Matthew Le God Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 Yes, its not the most reliable paper but "apparently" Gordon Strachan is the man the new chairman wants along with Steve Coppell. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/2527184/Saints-eye-Strachan.html
Micky Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 Maybe not the most reliable - but they were spot on the money reference Kelvin last night. Who knows - lightening could strike twice...!
The Tango Man Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 Good combination Strachan and Coppell..I would be happy with that .
Matthew Le God Posted 9 July, 2009 Author Posted 9 July, 2009 Good combination Strachan and Coppell..I would be happy with that . I think it would be one or the other.
Micky Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 I think it would be one or the other. Agreed - both very strong characters - couldn't see them working in partnership. Almost a Keegan / Wise situation all over again - and we wouldn't want that.
Micky Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 Sounds a lot more promising than Tony Adams! Please no... nice man, but he worries me whenever he gives an interview - he just appears as if 'the lights are on but nobody is at home', he just doesn't seem all there. Coaching - maybe, managing errr not for me thanks.
DrZuess1979 the 2nd Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 OMG I am still in shock the past 24hrs have been nmade Is this really happaning to Saints!!!!!!!
suewhistle Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 Perhaps they've been bugging somebodies mobile phone??
CityRanger Posted 9 July, 2009 Posted 9 July, 2009 Sun bloke with "spot on" Kelvin story last night is friend of Kelvins Dad. This story by different reporter but he may have fed it to him...
SaintBobby Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 There's a limit to the amount of good news I can consume in a week... Not convinced about this story, but would def cream my jeans if this is true...
alexlabibi Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Reuben Agboola is in talks with saints to become manager.
westofshannonsaint Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Reuben Agboola is in talks with saints to become manager. Now that would be headline news..... Billionaire owner hires car sales man as Saints boss! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reuben_Agboola#Later_career (p.s. I know its only wikipedia, so it might not be true)
Toadhall Saint Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Sounds a lot more promising than Tony Adams! My pet rabbit would sound better than that joker!
SaintRobbie Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Funnily enough, The Sun tends to be more reliable than The Mail. God I hope so.
charlie saint Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Yes, its not the most reliable paper but "apparently" Gordon Strachan is the man the new chairman wants along with Steve Coppell. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/2527184/Saints-eye-Strachan.html "Not the most reliable paper" ? If they've not tapped ML's phone already, I'll eat my hat. Allegedly.
PercyR Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 KK allegedly wanted £20m to rebuild the squad to get us out of Div 1. If it is Strachan how much do you think he would ask for?
kpturner Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Yes, its not the most reliable paper but "apparently" Gordon Strachan is the man the new chairman wants along with Steve Coppell. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/2527184/Saints-eye-Strachan.html I know he is rich but it is a bit excessive wanting them both isn't it? What if they don't see eye to eye (similar heights though aren't they)? :-)
Noodles34 Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 funny this, because a mates brother said this morning tat he saw Strachan at Staplewood yesterday, i dismissed it but now.......
Prince Jazzbo Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 They may well be refusing to deny it because if they do, everyone will think 'oh right it not Strachan' thus setting hares running in places that the club may not want to, as they may be in negotiation with someone. Its a bit like the yanks never denying that there are flying saucers at Area 51, the less they deny it the more conspiracy theories there are, thus taking the spotlight away from what really goes on there. I'll get me coat.
Big Bad Bob Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Perhaps they've been bugging somebodies mobile phone?? "Not the most reliable paper" ? If they've not tapped ML's phone already, I'll eat my hat. Allegedly. Hmm, just to set the record straight AND AS A WARNING TO YOU GUYS. They didn't actually tap/bug anyone's phones. They just realised that people don't tend to change the default pin on their voicemail accounts. So they worked out what the voicemail number for the people in question were, dialled that number, tried the default PIN and bingo!! And to keep this on topic. I would welcome WGS back in a blink. The Saints team he managed were the fittest I have seen for a long time, and he didn't take any **** from the players either.
The9 Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 KK allegedly wanted £20m to rebuild the squad to get us out of Div 1. If it is Strachan how much do you think he would ask for? How much would it cost to sign Telfer and Paul Williams ?
Noodles34 Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 How much would it cost to sign Telfer and Paul Williams ? YOu'd do it for 5, 20 mill is ridiculous, but then it is KK
SaintRobbie Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 funny this, because a mates brother said this morning tat he saw Strachan at Staplewood yesterday, i dismissed it but now....... If you're winding me up again! Could this be true?

