SaintRichmond Posted 18 July, 2009 Share Posted 18 July, 2009 A very weak appointment as manager who IMHO will not put bums on seats! Maybe he is the best we could expect BUT... no ..not a good start! Sorry mate, but I do not agree ..... Face Facts .... We NEARLY went out of Business We ARE in Div 1 We ARE starting on - 10 points We DO (ATM) have a "weak" Squad For ALL of the above, to a potential Manager, we are NOT 100% "attractive" I believe that getting Alan Pardew will prove to be a very shrewd move. I think that a lot of thought has gone into it, and that the likes of WGS gave an opinion of what TYPE of Manager was neede FOR DIVISION 1 I think that AP's appointment is another massive POSITIVE move by Mssrs Leibherr / Cortese:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Tender Posted 18 July, 2009 Share Posted 18 July, 2009 TBF . the fact that ML has LISTENED to advisors and appointed an Engish manager with the lower league experience should be taken as agood sign. He has admitted that he knows little about the english lower leagues although he is a football fan... now it may turn out to be an inspired choice given that AP will have a lot to prove as did Strachan when he joined, it may turn out to be utter sh ite but that is the nature of the game... the fact remains he has taken a punt based on ADVICE rather than assuming an all encompasing knowledge because he owns the club... that shows a decent brain rests in the head of ML - even if pardue does not work out. We need experience and dedicationa and stabilty - now is the time for putting down foundations, not building on the soft ground we have after all the recent turmoil and remember its a long term plan not a quick fix... results will determine Pardues legacy , not politics and thats the thing like most about the situation. Who is this Pardue guy of whom you speak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surrey1saint Posted 18 July, 2009 Share Posted 18 July, 2009 What more could we wish for than to have a billionaire owner and a debt free club. Very exciting times for us Saints fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Third Division South Days Posted 18 July, 2009 Share Posted 18 July, 2009 Is Dave Jones (former SFC director) still at the club or has he a role in the new setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasgow_Saint Posted 18 July, 2009 Share Posted 18 July, 2009 (edited) What on earth are talking about, you oddity? How does one splash the cash (big style) in League One? No, actually you're right. Unless we sign Eto'o and Terry we should all be suspicious. Thank **** illuminati like you are observing; hawk-like. I tell you what; if we appoint Steve Wigley or Jan Poortvliet, I'll take up the suspicion mantle. You deserve a rest after all your hard work. At last some appreciation and recognition......finally Edited 18 July, 2009 by Glasgow_Saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasgow_Saint Posted 18 July, 2009 Share Posted 18 July, 2009 Don't think i'm part of EVERYONE then. Ambition takes many different forms OBS. You carry on watching ML like a hawk. It's so nice to know that we have a punk watcher amongst us - have you been to the tower of London lately? There's loads of punks there and they'll happy let you take their picture if you pay them a tenner. I'd love to go to the tower of London, but £10 for a photo - are you kidding? that's very exensive. besides I think my time maybe better spent watching our friend ML?
