty Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 B*llocks. Matt Le Tiss hates him with a passion for good reason. Matt Le Tiss is my hero and that **** ruined his inetrnational career just for revenge. Believe this or don't, but everyone knows Hoddle is a scumbag so it doesn't take much imagination to expect such of the slithery snake. If revenge was Hoddle's motive, what was Venables'?
thorpie the sinner Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 I wouldn't worry anyway!! I imagine Talksport will speak to hoddle as they frequently do and he will rule himself out straight away!!
jam Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Hoddle was on Radio Five the other night talking about his academy. When asked about management he said he'd turned down about 14 jobs in the last year or so and currently all his passion was with the academy project (which has just had it's first big success story).
docker-p Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Hoddle...NO...the mans a judas, but far more importantly he's crap. What has he acheived except having the ability to divide opinon, between those who think he's useless and the rest who know he's useless. Well only have him because he has 'friends' advising the new owners. +1. Hoddle was a great player, but his achievements as a manager are at best so so. And his poor man managment skills are legend. No thanks. If we can't have WGS or KK or Copple I would rather a younger up and coming manager.
Stoozer Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 You know what. I would support pretty much any managerial choice. Some Saints fans just need an excuse to moan about anything! We've been bought. We are debt free. We have an owner who desn't mess about and knows his own mind. We have an owner who is committed to Saints for the right reasons. Because of that, I will support his decisions. Simples.
Saint Billy Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Wasn't Coppell seen at a game at St Mary's after we went into admin?
Thedelldays Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 i would take hoddle as I am not a loony that holds grudges... I would take hoddle on the fact it would be the new owners choice and I will judge him on his merits on the job in hand and not pre judge him like some morons are already doing
OldNick Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 I dont know what it is about our club. We just about get a chance to be united and then something happens to divide again.A year or so ago NP had us united and he was discarded, now when the sun comes from behind the black clouds Hoddle is mooted for a return. Sheeesh

SaintRobbie Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 i would take hoddle as I am not a loony that holds grudges... I would take hoddle on the fact it would be the new owners choice and I will judge him on his merits on the job in hand and not pre judge him like some morons are already doing Can I test that.. what if Burley came back?
Thedelldays Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Can I test that.. what if Burley came back? seriously...after this new start etc..i would back him and not get all divisive.. new start and all that.....we ALL have to play our part
OldNick Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 if you dont like the new owners choice and "divide" by it..then you (not you personally) are a grade A idiotDD, so if they brought back RL you think the fans would be 100% happy. It is an opportunity for the fans to be in the main unuited with a new start. Having GH would pick away at that immediately. I myself have decided that I will back the new people to the hilt, even if it meant the return of GH.it is thierinvestment and so I will bow to their decision.It would not sit well but if Gh says the right things and does not rub our noses in it I will take it.

Well I sort of agree on Hoddle too. Frankly I'm still pinching myself we are about to get a decent manager, regardless who it is!