So they worked out what the voicemail number for the people in question were, dialled that number, tried the default PIN and bingo!! . Which is a huge invasion of privacy for which I hope they get a massive fine or put out of business to make a point. Public interest? No. Anyway... back to WGS!
Polaroid Saint Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Hmm, just to set the record straight AND AS A WARNING TO YOU GUYS. They didn't actually tap/bug anyone's phones.

The Saints team he managed were the fittest I have seen for a long time, and he didn't take any **** from the players either. This is what News International have "provisionally admitted" to, that is paying PI's to check unsecurred mailboxes. They have NOT admitted to bugging phones or paying any ex-military/police/service operatives to do it for them. oh no. they certainly haven't. Doesn't mean they haven't, dont or wont... ...goood tip about changing the PIN, but no need to defend the fourth estate. Newspaper professionals have long used self-serving, intrusive and oft-times illegal activities to get a good story. Having said all that, the Sun's journalism is very professional indeed, whilst the Mail is amongst the worst in the country. If there's a conflicting story in the two papers, I know which one I'd trust.

Polaroid Saint Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Hey, don't take me setting the record straight and stopping mass panic and hysteria with defence of what occurred!! Fair do's! But we do LIKE hysteria on these here message boards... ;-)
Big Bad Bob Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Fair do's! But we do LIKE hysteria on these here message boards... ;-) OK, how about this, I've just heard that WGS will be our manager, but with SCW as DOF!!
Mr X Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Does anyone honestly believe WGS would consider a league 1 job? even with funds available he has too much pride. Although noone can deny it would be hell of a challenge for him
notnowcato Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Does anyone honestly believe WGS would consider a league 1 job? even with funds available he has too much pride. Although noone can deny it would be hell of a challenge for him I'm confused.com... do you believe or not??
SaintRobbie Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 OK, how about this, I've just heard that WGS will be our manager, but with SCW as DOF!! Eye-gymtastic!
Cascadia Saint Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Saints refuse to deny Strachan at club last night. Never struck me as the clubbing type. Still, if he had his id on him he could get into ikon I suppose.
Plonko Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Does anyone honestly believe WGS would consider a league 1 job? even with funds available he has too much pride. Although noone can deny it would be hell of a challenge for him I honestly believe Saints are the only club that COULD temp him into league 1 football.
SaintRobbie Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 I honestly believe Saints are the only club that COULD temp him into league 1 football. True.
CWD Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 I honestly believe Saints are the only club that COULD temp him into league 1 football. +1. Im convinced this is going to happen

Although noone can deny it would be hell of a challenge for him Money lured Kevin Keegan to League One football at Fulham so why not Strachan to a club he was happy at before?

TV cameras are there
sotonist Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 I honestly believe Saints are the only club that COULD temp him into league 1 football. Not Leeds then?
Smirking_Saint Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 COYR This is just all amazing !!!!! That would honestly give me a raging helmet for the weekend if anything is announced today
trousers Posted 10 July, 2009 Posted 10 July, 2009 Just been past Staplewood.... TV cameras are there Good to see we can still make use of 'takeover phrases' in our brave new world

The Saints team he managed were the fittest I have seen for a long time, and he didn't take any **** from the players either. You're right - sorry. By the way - I think there's a well tested defence to libel, which is if the statement was a joke - so that's alright. As for WGS... I would worry. You know the axiom that all political careers end in failure? Well, if that's true, then the same applies to Football Managers. The last time he left us he was a legend. If he came back, I'd be worried that the next time he left it would be because he'd been a disaster (even if in the meantime we'd been back to 4th in the Prem...). There's another proverb about the impossibility of 'going back'. It's never the same. Oh, go on then. He'd be great.
